Get to the Pointe — ballerina

The crossover you didn't know you needed...TwoSet Violin x ThePointeShop!  This week, Josephine gets to fan girl over Australia's most charming classical music nerds - Brett and Eddy. They tried ballet with the iconic Hong Kong Ballet in attempts to learn Four Little Swans from Swan Lake. They've risen from the pit to be on stage...how will they do?  More importantly...how will Josephine react?  Watch to find out!

In this video, our favorite pointe shoe fairy reacts to her magical place - pointe shoe factories around the world. And, she takes you with her, explaining what's going on and why it's important. Which pointe shoe factory was your favorite? 

If you've been a long time viewer, you know that The Pointe Shop is first and foremost, a service company. We prioritize the pointe shoe fitting process - it's about the fit, not the brand.
