When is it safe for a girl to dance in pointe ballet shoes?
You should only dance on pointe when you have an experienced dance instructor conform that you are ready. My dance instructor knows someone who went on pointe too early and was consequently not able to have children.
Who was the first person to dance on pointe?
Most people believe the first person to dance on pointe was Marie Taglioli, but there is a little evidence that someone could have danced on pointe before her.
When can you start pointe?
You can start pointe when your dance teacher thinks your feet are strong enough ;)
How many ballet grades are there and which grade do you normally start pointe work?
Acutally - it depends on where you go. If you dance with BTDA for example, it goes to grade 5, then intermediate and up. If, like myself, you dance with the royal ballet school, it goes to grade 8. pointe work does not start at a specific grade. I dance with the North Wales School of Dance and really, the pointe work strats around grade 5. But the ballet teachers will only let you start if they think that you are ready (ankles are strong, point is good) You really have to work hard and pointe is quite dangerous, you can brake your ankles.

Yes, although pointe is not as common as demi-pointe for males. I have seen a few males in pointe shoes (white, not pink), but I think most males prefer demi-pointe.

What happens if you go on pointe without being told to?
hey! if you go en pointe without being told to by a ballet instructor or/and a dance phsyiotherapist you will most likely injure yourself. going en pointe can be a wonderful or horrible experience. if you take the time to strengthen your legs, ankles, feet and core then you will get en pointe and stay en pointe without injury's. if you go en pointe just because it looks cool and you haven't actually made yourself ready then you could break an ankle, break a toe, damage your knees and completely ruin your feet and dance Carrier for life. you cant replace broken feet. if you want to get en pointe then talk to your dance teacher about pre pointe and maybe you and her can arrange something XD hope i helped!
This will be my 6th year of dance and im 11. my teachers are talking to me about prepointe but dont know if im done growing so i dont stunt my growth. how many years of pre pointe do you normallytake?
I did not take any prepointe. At my ballet school people take it for about 1 year, they only put you on pointe if you are ready at my school. Pre pointe does not stun your growth.
