In the United States, even top-tier ballet companies provide only 30–35 weeks of paid work per year. That leaves dancers with months of unpaid time — a gap that threatens their financial stability, physical health, and long-term careers.<p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;margin:0px;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">Pointeworks was created to change that. We exist to provide paid, professional opportunities during the crucial off-season — a time when most dancers are left without work. By commissioning new choreography, presenting world-class performances, and fostering a collaborative creative environment, Pointeworks fills a critical gap in the ballet world.<hr /><p style="font-weight:bold;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">What Makes Pointeworks Special<p style="font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;margin:0px;line-height:1.5;box-sizing:inherit;max-width:100%">✨ We sustain dancers’ careers.
