Question:

Is Pointe (dance) really hard?

I have been taking dance for 2 years and almost all of my dance friends already have their pointe shoes. they have been taking dance longer than me though.anyway. i was thinking about taking pointe. good or bad idea.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: well, it really depends on how long you've been dancing for and also how old you are. If you're in your teenage years, then you probably can, but be warned. You MUST have had a least two to three years of ballet before you go on pointe because it helps with your balance, turn out, foot strengh, the works. Also, you must be able to except the risk of dancing on pointe (I think you know what I mean.) Other than, possibly. You should ask your teacher.
