> My teacher lets me wear whatever I like to class, but no pointe shoes!!! I ask you all, IS THIS FAIR???????

If you've been taking class for only 2 months, the muscles of your feet andcalves aren't strong enough for you to wear pointe shoes yet.  So it is nota question of fairness of unfairness; it's a question of protecting youfrom possibile injuries.  Men do take pointe classes, either because theywant to maintain a skill they've acquired for greater marketability or elseto strengthen the muscles of their legs and feet still further.  But not after only 2 months of ballet.
