It doesn't always depend on age it is usually dependant on how strong ones ankles are. But do bare in mind that one should never let a five year old on pointe that would be pretty stupid. If you yourself want to dance on pointe and think you are strong and sensible enough then if you have a dance coach/teacher then why dont you ask them ? And if you are aloud on pointe then make sure they are properly fitted at a local dance shop and not just bought off the internet!

Why don't boys dance en pointe?
Men and boys can dance en pointe and sometimes do during practice for strength. They do not perform en pointe because it just doesn't look as graceful as a woman dancing en pointe. Men's feet are also shaped differently than women's feet, so it is more difficult for them.
Is it possible to learn en pointe without training?
You definitely should not do this at home or by yourself. You should always have a trained teacher supervising when you are en pointe. If you do dance on your toes without permission you risk injuring your feet or ankles very badly.
Can I go on pointe?
If your dance teacher has told you to get pointe shoes, then you should go en pointe when you are supervised to start with. If you havn't been told to get pointes then i would not recommend it as you could hurt your feet/ankles.
When was point dance invented?
Marie Taglioni (1804-1884) was the first dancer to dance "en pointe." Pointe made its debut in 1832, when Taglioni performed as the star of "La Sylphide" wearing pointe shoes.
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!
