Get to the Pointe

'Tis the season to be nutty! The most exciting season for the ballet world also comes with the extra rush & business of the holidays. To celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, we did a second edition of reacting to Nutcracker Tik Toks!

For those of you who have been with our pointe shoe fairy on her journey through the ballet internet from the 'Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to Ballet Tik Tok' - thank you! There was no way of knowing that this series would go for this long...the internet truly is a never-ending black pit of content and has become even deeper as time...
