Can men en pointe?
Yes although it is not very common at all. Your teacher [assuming you are a boy] may put you en pointe for a short time to strengthen your feet and improve your feet's flexibility. There have been one or two cases of men performing on stage in pointe shoes but they were only as skits intended for humor.
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!

How can you get to pointe in ballet?
You need to have extremely strong legs, knees, ankles, and feet. You also need to be emotionally ready, because it is very hard. You get this by training in classical ballet for many years (start around or before the age of 5). In classical ballet, they train your feet and strengthen your legs, ankles, knees, and everything else to get you ready for pointe. Without this training, you could permanently injure your feet if you went on pointe. Once you go through years of training your teacher will eventually move you up to pointe. This is usually around the grades 5, 6, or 7. Your teacher may also let you begin pre-pointe, which begins in the grades 4 and 5. But not all dance studios offer this. There is no official age of beginning pointe. It is all based on your muscle strength.

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!

Is 10 too young for pointe?
Some would say yes, as your feet have not properly developed, so pointe shoes may cause harm to your feet
Are your feet supposed to hurt in pointe shoes?
in the beginning, yes, your feet will hurt, but once you have broken in your pointe shoes they will start feeling like a second skin, and you will be able to practice and do pointe exercises more fluently and more easily.
