Is it possible to do ballet for many years and yet not go on pointe?

Question

i love ballet but i dont want to go on pointe...

Answer 1

There are several professional dancers even in NYC ballet who do dances with regular ballet shoes. If you don't want to go on point that is fine too--you can also try a different dance like jazz, modern or even tap that you may like as well.



Teachers generally like to put their students on point when they (the teacher) feels that they have been trained lng enough and their ankles are strong enough as well.

Answer 2

Yes there really is no need for any pointe training unless you plan to have a career in ballet. Many students just dance for fun so why stress your toes unless you plan to do something with them?

Answer 3

there is no need to for pointe training, unless you are planning on dancing professionally... i have many students who take ballet and jsut aren't into pointe and that's okay

Answer 4

yeah. but I'd do it if I were you. Sure, it hurts and makes your feet ugly, but most dancers think it's worth it.

Answer 5

without a doubt, its a personal choice.

Answer 6

yes that is very posibble
