In this class, you’ll learn the pointe technique of classical ballet, strengthen your ankles, and practice rising onto your toes and balancing at the barre.
This course is suitable for dancers who are already familiar with practicing in pointe shoes. You’ll need pointe shoes to participate in the course.
If you’d like to start training with pointe shoes, you can come to the first class of the course by paying a one-time fee to try it out before buying the shoes. During the trial class, you’ll work with the instructor to assess whether you’re ready to start training with pointe shoes.

Ida is a ballet instructor who is attentive and gentle and loves physical expression. Ida completed the comprehensive dance curriculum of the Basic Education in the Arts program at the Jyväskylä Dance Academy from 2004 to 2013, majoring in classical ballet and minoring in contemporary dance, jazz dance, and repertoire. She has also participated in numerous dance productions as both a dancer and a choreographer.
For Ida, dance means diving into her own body and, through that, connecting with the shared space. She considers the most important element of a dance class to be the focus on being in the same place and time: the momentary synchronization of bodies and the awareness of a shared physical experience. Through her teaching, Ida wants to help dancers experience their bodies as powerful and radiant.
