[@Ailieorz]

I've been to that store, they actually refused to fit me. It was a surreal Pretty Woman moment where they took one look at my masc appearance and just went "I'm sorry we can't fit you". Found another store who were lovely and welcoming thankfully

[@JennaGetsCreative]

How rude! Thanks for saying so, so anybody else in the area can make their shopping decisions accordingly. The place my old teacher used to insist we go to was happy to take my money but made sure I knew they didn't approve of my size. (Not obese, just not anorexic and have a naturally large chest, which is annoying as an enby.)

[@liannedehart2889]

Omg that is so rude. I'm happy you got fitted at the other place tho

[@sariankor4584]

That’s very uncool. I’m glad you had a better and more welcoming experience at another store.

[@abiiidraws3292]

thats weird, i know many people, men and women, all shapes and sizes, who got fitted there. The only reasons they would refuse to fit you is if a: They did't have a fitter currently in the store at that moment for some reason b: You were improperly dressed - eg. wearing clothes that are inappropriate with something that the store may not support that shows aggression or smth, or an outfit that stops the fitters being able to see your legs and feet c: You didn't receive the okay from a supported physio who specialises for dancers. I would love to hear why they didn't fit you though, this is definitely bizarre.

[@christineking8860]

Thank you soooo much. I absalutly love your posts. Learning and laughing at same time.... Not to sadden the moment here but thought youd like a little taste of times gone by. Im now in my 60's and back in the day of the 1960, it was seen as only a dream to become a balleriner ( spelling poor sorry). I so wanted lessons. My beloved parents had to esplane to their 6 year old how money had to be used for food first. Then used to keep us in a safe loving home. Any money left at the end of the week went on Dads treat to us. our little bag of sweets. I wasnt a stroppy child. Mum and Dad were such loving people, and raised us brilliantly. Me and my brothers went to a youth club. Free to anyone. Such brilliant Heart felt people. Knowing that their "family" wanted what their parents just couldnt afford, they did their very best to fill our needs. So we put on a play every couple of monthe for our family and local residents. Always a dance routine. Little bunny hops. The boys did lots of marching etc. Judo was introduced and a profesional... name not known here. He did lessons weekly free. He always put in references to 'ballet and football' "do it as if" type of thing. They molded us into positive people. We may not be able to reach our dreams but Parents and Youth leaders never gave up on us. I wanted to go to classes when i was 19. At our local Club. Id just married. Yes.... young married. But the lessons stated never too late. First couple of lessons so much fun. Arobics really but gental movement and flare. My then, now ex... laughed and mocked. So another dream shatterd. In my 20's i lost both parents. Looking through paperwork i came accross two letters . One from mum one from dad to each other. (dad was a lorry driver and had to be away here and there ) Heart renching reading. How they wished they could be better parents and give their kids so much more. My regret of never putting on ballet shoes is still their. Im an amputee so.. not likly now with my lovely one leg. LOL.... But my thoughts now vision those letters. My dream was their dream too. Watching your thoughts and explaining so much really has bought back some fond memoriew and now i understand why our yourth club changed so dramaticly. Foot ball and skipping replaced by adventure into another world. They filled in some missing peases in our lives as bes they could. I have a granddaughter who went to classes for 2 years. only 5 then. she was brillliant and dedicated. She didnt want to go anymore. But did say she would keep her shoes as they were special. Shes 10 now and still twirls and wlks on her toes. Its sstill there but its got to be her dream and not Nansz. Oh well..... i was going to delete as not quite what i expected to flow as i type. But my memories popped up and I hope your ok to let me leave them here. Mnay thanks again..... Next video please. C from Hereford England.

[@monicatuckerman6089]

[@flyingSkyflower]

I'd LOVE to see you reacting to Lindsey Stirlings - Santa Baby (while knowing she isnt a ballet dancer but trained for this video to be on pointe!)

[@jax422]

Oh me, too! Because she’s definitely in the wrong shoe. She can’t get over the box and is pulled back the whole time. I would love to know how Josephine would fix them.

[@sngray11]

It is fascinating to see how the same pointe shoe companies call their shoes different brand names in different countries! Thank you Josephine for always educating us! 🫶🏼

[@El_Ophelia]

Request: Josephine is so much fun to watch. Can you please make your videos longer than the 6-9-minute average time length? Please? She's a joy to watch and a gift to KZbin viewers! Please?

[@azureclay1786]

Yeah in Australia they say it differently. I think it is really cool. 💖💖💖

[@cezza_4]

I have NEVER heard any Australian say that, and I am Aussie dancer. In Dance Academy it is said CORRECTLY. I use that show as an example because it has international acclaim, and provide an example that Australians don't say it like that.

[@justme-qd6qb]

@@cezza_4 yooo it's not that serious, it's cool if you prefer french pronunciation but that doesn't make people who pronounce it differently inferior. Languages are difficult and constantly changing after all!

[@cezza_4]

@@justme-qd6qb yes, and I am an Aussie. To claim that we all say it like that is wrong. The French language actual have strict rules on pronunciation, and have the Academie Francaise which ensure the French langue is used correctly. It is rude to use the incorrect pronunciation due to this fact.

[@alexianem6223]

@@cezza_4 I won’t say it’s rude, personally. But it can be a bit confusing. The way they say fouetté is kinda exaggerated. But yes, obviously if you’re trying to pronounce it as correctly as possible, it’s better and french people will really appreciate ! 😊

[@debbiecagliarini4421]

I am just new to your channel and know absolutely nothing about ballet. I did however get to see the Leningrad Kirov Ballet company when they came to Melbourne Australia to do swan lake and it was magical. Some 50 years later I still have the program and can remember it like it was yesterday. I just want to say how much I love watching you Joesphine, you are just delightful, keep up the vlogs, x

[@annieesther8405]

I wore Blochs back in the early 90s, then quit ballet. After watching your videos I started believing that they might have been the wrong fit. Capezios were more comfortable but because I have a very nice arch, I bought new shoes too often and it got too expensive for my low-income parents. Blochs hurt like hell. So, I stuck to just jazz and tap.

[@goldfinch_xoxo]

Totally not me FREAKING OUT BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I GET MY BALLET STUFF FROM TOO 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@cloverhighfive]

As others pointed out, yes, you say it right (i.e. like the French), foo_eh-tay. And I agree that because English marks the plural orally, it's acceptable to add the s (which is silent in French). Foo_eh-tays. (the foo_eh is in one go. fooeh). I'm also of the opinion there's a balance between being right and being understood ;) but kudos for saying right! Maybe others will love it too! And then you can properly say crème (pronounced krem) fouettée! hahaha (whipped cream)

[@alexianem6223]

To say it like a french, you don’t have to say “-tay”, that’s a different sound. But I can understand it’s hard to pronounce because this sound doesn’t exist in English. French can’t really give examples, all they can do is giving you some words in “-é” and ask Google to pronounce them. 😭

[@maryhelenmoore9283]

I was so surprised when she said "fouette.😅"

[@abiiidraws3292]

I got fitted at that store! The fitters are so nice there!

[@tayschampagne]

i have officially grown even more respect for you than i had before because we had the same reaction to hearing 22 😭

[@npats550]

22 fouettes, at that speed- the control is amazing! If I remember correctly, usually they are done so fast and the momentum adds to the ease and number of revolutions right? Same with any turn like pirouettes?

[@zoew_]

YESS! PLZ more rybka twins videos!!!!

[@chelseeeeeaaaaa]

I SHOP AT THAT STORE OMG

[@btjhlp]

I'm getting my first pair of pointe shoes this saturday, im so excited! (and terrified, i do NOT have the best arches 0_0)

[@jessicadarling808]

I’m from Australia and can safely say that is not how we pronounce ‘fouettés’, let alone how we pronounce most words. These girls have a pretty strong regional accent that is native to the North East Coastal regions of the country. My partner was brought up in that area. He’s in his early 40’s by now and has lived in the more cultured Southern states for over 20 years, but if his sister calls. He forgets himself and slips right back into speaking Australian strine. I think it’s our equivalent to the US Southern states accents. Fouettés are pronounced just as the French have always pronounced them.

[@kangablue4502]

Cultured Southern states? 🤣WOW, that’s a ridiculous thing to say, and not true at all. By the way, the girls are from Perth. You can’t get much further away from North Eastern NSW if you tried 🤦🏼‍♀️.

[@shespeex8413]

Super fun Josephine! I say it somewhere in the middle. My French friend taught me. I’ll record it. 😂

[@forestfairy_666]

I was on that train ride with you! 😂

[@sebsantostefano4337]

Omg that store is where i got fitted! Thats so cool.

[@Hannah-yf2yr]

I'm Australian and I've only ever heard people use the French pronunciation, but from the comments it seems like there are a few ppl who also say foyettay so it might be a regional thing? The Aussie accent does have a tendency to overtake loan words over time so I wouldn't be surprised if we all end up saying it that way eventually

[@caitlinmaree251]

I'm Australian and can confirm we do not say fouettes like that 😅

[@valeriew2934]

My mum used to pull me out of school at lunchtime to get pointe shoes those memories are so special to me 💗🩰

Hi Josephine! I love your videos. Your reactions are always entertaining. Could you please do a review on the new Virtisse shoes? I would love to hear your thoughts on them. I've heard their model Verve is a hybrid of Russian Pointe and Nickolay but feel like nothing anyone has felt before.

[@myahitt1247]

YES I LOVE TRAIN RIDES!!!!!!!!

[@keenbean8428]

I know nothing about ballet or half the terms you use yet I'm thoroughly entertained

[@sophcait]

It's not an Australian thing hahaha! We say it like you do!

[@Трішка]

Interesting to think about identical twins - I guess their bone structure would be very similar, but how different would you expect them to be in how the shoes fit? I suppose injuries and technique over time would affect it.

[@oceaneo4603]

From what I remember, fouttés, pirouettes, any kind of turn is easier on pointes. I carrefully was pushing it for later on, when I had those lovely sh💘es. Therefore I never master the technique. Decades later, my goal is to be able to do more that 2 turns, even on demi-pointes. My calves burn like crazy for days every time I work on it. Muscle memory I guess...

[@hi.im.sophie]

I hear about Grishko so much I didn't realize it wasn't called Grishko everywhere! I don't even know what they're called here in Canada but probably not Grishko if they're not Grishko in the USA. I always tried Blochs and then always ended up in Suffolks.

I'm an Australian and that's what I call them. And I'm a dancer so yea. It depends on maybe where you where taught.

[@hiphopgrl82]

I still call them Grishko and not Nicholay...when did that change here in the states?. I always would wear Grishko 2007 and Gamba G93. My first pair were CHacott. It's been 10 years since being on pointe and want to go back. What would be the best bet in being refitted? I still have a never pair of the Gamba from right before I was injured so I'm not sure if that would be a good idea. Thoughts?

[@sylviaspencer2]

I personally never liked grishko, they work amazing on so many peoples feet but when i got the nova flex i was really struggling to get on the box, i have a decent arch and very strong feet so idk…

[@charlottemorton9488]

I live in Australia and none of my teachers or anyone I know says it that way

[@melissar2164]

The way you say it resembles most to the French word, there definitely isn't any "y" sound when you say it in French. It's funny that it's the first thing you pointed out, I was also wondering why they pronounced it that way when I saw the video. I guess it's the Australian way to say it...

[@oceaneo4603]

Yes. In French, the word would be pronounced in plural the same way it's pronounced in singular. I know in English in oral, we make the difference between singular and plural, not so much in French. Well, I don't think so... I mean I don't wanna to think it through, I would catch an headache... 🤯🤯🤯

A comment about the money. In Australia, we have polymer bills/notes. Based on the value, they're different colours. In the video, they're using $50 notes.

[@kassi5457]

About Energetiks getting the same shoes as Russian Pointe, are the Bravas still being sold by anyone? I know Russian Pointe is no longer selling them, but is the style still being manufactured anywhere? I would love to find some way to get them as they are the perfect shoe for my foot and the Baroque, the Brava 'replacement' does not work for me at all.

[@phyllis5985]

It’s very hard to buy a point shoe in Australia! Not much choice!! Specially in Sydney 😭

[@lemonjuice2439]

I am screaming every time stuff up the pronunciation, not in a good way. I am an Aussie Dancer and we DON'T say that. Example - in Dance Academy it is said CORRECTLY. I use that show as an example because it has international acclaim, and provide an example that Australians don't say it like that.
