Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: you can DEFINITELY start pointe at 18!!!! thats actually a really good age to start cause your body is done growing and your brain is developed enough to speed up the process of learning you need strong ankles!. I would suggest taking ballet off pointe until you can do things without thinking about what you are doing!. Maybe 2-4 years if you have never taken it before!. to speed up the process definitely do some ankle exercises to make your ankles strongWww@QuestionHome@Com You can pretty much go on pointe any time after your feet are sufficiently developed and you are ready!. You can start after you have been dancing for a good few years and are taking classical ballet classes 2-3 times per week!. Make sure that you have a teahcer's ok first and that your pointe shoes fit properly!. Happy Dancing!Www@QuestionHome@Com Of course! As long as you have the go-ahead by your trainer and you make sure to do LOTS of ankle strengthening you should be fine!Www@QuestionHome@Com Of course you can do pointe if you're 18!!!
