It was the original way it was ever said, when it was said in france where it originated from. And it is a nicer way to say it, it fits the other terminology of ballet as-well.

cause its french......

right..?

cause its french
and ballet originated form france

it's the original way it was said when ballet and graceful dances like pointe were still in France

it's the proper french.

Because it's a French term.

en pointe means in pointe. It is the french terem that has been udes since the beggining, as are many ballet terms.

that's because it's french, so apparently they say en instead of on.

That's just the correct way to say it. Ballet terms are mostly French, so we say en pointe, which refers to the physical act of being on your toes.

ballet is french- english its on point, compared to en pointe

Because ballet is French and I guess that is just the way the French would say "on point", "en pointe".

It is French, it literally means "in pointe", which kind of gets lost in translation. Most modern ballet has developed form, ro centered around, the French method.

If that's bothers you don't read any of the Star Wars books ... it's even worse in them since all they say there is point.
