Ever wondered what the pros think of all those ballet TikToks? Well, wonder no more!
Josephine and sweet baby Dio from The Pointe Shop are here to give us their hilarious and insightful reactions to a whole bunch of ballet-related clips.
Things kick things off by watching dancers showing off some seriously amazing footwork and pointe technique [00:17]. Of course, they've got to give their expert opinions on the dancers' skills and, naturally, the pointe shoes themselves [00:30].
But it's not all flawless technique! They also react to a video of someone trying on pointe shoes for the very first time as an adult [02:19]. Let's make sure we never stop emphasizing the importance of taking classes and learning the proper way.
Hijab-Wearing Ballerinas and Pre-Show Naps?
The video keeps the fun rolling with more TikToks, including a clip of Singapore's first hijab-wearing ballerinas [05:29]! Talk about breaking barriers! And who knew a professional ballerina's pre-show routine could include a nap [06:03]? Sounds like the life!
Saran Wrap Feet? Uh Oh!
Things take a slightly more serious turn when they come across a TikTok showing someone stretching their feet with Saran Wrap on her calf for some reason [07:08]. Josephine is quick to point out that this method can actually weaken your feet – definitely not the kind of stretching you want to be doing!
This video is a fun peek into the world of ballet through the lens of TikTok, with some expert commentary thrown in for good measure. What is your favorite bit?
