How to pointe?

Im a beginner to pointe and need advice, help and strategies. Anything will be good. Please any advice. So basically my teacher told me I sshould do pointe this year. But she hasnt taught me anythin. All I’ve done are a couple shappaes (however its spelled) but I dont have the technique or the knowledge for how I should be doing things. If anyone knows anythin I dont really have any ideas on how to get better. Im practically a beginner so anything is good

Hey!

  1. do foot flexes and stretches. put the theraband around the ball of your foot, hold the ends and pull back , and slowly stretch your foot to a point and then back to a flex.

  2. lie down on your back with your legs bent and feet on the floor (knees in the air), cross one leg over the other one so your legs look like a 4, except your bottom leg is bent.now put the theraband around the outside of the ball of your foot. slowly move your foot from side to side.

  3. lie on your back with your feet in the air and legs slightly bent (kinda a 90 degree angle) circle your feet 8 times rotating each direction, then 4, 2, 1,1,1,1. repeat and shake your feet at the end.

  4. do at least 20 eleves and releves everyday. ( you probably will slacken a bit , I did, but still try). don’t forget to stretch your calves and quads after.

Hope I could help and Happy Dancing
