The Ballet Blog: Looks Like a Great Site

http://www.theballetblog.com/index/487-pain-at-the-front-of-the-ankle-on-pointe.html



Here is a Ballet Question I get asked all the time. When is a safe for my daughter to go en pointe? 
My typical answer is 12 years old when there is enough skeletal maturity and when the child has enough strength to maintain proper technique (normally after 3-5 years of training) throughout the entire class. Poor technique leads to bunions, hammertoes, pain in many areas. Dr Rich Blake

  1. In the crowd of people on that boat, no one is actually calling their name when the time comes to disembark, or change course. Perhaps that person in charge of steering has never been established in the first place, and the boat may not be able to be docked on the other side at the best end point. www.rx247.net/urso.html
