Criteria for Pointe Work
Individual studios will have their own set of criteria to begin pointe work. The following are general recommendations.
-
The student must be at least 11 years old.
• The bones of the feet do not fully develop and harden until approximately 13-15 years old. A dancer must be strong enough to protect the bones before they are fully developed. Beginning pointe too early can permanently damage immature bones. -
The student must have at least 3 years of consistent training in ballet.
-
The student must be taking a minimum of 3 ballet classes a week consistently.
-
Be able to hold correct turnout while dancing from foot flat to demi-pointe.
• Correct turnout is achieved from the hips and not from the feet and knees. In the turned out position, the foot is in line with the knee cap and hip joint.
