In Grade 5, students needs to have had a minimum of four years dance experience in either Ballet or Jazz. This means they will have the syllabus knowledge of the previous grades, and therefore understand the technicality, terminology and discipline needed. Pointe technique is the part of classical ballet technique that concerns pointe work, in which a ballet dancer supports all body weight on the tips of fully extended feet within pointe shoes. Classes will be assigned after trial session based on ability as a first criterion.
