It requires prior experience on pointe and that you are comfortable with balancing en pointe as well as turns themselves. You will learn to combine the two, use the right muscles to propel yourself into your turn and keep your hips and shoulders in line. Depending on the turn you'll learn different techniques for making sure you rise completely onto your toes and don't turn in a half-pointe that will hurt your feet or bend your knees.

What happens if you go on pointe without being told to?
hey! if you go en pointe without being told to by a ballet instructor or/and a dance phsyiotherapist you will most likely injure yourself. going en pointe can be a wonderful or horrible experience. if you take the time to strengthen your legs, ankles, feet and core then you will get en pointe and stay en pointe without injury's. if you go en pointe just because it looks cool and you haven't actually made yourself ready then you could break an ankle, break a toe, damage your knees and completely ruin your feet and dance Carrier for life. you cant replace broken feet. if you want to get en pointe then talk to your dance teacher about pre pointe and maybe you and her can arrange something XD hope i helped!
