I was just wondering can you dance en pionte with bunions? I just dont see how you could balance with them.

yes you can.
bunheads makes a product called the "bunion buster" which is a little gel sock for the bunion and buionette areas, just for a little protection.
and, if the shoe is properly fitted, you will have little to no additional pain compared to a bunion-less dancer.
on a side note, having your bunions surgically removed does NOT eliminate dancing en pointe, but most dancers opt to have the surgery after their career is done because it does make it a little difficult to keep up with your training, what with recovering from surgery and all.

I think yes...but possibly only if you've had surgery for the bunions. I have the New York Ballet workout tape and it's really clear that one of the ballerinas has bunions. She does dance en pointe on the tape.

Yes, because you can always get a certain shoe with a wider box, so it is comfortable for you and your bunions! Just joking! Good Luck en pointe!

yes you can...its just a lot harder to find pointe shoes that fit cuz you'll need a wider box, but you dont want the rest of the shoe (like the heel) to be too wide

i'm 14 and characteristic danced for 10 years. going en pointe without footwear on isn't the terrific element to do on your ft. it may provoke human beings in spite of the shown fact that it is going to definitely destroy your ft and ft. you may bypass on on your large ft customarily to hold the burden in case you probably did it with none footwear. its a stupid element to do truly.. while you're in grade 5 you may very almost be waiting to think of what it would look like. or stand on considered one of your legs and element your foot as in case you have been occurring pointe on that one foot. and look at it in a mirror... its not rocket technology. in spite of the shown fact that it is going to break your ft and mess them up in case you probably did it too oftentimes ... :/ sorry to sound destructive, in spite of the shown fact that it is not that exciting..

yes. it may hurt them since there is so much pressure on them, but it is definitely possible.
