Pointe work problems aren’t always about strength. They’re often about where the pressure goes. Did you know the highest arch of the foot isn’t in the center? It aligns with the first and second toes, yet most students instinctively press through the middle or outer edge. That slight misplacement leads to rolled ankles, weak pointe work, and long-term injury risks. As teachers, we need to rewire muscle memory and reframe how we talk about “pointing the foot.” | Runqiao Du Ballet Coaching

First pointe work lesson complete! I can’t believe these little dancers are now en pointe – they achieved so much in their first lesson and are already showing so much strength, control and promise. Keep up the great work girls - you're going to catch up with the older girls in no time! @spotlight_stageschool #pointework #pointeshoes #balletlesson #childdancers #childballerinas #firstpointeshoes #firstpointelesson #beginnerpointe #promisingdancers #danceschool #stageschool #Birmingham #Friday |
