As dancers progress, they develop not only their technical abilities but also confidence, self-esteem, and character—essential qualities for success in both ballet and life.
Pointe & Pre-Pointe Training
We take a meticulous, individualized approach to pointe training. Dancers transition to pointe only after an expert evaluation of their technique and physical readiness to ensure safety and long-term success. At Cuizon’s, student health and injury prevention are top priorities.
Before transitioning to pointe, students will work on pre-pointe exercises to build the necessary strength and alignment. All pointe plans are personalized and reviewed with parents or guardians. Students preparing for pointe are welcome to join pointe classes, where they’ll develop their skills safely and effectively. Call today to schedule a consultation and start your journey to pointe!
Floor Barre
Unlock your full potential with Floor Barre, a secret weapon for any dancer seeking rapid improvement! Inspired by Zena Rommett’s methods and reimagined by Lisa, this class helps dancers strengthen, lengthen, and refine the supportive muscles often overlooked in traditional ballet training. Benefits include improved turnout, extensions, joint mobility, and injury prevention. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced dancer, Floor Barre will take your training to the next level. Strongly recommended for all students!
Stretch Class
Flexibility is the foundation of every dancer’s success. Lisa’s Stretch Class is designed to deepen the mind-body connection while enhancing muscle flexibility and joint mobility. Through a series of safe, guided stretches, dancers will release tension, reduce stress, and improve their overall range of motion and extensions. This class is essential for boosting performance, preventing injuries, and achieving mental clarity. Join us to feel rejuvenated and ready to dance at your best!
