En pointe
Men and boys can dance en pointe and sometimes do during practice for strength. They do not perform en pointe because it just doesn't look as graceful as a woman dancing en pointe. Men's feet are also shaped differently than women's feet, so it is more difficult for them.
Most doctors will recommend that you be at least 12 years of age to dance en pointe.
You can injure yourself if you are not properly trained. You should only be en pointe if you are a serious ballerina. If you are not, you probably shouldn't be en pointe. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Ocean Pointe was created in 2001.
Pointe-Claire was created in 1698.
hey! if you go en pointe without being told to by a ballet instructor or/and a dance phsyiotherapist you will most likely injure yourself. going en pointe can be a wonderful or horrible experience. if you take the time to strengthen your legs, ankles, feet and core then you will get en pointe and stay en pointe without injury's. if you go en pointe just because it looks cool and you haven't actually made yourself ready then you could break an ankle, break a toe, damage your knees and completely ruin your feet and dance Carrier for life. you cant replace broken feet. if you want to get en pointe then talk to your dance teacher about pre pointe and maybe you and her can arrange something XD hope i helped!
