[i]>I've always dreamed of being a ballet dancer, but I've never gone to any classes or anything. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could look for some beginner pointe shoes, and how I would begin, since I'm already 17?Women have started at 17 and become professionals, but not many. So if you're going to start classes now, fine, but remember the odds against a career are *very* long. Nevertheless, ballet is such a terrific thing in itself, career or no career, that I would recommend taking classes in any case, just for the sheer pleasure of taking them.Now, as to shoes: "beginner pointe shoes" is, I fear, a contra- diction in terms. Beginners don't do pointe & don't wear pointe shoes. It's not just how old you are (15 would probably be okay), but how much experience you've had. It takes time for the muscles in the foot & leg to develop the strength & control needed to do pointe. Remember that your entire weight has to be supported on the very tips of two or three toes. That's no trivial burden, even for a slim woman. My recommendation: take classes & learn how many wonderful things you can do in ballet without going on pointe. And when you begin to feel that you might be ready for pointe, ask your teacher first. She will know you; she will have seen you; she will be able to advise you.Hope that helps; hope I haven't been too discouraging.Tom Parsons[/i]
