Pointe is the art of dancing on the tip of your toes. It is done by using Pointe shoes, which have Pointe ribbons which support the dancers ankles and also the shoes have plaster of Paris in the toes to suppourt her feet. En Pointe takes years of work (as you can guess, I haven't mastered this yet!) ;)
