September at GTTP was full of exciting moments! ✨ We held auditions for Rudolph, The Grinch, and The Polar Express, welcomed families for Parent Observation, and worked on our Enchanted Forest lesson plan for our kindergarten, first, and second grade dancers. Take a peek at our September reel dump! ❤️🎄🚂

This side-lying hip activation helps dancers practice moving from parallel to first position and dégagé à la seconde without forcing turnout.

Keep the pelvis still, work within your natural turnout, and return to parallel with control. Focus on initiating the movement from the hip—not twisting from the knee, ankle, or foot.

Try 8 slow repetitions on each side.

Parent Observation Week was such a special time at Get To The Pointe! 💕 We loved welcoming our families into the studio and seeing our dancers light up as they shared what they’ve been learning. Thank you to all the parents who came to watch and cheer them on!

Our dancers are working hard in ballet, tap, jazz, pointe, and contemporary—and we have so much more ahead this season. We’re already looking forward to rehearsals, new dances, and celebrating 10 years of Christmas magic together at our Christmas Review! 🩰✨🎄

Before you turn out, organize your body first. 🩰

These three GTTP exercises help dancers:
✨ Stack + lengthen
✨ Activate their center
✨ Stabilize their side body + hips

Save this for your next training day!

Triple pirouettes on command from two of our elite GTTP dancers! 🩰✨
High-level turns are built through strong technique, body alignment, spotting, strength, and consistent training. So proud of these girls!

One little setup detail that makes a big difference in turnout exercises 💜

If your resistance band is twisted, bunched up, or wrapped on top of itself, it can slip and tangle instead of giving you consistent resistance. We want it flat, tight, and pulling outward from the body.

Save this quick tutorial for your next ballet, pre-pointe, or pointe conditioning workout! 🩰

Junior Pointe is putting in the work! 🩰✨

At GTTP, our pointe training program uses resistance bands to help dancers build the strength, body awareness, and control needed for proper alignment. Every controlled movement and correction supports strong, safe technique throughout their pointe journey. 💪

From Level 1 to Level 6, our dancers are building their petit allegro skills! ✨

From fun across-the-floor phrases with props in our younger classes to more detailed petit allegro combinations in Level 6 ballet, every dancer is learning how to jump with strength, coordination, and control.

Small jumps help build the foundation for big jumps and support every style of dance by teaching dancers how to properly roll through their feet, use their plié, and safely push off and land. 🩰

Little steps, big foundations. 🩰✨

Our Level 1 dancers were working on their chassés yesterday! While this sweet traveling step looks simple, it is building so much more than movement across the floor.

Through dance, even our youngest dancers develop coordination, balance, musicality, directional awareness, spatial awareness, body control, focus, and confidence. Each chassé teaches them to listen, move with purpose, and become more aware of the space and people around them—all while having fun in an encouraging environment.

We know the beginning of the school year is busy, and it is not too late to join the GTTP family! Fall registration will remain open through October 19, giving families time to settle into their routines and find the class that is right for their dancer.

👑 We wrapped up Princess Month with our Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 dancers this week!

Throughout the month, our dancers used tiaras, wands, scarves, and ribbons to help them understand foundational movement—from tall posture and beautiful arms to balance, musicality, pliés, tendus, and more. It may look like princess play, but every activity is helping build real dance technique in a fun, age-appropriate way! 🩰✨

As we move into a new month of training and fun in September, we are still accepting new dancers! Sign up for a trial class here:
