You could but i don't think you should..
to do pointe you need strong feet, ankles and legs..
basically because your feet are supporting your whole weight..
You must first get the ok from a professional.. (if you know any teacher or so that does pointe)..

It can be very dangerous as sometimes your toes may appear as strong.. but they really aren't
Keepp trying!!

Practise your routines, steps, positions also try strengtheing lessons.. also it takes technique aswell.. go to dance classes.. and learn new and different things.. !!

(If you are going to buy pointe shoes.. make sure you feel comfortable and can walk, do an arabesque, or other dance techniques.. if your comfortable.. then do it)!!

But otherwisee.. don't buy a pair unless you have the tops up from your teacher!!

Hope this helped = ]

I would wait until your instructor tells you when to begin pointe. I don't think six months is long enough unless your Misty Copeland! But everybody is different. as a rule of thumb though, if you instructor doesn't tell you you can go out and buy pointe shoes for pointe class you shouldn't buy them. Between now and when you take your first class your feet can still change depending on your age.

Yeah boo-boo

No
but it all depends on the teacher
usually it takes a few years on flat shoes to get to pointe.

Yes, you certainly can, but you shouldn't play around with them especially because you have never taken classes before. Also, like the other people said, it usually takes longer than 6 months to get onto pointe. Sorry to break it to you, but that is the real truth. ????

If i were you i would wait till the teacher says it's fine for you to do pointe shoes already. Just hang in there and continue to do your best. But in my opinion(sorry), you need more practice than just 6 months. I've been doing ballet since 5 and didn't start doing pointe shoes till 11, but hey that's me, things could turn out better for you. Good Luck!:D

in my opinion (i have danced for over a decade) you shouldn't due to technique etc...there might be an exception.
whatever it is, you should always ask/wait until ur teacher says you can and usually it is helpful to go to a podiatrist if you are still young to make sure that ur feet are ready etc.

hope that helped!
