Answer:

It's a good idea to ask you teacher, as he or she has lots of experience in the area. Your feet and ankles need to be strong enough to support you, and a number of factors - such as how long you have been doing Ballet for - will affect how long it takes for you begin pointe work.

Answer:

Although there is no age limit, 12 is around a good age. This is because you must wait for your feet to stop growing so you do not damage them. 12 really is the earliest they should be given, but some studios give them as early as 8.

Answer: I'm 11 and I'm on pointe. There isn't really an age limit! Some teachers put you on as soon as you are strong enough to, others make you wait until you are a certain standard. If you do RAD you go on pointe in intermediate foundation onwards (I'm in intermediate foundation). With other ballet styles it is in a grade.
