at what age can a ballet student wear the ballet pointe shoes?
Is a 9.5 year old girl with ballet lessons for the past 4 years, ready to use the ballet pointe shoes?
Probably not. Of course it does not depend so much on the age as to how strong and pulled up they are on releve. Does the back look straight, is their bottom under, are the knees straight are the feet all the way on releve or half way up, are the legs turned out with out swaying the back or teetering to much. Also, another important question is if she has stopped growing or not. Feet are very malleable at this age and you don’t want her to be crippled, this will not help a future ballet career but hurt it in the long run.
I’ve never seen a nine year old ready for pointe.
The best ages are between 11 and 14 for most, with 11 being rare. Even then the training in the shoes may be limited to
de-shanked shoes for a year.

Please tell me it worked right? I dont want to sumit it again if i do not have to! Either the blog glitced out or i am an idiot, the second option doesnt surprise me lol. thanks for a great blog!
Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
Searching for this for some time now – i guess luck is more advanced than search engines
Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you post again soon.

Education begins at home. One does not only acquire knowledge from a teacher; one can learn and receive knowledge from a parent, family member and even an acquaintance. In almost all societies, attending school and receiving an education is extremely vital and necessary if one wants to achieve success
Nice post! GA is also my biggest earning. However, it’s not a much.
Fine blog. I got a lot of good information. I’ve been following this technology for awhile. It’s interesting how it keeps shifting, yet some of the core components remain the same.
must be kidding me
