Anybody who has been in ballet for many years and is old enough and mentallly and physically ready for pointe.
There's no age (unless you dance school specifically says so, which is not likely). It should have to do with how strong you are.
at 12 years old or when your feet have stopped growing
yes point ballet is dangerous cause if you do something wrong in point shoes you can break you ankle !!!!!!!!!!!! Dancing en pointe can be dangerous if you try without the sufficient training. You usually start dancing en pointe after about 5 or 6 years of ballet training (this depends on how many lessons you have per week), and you must be 11 years old or older. When you are under 11 your bones are still growing and you could permanantly damage them. Your pointe shoes need to be carefully fitted, and you must be taught to tie the ribbons correctly, and sew on new ribbons. Your ballet teacher will carefully and slowly teach you to dance on your toes, and you must follow her instructions perfectly. At first you will probably only be allowed to dance en pointe under her careful supervision. If you follow instructions, and don't take risks you will be fine. It is said though that ballet dancers sometimes have problems with their feet (especially ankles and toes) later in life.

DEFINITELY not!!!!!!!!! I do ballet and we are very current. They are always making improvements and things of the sort. Shoes are evolving into more supportive, and sleeker looking shoes. Leotard styles are changing, we now have hairnets for our buns, music is becoming clearer, lights are fancier, floors are cushioned, not at all is it unmodern! also, there is contemporary ballet, which is a mix of modern dance with ballet. Ballet also builds the skills required for more popular types of dance today, such as hip hop, jazz, lyrical, tap, modern, contemporary, swing dancing, ANY type of dances goes back to ballet. Ballet is actually a required class for most people who do any type of dance competitively. Ballet is in it's PRIME TIME right now. :)
Firstly, most dance schools demand that you're at least 13 years old, because it's important the bones in your foot are developed before you put them under the strain of being 'en pointe'. Secondly, you need pointe shoes. These are satin ballet shoes with ribbons, that have a wooden block at the end, and a flattened tip, to support your foot en pointe. It's very important to get the right type of shoe for your foot, and you need to go to a reputable ballet shop to get your shoes. Thirdly, you need strength in the metatarsal muscles in your foot, and also good body tension in general, so that it's easier for your foot to support your weight.
