Is Pointe Possible...?

Question

Ok, so i am starting dance again in the fall since i was 12. I am taking 2 ballet classes, a jazz, and lyrical class. I have OK arches, but they are nothing amazing. I have read many books on ballet and the study of the movement and all that. I think i know every possible move, and i can execute about 3/4 of them pretty well if i don't say so myself. I also have a TheraBand that i use everyday. I am going to be a freshman in fall, and i want to be en pointe by senior year...is that a good goal? to long, to short??

Answer 1

That's definitely realistic.  As long as you use that Theraband everyday, you'll definitely get there.  Contact me if you want more info on what your teacher will look for and for more exercises. Keep dancing!♥

Answer 2

its very realistic and you should go for it and if ur as good as u say u are i think you could get on pointe sooner

Answer 3

thats sounds completely realistic!! if u keep dancing and working hard you could totally be on pointe earlier tho!! :)

i wish you the best of luck!! :)

Answer 4

if this is ur first year then u better be really dedicated to make that goal. Like, take 3 classes a wk and do really good....it is possibly but it gonna take a lot of work.

SO do ur best and take a lot of ballet. Of course it a good goal, it will happen if ur dedicated! = )

Good Luck

Answer 5

Well, I started pointe when I was about 8 or 9. Although, that was my 7 or 8th year of dancing. As long as your really dedicated, i'm sure you could start before your senior year. Good Luck!

Answer 6

thats a good goal you might be able to get it by your junior year but it depends

Answer 7

I would say that is a very reasonable goal. We have one girl in my class who just joined two years ago as a sophomore. She got her pointe shoes at the end of her junior year. But she worked really hard as you will have to. Good luck!

Answer 8

It depends on if you're ready or not your teacher should know but I think it's possible, I started ballet when I was 5 and I got on pointe when I was ten. But I had to start from the very beginning. I say it's possible, you just have to work hard!
