Pointe dance is a type of Ballet dance. It is when the girls have shoes with the flat top shoes and they stay on their tip toes. The have to put wools lamb and like a tape around their toes for support. You will mainly see them in performing art plays like swan lake.
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 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.

I buy them at Dance Threadz. Pretty much every dance store has them:)
Men and boys can dance en pointe and sometimes do during practice for strength. They do not perform en pointe because it just doesn't look as graceful as a woman dancing en pointe. Men's feet are also shaped differently than women's feet, so it is more difficult for them.
