Founded by Michael Weiskopf and first published in 2000, Pointe, focuses on an audience of aspiring and professional dancers. Virginia Johnson, a founding member of Dance Theatre of Harlem and principal dancer with that company for 28 years, was the founding editor of Pointe.[2] She led the magazine until 2009, after which she rejoined Dance Theatre of Harlem as artistic director. Hannah Rubin was Pointe’s editor from 2009–14. Amy Brandt, a former professional dancer, has been Pointe’s editor in chief since 2014; she was previously an associate editor for Dance Teacher and Dance Magazine and has written Pointe’s “Ask Amy” column since 2009.[3] Joanna Harp, part of the founding team of Pointe, is Dance Media’s current president[4].
Macfadden Performing Arts Media acquired Pointe and its parent company, Lifestyle Media, Inc in 2006. The magazine was subsequently sold to Frederic M. Seegal, an investment banker with Peter J. Solomon Company, in 2016. Pointe (as part of Dance Media) was acquired by Hollywood.com[5] in January 2023.
