How long will it take for me to get on pointe?

Question

I've been dancing from the age of 4 to 12, but I took a break for a while when I got to middle school. It's been three years and I really wanna get back into dancing. How long will it take for me to get on pointe?

p.s: i havent been on it before

Answer 1

You're going to have to work very hard. Since your body isn't as conditioned for dance anymore it could possibly take up to 3 years. Talk to your instructor about. That how you're going to get the best answer. Ask what you can do to strengthen your back, feet and and ankles.  

Answer 2

well have you been strengthening your ankles?

is suggest you can...

do slow, two-leg rises

one leg rises

balenceing on one foot with eyes closed for 30 secs

the perfect point book is really good as well search it up

hope this helps

Answer 3

if you work really hard for a year or two...you may be able to get them within 2-3 years. this totally depends on how quickly your ankles strenghthen though and when your teacher thinks you are ready.
