Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰♥️

OMG hi!! totally not fangirling over here 😍

[@ThePointeShop]

thank you so much for watching!!! we're big fans!

Both of y’all inspired me to do acro and ballet (of course not at the same time 😂) love you guys videos!

[@emmaaa.]

Love ye both!!

[@lizzylambardo8103]

The rybka twins' mom is their dance and acro coach. She's always there whenever they attempt these crazy risky stunts. They're never alone. And, obviously, they're crazy strong and insanely talented.

[@skyeconder3848]

They was also thought by Abby lee millor

[@lizzylambardo8103]

@@skyeconder3848 Really? I don't remember hearing that anywhere. I thought they auditioned for her, were supposed to meet her during dance moms filming, the producers had them wait in a room and nobody told Abby or the girls that the Rybka twins were there until hours later. Unless you're talking about the collabs they did on KZbin with Abby. They werent taught by Abby. If they were, they'd have done much better when they did the terminology collab with Abby. Lots of dance terms are different in Australia than the US. They'd have known the US terminology if Abby taught them.

[@YenellyT]

@@lizzylambardo8103 yeah they used to take class with abby back in the day

[@lizzylambardo8103]

@@YenellyT Okay, but there's a difference between taking a couple masterclasses with Abby and being actually taught by her. When you go to a masterclass, you don't then add "taught by so and so" to your dance resume. You might add "attended masterclasses with Abby Lee Miller and won her competition" but those are vastly different. Being taught by someone means that you regularly take class with that person. Maybe you even compete under that person's name (like the dance moms girls competing for abby lee under her studio name). I went back and watched the videos about the Rybka twins' experiences with Abby and on dance moms. They did two master classes and a competition that abby put on and judged, but that's not the same as being taught by Abby. They would've been there representing their own studio that they go to in Perth and representing their mom who coaches them regularly.

[@ITSME-sp5up]

[@laurenkathleen2221]

I was a gymnast but have never been en pointe. They are incredibly strong and talented. I think it would be really trippy to land on your toes instead of on your feet, however gymnastics train extensively to land all these skills very particularly with a lot of control. So theoretically you can slow down any skill and control the landing to land exactly where you want. Still does not make this any less impressive but definitely makes it safer

[@austinluther5825]

Absolutely. Also used to be a competitive gymnast. My coaches always said that the slower you can do a move, the better you can do a move. I remember practicing back walkovers on beam CRAZY slow to perfect my control. I also at home practiced on swing-set bars and tree branches and chain-link fences because rounded, sharp, and/or unstable surfaces make a standard beam seem easy. Never been en pointe either, but I and most gymnasts I knew practiced moves in weird ways for fun and to showcase control.

[@viis374]

That’s very true I’ve seen gymnasts with injured arms or hands do their tricks one handed just to keep practicing. I also did a competition once with one foot injured and had to slow things down or land with one foot. It still hurt like hell but in the end I was second place so it was worth it

[@sofie..dancerxgymnast]

competitive gymnast now. i feel like the control of the landing would be possible, but taking off on point or rolling off point would be incredibly hard

[@SlpBeauty333]

I think the only ones that are questionable are the round off and back handspring. All the others have to be done with a lot of control and I used to go from one to the next without putting my other foot down. I'm pretty sure all gymnasts do that at some point, just not en pointe!

[@lyndabethcave3835]

Commenting to bump this higher.

[@lissajedi]

I agree!!! Hearing impaired here, and closed captioning covers up those bits, and not just on this channel. Most KZbinrs do this in their videos and I have to turn off captions to read it, then rewind and put captions back on to keep listening to the rest of the video. If they'd just put that stuff at the top of the screen, in a larger font and a bit longer, it would make watching these videos more enjoyable

[@ThePointeShop]

read and received! thank you for your feedback - i always keep them small because i don't want them to take away from josephine's beautiful face or what she's saying - but noted!!! thank you so much for letting me know :) - jaz

In japan, the order is Rock, Scissors, Paper (グウ•チョキ•パー). But the words we use for it doesn't actually mean rock paper or scissors. It's the sounds we give them, like sound effects? Japan loves their sound words lol. oh yeah I just remembered lol It's called Janken (じゃん拳). You say Janken Pon!

[@austinluther5825]

I grew up in Hawaii and we said "jon kana po." I think it's derived from another language, but none of us knew what it meant literally. And if you tied and went again you said "ai kana sho." If you kept tying you just went back and forth between those two phrases.
