Dancing on Pointe with bad ankles help!?

ok.... so 2 years ago i fractured my left foot doing dance but when it got all better i went right back to doing pointe even if it did hurt because i love it so much. but earlier last year i sprained my right ankle really bad and i decided to quit that year just so it would make it worse. but now the new seasons about to start up again and i really want to take pointe but i dont know if i should would it make my ankles worse of would it make them less weak then what they already are???

I can sympathize with you. I danced for 30 plus years. I taught for 18 plus years. Every dancer winds up with bad knees, hips and ankles - it is just inevitable. You should ask your doctor to send you for some physical therapy to strengthen the ankle. Know your limitations since you do not want to do more damage or suffer an injury that keeps you away from dance all together. I loved dancing on point but had to face facts after several years. It is not too often you see an instructor on point. I have hung up my dancing shoes due to my having Lupus. Good luck and keep dancing!
