Just as in flamenco a special type of footwear is used for the “taconeo” (foot tapping), in the case of ballet a type of special shoes called “puntas”, are worn. Ballet dancers begin to wear them once they have sufficient muscular strength in their feet and calves to be able to maintain their own weight on the tip of the foot.

Wearing the puntas, who have a hard tip and are tied to the leg with ribbons, dancers are able to perform choreographies such as “Swan Lake”, “Sleeping Beauty” or the “Nutcracker”, in which dancers perform many pirouettes and jumps on their tips.

At Centro El Lucero we offer ballet classes, with groups for both children and adults and levels from beginner to advanced. In them we will teach you the technique of classical dance, the five basic positions of the ballet and other movements such as pliés (demi-pliés and grand-pliés) or relevés. You will also be able to improve your coordination, your balance, your elasticity and your muscles while having fun dancing ballet.
