The Strong Pointe Advanced Plan
outline
Welcome to The Strong Pointe Advanced Plan
The Advanced level of the Strong Pointe Plan, we focus on building a strong foundation through targeted feet exercises to develop the intrinsic muscles of the feet. This includes simple but effective exercises that activate and strengthen the arches and toes, laying the groundwork for future pointe work.At the barre, you will learn basic drills that train the muscles of the lower legs, improving stability and preparing you for more advanced work. With this plan you’ll eliminate decision paralysis, ensuring a clear path toward your goals through consistent practice. Let’s get going and get strong on pointe.
Plan Breakdown
Take a look at the plan breakdown below and get started today!
Week 1 Classes

Today, we will do an entire barre together on pointe. Barre on pointe is much more challenging than you expect. Fondu, in particular, is a challenge. Focus on the lift in the body, lifting out of the legs, allowing your core to guide you.

We are back with Aimee once again. Now, I am working on finding balance quickly, jumping from one foot to another and finding stability. When wearing pointe shoes, it’s key to keep training the stability in the ankles. Pointe shoes are an unstable service being slightly raised off the ground. The stronger we are the better.
