The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the awareness and use of pointe readiness criteria by youth ballet instructors. <b>Methods:</b> A cross-sectional web-based survey study design was used, which included questions regarding dance instruction experience, dance studio characteristics, and criteria used to assess pointe readiness.
