That’s what rosin is for. There is always the option of a wet paper towel or sponge you can keep in the corner of your studio if allowed. It is temporary but that works too. There is also the option of darning your shoes but that can be difficult for a novice. If you have new shoes that are just breaking in save theme for barre and use an older softer pair in the center. Softer pointe shoes are less likely to slip. What type of surface are you dancing on? Perhaps your school isn’t maintaining it properly. You should talk to your teacher and see if this can be remedied. Especially if all the dancers are having this same problem. Btw, you wouldn’t say “on en pointe” as “en” in French means “on.” Your question should read “how to stop slipping en pointe?”
