in the beginning, yes, your feet will hurt, but once you have broken in your pointe shoes they will start feeling like a second skin, and you will be able to practice and do pointe exercises more fluently and more easily.

Does dancing in point shoes hurt?
Dancing on pointe all depends on how long you have been dancing and how strong you are. You should have dance experience in flat shoe ballet before doing pointe and NEVER TRY POINTE WITHOUT LESSONS, THIS CAN RUIN YOUR FEET! Be sure you are 11 years or older before you begin, your ankles will be developed by then. Do not try anything that really hurts and never do anything you don't know how to do without your instructor. Wear some kind of toe protector when you are dancing on pointe like a gel pad. Good luck and enjoy your dancing! DOES DANCING IN POINTE SHOES HURT YOUR FEET? For me, it didn't hurt, and still doesn't too bad. For everyone in my class, it hurt, and their feet bleed. It just depends.
