I started ballet about 4 months ago but I am more passionate about it than anything else in the world. I take three classes a week, and wish I could be good enough to be a pro. I can always try. I'm going to college and stuff, so if it doesn't work out, I have a real career to fall back on. But the thing is, I'm 17, which is pretty old. I want to start pointe, but for some reason no one seems to want to try and teach someone my age pointe. My teacher doesn't take me seriously when I say I want to try it, and blows it off with, yeah I dunno... We can probably get you a pair soon. I think I'm ready for pointe though! I can hold pretty much all the balances (arabesque passé coupé) I have good turnout, my feet legs and ankles have gotten much stronger and more flexible. I know the steps that I need to know, and am in an intermediate class already. How do I know if I'm ready, and how do I make my teacher see how much I want to try it? Everyone says I look like I've been doing it over a year
