when can i go on pointe shoes?
I am 15 and started ballet this year. I took modern dance 2 years ago and stopped. Last year i took jazz and tap. I take a jazz and tap class, a hip hop class, and a company class which is also jazz and tap. I also play field hockey, run track, and play softball. I have strong legs and ankles. when do you think i will be able to go up on pointe?
It's good that you took jazz and tap as they are a form of dancing, therefore they should have helped you strengthen your ankles and feet. However, I have noticed that sports such as field hockey and whatnot do not help you to go on pointe very quickly. Concentrate mainly on ballet if you want to get your pointes, and practice practice practice at home. Do a lot of rélevés and tendus which really help those ankles, but don't forget center floor work and other barre exercises. You have to be overall a good dancer to get pointe shoes, but really it's up to your teacher or instructor to decide when you get them. If you practice really hard, I'd say you'd have them in two years or so.
Good luck dear !
