First Time En Pointe!!!

Hi I'm 13 and this is my first time en pointe. Constructive criticism please! Thanks! By the way my shoes are Gambas. Oh and the song is "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton. I don't own this and all credit goes to her. Constructive criticism please! I really want to get better, I'd love your opinions!!

@ShoutParaStackHero3

I was in an intermediate class before I was able to go onto pointe. If your studio offers it, take pre-pointe and then you can get onto pointe faster! If you are under 11, I wouldn't recommend going on pointe, as it does more damage to a young foot that is not fully developed. Pointe really sucks for some people (me!) and it also really hurts. You have to be comitted to it. Remember, everything you do at the barre/center takes at least twice the strength for pointe.

@ShoutParaStackHero3 Well depending on your dancing school you'll probably be en pointe in three to four years from now but before pointe you get demi pointe where you don't actually go on your toes but demi pointe like you would probably be doing right now but the difference with normal shoes and demi pointe is that there is a block at the end but you dont actually go onto the block.I finally now have demi and waiting on pointe shoes and i understand your pain of waiting so long. :)

YOU NEED RIBBONS!!! i know its fun and you want to get right on them but without ribbons you can break your ankle

I know it's fun, but a think it's time to stop playing at home! I know it's fun( cause I have done it) but, if you really want to get better, is to pay attention in all classes, not just pointe, and don't play at home until you are more developed! These, shoes look nice, but I think you could get even better! Good luck!

@jazluva97 hihi maybee you can watch En pointe form the australian ballet they do in the beginning of the video pretty good exercises for pointe.

you can find it when you search en pointe and the video is from TheAustralianBallet

@jazluva97 yess i take ballet classes it's a shame you can't maybe you can ask your parents again??? and if you don't have any expirience it's a good idea to hold something when on pointe cause you need to be carefull to develop strong feet!!! and not dance on carpet and maybe even focus first on plie's and tighten your belly muscles!! and when not on pointe but for instance on socks you rol trought demi pointe and push when on the "ball of the foot' i dont know the word so you go over it

@kimiesoo21 Do you take classes? because I would love to learn how to do pointe, but my parents won't let me take ballet class, so I'll never learn...

[Gabby4real11]

because your shos are still a little big you should have pointe shoe elastic so that they don't fall off the back of your heel and get some ribbons! I thort you was going to fall hehe anyways your are really good for first time just try not to sickle and go over onto the blcok more hope i helped carry on dancing x
