Continue building strength, confidence, and control in the early stages of pointe work.
After dancers have successfully completed their first pointe class, the next step is developing the strength and coordination needed to move safely and confidently on pointe.
Beginner Pointe Lesson Plan 2 is designed to follow Beginner Pointe Lesson Plan 1 and provides the next level of progression for students who are beginning their pointe journey. The combinations continue to reinforce proper alignment and technique while gradually introducing more single-leg pointe work and movement challenges.
This lesson plan includes 11 carefully structured combinations that help dancers build strength, stability, and confidence while continuing to develop their pointe technique.
This lesson plan includes:
Warm-up exercises
Relevés with weight shifts to safely introduce single-leg pointe work
Tendus and dégagés incorporating pointe technique
Piqué, coupé & passé combination
Center exercises including échappés, relevés, and elevés
Across-the-floor combinations
The combinations are designed to allow dancers to continue strengthening their feet, ankles, and supporting muscles while developing control in turnout and balance. Each exercise builds upon the skills introduced in the first Beginner Pointe Lesson Plan while giving students a rewarding sense of accomplishment.
Like the first lesson plan, this class is intentionally designed to be repeated for several weeks depending on the strength and readiness of the dancers. Repetition allows students to gain confidence, improve technique, and create strong pointe habits from the beginning.
