well... if you're in a dance company, you usually have to take at least one Ballet class and one modern class. Tap and other genres of dance are optional. If you are just taking a class at a dance school/studio, then you usually have to take ballet in order to take tap or sometimes jazz. In order to go en pointe, you have to be dancing for years to get your feet and legs strong (and especially your core!). Most studios let their students go en pointe at age twelve, but some start earlier or later. Ballet schools sponsored by a professional company sometimes have students go en pointe at age nine. If the studio performs ballets such as The Nutcracker, Giselle, La Sylphide, Swan Lake, or Coppelia, then you must work very hard and do your best in every rehearsal. You want the teachers/choreographer to see that you are a valuable dancer.
