pointe shoe fitter vs BALLET TIK TOKS (part 8!)

[@ThePointeShop]

Hey everyone! Just a heads up - the video goes mute in 2 spots due to copyright claim to the music. During this section, Josephine is just reading the text from the Tik Tok - so thankfully her commentary wasn't affected. Hope you can still enjoy! Thanks so much for watching! ♥🩰

Omg the pointe tap shoes! I remember going to a dance competition when I was 11 (2004/2005) where we competed against a team that did a group dance in them…my mind was blown. I was like “Welp…I guess WE lost…” 😂

[@tracyrain4941]

I love these videos. I'm not a dancer, never even been in the same room as a pointe shoe, but Josephine is a compelling watch! She's funny and always comments positively. I am sorry, however, she's so traumatised by cups! Maybe a counselling session ot two would help?! 🤔 🤭😊 Keep the tiktok reaction vids coming and I'll keep watching...deal?! 😊❤

[@claire2088]

Josephine's "Nooooooo!!" when those cups hit the floor, he'd not even said what the plan was but she knew the horror that was coming her way 😂

[@chiara4243]

Omg video idea! What if Josephine guesses what shoe brands and maybe even styles we wear? We can send in pictures without the soles showing and it can be kind of a quiz :)

[@Christina-ok8zd]

Allow me to introduce myself. When I was 5 years old, I danced ballet for a year. I then quit because I moved to different country. I then figure skated for about 6 months, maybe a little more. Later on I swam competitively, eventually ended up dancing hip-hop at my school and at a local studio for nearly 2 years! I am currently 13 and I will be turning 14 this month, on the 18th! I recently joined a professional ballet school in the vicinity, I am really enjoying my lessons (3 times a week, 1 hour and 30 minutes). At the moment, I am in a group with 10 year olds however, my teacher had told me that she will put me into a group that's around my age (the girls there are already en pointe). Tomorrow I will be having my 6th lesson, and I'm really excited. I do a deep stretch daily, that lasts nearly 2 hours. On the contrary, I do some pilates to further aid me. I try my best at class every time, I try to remember all of my corrections, I also rehearse what I did at class at home. I'm already begging to see changes, my flexibility has improved immensely, my strength has increased, my coordination and my overall performance. I feel stronger than before, I also see my self losing weight in specific locations. I am really trying to stay dedicated to ballet, and I have begun taking it much more seriously. I would appreciate any kind of advice, thank you for reading this lengthy comment of mine. I wish you all a good day, or night.

[@isabellamadrigal4785]

This is so cool! Good luck to you in ballet!

[@shondig]

my only question is HOW DO YOU HAVE TIME TO DO A 2 HR STRETCH EVERY DAY??? mine last like 20 mins LMAO

[@aves9761]

I love your story!! I turned 13 recently and will also be 14 this year! I started ballet when I was 12 and will most likely go en pointe in a year. I love ballet it’s so fun and yet so structured. Good luck in your new class!

[@raythething9112]

The first sentence had me lol! About not recognising the face but definitely the feet. I love these tik tok reactions too, nobody does them better, and it's authentic as well. The red tap shoes was amazing! I bought some years ago just for the pretty factor! And the next video with the different colours and type of shoes, the lace up taps etc. Now xrays- that's my area having worked previously in healthcare! More time tok reaction vids- yes please!!!

[@lulujacob4186]

Love the tiktok reaction videos. I would also love to know more about pointe shoes for ballet dancers who already have bunions. I have been struggling to find the perfect pair.

She is the cutest and my favorite for ever and so knowledgeable!!!

The second person shown is from a family that lives in poverty but they really want to dance. Some people got together to get them new shoes and lessons I think.

[@IndianaBananas]

I love how she immediately knew what was about to happen at 2:58

[@shariwelch8760]

LOL I went to ballet class in the 70's, we had a strict uniform - black leotard, pink tights under the leotard, pink leather shoes. Period! We did all look the same. The teacher had a long stick that he beat on the floor to keep time, and he would use it to correct us instead of touching us. At least we had a real pianist.

[@ellenbrunot3802]

Dear Shari, I'm as old as you because I remember similar uniform. However my teacher was a sweet little nymph named Mrs Cole who used her old dead shoes as doorknobs in her studio and house. I loved all her white hair and the fact she kept every costume in a room in her house. Magic :-)

[@niseplank4527]

I'm struggling to imagine pointe shoe doorknobs.

[@crt5058]

I keep all of my pointe shoes and get shadow boxes from Michaels and frame them all, it looks super cool especially if you fix them up a little and paint them, or use foundation so they look nicer

[@cookiesxcream2109]

yessss! i love this type of videos!!!! i was waiting for part 8! i really like when you react to ballet tik toks!

[@sailorxyz]

I honestly love these reaction videos 😂 the cup trauma is very real. I do have to wonder though, since you're so good with feet and all, would you be able to distinguish a ballet dancer's feet from a non-dancer who may have feet that look like they dance? One of my favorite KZbinrs TwoSetViolin just did a concept trying to determine what (if any) instrument someone played based on their hands and honestly its a pretty cool concept. I wonder if it could be applied to feet 🤔

[@SimpleDesertRose]

Josephine *hyperventilating because of the cups* guys i'm so traumatized right now. I have to drink from a drink box. 😂😂

[@Uma_The_Frog]

[@madisondean1074]

I feel so bad for the girl in the second Tik Tok. Not being able to afford a new pair of pointe is heartbreaking to me. If this is possible, I want everyone to come together and raise enough money to get this lovely ballerina all the supplies she needs! Pointe shoes included!

6:46 My ballet teacher said I have short enough toes that I don't need a spacer. I do have a big gap between my big toe and my 2nd toe, so we tried spacers when I first went on pointe but they were to long for my toes and far to uncomfortable

[@himynameishelen]

With regards to the ortho TikTok; I wonder if dancers who are students now will have the same issue in 10-20 years that current professional ballet dancers do, because shoes and accessories/the attitude towards “you will be in pain, deal with it” have all changed a lot in a relatively short space of time.

While Toe-tap is cool to watch. It is very destructive to the knees. Your knees have to be bent all the time in order to get the taps to make sounds.

If you're scared of tap on pointe, you should go watch some Irish dance tik tok. .... we do point work in our hard shoes, (make noise similar to tap shoes, but built with a thick flat toe so we can go up on point)

Unless WWIII happens, this series needs to hit 3 digits! 😆😆

[@justcallmejessz3712]

7:50 I used to shower with my new soccer cleats as soon as I got them. I'd tie them up the same way I would for gametime and completely soak them through. Leaving them on and occasionally tightening the laces throughout the night. The leather would form to my foot and skip the "blister stage" of new cleats. Disclaimer - this only works with REAL QUALITY LEATHER. ((Kangaroo leather was popular when I was playing and I preferred it as well. So this is what my shoes were.)) Also - I take no responsibility for the beating you get when your parents find you in the shower with brand new shoes on.

Wow tap ballet 🩰 what!!! Amazing 🤩

[@cardinalrobbins9453]

Wow. I remember seeing dancers in the 1940s with 'toe shoe taps,' and some of the dancers were AMAZING. The taps were much smaller than the ones in this video. The 'dead toe shoes' thing really cracked me up, because I had a pair that were soooooo dead I held them together with DUCT TAPE! Why? Because it was a pair that felt incredibly good on my feet and I wore them only to dance on a concrete floor. (Which did NOT happen very often at all.) I miss my ballet days even more than my tap dancing days. MS kind of sucks sometimes.

[@synfexia]

7:10 This is the biggest reason why I’m not allowed to do ballet because I have flat feet so I walk inverted and have been since I started walking 💀💀
