i think its amazing for a guy who wants to be en pointe. especially considering im also a male who has been doing pointe off and on the last two years. first question how long have youve been doing ballet? your ankles def need more strengthening and try not to hop onto your box. really pull up to sustain the form and the movement whether its doing a simple das de bourree or rising up to an arabesque. but def keep up with your pointe work, im sure youre going to do great.

Thank you so much, lord know this is an old video i'm way better now, my only problem is i don't do pointe long enough for my feet to keep the arch that it develops when i am dancing en pointe for long periods of pointe so i just enrolled in a ballet jazz class that i go twice a week and and a pointe class once a eek so i hope this will help. i know it will!!!!

Boys are not meant to be doin' pointe. It will put too much pressure on your ankles and even knees which will cause injuries in the future. Boys have a higher body mass which means there too heavy.

Uhm... so if you don't know what you're talking about don't comment cause it only makes u look less educated on the fact. Men were the first to wear pointe shoes.

Haha.. nice. :). Just work on your arch and your ankle strength, and I'll see you on stage in a few years.

You need to do a little bit better research before you try to sound like you know something. Ballet was invented by men, but pointe shoes didnt come along until much later, well after women had made their way into the art. Marie Taglioni was the first person on record to dance on pointe, and her shoes didnt have the hard box that you think of now. Hers were just satin slippers with a tiny bit of darning on the sides, nothing for her toes. She was one strong WOMAN. Kudos to all men strong enough!

this is true, but its true about ballet period. if you are not properly placed nor properly trained, your body WILL suffer. However, with the proper placement and training, your body should be strong enough to withstand the anything ballet throws at it. With that said, pointe work is a part of ballet and with the proper training and placement your body can and will be strong enough for pointe shoes, weather you are a female or a male does not matter its all about your body's strength!

HAHA good job! thank you!

your not ready for pointe, sorry and 2 classes of "ballet jazz" a week plus a pointe class is def. not enough class....you need to take class daily 2 a day if possible...find a studio that concentrates mainly in ballet. Any decent ballet studio would never include a "ballet jazz" class...sorry to burst your bubble. also, dancing on pointe is very dangerous if your not ready...
