It depends on what genre of music you are looking for... here are some suggestions... - "Ooh Child" sung by Beth Orton - any songs by the group Plumb also work - if you want more traditional Ballet barre music i suggest... -"The Entertainer" -"Bella's Lullaby" - traditional piano music
some good songs are songs from the nutcracker, Ave Maria, Sleigh Ride (if its x-mas time) believe and songs from the ballet's "La Bayadere" "Cinderella" (Prokofiev) "Don Quixote" "The Firebird" "Swan Lake" i hope i helped
the final battle
canned heat
ramalama (bang bang)
i like to choose jazz songs because pointe dancing doesn't always have to be to Classical Music
Most people believe the first person to dance on pointe was Marie Taglioli, but there is a little evidence that someone could have danced on pointe before her.
You can start pointe when your dance teacher thinks your feet are strong enough ;)
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.
Yes, although pointe is not as common as demi-pointe for males. I have seen a few males in pointe shoes (white, not pink), but I think most males prefer demi-pointe.
You can totally wear socks over your pointe shoes on carpet if you want to warm up your feet. Just remember that it's never a good idea to wear socks on top of your pointe shoes to go on pointe, as it's really slippery (learned from bad experiences) and don't go on pointe on carpet (twisted an ankle a couple times doing that) unless you mean dance carpet, as in, the flooring in your dance studio.
You should only dance on pointe when you have an experienced dance instructor conform that you are ready. My dance instructor knows someone who went on pointe too early and was consequently not able to have children.

Most doctors will recommend that you be at least 12 years of age to dance en pointe.
Depends on what level you are at. If you are older then the main age of which pointe work starts, (11-13) then probably not. Also depends how good your technique is!

The answer varies by dance school and instructor, but the overall age answer is the same: age doesn't matter. It depends on when you started dance, how often you dance and what level you've reached. You should check with your instructor if you aren't sure how close you are to being ready. Things that are important: *Toe strength *Ankle strength *Calf strength *A good background of ballet There are special pre-pointe exercises that you'll begin when your body is ready and when you've had enough years to dance to start preparing for pointe. A good dance instructor will know a) when you're ready and b) what to tell you to begin.
Usually, wood.
A good song for the first dance should be slow and very romantic LOL. !!!!"""£££$$$%%%^^^&&&**(())__++
