teachers look at the arch of your pointed foot when you are in a flat shoe!. they also look at the strenght of you ankles when doing releves and escappes!. they also look at you balance on and off the bar!. to prepare for pointe you should excercise your ankles everyday!. this will help greatly when you start pointe! good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
