Question:

Just starting Pointe -please do not skip-?

I am starting my first pointe lesson in two weeks and our school is going to get point shoes 2 days before our first class. How do you break them in and how can I strengthen my legs and ancles?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you have access to a gym, do calf raises. This will strengthen your legs. Also make sure that you have lambs wool for your shoes.
