Ballet and pointe are exactly the same thing... just with different shoes on. You wouldn't think the shoes you wear would make much of a difference, but it does.

Pointe is more difficult, because you have to have super strong feet, ankles, and calf muscles to get yourself up on your toes without injuring your feet. In pointe you where shoes that are hard at the toe, so you can go way up on your toes (like the very tips.) Trust me, it can hurt. Ballet is with regular ballet shoes that are soft.

The schedule has a different class for pointe, for ballet dancers who are strong enough to go on pointe. Both pointe and ballet have the same movements and positions, just with different shoes on.

pointe is shoes with the hard tip and you dance on the tip of your toes, and ballet you can wear normal ballet slippers and it's not on the tip of your toes
pointe is ballet, but i think in this schedule ballet means on soft shoes, which is just as fun and less painful. But pointe then after would be ballet with pointe shoes.
Point is a kind of ballet. Its when you have wood like blocks in the toes and you raise up on your "box"(the top of the shoe is called the box) regular ballet is when you have flat shoes with just material and no wood. Point shoes are usually stiffer than regular ballet shoes.
