When taking pre-pointe do u use pointe shoes or is it mainly just technice and ankle strengthening?

Depending on the studio you're at, pre-pointe is either preparing your body physically for pointe using regular shoes, or using Demi Pointe shoes. Pointe Prep is to strenghten your ankles, and body. It is the time for teachers to corect sickleing, how you hold yourself, ETC. It usally takes a year to go through pointe prep, (I know because I've been through it myself, I am on pointe) but somtimes it takes longer or shorter. Usually if you haven't gone through your big growthspirt yet you may not get your pointe shoes as soon as you like becasue the teachers don't want you to go through one and end up hurting yourself whenyou are on pointe

Why do ballerinas stand on their toes Cant they just get taller women?

It is supposed to make the dancers look like they are ethereal because they look like they are floating... and also, taller women are more difficult to partner, and also, technique and artistry are usually considered more than height...

How long does someone have to do ballet before they are really for toe shoes?

I think you mean "Pointe Shoes". And it depends. You're foot must be almost done growing in order to start wearing pointe shoes so that you feet don't get deformed. Also, you ankles must be very strong... strong enough to hold your whole body weight on 2 or 3 toes. 2 years is not an acceptable amount of time. it takes 5 of 6 years even with proper training. Some girls take as long as 8+ years.
