Yes, depending on your case. Pointe work is hardest on the feet and ankles, though it really involves strength of your whole body; balance, torso, back strength, etc.
If you are hypermobile in your arms this won't affect pointe at all. If your knees are hypermobile this may make things more difficult but you should be able to work with your instructor and find a way to strengthen the correct muscles and work around it. Always be cautious and make sure it's not painful and you're not hurting yourself.
I myself have hyermobility and it is slightly more difficult to pull up out of the shoe but it shouldnt be a real problem if you look at ballerinas then you will most likely see hypermobility(not saying all dancers have it) it really is ablessingto create nice lines as long as your not pulling back/rocking into your knees.Happy Dancing:)

Can you do pointe with demi pointe shoes?
It is physically possible...BUT... do not do it. It can break toes, feet, and possibly mess up tendens and muscles in the process. It also hurts. If you want to go onto pointe then you need to buy a real pair of pointe shoes. They are usually cheaper online. NO! DO NOT TRY THIS! This can break your feet. Demi pointe shoes are for demi pointe. Pointe shoes are for pointe. ANSWER 2 Hi, Demi-pointe shoes are used so that you can experience the sensations of pointe shoes without going on pointe. THEY ARE NOT FOR GOING ON POINTE IN! If you are only wearing demi-pointe shoes then your instructor obviously does not feel you ankles are strong enough for pointe work yet. If you do this then you face the chance of never being able to go on pointe because you have damaged you feet. So stick to demi pointe shoes for demi pointe and wait a while until your ankles are strong enough to go on pointe! PS you should never go on pointe before you are 12 as research has shown that the joints etc. in your feet have not fully developed!
