It depends on how long you have been dancing and the dance school you're in. Usually the norm is to give it 3-4 solid years of training and prep (not particularly pre-pointe, but at least working up to that)
For the average dancer who starts around 6-8 years of age the normal time to start pre-pointe and pointe is around 13 and 14 years of age.
If you start later it will depend purely on how quickly you strengthen and learn dance, on your body type, and when your instructor says you're ready to begin.

Are demi pointe shoes safe?
Hi, Demi-Pointe shoes are safe as long as they are used correctly! They are not to be used to go on pointe in, demi-pointe shoes are designed to allow budding ballet dancers who are strengthening their ankles to experience the sensation of pointe shoes!
If you are pre pointe how long before you are pointe?
You are usually dancing for about 4-5 years before you start pointe work but the common age is about 13-14 Hope this helps!
How long does it take to get on pointe for a beginning seventeen year old?
Its up to your teacher and how ready he or she thinks you are. You will probably need a few years of experience before going on pointe. It isn't likely that you could become a professional or anything when starting so late.
When were pointe shoes made?
a very long time ago
