What grade in ballet do you need blocks?
I am on pointes and I am twelve. I'm in grade 5 ballet. But i do an extra class called Inter Foundation, which helped us to get enough strength to go on pointe in Grade 4. So you should probably wait until either your teacher says or until you are in Grade 5/6
What do you have to have in order to be on pointe in ballet?
Firstly, most dance schools demand that you're at least 13 years old, because it's important the bones in your foot are developed before you put them under the strain of being 'en pointe'. Secondly, you need pointe shoes. These are satin ballet shoes with ribbons, that have a wooden block at the end, and a flattened tip, to support your foot en pointe. It's very important to get the right type of shoe for your foot, and you need to go to a reputable ballet shop to get your shoes. Thirdly, you need strength in the metatarsal muscles in your foot, and also good body tension in general, so that it's easier for your foot to support your weight.
