The Pointe Academy of Ballet & Contemporary Dance

The "no recital" school for seriously fun ballet instruction

This non-profit dance studio offers 30 classes per week for dancers age 3 through Senior Citizen. The teachers are all former professional ballet dancers and class sizes are kept small for individual attention and a "family" feel. They know the value of a dance education that stresses how the discipline of dance is fun because you know you worked hard to get better. Students and teachers celebrate your suceesses as you accomplish them. A performing group of the top dancers tours the state performing for public schools and churches and also offers public performances in the Des Moines area of family friendly dance incorporating both the best of Classical Ballet and new works by local and internationally recognized guest choreographers to prepare young people for professional ballet careers.
