No, you really cannot! It is dangerous and you need lots of Ballet experience, and an experienced and talented ballet teacher to teach you. Please do not attempt to teach yourself, even if you have gathered lots of information!

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Can you teach yourself Pointe Work Ballet?

It is possible to teach yourself how to do pointe, but the real reason ballet teachers don't put you on pointe when you want is because it is extremely dangerous to your body especially your ankles. I know several people you went on pointe when they weren't ready and now they can hardy walk let alone dance.To tell if your ankles are strong enough to start pointe work is by an x-rayIf the doctor says it is safe to start on pointe you can teach yourself by videos.GOOD LUCK!!!


Can you teach pointe to yourself?

if you are about to or are teaching yourself pointe work, stop! pointe work is for people with years of ballet training and 1 - 2 years of pre pointe or strengthening classes. like all things to do with ballet, you need to have a trained teacher to guide you through the proses and correct you when you go astray. pointe is dangerous enough as it is so tyring it without a proper teacher is going to be dangerous, recluse and down right stupid! nobody can teach themselves pointe. if they do they will ruin their feet and probably break something along the way. hope i helped!


Is pointe ballet dangerous?

yes point ballet is dangerous cause if you do something wrong in point shoes you can break you ankle !!!!!!!!!!!! Dancing en pointe can be dangerous if you try without the sufficient training. You usually start dancing en pointe after about 5 or 6 years of ballet training (this depends on how many lessons you have per week), and you must be 11 years old or older. When you are under 11 your bones are still growing and you could permanantly damage them. Your pointe shoes need to be carefully fitted, and you must be taught to tie the ribbons correctly, and sew on new ribbons. Your ballet teacher will carefully and slowly teach you to dance on your toes, and you must follow her instructions perfectly. At first you will probably only be allowed to dance en pointe under her careful supervision. If you follow instructions, and don't take risks you will be fine. It is said though that ballet dancers sometimes have problems with their feet (especially ankles and toes) later in life.


Can you really teach pigs to do ballet?

It is a possibility. You would need simple dance moves though.
