Commonly Asked Questions

 

Who is this for?

This program is for the dancer that want stronger ankles, feet, + standing legs for class. No matter if your goals are to go en pointe for the first time, build strength already en pointe, or have a stronger demi pointe. This is the program for you!

Am I too Old or Young to do this Program?

This is designed with dancers 8-99 in mind!

Young dancers should have decent body awareness. I find about 8-9 years old is a good time to start working on basic strength like this. 

Adults this program is for you! Whether you are coming back to dance after a long break, or starting this new skill as an adult, this program will help you gain strength, increase technique, dance knowledge + reduce risk of injury. My adult dancers LOVE this program.

 

I'm not planning to go en Pointe...Is this for me?

Absolutely. Every time you stand, releve, piroette, jump, even plie, it takes the strength we are building in this program. Think about how much work we put on our feet + standing legs…EVERYONE needs to work on this strength

How long is the program?

This program is go at your own pace. You can watch videos + do workouts at the pace that works for your life.

I have an injury, is this program for me?

Many dancers find this program after spraining an ankle or suffering from Bunion pain. Once you are cleared to return to dance from your PT or doctor, this program is perfect. A LOT of the dancers I see are returning to dance after injury. There tends to be a missing information + strength gap from finishing PT, to returning to your high level classes. This helps fill that gap. Please feel free to reach out with specific questions about your injury.

 

Testimonials

“I’ve been doing the exercises in the pointe program and seeing so much more strength in my feet and ankles! And I’m only on the second level!”

“I started this program about a month ago, doing 15-20 minutes of the exercises, 4-5 days a week and can already feel the difference in my alignment, pointe strength, and stability on and off pointe!”

“I particularly notice a difference in my ability hold a balance and sustain a Relevé. I trust Allie’s methods to get me where I want to be.”

“I felt the difference in my ballet class already after a week and half – my rélevé was higher, stronger and more stable. Sous-sus + balances on one leg were noticeably easier. My arches look higher. This course is absolutely worth the price if you want to go en pointe or improve your pointe work.” 

I learned so much! All the cues were really helpful and I was able to apply the learnings in my local dance classes.”

It has been fantastic, not just strengthening my feet and ankles (which I definitely have), but also learning so much about correct alignment. The exercises are great too, they’re explained in such detail and they’re really manageable to do throughout the day.”
