My DD is 12 and is very determined in terms of ballet!! She is in grade 4 and 5 ISTD and she does her foot exercises to strengthen her feet for pointe every night! When she was 9 she had a dropped instep but it was all sorted out before she turned 11. Should she be on pointe yet if she would like to make it far in terms of ballet? Or is it normal for he not to be on pointe??
