Dancing on pointe stems from the romantic desire to overcome gravity. Developing strength and balance needed to seemingly weightless to dance is central to this course.
For this course you need at least three years recent classical ballet experience. If you do not have pointes, buy them with Cily after the first lesson. It is important to follow a regular ballet course 1x per week next to the spitzen lesson. You can do this at Usva, or at an other ballet school.
Cily’s approach is process-oriented: it is not about an end result, but about the road to it. Musicality, use of space, coordination and the alternation of tension and relaxation is central to the lessons.
In this course all exercises are explained in Dutch and in English. This course starts on Tuesday 2 February 2027 at 18.15 and will be 15 weeks in a row on the same day and time. The course will take place in the Big Dance Studio in Usva.
Registration opens on Monday December 14th at 12.00 pm.
