Hi i am twelve and i might be able to start pointe next year at the earliest. I have done a lot of research about pointe because i am a dedicated dancer i dance five days a week and i want to go to the Juilliard School of Fine Arts. Any tips for pointe beginners or about pointe in general are welcome!

Well, pointe work is not required for Juilliard. It is not a classical ballet program. Something to think about as you set your goals.

Working with a dynaband to point fully through your ankle, foot and toes is a great way to strengthen for pointework.

Keep working hard!
