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!


How old do you have to be to wear Pointe Shoes?

age is not really a factor when it comes to going on pointe. it is in the strength of the dancer but because the foot and body do not stop developing until late teens, most proper dance instructors will not allow a child to go on pointe until the age of 11.


What do you do if you have a mean ballet teacher?

You can either work harder at ballet and they will be nicer, quit, or if the teacher yells at you tell her to stop.


Do you have to sew elastics onto pointe shoes?

No, you don't have to. However, they can be handy to help stop the heel from slipping down while you are dancing - you want your shoes to be as secure as possible.

Difference of a balletand jazz shoe?

Ballet shoes are mainly two different forms. Slipper and pointe. A slipper is usually a thin, flexible fabirc with a sturdy by moveable sole. It is literally like a slipper, but more durable for dancing. A pointe shoes is often made of silk or satin, and has some laces on it that go around the foot and ankle. (Some laces can go up the calf, but not as commonly as just to above the ankle or so.) They have a firm material in the toe (I've used wool or wood, but there are also some other materials commonly used) and it is boxed out so that the dancer is able to stand up on her toes en pointe and be on a flat, level surface for balance. They are flexible, but do provide some firm support to the foot. Most ballet shoes come on white or pink or neutrals or pastel colors, but can be made or bought in almost any color desired. Jazz shoes tend to come in black, almost alsways as I have seen. They either slip over the foot with elastic along the sides of the foot to keep it secure, or go over the foot and lace up tightly. Most jazz shoes stop exactly at the crease of the abkle and the foot. Some have a very small heel to them, while others are pretty much completely flat. They are very closely fitted to the foot, and are made of a moveable fabric with a more durable sole for dancing on. For both shoes, it is important that they are fitted properly to provide the most comfort and support. Also, each is used for the specific type of dance that their name states.

How old do you need to be on point?

Answer:It's a good idea to ask you teacher, as he or she has lots of experience in the area. Your feet and ankles need to be strong enough to support you, and a number of factors - such as how long you have been doing ballet for - will affect how long it takes for you begin pointe work.Answer:Although there is no age limit, 12 is around a good age. This is because you must wait for your feet to stop growing so you do not damage them. 12 really is the earliest they should be given, but some studios give them as early as 8.Answer: I'm 11 and I'm on pointe. There isn't really an age limit! Some teachers put you on as soon as you are strong enough to, others make you wait until you are a certain standard. If you do RAD you go on pointe in intermediate foundation onwards (I'm in intermediate foundation). With other ballet styles it is in a grade.


What happens if you quit ballet?

You will stop progressing and learning ballet. Whatever stage you're at now is where you will stop. Make sure you think through your decision to quit before doing so as you may regret it later.
