Get to the Pointe — ballerina

It's February and the month of love! To celebrate, Josephine watched the ICONIC and hilarious Tart Adage from the Royal Ballet. In this balletic version of Alice in Wonderland, the Queen of Hearts is danced by Zenaida Yenowski. Yenowksi originated this role and steals the show with her impecable technique and over-the-top comedy. Who knew going to the ballet could be so funny?! What made you fall in love with ballet? 

This week - a pointe shoe fitting video! Yay! Your comments asking for more fitting videos are seen. Originally, we had to step away from this format back in 2020 during the pandemic. There were a few attempts with masks and captions, but scheduling got tricky. But when one door closes (at least temporarily), another opens! And thus, reaction videos were born. More specifically Tik Tok reaction videos were born. However, this whole time, pointe shoe fittings are happening constantly. They just weren't captured on camera. But for this video, we connected with 2022 Junior Model, Samantha Striplin! She has...

Y'all flooded our DM's, e-mail inboxes, and tagged us in the mentions - we heard you and delivered.  This week, Josephine watched a very special performance from America's Got Talent All Stars.  Vitoria Bueno is from Brazil and was born without arms. Her parents enrolled her in dance when she was young, which began her journey with dance. Everyone online is buzzing on how beautiful and inspirational her story is, and rightfully so. But what Josephine brings is the ballet perspective. And WOW! It's hard enough to dance en pointe with all four limbs. But what people may not realize...

"My toxic trait is that I can only look at feet while watching ballet." Yup. That about sums it up. Santa's been in communication with us, and we know y'all want more Barbie content! We're working on it for the new year, but for now - here's the grand pas from the first ever Barbie movie. Since this movie was released Barbie of Swan Lake (the first Barbie ballet movie Josephine reacted to), the animation and graphics are a little less realistic. And so, you can imagine what the pointe shoes look like too haha! Have a happy holiday &...

We know what y'all want for Christmas...reaction videos of course! And pointe shoes too duh. This week, Josephine virtually met Lindsey Stirling. This amazing Youtuber-Violinist-Dancer has been on the platform for a while now, with amazing covers to popular songs. This week: Santa Baby. In this cheeky classical-pop rendition of the holiday favorite, Lindsey dons some pointe shoes. And so, Josephine had to take a look. Are you a Lindsey Stirling fan? What do you think of her use of pointe shoes in this music video? Let us know!
