INFORMATION INFORMATION INFORMATION
The following, as you can see, is for information purposes only. What you are about to read will give you some idea of what Ballet Pointe Shoes is all about.
These questions should be taken into consideration before trying on pointe shoes for your little girl. Oh yes. there are other questions that have to be answered before going on pointe.
Her ballet teacher should be the judge of when she should go on pointe. It will also depend on how many years of ballet she has had, what dance level she is in and how old she is before going on pointe.
"My Way or Their Way", you as a parent may ask. If you were to ask 2 ballet teachers when should my child go on pointe, you will receive, but not in writing, 2 different answers. Change Ballet Schools or move to another city and you will have different answers. So what do I DO?
First and foremost, find out how many children and at what age do they go on pointe in the school your child is enrolled. Ask questions of other mothers. Observe other children when they are taking point class. Look at them and think about your little girl, will she be able to do what the other girls are doing? How long have they been taking pointe class and what age are they now?
Please remember to ASK questions. If you don't know which ones to ask just go to her teacher and say, "My little girl wants to go on pointe, is she ready?" Her teacher should be able to give you the information needed to make a decision.
If her teacher says she is ready to go on pointe then it is the time to fit her first pair of pointe shoes. This is going to be the most difficult choice to make. More questions.
