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.

How do you learn to go on pointe in ballet?

Well it's a really big thing and you have to do ballet for a long time to be ready to gon onto pointe


How long does it take to get on pointe?

It depends on how long you have been dancing and the dance school you're in. Usually the norm is to give it 3-4 solid years of training and prep (not particularly pre-pointe, but at least working up to that) For the average dancer who starts around 6-8 years of age the normal time to start pre-pointe and pointe is around 13 and 14 years of age. If you start later it will depend purely on how quickly you strengthen and learn dance, on your body type, and when your instructor says you're ready to begin.


How do you do turns en pointe?

It requires prior experience on pointe and that you are comfortable with balancing en pointe as well as turns themselves. You will learn to combine the two, use the right muscles to propel yourself into your turn and keep your hips and shoulders in line. Depending on the turn you'll learn different techniques for making sure you rise completely onto your toes and don't turn in a half-pointe that will hurt your feet or bend your knees.


How many years of expierience do you need to take pointe and can a beginner take it?

I am not an expert, this is just to give you an idea of what is involved in learning pointe. I believe the minimum age you can learn is about 12 and many would say even older than that. This is because doing pointe before your body is fully developed can do permanent and serious injury. For those old enough, years of training is required to build the appropriate muscle strength and posture. If you began as an adult such as myself, (I am still in my 20's) to dance on pointe, most teachers will tell you that it requires 5 hours or more a week for a number of years to build up the strength required so that you will not hurt yourself. Every body is different, some people may never be able to dance on pointe and some people may be able to progress to the advanced level more quickly. It depends on the dancer but you must have proper training and a qualified ballet master to teach you. I like to think no one stands in the way of our dreams but ourselves, so anything is possible!


Should you only buy your child pointe shoes if they know how to use them?

They should be involved in ballet classes, and the teacher or instructor is the one to tell your child that she is ready for pointe. If she is taking ballet classes, she will learn how to dance in them overtime, but if she doesn't have them yet or has never worn them, of course she won't know how to dance in them.
