well you have to have a fairly strong foot and proper shoe fitting. other than that I don't think it is that hard if you are trained correctly. OH I have a suggestion If you want your feet strong don't only rely on things at the studio. try...
using an athletic band, like ones that they use at curves or somthing. For instence try putting the band around your foot covering your toes and point with your toes and only your toes, then pointe your entire foot. ( make sure you are holding the ends of your band at your knees. also try picking up marbles with your toes. but try not to put them against the ball of your foot. these exersises will mae your feet stronger and it will be easeir to get on to the platform of your pointe shoes.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

You should try it and see if you like it if not use ur best judgemeat

Very hard your feet hurt like fire after your first couple of times. But very rewarding. I do exercises like a lot of plae revelves, half toe go over the box on both feet in first, second, and fifth, and mostly the same exercises in ballet. But you will do great good luck and work hard!

i was having sooo much trouble when i first went en pointe.. it was embarrassing. but then i went home n practiced the exericises n warmups we did in class and my noticed how much i improved! but wht also helped me alot was taking a pre pointe class. its a class on flat tht strenghtens ur legs and feet to prepare for pointe. u should enroll in a class like tht.

good luuuckk!! :}
