Frequently Asked Questions


What if I only have one student who is ready for pointe? 

No trouble! Please feel free to email via the enquiry form and we can discuss your specific needs.

How far will you travel?

I will happily consider travel to any location Australia- wide. My registration is with AHPRA (Allied Health Practitioners Registration Agency) and I hold indemnity insurance as part of my membership with the Australian Physiotherapy Association. Please note that studios located further than 80km from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia will attract a travel fee. If you require a service overseas, please send me an email and we can discuss the most suitable solution.

What do I need to wear for my Pre-Pointe Assessment?

Some students wear their ballet leotard and tights, whilst some wear shorts and T-Shirt. We work barefoot, so no shoes are required. You are not required to have pointe shoes for your pre-pointe assessment.

Can my teacher watch my assessment?

With permission from you as a student and your parents, your teacher may watch the assessment.

Can my students make a claim through private health insurance for their assessments?

Yes. You will be provided with a receipt following your assessment which can be submitted to private health insurance companies (in Australia). 

What will I have at the end of my assessment?

You will have your own exercise program to follow either to complement your starting pointe or helping you achieve the level of strength and technical ability to commence pointe. 

What if I am not ready to start pointe work at the time of my assessment?

You will be given exercises to help you reach this goal and clear steps as to how to achieve it. Each student will be made aware of their main focus after the assessment.  

Do you perform Skype consultations?

Yes. If following up your assessment in person is too challenging, we can Skype. There are no private health insurance rebates for Skype consultations (telehealth) in Australia. Please send through an email enquiry.

I am an Australian dancer working/ training overseas and I need physio help! Can we Skype?

Absolutely. Please complete the email form and include the best time of day for you to have a consultation.

Some of my students need Tertiary Dance Assessments for university-based dance courses. Do you do these?

Yes, of course. Please complete the email form and mention this and we can cater to suit your needs.
