Pointe work and ballet repertoire for those going further.
A supplementary class for intermediate-level dancers. Thursday evening, one hour. ABT-certified teaching. €112 per semester.
Classical repertoire, on pointe.
Working on pointe technique and classical variations, under ABT-certified guidance. For dancers who take ballet seriously and are ready for the next level.
© Ndigo · Studio 1 The class you've been waiting for if you take ballet seriously.
You already take ballet at Ndigo or elsewhere, and you feel ready for more. Working on pointe, learning classical variations, digging deeper into the technical detail.
Pointes & Repertoire is that next step. Our teacher is ABT-certified and builds each term around a variation from the classical repertoire, alongside a parallel track on pointe technique. Places are deliberately limited.
Not sure whether your level is the right fit? Just ask.
"Our daughter danced at Ndigo for many years and is now studying at the professional dance programme at the Royal Ballet School in Antwerp. We notice every day how much she has carried with her from her time with you."
Emmeline Ramant , parent of OdileSix layers that deepen your ballet training.
This is not a standalone class, but a supplement to your existing ballet training. Everything you learn here strengthens your technique in the regular ballet class and vice versa.
Pointe work that holds
Ankles, feet, placement — everything needed to stand safely and strongly on pointe. Built up gradually, never rushed.
Variations that lift your level
Excerpts from Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Giselle. One variation per term, worked through in depth.
Personal corrections in a small group
Fewer dancers, more attention. Questions get answered and corrections carry through from week to week.
Strong ankles and feet, no injuries
Pointe work demands preparation. We invest in strength and stability so your daughter can stand safely on pointe for years to come.
The stories behind the classics
Who was Giselle? Why does Odile dance differently from Odette? The story gives the movement meaning and the dancer purpose.
Preparation for pre-professional
Several former students have gone on to the Royal Ballet School Antwerp and Fontys. This class lays that foundation.
60 minutes, three blocks.
Every class is built in three phases: warm-up and pointe technique, repertoire study, and refinement. The intensity is high, the group is small, the focus is sharp.
Barre & pointe warm-up
Relevés, échappés, sous-sus — ankles and feet warmed up for pointe work. First on demi-pointe, then full pointe.
Pointe technique in the centre
Piqués, bourrées, pirouettes on pointe. Strength, balance and individual corrections.
Repertoire study
The term's variation, broken down, repeated, refined. The teacher puts each piece in context: story, style, era.
Révérence & discussion
Closing with a révérence. Time for questions, progress feedback and pointers for home practice.
One class a week, by invitation.
€112 / sem · From the 3rd class, €10 off each additional class

Questions parents and dancers often ask.
Is this class suitable if my daughter has never been on pointe?
Yes, provided she has the right ballet foundation. The teacher starts with the fundamentals and builds up gradually. Safety always comes first.
Does she already need to be taking ballet at Ndigo?
Not necessarily. Dancers from other schools are welcome, provided their technical level is sufficient. We assess that together.
What pointe shoes does she need?
Properly broken-in pointe shoes that suit her foot type. The teacher advises on brand and fit. Demi-pointes can also work at the start.
How many places are there per group?
A maximum of 12 dancers, so the teacher can guide each one individually.
Can she combine this class with the regular ballet class?
Absolutely — that is the idea. Pointes & Repertoire supplements the regular ballet class; it does not replace it.
Classical ballet
The foundation of everything. Technique, posture and musicality, from Tinies to Adults.
Contemporary dance
Improvisation, composition and physical daring, with technique as the base.
Jazz dance
Energetic, musical, broad vocabulary — a perfect complement to ballet.
