There is definatly NO CERTAIN GRADE, it depends on the strangth and tecnique the student has.
Genreraly students go on pointe when they reach Intermediate Foundation but this isn't a definite limit.
The student must be doing Ballet for at least 3 years and doing 4 classes a week.
(I am in grade 5 and have been doing pointe work for a year now, but i think it was way to early and i am causing damage to my feet. i have also only been dancing for 1 year.)

When can you go on pointe?
My teacher recommends going on when you start 6th grade. Teachers may vary with when you should go on. But you can always ask. But in any case you should always have experience in dance; and you must have strong ankles. I would recommend starting Pointe when you are in 6th grade. It is the just right age. Reference: I started at that grade. Hope this helps.
What grade do you wear pointe shoes in RAD?
In RAD, you start wearing pointe shoes in Intermediate Foundation.
What grade in ballet do you get pointe shoes?
It can vary depending on where you live, how your grading system works and which dance school you go to. Mainly, you start pointe-work at grade 5 and carry on through grade 6, plus any more grades after that if you are still dancing.
What grade of ballerina do you have to be to use pointe shoes?
in R.A.D grading, intermediate foundation,
How many ballet grades are there and which grade do you normally start pointe work?
Acutally - it depends on where you go. If you dance with BTDA for example, it goes to grade 5, then intermediate and up. If, like myself, you dance with the royal ballet school, it goes to grade 8. pointe work does not start at a specific grade. I dance with the North Wales School of Dance and really, the pointe work strats around grade 5. But the ballet teachers will only let you start if they think that you are ready (ankles are strong, point is good) You really have to work hard and pointe is quite dangerous, you can brake your ankles.

What grade in ballet are you allowed to go on pointe?
Normally Grade 4,5, or 6. Depending on whether you are strong enough to hold your wweight on your toes.
What grade in ballet do you need blocks?
I am on pointes and I am twelve. I'm in grade 5 ballet. But i do an extra class called Inter Foundation, which helped us to get enough strength to go on pointe in Grade 4. So you should probably wait until either your teacher says or until you are in Grade 5/6
You are on demi pointe and want pointe shoes this is your sixth year of ballet and you really want to try pointe shoes should you buy them?
If you must, but seventh year of ballet is better imo.
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!
What grade in dance do you go en pointe?
I think it is grade 4 on International Dance Teacher's Association. But i am not positive. on Royal Academy of Dance it's recommended grade 6 but it depends on the dancer a lot of the time
How can you injure yourself on pointe shoes?
You can injure yourself if you are not properly trained. You should only be en pointe if you are a serious ballerina. If you are not, you probably shouldn't be en pointe. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
