You won't be needing pointe shoes for a while, since it usually takes at least three years before your teacher will let you start Pointe!.

You WILL need, however, soft ballet slippers!. I wouldn't get the kind that a store like payless sells unless you're three years old!. They just won't hold up with intense dancing!. www!.discountdance!.com sells the soft slippers for around 13-20 dollars!. You have two options, canvas and leather!. I would reccomend canvas split sole slippers!. I think that leather is too sticky -at least for the floor i dance on- and full sole just isn't flattering at all!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

You do not need the first kind those are pointe shoes and dancers work very hard to be able to use them!. If you have only be dancing for a little while you are not ready for them!.
Here's a video on pointe

You probably also don't want to buy your shoes from pay less because you most likely won't get a very good fitting!. You should go to a local dance store to buy shoes, ballet flats or slippers come in leather and canvas!.leather will last longer but I like canvas better!.
Here's a website that sell shoes

Dear Erin:

First, I simply must comment on your spelling and punctuation!. You need to work on both!.

As to your question, when my daughter was in ballet, she had both kinds!. The second pair you show were for rehearsal and the toe shoes were for when her learning was sophisticated enough to begin going on point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if your a new dancer then you dont need the pointe shoes for a while (those you need to get at a dance store)

you could get the regular ballet shoes at payless i guess, but i would shop around!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
