The student must have strong legs and ankles to be ready to go en pointe. To test them, hold a ruler flat on their ankle, then have them point their toes. If their toes dont touch the ruler when they point, they are ready. Also, make sure they are capable of straightening their knees completely. If they go on pointe with bent knees, they may get injured.
