No of course not! I’m 14 and I too haven’t started pointe yet. You have to make sure your ankles are strong enough so yeah i’m in the level just before pointe and we do 134 eschappes (or however you spell it) everyday in order to build up ankle muscles. But at my old studio you didn’t start pointe till you were 16 or older. It depends on ability, studio and strength.
