pointe shoe fitter reacts to BALLET MAGNIFIQUE

[@JennaGetsCreative]

I love how Josephine was so distracted by the leg warmer that she missed the first choreography hints of what was coming 🤣

[@lapris7380]

I did too the leg warmer was really distracting

[@BeautifullyAnimated]

@Jenna Gets Creative First of allllllllll....I love your name! 😁😁😁😁💙💙💙💙 Secondly, that leg warmer is sooooooo distracting. 😲😲 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think the leg warmer was a deliberate clue to the audience that this was going to get silly. :D

The end had the lady with her cell phone on video, then she holds it up like victory because she escaped their attempts to stop her. Hilarious!! BRAVO!

[@scarletbailey6086]

I've been wanting you to react to this!! Everyone knows the Mistake Waltz, but Ballet Magnifique is a hidden gem of funny ballets. It's rewatchable too, because there's so many little "mistakes" choreographed in there that I missed a couple on my first watch.

[@SimpleDesertRose]

Josephine "I need more of his in my life" Me "yeah me too" Totally made my day. 🤣🤣 organized chaos at its best 🤣🤣

[@findingmemo8852]

2:27 the lady in the middle is a MENICE to ballerina society and it's amazing.

my dance teacher actually choreographed this! she’s in it too- the one who threw the pointe shoe at the beginning- she’s incredibly talented!

[@dogfooddevin5538]

I feel like this is how ballet, and most "highly elite" arts are truly meant to be- not chaotic or goofy exactly, but accessible! This made ballet understandable, and interesting, and fun which is a lot more than I can say about most ballet clips I've seen. There's been performances I've seen in-person that are serious or dramatic and were just as entertaining, but the vast majority of ballet I've witnessed is just "stale" compared to this. Absolutely loved it, and you're exactly right- "what personalities", and that's what makes it compelling to watch!

[@lyndabethcave3835]

I just love the Ballet Magnifique because it gets more chaotic on rewatches and you notice something new every time. 😂

[@AkkaVoskuil]

Imagine Josephine being so distracted by a leg warmer that she didnt notice someone front and center just casually taking off one of their shoes xD

[@jordanrichard1283]

This one is my favorite. With neon leg warmers to pointe shoes flying and all the organized chaos. I wonder if Josephine went back and caught all the background things.

[@voyaristika5673]

As soon as the orchestra starts the dancer with the red leg warmer shoots out from curtain right like she missed cue. It's as though putting on leg warmer was last second decision. I caught it on 2nd viewing, really subtle and clever! 😂

[@kittylynndale5264]

I had tons of wardrobe malfunctions over the years, but I still have nightmares about my biggest wardrobe malfunction. Senior year of college, and I was taking a jazz class for an elective. In the middle of the final performance, my left boob popped right out of my leotard. Not even a little bit, I mean FULLY out. The only thing that saved me was that the costume had a little sweater/shrug that went on top of the leo.

[@avrilbray5194]

That sounds horrible

[@meganknipe4393]

I love ballet taking the Mickey out of ballet. That moment of comic relief makes everyone feel like we’re all human and it’s okay to not be perfect all the time…like being able to breathe for a moment….

[@jenniferharris1280]

I had to watch this twice because my sound wasn't working the first time, and I still missed so many of the jokes! you could watch this over and over and over...

[@alexpalaciossantos4940]

And the way you know this was given as much love and work as any other dance is seen in the ending. They didn't just end up jumping up and down to end the dance. They did have their moment of chaos, you know it wasn't choreographed, but they account for that and have a a way back in to make the entire end sequence thematically appropriate

[@laurenwisdom1]

Actually, most of it was choreographed. However, as you mentioned, I did give them a couple of 8 counts to improvise any kind of outlandish dancing they wanted but spacing and timing were set.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

I watched the original video and they confirmed that the leg warmer was there because the girl was injured and made it a part of the dance-notice how she's limping and being slower at some parts.

[@laurenwisdom1]

Hello! I am the choreographer. Actually, the girl dancing with the leg warmer was not injured, I would not have allowed her to dance injured. The girl who threw her pointe shoe in the wing was recovering from an injury. She was cleared by her doctor to dance on flat but was not given the go ahead to dance on pointe. What you don't see is the girl who threw her pointe shoe into the wing actually had her ribbons coming untied from the beginning.
