Pointe Perfect at what age
Parents and students often ask at what age their child will be able to be Pointe Perfect . There is no right or wrong age. No two people are the same, bodies mature at different rates, and some may just not have developed the strength and technique required. Some students at Elite Academy of Dance may go on Pointe at 13 years old, others may be later. Its difficult for a student who sees somebody possibly be pointe perfect who is younger or in the same group class as them. However some of our best Pointe dancers did not go on Pointe until they were 15. It by no way means someone is a better dancer just because they able to go on pointe.
