     Pointe work is an essential component of ballet; it is also important in hiplet, but here pointe work has a different, more grounded effect. Dancers master movements like the hiplet strut — walking on pointe with hips that sway from side to side — or bend their knees until their buttocks nearly brush the floor while hopping on pointe and swishing their arms back and forth. Nia Lyons, an 18-year-old hiplet dancer, calls this the duck walk.
