At least 3 years or so, so you can gain strength in your legs and muscles in your stomach to hold your posture and actually stay up on your arch.

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.


What degrees can ballerinas get relating to ballet?

If you are going to be a professional ballet dancer or ballerina (ballerinas are usually the name given to a soloist or principal in a company) then you are usually selected to train and be with a company before the age of 13. 13 is often seen as too late even! But if you wish to train in ballet and not necessarily be a ballerina, then there are many degrees/diplomas at performing arts schools such as Laine which offer ballet classes as a key part of your time there.

Do you get your pointe shoes right away when you start ballet?

No, you don't. It is important to learn the basics of ballet before starting pointe work. Teachers suggest that you train for a few years to establish the required strength and technique.


How do you get on pointe?

Through a lot of ballet training and working of the ankles, feet and toes. Being on pointe is not an easy thing to achieve, and your ankles and muscles of your feet and toes must be fully prepared or you could cause permanent damage. Talk to your ballet teacher about how ready you are for pointe, and they will tell you how to train and prepare for Pointe. Be ready to work hard! But man is it worth the effort- speaking from experience. :) Consistency and patience are key!

Do you have to he in ballet for pointe shoes?

If u mean BE in ballet to wear ponite shoes and preform pointe work. Then yes you 110% must. You also need lots of extensive training and preporation it take's an extrem amount of skill to be on pointe. I am a first year dancer and have done alot of research when it comes to pointe because i hope to be on pointe by the end of next year. But I am 15 and am natural built for ballet im short have strong ankels my feet arch but not to much i hav a good turn out on alot of flexabilty naturaly. Im just blessed. But i still have work out and train for 2 hours every night and take a total of 10 hrs of dance class every week because I am getting such a late start. Either way ponite work is something that no one is naturaly talented at and every one has to work at. "Ballet and ponite work never become easy they only become possible. The training involed is so gruling and unrelenting that only with a passion for dance can it ever be achivied" Im not sure who exactley said that but Iv heard it many times and it rings very true.


By getting in a ballet class at the end is there like an event?

it depends on which ballet school you train at but most ballet schools work towards an end of year performance.

What are some ways to go on pointe?

To be able to be a point dancer you must first train in ballet. It is VERY important that your ankles are conditioned and strong enough for point shoes. If your instructor proveides point training or clases, then they will have to decide when you are ready to dance on point. You should never attempt to dance on point until your ankles are nice and strong and your instructor has given you the okay. If you attempt to dance on point before you and your body is ready you can cause serious damage, such as, riping tendens, sprainig your ankle, or even braking your ankle. So the best option is to enroll in a dance school or dance classes that offer ballet and point lessons, then to train in ballet, and have your instructor tell you when yo can enroll in point or demi-point classes.
