i take dance too!. but i have dances for a whileeeeeee!. yes and ask your instructor, most give private lessons, just remember, nice firm structure, no sloppiness, and make sure your hands are in the right positions, be like a china doll :]

and i felt intimidated when i started dancing too!. just IGNORE them, if they make fun of you (which i hate) then be like mind your own business gayfer, or something or just be like mmk shutup!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Congratulations on going en pointe! However, if you have never taken ballet, do not take pointe, as it could damage your feet and ankles!. If you are going en pointe, make sure you have very strong ankles!. As for the older girls, don't be intimidated!. The teachers obviously placed you in that class because they thought you were ready!. Just ignore them and focus on YOU!. Strive to be the BEST in your class, then you won't feel as intimidated!. Good Luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

if your in a class with girls that are older than you and your on pointe then they're probably intimidated by you!. i would know i started dancing 4 years ago and had to start in a class with some amazing 8 year olds while i was 14!. be proud!. and pointe gets easier with time, just listen to your teacher!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

u CANNOT do that you are making a big mistake! You need to take a prepointe class to get you ready for pointe and you need to be an advanced ballet dancer!. If you just go on to pointe, you could permenantly damage your feet! Www@QuestionHome@Com

ive been dancing for 10 years and attend a ballet school and pointe is one of the hardest dances you an encounter build up your ankle stregth and work on balnce! be prepared for many blisters
