In Ballet it would be called "standing on the ball of the foot." this is all the toes and the pad of the foot still in contact with the floor. However if you were to stand right on the end of your toes, this is with only the ends of your toes suporting your weight this would be called "en pointe" (on point) of course you are not advised to do this unless you have the correct training and special shoes.
