Some of the features are<br>obvious, such as having the three (or four?) longest toes the same<br>length, so they can all bear part of your weight; other features<br>are invisible, such as the strength of the muscles in the foot<br>and lower leg, and how well taking classes has developed these.<p>So whether you will have an easy or tough time if you try pointe<br>is really a question nobody can answer. You'll just have to try<br>and see, if you want to badly enough. I would suggest taking the<br>matter up with your teacher in any case; (s)he has watched you in<br>class and knows your strengths and weaknesses better than any of<br>us here.<p>Tom<br><ul><li><a href="http://www.panix.com/~twp" target="_top">Tom's Page</a></ul><br>[/i] URL of own homepage (optional):  Name of homepage (without the homepage will not show!):  URL of a picture (optional):       Tags for smilies [neener]   [lurk]   [fire]   [grmpf-blue]   [grmpf-red]   [grmpf]   [brood-blue]   [brood-lilac]   [brood-red]   [brood]   [heart-pink]   [heart]   [kiss]   [normal]   [oh-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [oh]   [acidic-lilac]   [acidic-red]   [acidic]   [smile-orange]   [smile]   [pointed]   [updown]   [twinkle]
