Okay, so I'm 14 and recently started a lyrical hip hop class (because it was the only class they had available at the time for my age) and I talked to the owner about taking the pointe class and she said that she wouldn't accept me into the class because I don't really have dance experience and since they are beginning pointe she didn't think I would have the strength in my ankles, knees, feet, and legs. Which I do modeling work, and I run alot and do P90X with my mom. My mother used to teach ballet so she knows quite a bit but she can only teach me so much because she tore the tibia? band in her hip and tore her rotator cuff and a ligament in her shoulder. So my mom says I may, if I work really hard, be able to be on beginning pointe in two months or so, but the head dance teacher won't really talk to me about it. So I was wondering from an unbiased source if I could really have a chance at being on pointe so soon. My main reason for wanting to know is I want to go into college with a dance major, and I know I am coming into dance late, but I used to move around so much I wasn't able...so if you could respond ASAP that would be awesome!! Thank you for any help!
