of course ull be able to go on pointe later but not now..ur ankles must be strong. since ur 15 u mite go on sooner b/c ur ur bones in ur feet are almost to the pointe of not growing anymore. but ya just work really hard in class :) ur going to be a great dancer its just going to take a lot of sweat to get there! well i hope this helps!

yep of course just make sure that your ankles and feet are strong enough and you can go on

Maybe. Depending on your earlier training, technique, number of classes and studio. I suggest working on strengthening your ankles and feet by doing lots of one footed releves. Keep dancing!

Of course! You just have to work really hard and strengthen your feet. Then in about 6 months (time depending on how fast your feet stengthen) ask your instructor if you are ready to go en pointe.

absolutely- just work really hard on building up your strength, balance, and concentrattion and you should be able to go on pointe within one or two years. Good luck!

Ofcourse! Talk to your teacher and let her know that is what you want to do. She will be able to tell you and show you how to work on strengthening your ankles. Definitely let her know you are interested so she can keep an eye on you. She may notice that you are ready before you would think to go back and ask! Good Luck!

Yeah, eventually. You're going to have to wait three years most likely, unless you quit recently.
