Are my feet ready for pointe shoes?

I'm about to start pointe work and was curious what I need to work on or improve upon. I know my turnout needs some serious work but any other constructive criticism/tips/ideas would be appreciated :) I'm mostly wanting to know if you think my arches/ankles look strong enough. Thanks!

PS. That sound in the background is my bathtub filling up. Sorry!

Haha lol how long have you been dancing? I've been dancing for eight years. Maybe nine.

O I dunno, maybe like 7-8 years. I've never had ballet lessons though, so a lot of it for me is extensive research and watching other people. It's cool though, it's just a hobby for me ^_^

you really need to work on the turnout one your standing leg not being rude.

ive been dancing 12 years and im fourteen. from the age of 2 and a half. you are ready for pointe work as long as you take it seriously. you need to make sure you have good strength in your toes, feet and ankles and you need to keep working on you arches as they are beautiful, make sure you dont sickle your feet inorder to make a good arch. :) xx
