These drop-in sessions will focus on strengthening exercises to build up to pointe work as well as letting those who are ready to progress move onto pointe work. As these sessions will be focusing on strengthening you are more than welcome to join if you are still working on Demi pointe or do not own pointe shoes.
* Please note you will be required to have participated in the
Intermediate ballet class preceding these sessions at 7.35-9.05pm. *
If you have a resistance band (sometimes called theraband) please bring this along to class. If you do not own one it may be something worth investing in if you would like to commit to pointe work in the future!

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.
