Did your teachers have you do pointe on flat for a bit, then move you up to the shoes, or did you just start right off?

Everything I did on pointe was pretty much barre work, though I did go across the floor flat on pointe shoes before. I've also used Thera-Bands, though only briefly. It was also only a half hour class; not nearly long enough to do anything. I haven't taken pointe since two years. My teacher wouldn't let me go back to the class (she thought I'd hurt myself). So, I guess I kind of gave up on pointe.
Now I'm mainly working on technique and flexibility (the back is also the most flexible part of my body
). I'm especially having fun practicing my toures and fietes (sorry about the spelling; I don't have a French dictionary).
