Nov 26, 2008 - i agree with your teacher... i didnt start till i was eleven, but i know girls who were performing on pointe by the time they were nine. (i know i was amazed... and very, very jealous)your strenght does matter. i think the average age to start is eleven or twelve, just because thats when most girls bones stop growing and arent so soft.

Nov 26, 2008 - Absolutely no!!! Look, my dream always was to be a ballerina, I`m 18 yeras old, and I started to dance when I was 17!!! Belive me, it is hard and demands a lot of sacrifice but if it is what you really want, you can not quit that easy come on!!!

Nov 30, 2008 - heyy=] if youve been doing ballet for 2 years you should be pretty close [if you do it seriously]. you should ask your instructor how long itll be so you dont have to keep guessing! its all about ankle and foot strength, though, so do lots of relevays and tondus. for your turn out, do lots of plies and splits... the trick though is to HOLD THEMM. its something about the way your muscles relax, but when i started holding my slips for 30 seconds each, i got both sides in a week. good luckk!

Nov 30, 2008 - Yes, it is very possible.

undiscoveredrocker94 Says:

Nov 30, 2008 - You have to discuss pre-point w/ your studio director, b/c if your feet haven't finished growing and strengthening enough you could get seriously injured.... so ask if they think you're ready for pre-point/point. As for turn out, I stand in first position always, even when I'm not at dance. Then make sure your ankles are turn out, this way you get it in your mind to always turn your ankles out.
