I've been on pointe and it's work. First, relax, when it's time, it'll happen. Second, talk to your teacher, she may not think you're ready. Think about taking some extra classes or asking for some extra instruction. Don't rush it, have fun with ballet. You've only been dancing for two years and you're still growing.

You have only been taking ballet for 2 years, you have to master upper and lower body alignment along with leg strength before you go on pointe. Pointe looks beautiful and graceful but it is is very hard, and can ruin your pretty feet. Be careful what you wish for. My daughter kept pushing for pointe, she has been taking ballet since she was 3, she is 13 started pointe this year and complains after every pointe class how bad it hurts. She loves ballet and has the dancer feet and body, but it does take a long time to develop and break in your pointe shoes. My advise is stay with ballet it is just as beautiful, you need more classes and time before you go on pointe.

hmm ok here's some ideas 1. pull up your thigh muscles, to straighten your legs and ultimately make point easier for you 2. turn out - A LOT! turn out is a dam lot harder on point, so really try and keep the turnout from the hip sockets and but. 3. point on point, remember to actually point your feet, which means toes and ankles on point. point shoes don't hide your feet. 4. keep core stability - make sure your centre and core strength are strong and pull up, so you don't sink down into your shoes. this will make it a lot easier to dance and move about quickly on point. 5. experience - dance any time you can on point. walk around in them at home. do lots of bar work. i know this is completely cliche, but it's also 100% true when it comes to dance - practice makes perfect. 6. repition - this can be boring, but it works. basically the more times you do something, the better you'll get at it hope this helps!!

Your teacher is the person you should talk to. Two years is a good start but she may feel you need a bit more strength and training. She may know a good estimate of when it will be.

I'm on pointe and all I can really advice you to do is talk to your dance teacher about it... if I knew more about your technique, I could of probably helped more.
