Should you only buy your child pointe shoes if they know how to use them?

They should be involved in ballet classes, and the teacher or instructor is the one to tell your child that she is ready for pointe. If she is taking ballet classes, she will learn how to dance in them overtime, but if she doesn't have them yet or has never worn them, of course she won't know how to dance in them.

How many years of ballet should i take before pointe i have strong ankles and leg muscles but im only 10 im thinking of taking ballet this year and starting pointe next so that im 11 can i do that?

The factor of getting Pointe shoes really depends on (1) your ability level and (2) your dance studio & dance teacher. 1. Your ability level: Most good ballet studios allow girls to receive their Pointe shoes at age 12 or 13. If the dancer is extremely talented, she might receive them earlier, and if the dancer isn't as advanced as she should be, she might have to wait a couple of years. You should at least be at an Intermediate-Advanced or Advanced level. 2. Your dance studio & dance teacher:You must be very careful when choosing what dance studio and dance teacher to get Pointe shoes from. Some teachers will let girls go on Pointe when they are 11 or 12, regardless of how good or bad they are at ballet. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! You could injure yourself for life. Some teachers are very strict and may make you wait until you are 14, but at least you know you are 100% ready when you get pointe shoes!


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 do you get on pre pointe?

The answer varies by dance school and instructor, but the overall age answer is the same: age doesn't matter. It depends on when you started dance, how often you dance and what level you've reached. You should check with your instructor if you aren't sure how close you are to being ready. Things that are important: *Toe strength *Ankle strength *Calf strength *A good background of ballet There are special pre-pointe exercises that you'll begin when your body is ready and when you've had enough years to dance to start preparing for pointe. A good dance instructor will know a) when you're ready and b) what to tell you to begin.
