pointe shoe fitter reacts to TIK TOK 16

[@andreww2098]

the K-pop dancer is Le Sserrafim's Kazuha, she's Japanese, she was a pre proffesional dancer who trained at several top level Ballet schools in Europe, Royal ballet, Bolshoi and was pursuing a Degree at The Dutch National ballet

[@x_angel_x8714]

I legit went to the comments to find someone talking about this

[@starilyn]

like love zuha with my whole heart

[@msmalice6007]

josephine should review the le sserafim promo videos where she's in pointe shoes because i wonder if her pointe shoes are properly fitted because i don't know if regular stylists would know to get the right pointe shoes hopefully they asked kazuha for her pointe shoe type and size and ordered them rather than just any pointe shoe. same with when she does photoshoots like elle korea i hope she's able to bring her own and doesn't get given random pointe shoes like they seem to give models in those photoshoots josephine has reviewed before

Hi! Former professional Ballroom and Latin dancer here. The first one is wearing Latin style shoes, and while we typically don't point our feet to that extreme, yes we do strongly point our feet. As you can see from the view of the underside, the shank stops at the ball of the foot and front end of the sole is a soft, thin, unsupported suede. I didn't do this, but some Latin dancers also wear shoes a size or so too small so that they can literally grip the floor with their toes. (Which isn't as weird as it sounds. I promise it makes more sense when you know the technique and isn't wildly noticable from the audience.) Love your reaction videos and it was a delightful surprise to see a Latin dancer in there!

[@tamara2301]

As a former ballroom dancer totally agree foot point is important in latin style :) wish ballroom shoes had fitters like ballet. I have hyper flexible ankles so my point while it looks pretty is mainly my ankle and not my foot so I always popped out of the front part of shoes when I pointed. Never found a latin shoe that worked. What brand did you wear? I found Ray Rose the best at the time I danced. So much more options now :)

[@MelindaMassie]

@@tamara2301 It would've been soooooo nice to have shoe fitters! My point looked really pretty, but the sole stuck out beyond my toes when I pointed which was...not exactly attractive...but they got the job done and other than that I loved them. It's been so long now since I danced that I barely remember the brand of the first pair I bought. My boss gave me a pair of her old shoes until I could afford to buy my own pair. I'm pretty sure they were English, and I think I ordered them from a catalogue? It was definitely pre-online shopping. Supadance maybe? I remember options were *very* limited and, at the time, the "ballroom" shoes carried at my local dance stores were much more like character shoes than ballroom or rhythm. SO many more options and easier access now!!

[@emhu2594]

That looks like Antonina, and she is putting her weight on the Barre not on her toes. Very few ballroom dancers have feet like that, I believe she did a lot of ballet at a young age. She wears Supadance shoes which are beautiful and flexible (she would never be able to do this in Aida) but are easily the most horrible torture devices I've ever put on my poor feet. Dance Naturals is my favorite ballroom shoe, but I had to go to their factory to get a correct fit.

[@flowerdolphin5648]

@@tamara2301 we do have fitters! Every time I've bought any dance shoes the owner of the store would make sure the shoes fit correctly.

[@tamara2301]

@@emhu2594 yessss I used to like Dance Naturals too but had the same problems with popping out of front of shoe when I pointed. But that was a me problem lol supadance were not the most comfiest shoes around :)

HEY FRIENDS! Due to copyright, we had the mute the audio on the second to last tik tok :( Our production team tries their best to run checks & replace audio before these videos are live, but the copyright system just flagged 21 seconds of audio, over 48 hours after the video has been uploaded to KZbin & 'checks have been run.' We hope you can still enjoy! THANK YOU for all your support and for tagging us in such funny videos!!

Heyy

[@bridgetcooney5085]

I work at a grocery store, and for some reason we have several dancers from the same ballet company who all work there. One of the guys, who has since transferred to a company in Florida used to dance down the grocery aisles, and dance in the backroom CONSTANTLY. It was pretty great, sometimes it was ballet, and sometimes he was just teaching our coworkers ticktock dances.

[@tracymainwaring3178]

The young girl making the face going on pointe at the barre, that was her first day back after a summer break. It's so cute

[@amimia3496]

you know her???

I want a whole show of household sounds interpretive dance, too! That would be hilarious. Especially if the sources of the sounds are shown.

[@RaineBelleChannel]

I went to my friends first pointe shoe fitting (I’m a year and a half older) she didn’t stop smiling the whole time and even after when we went to eat she still didn’t stop smiling I loved being there for her first time. The people who fitted her shoes where so nice and I will never forget it❤❤❤ *im still a dancer to this day, so is she*

[@sarahcoletti6946]

Omigoodness that Contemporary Teacher skit and Living with a Dancer skit both absolutely killed me! 🤣🤣💀💖

[@Robin.Hollinger85]

Omg the tap dancing and “Living with a dancer” were both sooo funny! I’m dying

[@IlRestauroCreativita]

I adore how kind Josephine is. No matter what she finds something positive to say.

[@Milestone257]

I used to do ballet as a kid. It was a part of the school sports selections. The thing is the teacher used to complain nonstop about how we were lucky to have her as she taught at some fancy school. We always did the same dance and the same things. I don't think she cared for us much. I remember asking her when I get point shoes. I was young and wanted to dance like those older than me. She just laughed and said never. I ended up quitting due to many other issues. But I will not forget the pretty dancers I saw when my gran took me to shows. Your videos helped me reignite these memories. Might not be a dancer but I diffently love the art form.❤

[@mahenonz]

That’s a shame you had such a bad teacher! It sounds like she didn’t actually want the job, but she was probably there because she couldn’t get a better one. If you are still interested in dance you can always go to adult classes if they are in your area and just learn for fun.

[@Milestone257]

@@mahenonz thank you for the kind words. I have been considering that for a while now. Thank you ❤️

[@hannahcenepo-torres4930]

With all the pointe shoes I’ve ever had I always draw a tiny heart on the shank, I forget it’s there until I sometimes find it while putting them on and it never fails to make me smile. It’s become a habit at this pointe (jajaja get it? Pointe)

[@cherylkavanagh3387]

Loved this!! The wedding dance was priceless (so good!) and I laughed until I cried watching "Living with a dancer".

[@amyhull754]

Josephine, you bring JOY to my day. EVERY. ONE. OF. THESE. Your face, your horror, your joy, your delight...ALL of the reactions are just...filled with your love of dance, movement, dancers...and I love that you keep doing these. I agree with @JessGlenny, who says you should visit the historical pointe shoe collection and do a vid (in, you know, all your spare time). 🙂

[@jenniferwatson4970]

My 6 year old loves watching you! She just told me that when she gets her pointe shoes, she only going to darn them a little. Then she explained to her brother how to darn pointe shoes. I keep telling her she has to take classes for years before getting pointe shoes. She doesn't get it. 🙈

[@Uma_The_Frog]

The first one oh my gosh it brings back memories from ballroom and doing random crap in the heels😂

[@chaeun]

I think the first one is a ballroom latin dancer. We don't go so extreme in pointing our feet in dancing, but a lot of dancers will do this to improve flexibility and aesthetics.

[@theunschooledgirl]

I don't know whether I'm pleased or disappointed that there weren't any cup videos. Pleased, because hopefully that means that people are learning their lesson and the cup trend is going out of style, but disappointed, because... I mean, come on, which one of us DOESN'T find Josephine's reaction to them hysterical? 😂

[@ComplacentOtter]

You have to know that you prepared me to absolutely adore Kazuha of Le Sserafim. They've done amazing work incorporating a tiny bit of ballet influence so Zuha can show off her ballerina skills. If you aren't listening to Le Sserafim, you need to check them out.

[@TrueRival]

I fell that last one. My daughter is a dancer, and I'm always catching her doing small moves to the simplest sounds. I find it cute.

I have red pointe shoes from a dance I did way back in the day. It was so pretty with all black tutus and leos!

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

Here me out... a group of improv percussionists (Think STOMP) left to their own devices with an array of objects and household goods and then a giant partition and on the other side, dancers, interpreting what they're hearing. Only the audience can see both sides. It's a new and different show every performance. I claim credit if anyone actually ever does this.

[@madisondean1074]

I'm an adult dancer at 20 years of age, and because of my busy schedule due to being a full time student in my second year of college, I do virtual lessons. I just got approval for my first pair of pointe shoes about a week ago and when I received the news, I entirely lost my marbles. When I started dancing, I didn't think it'd be possible to go en pointe at my age. But I had gotten comments from other dancers who have far more experience than I do and they've said to me that my feet were beyond impressive, despite's never having taken a ballet class in my life!

[@johannaholmgren8088]

Hahaha, that was hilarious!! I've always wanted to dance ballet. And have the flexibility and strength but I was never put in classes when I was a child, so I've lost out on THAT dream. (Ended up as a nurse instead). But at the end, when the dancer is dancing to household sounds, I just died, my husband is a percussionist (WAS a percussionist; he went into teaching band) and one of the funniest stories he has is about the time he and some other students in University has to do a performance using things like a chainsaw, a vacuum cleaner, egg beater etc while a couple of the other students did interpretive dancing on roller skates. It's the kind of story you have to hear, because it loses a lot just writing it....I've heard the story regularly for years and it's still funny

[@glutenfreebees]

the contemporary teacher one reminded me of a teacher I had who never counted the choreography with numbers, just the weirdest noises to go with each count

Alex Wong is the best. I would give anything to have him do a workshop at my daughter’s studio. OMG.

[@nekograce7914]

I had a modern teacher at university and once a week we had this exercise where we had to dance in a clump (sorta). At all times we had to be dancing but always touching another person. With 20 something dancers it sometimes created just a mass of chaos. But we were comfortable with each other which I think was his point. But he absolutely lived on coffees and crystals. Or maybe matcha.

Oh my gosh, you make me regret having to quit ballet, for context I was bullied out of my dreams of getting to dance on pointe. I was devastated when I returned and hadn’t kept my ankles strong enough to go to my dream, i know that quitting was a mistake but I couldn’t handle my bullies or my teacher after 3 years of being held back, I was 10 in the top ballet group, so 16 plus, and i know that I may never be able to wear my own pair but watching other reach that point is so heart warming.
