No.Your supposed to take Ballet for a couple of years. Pointe requires a lot of strength in the toes, feet, and legs. If you were to just put on pointe shoes and start dancing, you would have the risk of injuring yourself greatly. But if you have ballet experience, then pointe would be okay to try.

Can you start pointe if you have been ballet dancing for four years one class a week not dancing over the summer?
Your teacher should be able to tell you whether or not you have the skill and strength to start pointe. Pointe-work is very difficult on your ankles, feet and legs, so you must be fully developed (ie. though most of puberty) to begin pointe, or else you may seriously injure yourself. The bottom line is, your teacher, if she has any experience at all, should be able to tell you whether or not you are physically ready to begin pointe

When can you go on pointe?
My teacher recommends going on when you start 6th grade. Teachers may vary with when you should go on. But you can always ask. But in any case you should always have experience in dance; and you must have strong ankles. I would recommend starting Pointe when you are in 6th grade. It is the just right age. Reference: I started at that grade. Hope this helps.
