We love when a dancer works hard enough to be aske

We love when a dancer works hard enough to be asked to start pointe. Congratulations, as it is a significant achievement and not easy to get. (Or should not be) Pointe work at David Matthew Studios is by invitation only. The dancer must take a minimum of 2/3 ballet classes a week for two years. Must be appropriate age. Have a clean, correct double pirouette from a large fourth on both sides, and splits on both sides. #ballerina #pointework #pointeshoes #dancer #summerclasses #summerdance #summerdancecamp #summerdanceintensive

Congratulations to DMS dancers! You were stunning this weekend. We placed first overall in almost every category we were in.

(That’s almost a perfect score) A full list of the many accomplishments and awards will be out soon. What a wonderful way to finish the season! Can’t wait for next year. A giant thank you to our understudies Lilly, @maren.lowry, and @cschweitzer884 as they were simply fabulous! We would not have been able to perform without them. ❤️ Lastly, thank you to @energyndc for a opportunity to perform and show our love and dedication to dance! #ballet #dancecompany #dancecompetition #energydance #ada #grandrapids #egr #summerdance #summerdancecamp #dancer #danceclass

Congratulations to the beautiful and tremendously

Congratulations to the beautiful and tremendously hard working Mia as she just was placed on pointe! This significant milestone is a impressive achievement as DMS has strict rules to get to this level. Mia has nailed all three main requirements which are: clean, placed double pirouette on both right and left sides, placed splits on equal sides and a minimum of two to three ballet classes a week for 2 years. Mia has only been at the school one year but takes technical classes five days a week. These rules play a important part on making sure our dancers are strong enough to not injure themselves and have a hard work ethic that deserves such a honor. Make sure to say CONGRATULATIONS when you see her! #ballet #pointe #newpointeshoes #dancer #ballerina #hardworkpaysoffs #adadance #lowelldance #grandrapidsballet #grandrapidsdance #foresthillsdance #ada #foresthills
