Well I am on flat 'cause i'm not old enough, but my ballet teacher says if I had 'em I would dance great. I usaully take classes that aren't my age (cause I'm pretty tall)and My mom just lies about my age and my ballet teacher might think I need to wait one more year, but really, it's about 2. But then again my ballet teacher says I am good enough to be in the highest level at my academy, so there is a lot of tall people but thank goodness, about three are with me.

Well our academy only has up to level 4, so i actually take a 3-4level class. Some people in level 3, 4, or half.And I don't really know if if I in 3, 4 , or 3 and a half. I think I'm mostly in the 4th level. I'll ask my ballet teacher.
Mod
our studio has everything only up to 4.
Mod
yeah... they have age thingies and then there is level thingy.
Ours is based on age and on ability. there are 3 levels cuz it's a small studio and I"m in the highest level in all of them. Last year I was on the Junior Line cuz there wasn't enough girls to do a Senior Line. This year there will be enough so I'll be on that.
our studio moved to a bigger and better and newer(duh) studio
wow! we have 7 levels and I am on the top. At least in ballet we have 7 but in jazz we only have 4 and I am not sure about everything else
im on pointe! i actually have a pointe solo this year even tho its my 1st year i still do flat tho
I took a weird method, and I would totally tell you, but i dont know how to spell it. but you had to take a test before you moved up, and these things really put a lot of pressure on you. so you tested about every year, and sometimes you traveled all over the country. I moved before I went en point. or even pre-point. it was because i was so young, though
I'm going en Pointe next week! So excited!
you'll have so much fun Fata!! i luvv pointe! & u feel TALLER en pointe! it rox cuz im a shortie!
OK, so not until next month. I have to get a doctor elvaluation before my teacher will even let me think about getting pointe shoes. And I can't wait. My boyfriend is almost a foot taller than me (I'm really short) and I can't wait to feel tall!
i'm almost pointe. still 1o so yeah...
I went en pointe when I was 10 but I have low arches so i pretty much suck
I started a year ago en pointe, but I just sprained my foot so I'll have to work back up to pointe! :'(
i'm en pointe and i have been for 4 years. i started when i was 7, but then i had to get off for 2 years because i broke my ankle and i had to work back onto it. but i do pointe and flat.
so it's rlly 6 years thenn... okay. lol
wow that's cool! our school goes to Level Seven and I'm in level three. Do any of ur schools do exams like Intermediate Foundation?
mine does! i'm in level 6. my teacher said i would be in level 7, but i'm too young. =/
Pointe looks cool... But it destroys your feet! I have a blister on my toe that I got and was popped in one night! It still hurts too!
How long have you guys been en pointe?
