Ballet is one of the most popular youth activities in the United States. Many ballet students eventually train to dance "en pointe," the French words for "on pointe," or "on the tips of their toes." No research exists to define criteria for determining when a young dancer can transition from dancing in ballet slippers to dancing in pointe shoes. However, dancers can be evaluated for this progression based on a number of factors, including adequate foot and ankle plantarflexion, technique, training, proprioception, alignment, and strength.
芭蕾舞是美国最受欢迎的青少年活动之一。许多芭蕾舞学生最终会训练“足尖舞”，这是法语“on pointe”的意思，即“用脚尖”跳舞。目前尚无研究来定义确定年轻舞者何时能从穿芭蕾舞软鞋过渡到穿足尖鞋跳舞的标准。然而，可以根据一些因素对舞者在这一进程中的情况进行评估，这些因素包括足部和踝关节足够的跖屈、技巧、训练、本体感觉、身体 alignment（此处 alignment 未明确中文释义，可保留英文）以及力量。
