Can you go on pointe if you took ballet from age 3-10 and are now 14 but have stopped taking classes?
You can, but you definitely should not try it unless you are taking class with an experienced ballet teacher who says you are strong enough to dance on pointe
How do you learn to go on pointe in ballet?
Well it's a really big thing and you have to do ballet for a long time to be ready to gon onto pointe
Am I ready for en pointe dancing if you have only danced ballet for 2 years but practices every day for an hour and is fexiable age 13 and has strong ankles?
Unfortunately, not. I am 12 and have danced ballet since I was 2, and I dance all the time, but I am still not ready to go on pointe. I will be going on pointe soon, but until then I am working on the strength of my ankles. 2 years dance experience sadly, isn't enough. I was very impatient when I was growing up, wanting to go on pointe, and I nearly gave up ballet. But don't give up ballet just because you aren't ready for pointe shoes, as ballet flats are still as good. If you are really serious about ballet, and you want to go on pointe in the next two/three years, tell your dance teacher that you are keen to push on and explain to her/him that you will work hard to progress. I wish you all the best with your ballet.
Can you go en pointe at 12?
You could but if your ballet teacher has instructed you to. You have to at least practice ballet 3 times a week for a certain amount of years so that you will be strong enough to go on pointe.
How old do you have to be in ballet to have pointe shoes?
The age that you start on pointe differs depending where you do ballet. Some schools even get girls as young as seven to go on pointe. Though I do not entirely agree with this as their legs are not developed or strong enough yet. It also can take up to 6 or so months once you get your pointe shoes (or even before) to complete training exercises to make sure you are ready and capable enough to go on pointe! It really all depends on a. how strong your legs are and b. when your teacher says she wants you to go on pointe! :D p.s. I started pointe at 11 :)
What does the ballet word prepointe mean?
The level of ballet class that you take before you are ready to go on full pointe.
What is it called when people go on their toes in ballet?

Not traditionally. Some groups do for entertainment, not in classical ballet.

A person can go to a number of different stores to buy ballet pointe shoes. Chain stores like Walmart always have a few, or they can be purchased from any dance studio.
