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.

Should you only buy your child pointe shoes if they know how to use them?
They should be involved in ballet classes, and the teacher or instructor is the one to tell your child that she is ready for pointe. If she is taking ballet classes, she will learn how to dance in them overtime, but if she doesn't have them yet or has never worn them, of course she won't know how to dance in them.

Do by pre-ballet you mean pre-pointe? Because Pre-Pointe is the lesson that is provided to Pointe ballet dancers that are not yet ready to wear or perform in pointe shoes.

Basically, pre-pointe is the class that readies your feet and legs for the strength and skill needed to perform in Pointe Shoes.
