The factor of getting Pointe shoes really depends on (1) your ability level and (2) your dance studio & dance teacher. 1. Your ability level: Most good Ballet studios allow girls to receive their Pointe shoes at age 12 or 13. If the dancer is extremely talented, she might receive them earlier, and if the dancer isn't as advanced as she should be, she might have to wait a couple of years. You should at least be at an Intermediate-Advanced or Advanced level. 2. Your dance studio & dance teacher:You must be very careful when choosing what dance studio and dance teacher to get Pointe shoes from. Some teachers will let girls go on Pointe when they are 11 or 12, regardless of how good or bad they are at ballet. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!! You could injure yourself for life. Some teachers are very strict and may make you wait until you are 14, but at least you know you are 100% ready when you get pointe shoes!

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!

It depends, if you want to join a ballet class and you have never done ballet before, you don't really need to do anything, but you should be pretty skinny and have strong ankles. Go to this page on WikiAnswers for more help on strengthening your ankles: How_can_you_strengthen_your_ankles_to_prevent_injuryIf you have been doing ballet for many years now, you should probably put your hair in a nice, clean bun (with no wispies or fly-aways), wear a preferably solid-colored leotard, wear tights, and have a bag that holds your regular ballet shoes and your not-dead pointe shoes. Strengthen your ankles and go over all of the corrections that your teachers have given you, and then step inside that studio, and do what you do best! (:
How do ballet teachers decide when their students can do point?
A ballet teacher usually decides when to put his/her students on point when he/she sees that the girls' ankles are sturdy. I was 9 or 10 when I got my first pair, but some teachers like to keep their kids on flat (no pointe shoes) for a couple more years. If you are a ballet teacher, keep your students doing relevés on flat for a while to build sturdy ankles.
