How To Know If You're Ready For Pointe Shoes

Ойын-сауық

Hello my sweet ballet dancers! Today we are taking a quiz to find out if you're ready for pointe shoes. Pointe shoes are so exciting and there's no other feeling like finally getting the YES from your dance teacher. But, there are a few things you should know when getting ready for pointe shoes. You want to make sure you're the best age to get pointe shoes, you have ankle and foot strength, control, foot articulation, and balance. Learn how to get your feet ready for pointe shoes and what to expect when you are a beginner pointe dancer. Don't forget to pop over to my video that shows what happens at a first pointe shoe fitting, so you can be prepared and feel at ease when you are buying your first pair. Once you get them, check out all of my beginner ballet class follow alongs, foot flexibility stretches, and balance tutorials. Happy dancing my loves! xo

I’ve been researching how difficult it might be to start dancing at an older age (because most ballerinas start REALLY young), and it seems like most people can eventually train themselves to a good enough degree to dance. I wish us luck!

    Ok, as a beginner (mature 😂) adult I am stoked to pass these tests. However, I need a LOT more actual ballet before pointe is even on the radar. I have spent a lifetime exercising barefoot and accidentally doing doming and toe swapping exercises for fun. Lots more work to do on turnout and unlocking tight hip muscles too.

    I started when I was 9/10... pointe shoes never really hurt my feet until I got my 3rd pair when I turned twelve, which was the summer before 7th grade (my age rn, but I started school, and I had the other 2 pairs of pointe shoes for a full year each, only did like 20 mins of pointe for each class every week and there are two classes per week though) and that's the first time my shoes felt less comfortable. The big toe on my left foot hurt more (I put part of a cotton ball in for more cushion and it really helped but made the shoe feel smaller). It was also a different brand and harder than my previous shoes. Since I'm currently 12 I've aced the test pretty easily but then again I've been on pointe for 3 years and going. I heard at some point at a different studio that you should have done ballet for at least 5 years before getting pointe shoes (which meant I would have started 1 year ago if I didn't switch studios, not for the same reason). Back when I had gotten my 1st pair of shoes I had only been dancing for 3 years (I'm in my 6th year right now) so I didn't necessarily fit that rule which I was kind of worried about when I got my 1st pair. Luckily my pointe shoes were fitted nicely and I haven't had many problems. The ones that I have now are the ones that are a different brand than the others and harder than what I was used to back when I had my first and 2nd pairs. I have had my 3rd pair for 3 months and I can't tell if they are dead or not. They are a lot easier to go up on and my toe doesn't hurt anymore. It also fits my foot and feels better which is normal because my pointe shoes change to the shape of my feet. They are pretty broken in but I can't tell if I'm going over them or not. My teacher looked at them and didn't necessarily say they were dead but she also didn't say they weren't dead, so I'm not sure. I can still dance in them pretty nicely though.

    I agree with @Pooh Bear. There are 4 main types of ballet shoes/slippers/etc. There are full sole, split sole, pre-pointe, and pointe.

    I don't do ballet (took beginner classes once a week for a year, long time ago) and only very ocassionally do sports, but I could do all of these without any trouble. I did start walking on high heels at a very young age and tend to stand on my toes when I'm barefoot without being aware, its an automatism (my calves are quite short due to the heels). Figured that might be why I passed the test.

    I just ordered my first pair of Demi pointe shoes. Because I have been in and out of different areas (jazz, ballet, gymnastics, cheer, Arial silks, figure skating, etc) due to moving or lack of money, I really want to make sure I won’t hurt myself since I really only have KZread and my Gigi (she was a cheer captain and then cheer and dance mom for about 20 years but she is not a teacher) to help me, I want to make sure I won’t injure myself. I stretch and stretch and stretch constantly and I’m going to be spending a few years in Demi pointe unless I am able to get cleared by a ballet teacher and started getting supervision. Still, even getting Demi pointe is a dream come true. I’ve been fighting for ballet specifically since I can remember. I’m 16 btw.

    @@ahahaha239 I completely agree with you! I danced ballet for several years when I was in my teens and twenties, and went en pointe in my early twenties. I have very flat arches and rather stiff feet, although after pretty hard work, my feet became much more pliable and easier to get over my boxes. Trouble was, we didn't have so many different brands, types, and fits that we have today, and I got very discouraged and stopped dancing altogether. These days, I am taking video classes on KZread, and enjoying myself very much!! I will be taking classes soon, so that I can adjust my technique and maybe, just maybe, consider pointe classes.

    Girls watching this, I know you're excited about pointe but if you're younger don't rush. The reason you get taller and the reason your feet get bigger the older you get is because at your age your bones are not yet fully fused. Long bones like those in your arms and legs are for you actually three separate bones those being the two ends (proximal and distal epiphysis) and the shaft (diaphysis). As you grow those shafts are getting longer and once you've reached your adult height and size the shafts and the two ends will start to fuse together. The last bone to fuse is your collar bone (clavicle) which won't finish developing until you're in your mid twenties. The bones in your feet (tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges) fortunately fuse earlier so you won't have to wait too long. But your tarsals (the little round or square looking bones close to your ankle) need to be formed and it's best for your future dance careers if your metatarsals (the long bones inside your foot before your toes) and the phalanges (your toes) are at least trending towards becoming one bone each (epiphyseal union). The ends of your metatarsals will all be present when you're about 8 but they won't be completely fused and together until you're 14. The bones of your feet provide attachment points for muscles and tendons and so it's important for your instructor to protect your feet. They're not delaying you because they're mean or strict but because they want to make sure that you will get to stay in pointe for a long time. I know how old twelve feels to some of you, but don't rush. Do your exercises so when the time comes you'll be ready, but you can't rush bone development.

    Miss Auti, I don't know if you'll see this so anyone can answer really but, I have a bit of a issue. So I am a bit of an older teenager who has always wanted to do ballet since I was little and sadly never got to. Earlier in the year I began going to adult classes to learn the basics and bring myself to the level of skill and strength I needed to be in for the class that was my age group. Then covid came. So then I took it upon myself to keep learning and that's how I found you. (Thank you very much by the way, your videos have helped so much and I see improvement in myself after every one.) I am relatively flexible and have grown stronger over the past year along with teaching myself the basics. Without a teacher, do think I would be able to teach myself how to dance in pointe with myself and your tutorials?
