Ballerina's ONLY!?

Question:

Ballerina's ONLY!?

I am an 11 year old girl and I have been doing ballet summer intensives for 4 weeks for those 4 weeks I have been having 1-2 hour sesions of pointe! Do you think in my other summer intensive I will get in the older level since it only has 30 min of pointe a day?Oh and what is the best excersize to do before pointe to get you warmed up?

*firstly to get into the higher level you would have to explain to the teacher that you think the lower level is a little easy (but don't sound to bragy) and that you would like to give the higher level a go.

*to warm up your feet don't just go straight up onto point, put the shoes on as quickly as possible and go to the barre. first roll through the feet warming up the metertarals and make sure to not only focus on your point but you demi point is a major part as well. if you can't work your demi point in the point shoes you won't find it easy to jump in them.
