The En Pointe Performing Arts Studio is coming to Chester.

 Registration for the studio, which opens shortly, is already under way.

 The centrally located studio, located on North Street near Chester Area Middle School, has 1,500 square feet of renovated space.

 Both adults and children can register for a wide range of classes including cheerleading, Zumba, ballet, musical theatre, tap dance and B-boy.

 En Pointe is also introducing the LeBlanc Taekwon-Do and Fitness club. Registration is from September 6 to 10 from 3 to 7 p.m.

 The class is being run by Rob Le-Blanc III Dan ICTF. He has been practicing taekwondo for 20 years and teaching for 10. Mr. LeBlanc, who runs one of the most populated schools in Nova Scotia, represents a new style of martial arts instructor.

 Classes begin September 17.

 There will also be a 10-week L'il Ninja program for children under 10.

 This program has everything a child needs to build confidence and increase strength and co-ordination and, above all, teaches relationship-building skills.

 This program focuses on individuals and families and on relationship building while using a friendly and animated approach to teaching self-defence and bully-proofing.

 The classes run Saturdays from 2 to 4 p.m.
