Dancing on Pointe?

i'm 19 years old, obviously, my feet are fully developed. i took 7 years of ballet, but ive taken a break for the past 5 years. I'd like to teach myself. I'm 5'5 and 115-120 pounds. Any tips?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Be very careful! Its a very dangerous thing to teach yourself! If you don't want to go to a class or a teacher though I do recommend making sure you have some sort of bar and a dance floor! Take it very slowly and get back into your dancing first then slowly start to integrate point. Wear your shoes for a while, don't rush it though, you can severely damage your feet! You could check out a few dance books at a library too for tips on how to teach yourself! Good LUCK!
