Ballet Point?

I want to learn pointe but i have no ballet experience. is this ok



Ballet Point?ballet theater



you will not be allowed to. it takes years of ballet to be able to do pointe. you have to strengthen your feet like crazy otherwise you will get seriously injured

I personally think its a bad idea because its ballet based and you might be very uncoordianted and everything and you might hurt yourself. I know at my dance school we have to have 3 years of expeirience beofre taking point. You shoudl try normal ballet for like one year and get the flow of it and then try point if you like it. I wish i did point but i cant because i have flat feet and i can brea my ankles more easily but i love my ballet..:)
There's no way you can start pointe right away - unless you want to kill your feet %26amp; knees. You will have to take ballet lessons for at least a year - probably 2 or 3.
you need to do ballet to develop the right muscles for point or you could get hurt
i do not feel comfortable with that at all. Pointe is definitely a food goal, but you hear all the time about people who werent trained for it and just started dancing and really hurt themselves. i think you should definitely take ballet for a couple years, work on turnout, work on ankle strength and then talk to your teacher about it.



I know you must be at least 12 years old and in Intermediate I before anyone even considers it to be safe to go on Pointe. Its all about safety!



But i definitely encourage you to work towards that goal. Ballet and pointe are both great!
it wouldnt be a good idea to take pointe without having ballet experience. most studios wouldnt even let you take a pointe class without taking ballet years before and while taking the pointe class.
no. you have to start from the beginning. Point shoes can hurt your feet if you are not ready for them. you have to make more muscal in your feet. It wont take you long if you work hard!
No. No. And no.



1) You'll really hurt yourself



2) You can't even spell pointE.



3) It's not fair to all of us who had to earn our way to that point (no pun intended) with hardword and dedication.



4) No teacher would let you...start with ballet.
This is not a good idea. you really need to develop balance and strength before you go en pointe. Because everything on pointe is ten times harder than it is on regular ballet shoes, you really need to know what you are doing before you attempt pointe or you could really hurt yourself.
Nope, it's not okay.



You HAVE to start in ballet; and then graduate into pointe.



If you walked into a pointe class and said you had no ballet experience you would be laughed out.
To add to what everyone else has said, pointe takes a LOT of strength to even be able to get up in the shoes, so it's unlikely that you could even do pointe without ballet training. A dance store would not sell you shoes without ballet experience, and if you try to order them online, they will be the wrong size and width because the only way to figure out your sizing is by having a professional fitting. Pointe shoes are also VERY expensive-$60-$80. The risk of you literally ripping a tendon, breaking or spraining your ankle, or hurting yourself in some other way are not worth it. You also don't know any ballet moves or steps to do in the shoes, and you don't know how to sew the ribbons and elastics on, cut the ribbons at the right length depending on which foot the shoe will go on, tie the ribbons on correctly, or break them in so they actually support your foot. You need your teacher and the people at the dance store to help you with this at first. If you want to do pointe so badly, GO TAKE YEARS OF CLASSES!



One more thing: Pointe hurts like HECK!!!!!
pshhhhhh NO!!!!!![well i mean if ur just gonna go and get pointe shoes]



If you wanna go on en pointe without braking or straining something, then take a class at a dance studio.



I have been a dancer for 6 years, all of which ballet, and I STILL haven't gone en pointe.



You have to work for it.
