Question: To Old to Learn to Dance on Pointe!?
Hello!

I was just curious to know if a 50 to 53 year old could eventually learn to dance on pointe after taking a few years of ballet lessons three times a week!? Thanks for your input!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

it depends how strong your ankles are because you don't want to hurt yourself and how you hold yourself like how strait and how you lift up so you don't put so much weight on your toes if you can practice and do all that it is possible that you can,
i hope you have a go its really fun when you can do it, good luck!.

If you don't mind the pain like putting your feet in a vice grip and squeezing it, and your bones is healthy (have a bone density check, and ask the doctor what you can still do after the bone density test) then why not!. But why put yourself in such pain; although, you'll end up having more appreciation to just stand normally stand walk normally after pointes!. he he he!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it depends, how fit and strong are you!. Will your ankles hold you up without being in pain!. Ask these to your instructor!. It may be risky!. Ask the instructor, then try private lessons when you startWww@QuestionHome@Com

I would think so, as long as you have strong bones and is healthyWww@QuestionHome@Com
