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.
I buy them at Dance Threadz. Pretty much every dance store has them:)
