Question
Have you ever wanted or have been on point?? How did you work or strive to be on pointe besides taking class.
I dance on pointe regularly. The best thing you can do is to take class, but you can also strengthen your feet outside of class by doing releves and work with a resistance band. Also talk to your teacher about how he or she feels about you going on pointe, and see if they think you'll be ready in the near future.

Expertise
I can answer lots about ballet, specifically the Vaganova syllabus. I'm still training, but both my parents were professional dancers, so most answers will be coming from them, not me. :) They're the experts. Obviously, questions about difficult technique, etc, would be better answered with someone else, but if you're just becoming interested in dancing, or are having problems with basic steps, like pirouettes or plies, then I may be able to help
Experience
I've seen ballet since the age of 0, because of my parents, and I am training to become a professional dancer now.
