Educational Approach This programme differs significantly from traditional after school dance classes. Training is non syllabus based and focuses on developing strong technical foundations to a pre vocational standard. Class sizes are kept small to allow for individual attention. Students receive bespoke feedback, regular assessments, and detailed progress reports. Teaching is responsive to the specific needs and abilities of the students attending. In addition to practical training, students undertake contextual studies including dance history, anatomy, and repertoire studies. All folders and notebooks are provided as part of the programme. Pathways and Qualifications En Pointe is actively developing recognised qualifications and progression opportunities within the programme, including those offered by: Royal Academy of Dance The Royal Ballet School Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing The programme also aims to include GCSE Dance for students aged 14 to 16 as part of the training pathway.
