Pointe (magazine)


Pointe is an international magazine aimed toward ballet dancers and students. Pointe covers international news on company debuts, competition results, and rising stars. Pointe also offers reviews, company profiles, a calendar of events, ballet oriented shopping guides as well as guides for ballet programs, auditions, and higher education. The website offers a blog and an online store with the option to purchase back issues. Virginia Johnson, the artistic director of Dance Theatre of Harlem, was formerly Pointe's editor-in-chief from its creation until 2009.
Macfadden Performing Arts Media acquired Pointe with the purchase of Lifestyle Media, Inc. in 2006. Macfadden's dance magazines were sold to Frederic M. Seegal, an investment banker with the Peter J. Solomon Company, in 2016.
