Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Years. I've got incredibly strong ankles and some days my legs are shaking from all of the effort. It may be one year it may be three. Two months is not enough. It's great that you have natural turnout, it will help a lot when you do get onto pointe.

Beginning of next year, you should ask your teacher if she thinks you ankles are strong enough. If she says yes, then it's good that you love to dance and put your heart into ballet, because the first week or two really kills your feet! After a while though, you grow used to it and you'll be soooo happy you started! Good luck with your dancing!
