Excess strain and pressures on the feet during dancing make them particularly susceptible to problems. Particularly pointe ballerinas whom place their entire body weight upon the big toe joint. For children who are ready to take the next step and move on to block pointe ballet we provide pre-pointe ballet assessments to determine if the feet, and body are ready for this physically demanding task. The structure of children's bones are different to those of an adults and it is important that they have the necessary strength, flexibility required.
