no please dont do that..your body isnt made to go up in pointe...the shoes are designed to support you so you dont hurt yourself..if you want to do pointe go to a dance studio they will be able to tell you if you can do it (you dont have to go to a doctors) you shouldnt do pointe if you arent taking classes you need to be properly trained by a teacher or you could do serious permanant damage to you ankles..whatever you do just please be careful

Get the shoes and take a pointe class, but make SURE to check with your doctor first!!!! If you ankles haven't finished growing yet, your feet will get messed up!!

I do mostly ballet and we always use point shoes, but in my Horton class sometimes we releve onto full point without point shoes. but you have to make sure your toes are strong enough first...otherwise you'll break a toe off.

It's defiantly not safe.

Please don't do it.

i took pointe class without point shoes for a while. Its ok just don't try to go on full point in your ballet shoes. Just demi point.
Also if you do use pointe shoes make sure your feet/ankles are ready cause i have badly damaged mine cause i started when i was 8.

Yes! I used to do it and I almost broke my toe!

you can mess the up if you go on full pionte. always use pointe shoes! and like some of the other answers check with your doctor to see if your ankles and feeet are fully developed

well i think u shouldnt but i dont take ballet or pointe so i suggest u dont because u could like twist your ankle or do something u will regret someday.

no..you can break your feet and ruin the rest of your dancing career!!
