Here’s the pointe

You can’t go wrong with Janice. She has always been one of my favorite. The things she discussed in the lecture is some of the most important things you can teach a student going on pointe and is left out in the rush a lot of times. Great lecture.

Great Lecture from the amazing Janice Barringer!

When in doubt Janice takes away all your fears! This is a helpful 20 minute lecture for putting dancers on pointe. Could even be used for a Pre-pointe class to understand what they are working towards to be on pointe.
