Having a career as a ballet dancer is everything you’ve ever wanted and worked for. You love the world of dance so much, you see it as a lifestyle even more than a career.  

In order to reach the potential you know you’re capable of, you’re ready to push yourself to your limits. You’re familiar with hard work, sacrifice and pain, and are willing to endure it to reach your dreams. I’m here to tell you, there’s a better way, and your health, success and fulfillment are my mission.

MY MISSION

hello, i'm susanne

I’m Susanne Puerschel, and my career as a ballet dancer began when I left home at the age of 10 to join an 8 year intensive training school. From starting my professional career at Staatsoper Berlin to dancing solo and principal roles in Charleston and Portland, I had major highlights and really challenging times. Ultimately, I stopped dancing earlier than I would’ve liked, and one thing I know for sure is that my ballet career would’ve been a completely different experience if I’d had a coach. I founded POINTE TO RISE to be the guide, support and encouragement I wish I’d had when I was in the midst of my own ballet career.
