Yes!
A ballet teacher usually decides when to put his/her students on point when he/she sees that the girls' ankles are sturdy. I was 9 or 10 when I got my first pair, but some teachers like to keep their kids on flat (no pointe shoes) for a couple more years. If you are a ballet teacher, keep your students doing relevés on flat for a while to build sturdy ankles.
it depends on what type of shoes you want. Point shoes usually cost around €45 for a new pair in a shop but you can get them cheaper from a ballet teacher who buy's them herself.
It is up to your teacher to decide, and you must be techinically strong. Good Luck, I hope you get there! :)

Level 5 in ballet is a advanced level you can get stronger in. In ballet 1 you learn the basics. In ballet 2 you learn more steps but still not to advanced. In ballet 3 you learn some more steps and get a little more advanced. In ballet 4 you get stronger and more steps and at that point your feet get stronger and when your feet are strong enough your teacher decides if you go up on pointe or not yet. After 3 or 4 years in ballet 4 you go to ballet 5. ballet 5 is a very advanced class and is the highest level you can get to!
I think that male ballet dancers CAN go on point. I know that females can. So why not men?
You have to sew it on.

well point shoes are ballet shoes that have a hard bit around the toes that allow you to go up on the tips of your toes without hurting them!!!
You need the grace and point of ballet to be able to become a successful figure skater!!
