Pointe is dangerous work, but if at right age, strength, and proper care, dancers do it. Please do not let your child go en pointe until further ballet training and she is in her early teens. Source(s): Almost 16 years ballet 11 years en pointe.
However some people in my class were advised to wait until they were 13/14 before going on pointe and a few girls in my class who also got pointe shoes at the same time as me, started on pointe when they were as old as 16!
