THE CLASSES

Pointe Works offers classes in Classical Ballet, Character Dance and Contemporary Dance.

Our classes are organised into academic school years. Children will start ballet in the September of their Pre-School year i.e. a year before they start school, with an absolute minimum age is 3. The children move up a class in the September of each year with maximum class sizes of 12.  

Since starting ballet classes at Pointe Works, Molly’s confidence has improved significantly, and she loves showing off her new skills to family and friends!
