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.

This will be my 6th year of dance and im 11. my teachers are talking to me about prepointe but dont know if im done growing so i dont stunt my growth. how many years of pre pointe do you normallytake?
I did not take any prepointe. At my ballet school people take it for about 1 year, they only put you on pointe if you are ready at my school. Pre pointe does not stun your growth.

Can you do pointe with demi pointe shoes?
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!
