Hi, Im 12 and my teacher told me today that she thinks i am ready for pointe!! i am so exited :)

Do you have any tips on getting used to new pointe shoes?

[mydancetv]

@Amy28904 just make sure you get a pair that fit. If you need to get more comfortable wear them around the house. No pointe work just walk around in them ;)

Too Young! In England You Have To Be 12/13 years of age and passed grade 5 =) (With The Royal acadamy of dance) ... but when i took grade my grade 3 i got them and i was nearly 12, but strong feet for my age. Also, your feet have to of stopped growing before you go on pointe otherwise you damage your feet :S
