The name of the company is Danskin!. They're on the internet!. BUT, you are a long way from dancing 'on pointe'!. Take some lessons from an accredited dance school!. Then you can decide if ballet is for you!. Take my advise!. It can't hurt!. And it might save you a lot of heartache in the long run!. Good Luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are many ballet-wear stores, and many on-line stores as well!. However, you really should be professionally fitted, particularly whist your feet are still growing!.

However, DON'T try dancing in pointe shoes until your have the bone and muscular strength to support yourself, as you may cause injuries which will make it difficult for you to dance at all! It is VERY important that you progress through the early learning stages of ballet, so that you learn all of the necessary skills to dance en pointe!. This is a very advanced form of ballet, and it takes years of lessons and practice to get there!

If you really wish to enjoy ballet, to look and feel like a real ballerina, then you must take lessons, and that means starting in ballet slippers, not pointe shoes!. If you enjoy ballet, and have the will to keep at it, you'll get there, and possibly be en pointe in 2 or 3 years!

Good luck!. I hope that's of some help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no one will sell pointe shoes to a person with no ballet experience, you could do sever damage to your feet and ankles!. dont be so stupid thinking you could wear pointe shoes without dance training!. people train and strengthen for years and years before they can wear them, and even when they are on pointe they often still find it very difficult to maintain enough strength to support their body!.

dont do it not worth the risk!. you could break your ankles and be off your feet for months!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

NO NO NO NO NO!!!


you will injure yourself VERY badly!. Dancers gradually work their ankles to be strong enough to dance on their toes!. You have to have teacher recommendations to get them!. The dance store probably won't even let you buy them if you have never done ballet!.


don't do it,it's a bad idea!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

no dont buy point shoes there expenceve like 75 dollars a pair and you cant do point for like 3 years at least!. they will be a waist of money if you buy them now!. I have been doing ballet for 10 years and now i finnaly get to do point!. menton to your teacher that you would like to do piont and work hard!

Good Luck!

NOOOOO!!!! YOu can not buy pointe shoes until a few years of expirence!. YOU will most definatley hurt yourself!. PLus there store thats selling them will!. NOT let you buy them, and If you do your teacher will most definaltey not allow you to wear them, and there goes a perfectly good 100$Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, dancers work up to these shoes, and you're just taking a shortcut, that will result in injury!. Go take ballet classes for a couple years (the soft slipper ones), then your teacher can let you on pointe when you're ready!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
