Requirements for Pointe

All young ballet students aspire to be en pointe. However, there are many requirements that must be met before a student is determined strong enough. Charles Maple explains some of these requirements in this week's podcast! Note: always get approval from your ballet instructor prior to beginning pointe work.

@brianna123101 Pointe is like high level ballet in a way, but it's really the style and type of shoe. Most ballet dancers who are young/beginners wear leather or canvas shoes with no solid toe cap, so they don't go on their toe. Theis video talks about pointe shoes, which means they have a hard box in the bottom, and with a LOT of practice, they can go onto their toes (en pointe) and do crazy turns and such =] It's very hard, and a huge honor in dance.

can someone please tell me: what is the difference from Pointe and Ballet??

@vctryrose actually that's the muscle that she's gained from dance, most dancers don't have stick thin legs.
