Are demi pointe shoes safe?
Hi, Demi-Pointe shoes are safe as long as they are used correctly! They are not to be used to go on pointe in, demi-pointe shoes are designed to allow budding ballet dancers who are strengthening their ankles to experience the sensation of pointe shoes!
Do you have to be en pointe to be in the summer intensive program at the long beach ballet?
I'm not sure about Long Beach, but generally for summer intensives you do have to be en pointe or going on pointe. New Answer I am currently a year around student at the Long Beach Ballet, and yes for the 6week summer intensive to China you have to be more than an advanced beginner en pointe. For the 3week Long Beach Intensive (I'm doing that one this year) you have to be on pointe or at least start going en pointe in December for your audition. Hoped that helped and please consider the Long Beach Ballet intensive, the teachers are great in every way, the studio is one of the most professional studios I'd say in all of California, and you'd LOVE it, trust me.
How many years of ballet experience should you have before you go on pointe?
Beginning pointe work doesn't always depend on how long you may have been dancing. For example if you are older than say 12 or 13 you may only need 1 or 2 years of ballet training before beginning pointe work. This is because pointe shoes can damage younger feet. However some young students are simply strong enough to hold themselves en pointe. Also it depends on what level of ballet you are. Once you reach pre-elementary then pointe shoes are compulsory if you wish to sit the exam for that grade. In preparation for pre-elementary then often dancers will spend 6 months or so before they reach senior ballet, preparing themselves and breaking in new pointe shoes so that the transition into senior ballet smoother. I hope this helps your ballet.
Im on my second year of ballet how long do i have until i get on pointe?
It all depends on your age and how much progress you've made in the field. Traditionally, young children interested in a career in ballet usually start dancing en pointe after they are over the age of eleven or if they are accepted in one of the ballet academies (acceptance age range varies), at the end of the first year of study or during their second year; therefore in some ballet academies girls may start to take pointe classes when they are as young as ten. The reason that girls do not start when they are younger is because the bones in their feet are still growing and can be permanently damaged; also their foot and leg muscles are not yet strong enough to support them.
What percentage of girls that start ballet get to pointe?
It takes a long time to get to be strong enough for a girl to start pointe. It took me ten years. This past fall was my first year on pointe; i didn't even where my pointe shoes for my recital because i am still not strong enough. it takes time and patience.
Can you go to Boston Ballet School if you only have 5 years experience and are 12 years old?
well, it depends on how good you are. There are many requirement, are you taking at a classical ballet school? how many days a week are you taking ballet? are you on pointe? how long? also, how serious are you about ballet? You have to be strong enough to take many classes a day. I have gone to Boston Ballet SDP for the past two years. I had 4, 5 classes a day, many of them on pointe.
How long should you stay off pointe in ballet after seriously injuring your knee?
At least 3 months, and that is with lots of physical therapy.
What are some good pointe shoes for square feet and my second toe is longer than my big toe?
Hi, I am a ballet dancer and many people have what is known as a "long island toe". It really depends on how good your arch is but i would recommend freeds, mirella, chaccotts, the rubins by Russian pointe, bloch, or capezio.
How long do you need to take ballet to go on pointe?
it is usually at the discretion of the ballet teacher. the usual age is around 12 or when a certain level of exams have been completed. if a dancer starts too early and does not have the necessary strength yet in her legs and feet it could do damage to her feet more than wearing pointe shoes already does.
How long do you have to do ballet before going en pointe?
Usually around 5 years, however it depends when you started. A good teacher will only allow you to go en pointe when your feet are strong enough and have almost finished growing, around 11 or 12. If you go en pointe before then your bones are too soft and will warp. If you only started ballet this year, for example and you are around 13 or 14 you will probably be allowed to go en pointe, but you will have to be guided very carefully by your teacher.
How long should a ten year old be on point in ballet?
A ten year old should not be on pointe. The feet are not developed enough and they could ruin their feet so bad they would no longer be able to do pointe (this does not happen 100% of the time). Just a warning if you 'must' be on pointe you should probably not be doing a lot of it.
