“Going on pointe is a really big deal! It might seem like stating the obvious, but being put on pointe is a right of passage for any ballerina. It’s something worked for and earned, not just a shoe purchase. Students typically need to train in ballet for several years, then meet age and growth requirements before being considered. Most studios require complete pre-pointe training and an evaluation to ensure the student is ready for pointe in order to prevent injury and long-term damage to the feet. “
