How many moves are there in the ballet?
There are way to many to count. You have to remember that ballet is as much an art as it is a sport, which makes it so hard. If you were to do just the steps in a row it would be boring and look horrible. So often times teachers make up steps to enhance turn out or work on something that you're not good at and choreographers make up steps to link steps and also to fit the mood of the piece.

How many years of expierience do you need to take pointe and can a beginner take it?
I am not an expert, this is just to give you an idea of what is involved in learning pointe. I believe the minimum age you can learn is about 12 and many would say even older than that. This is because doing pointe before your body is fully developed can do permanent and serious injury. For those old enough, years of training is required to build the appropriate muscle strength and posture. If you began as an adult such as myself, (I am still in my 20's) to dance on pointe, most teachers will tell you that it requires 5 hours or more a week for a number of years to build up the strength required so that you will not hurt yourself.
Every body is different, some people may never be able to dance on pointe and some people may be able to progress to the advanced level more quickly. It depends on the dancer but you must have proper training and a qualified ballet master to teach you.
I like to think no one stands in the way of our dreams but ourselves, so anything is possible!
