What is The Pointe? The Pointe is a pre-professional conservatory that is designed to propel highly motivated and talented students towards excellence and diversity. It is a highly structured and disciplined 8 year program that emphasizes technique, artistry, versatility, and performance. The Pointe’s program is designed to prepare dancers and performers for professional careers in a positive structured environment. The central philosophy of The Pointe is to demand the best of each student whether he or she plans to perform professionally or not. Our goal is to have each student understand the powerful impact and influence the performing arts can have in their lives by teaching them coordination, technique, self-expression and responsibility that will enhance self- discipline, self-esteem and spiritual well-being.
