I just started pointe this year and we are still mostly doing barre work! I can’t WAIT til we get 2 turn in the center. I can only do 3 pirouettes on soft shoes. :[

I think I’ve asked this on another video but I can’t find it… :[
I’ll be 14 in three days and in late December I’ll be starting ballet.
I know that there’s no sure way to tell how long it will be, but is there an estimate as to how long it will be before I can begin pointe work?
I was hoping to be en pointe by 16..is that too much to hope for?

The amount of time it takes varies from student to student. Many factors contribute to the amount of time it takes.

It is possible that in two years you could be en pointe, it also possible that you might not.

It’s an annoying answer, but a truthful one

They’re just layers of glue that you can stand on.
Once the glue dries, it’s incredibly hard, almost like wood. =]

It’s true. I started ballet at 12 and I was en pointe after 3 months, but I know girls who took years.

I am a non-dancer with a question. At :48, is that a “normal” thing that all dancers can do, or do you have to be extremely flexible? Does that make sense?
