Pointe takes a toll on your body. Trust me, I know. It is important that the foot is completely developed before starting in order to prevent later problems. This usually happens around age 11 or 12. You also need to already have several years of Ballet training under your belt continue taking regular ballet technique classes. You should also make sure you are ready, both physically and mentally. Take a good long look at yourself and determine if you a ready to move forward. It is a bad idea to begin pointe simply because others are. It is a personal thing. You want to avoid injury later in life. Hope this helps and good luck!
nothing in mind??????????????????????????????????
"En pointe" refers to dancing in pointe shoes. Non-pointe ballet shoes are demi-pointe shoes, and the dancing is "en demi-pointe".

There isn't a definition of pointe shoe because it is an English word. The real word that is french for "pointe shoe" is sur la pointe which means on top of pointe.

It is physically possible...BUT... do not do it. It can break toes, feet, and possibly mess up tendens and muscles in the process. It also hurts. If you want to go onto pointe then you need to buy a real pair of pointe shoes. They are usually cheaper online. NO! DO NOT TRY THIS! This can break your feet. Demi pointe shoes are for demi pointe. Pointe shoes are for pointe. ANSWER 2 Hi, Demi-pointe shoes are used so that you can experience the sensations of pointe shoes without going on pointe. THEY ARE NOT FOR GOING ON POINTE IN! If you are only wearing demi-pointe shoes then your instructor obviously does not feel you ankles are strong enough for pointe work yet. If you do this then you face the chance of never being able to go on pointe because you have damaged you feet. So stick to demi pointe shoes for demi pointe and wait a while until your ankles are strong enough to go on pointe! PS you should never go on pointe before you are 12 as research has shown that the joints etc. in your feet have not fully developed!

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.
