When do you usually start dancing on your toes in ballet?

Acting is my passion: When do you usually start dancing on your toes in ballet?
I see a lot of girls in ballet who sometimes dance on their toes and just flat on their feet. Do you always evetually dance on your toes in ballet? Do you have to be pretty experienced to dance on your toes in ballet?

i just answered another one of your questions haha. it is called pointe and it takes around 7 good years of ballet before its safe to try that. and like i said before it is really reallly really hard…and it can damage your feet if you are not properly trained. even if you are trained it hurts. and it takes commitment. go to a ballet school and ask about classes for kids your age and how you can become better. but if you want to act, dancing may take alot of your time up. good luck 🙂

Yeah, you have to be pretty experienced, most of the time. My friends who are on pointe have been dancing a good 5-10 years before they got to pointe. But it really depends on how dedicated you are and how much you practice and excell in regular ballet. I’d say it could take anywhere from 5-10 years.
