Demi-Pointe versus Full Pointe

In the demi-pointe (or "demi-toe"), the feet will be pointed at the ankles only, the toes are not pointed. In full pointe, the toes and ankles are pointed. 

"Demi" will always be a part of another term. For example, demi-plie, means “half bend at the knees.”  Demi is used less commonly for other terms like demi-arabesque, meaning “half arabesque,” or demi-tour, meaning “half-turn.”
