When can you get pointe shoes?
When your teacher says your ready
How do they make colored pointe shoes?
They usually either dye the satin from the beginning or, in some professional companies, the pointe master or mistress will know how to dye them as ready made pointe shoes. If you use Grishko's, you can order them colored.
Do you go on pointe shoes in pre-pointe?
It depends... i did but i know some schools don't let you until after pre-point. Generally you are in pre-pointe shoes which are similar but not the same. Even if you are allowed in pointe shoes you shouldn't try them unless you think you are really ready or you could do yourslef some serious damage.
What is pre ballet?
Do by pre-ballet you mean pre-pointe? Because Pre-Pointe is the lesson that is provided to Pointe ballet dancers that are not yet ready to wear or perform in pointe shoes. Commonly the class is the same if not similar to regular pointe class, the only difference is that the dancer wears regular ballet shoes and performs on demi pointe. Basically, pre-pointe is the class that readies your feet and legs for the strength and skill needed to perform in Pointe Shoes.
What is a demi-pointe?
Demi Pointe is a releve in flat shoes (Not Pointe Shoes). A releve is when you lift your heels and all that you are standing on is the balls of your feet and the bottoms of your toes. Hope that helps! :]
