Ballet pointe?

is it possible to teach yourself to pointe without taking ballet lessons?

it's possible to teach yourself ballet on your own. But I would definitely not recommend doing pointe without proper training. That would higher your risk of getting injured. One wrong move, and that could be very bad. But yes, you can teach yourself ballet.

sorry but no. pointe is actually very hard and it hurts so you need a teacher to tell you what brand of shoe you should buy, how to keep your balance, and keep you back straight, things like that. my pointe teacher when i was younger told me that if you tried to teach yourself pointe, you might actually end up twisting your foot. and after the first time i fell i knew what she meant because the shoe is made of paper mache(all are) so you need to know how to connect with the shoe and work with it. i'd know because ive done pointe for ten years and it takes alot of practice.

hope i answered your question =]

please listen to me because it would be really sad if you got yourself hurt. and it most likely wont be pretty
NO!!!!!!! You will only hurt urself badly. Dancers go to ballet classes to prep themselves for pointe work. It is absolutely necessary so you do not injure yourself.
That's almost impossible. I mean, ballet is the basis of all dance, and all pointe is is ballet on different shoes. But there;s NO WAY to teach yourself pointe! It's just to much of a risk! Pointe's dangerous because if you do something wrong and your teaching yourself how to do pointe, how will you know if it's wrong or not?You can't really tell that much, even with a mirror. And if you keep doing the step or stretch wrong, you could seriously injure yourself.You need a teacher who knows the best way to teach you pointe. Teachers can usually tell when your doing something wrong, and that can prevent injuries. Just whatever you do, DON'T TEACH YOURSELF POINTE!
NO!! you could hurt your self very very VERY badly.. teaching yourself ballet on the other hand.. you could teach your self the poitions and simple things like that but not technique would develop therefore you would not beable to perform or anything. if you really want to know ballet i suggest taking some classes!!

good luck%26lt;3
No way! u wont have the stamina or strength and will badly injure yourself- u dont kno whats right from wrong
No. Simple as that. I have been dancing since I was three and stillcan't do some thing. It takes great time, practice and endurance. I was on pointe when I was 11 and that very difficult. You have to dance for a very long time, get strong ankles/knees/abs/toes, and then you MIGHT be able to try. Trust me I know.
Dont even try!You might permanently damage your feet and you need years of ballet training before you can go on pointe because it takes a lot of strength and it hurts!You might be able to learn some basic ballet from videos but if you want to be professional,its better to find a good dance studio.
nooooo! dont try it. its very dangerous if you dont know what you are doing. pionte takes a lot of hard work and muscle
NO don't even try because that would be soooooo dangorous. it might be possible to teach yourself to break dance without an instructor but pointe is completly different. u need an instructor for almost every aspect of pointe, from finding the right shoes to doing multiple turns. if you try pointe with out an instructor and manage not to severly hurt yourself, you won't even be any good at it. sorry, but if you want to do pointe, you need to take a class
NOOOO its very time consuming and takes a while to build up strength! Dont try it.
