Preparation for Pointe CPD Webinar

This interactive, practical 1-hour workshop is for teachers who are progressing students onto working en pointe. Teachers will learn how to appropriately teach exercises in preparation for pointe with a series of progressions from a physiotherapists’ perspective.

Aim

The aims of this webinar are to:

• provide teachers an understanding of what is required biomechanically of a body to work en pointe and how this impacts the student,
• use an interactive format to explore the concept of pre-pointe preparation as a whole body,
• demonstrate and teach a series of exercises targeting the core, thoracic area, adductors, gluteals and lower leg, and
• enable teachers to gain practical experience of each exercise to utilise with their students in class.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this webinar, you will:

• have an increased understanding of the connection between pointe work and major muscle groups and myofascial chains,
• be able to demonstrate a sequence of exercises to activate the core, lower leg and gluteals,
• be able to layer these exercises into your regular classes, and
• understand the timeframes around improvement after the introduction to these exercises.
