Join Maddie for a 1.5hr Body Conditioning & Pointe workshop!

The session will start with 30-45 mins of body conditioning and feet exercises followed by some pointe work at the barre and centre. The class will be very simple and focused on technique and strength rather than complex exercises.

*Those working on Demi pointe are also welcome to join the session but you will need an assessment from Maddie before moving onto pointe shoes*

If you have any of the following items please bring them along:

  • Comfortable warm up clothes (some exercises may be sitting on the floor / static so you will need to stay warm during these parts of the class)
  • Flat ballet shoes
  • Pointe shoes (with ribbons and elastics already prepared)
  • Toe pads / Whatever foot protection you usually wear
  • Plasters / Toe tape
  • Resistance band

If you could also wear something form fitting so that posture and lines can be seen by Maddie that would be great!

This class is in studio 1. Please make your way straight to Mill 6 on arrival.

Studio 1 is located in Mill 6, 1st Floor, next to reception.

Tutor Bio Maddie's journey in ballet began at the age of three. At eight, she joined the Royal Ballet Junior Associates, and by eleven, she was training at Elmhurst Ballet School. After eight formative years there, she continued her studies at Northern Ballet, performing with the company in the corps de ballet. Her nine-year professional career included dancing with English National Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Vienna Festival Ballet, Ballet Cymru, and New English Ballet Theatre. She also freelanced in London, performing at various events and in films. Among the many ballets Maddie has danced, Swan Lake holds a special place in her heart. Later in her career, she also discovered a passion for contemporary dance, with these productions standing out as some of her personal highlights. Now having taken a step back from performing, Maddie is dedicated to teaching ballet. She works with students of all ages, focusing on strong technique, artistry, expression, and elegant port de bras. Maddie aims to share the joy and dedication that defined her own ballet journey, helping others explore their passion for dance.
