Get to the Pointe — Ballet TikTok

A short and quick episode for the holiday - be sure to give screens a break and spend time with loved ones! Josephine is enjoying being a mother to our first Pointe Shop Baby, Dio! Is it me, or has the ballet internet somehow become more wholesome? We have our classics of course - the memes and pointe shoe hacks. And now we get some cool fusion stuff too like ballet shapes on a pole and FINALLY stepping into the future by normalizing men en pointe!  It's been a while since Josephine has been traumatized by the ballet internet. And...

The top voted comment on this video sums it up nicely: "I'm starting to enjoy these TikTok reaction videos" Only took 37 videos Josephine" - @PortobelloPink In this episode of Josephine versus the ballet internet, we touch on the usual topics: pointe shoes, toe stuff, gorgeous dancing, and interesting costumes.  We also take a moment to listen to Misty Copeland and the fact that she does NOT wear toe pads. She also speaks about "European Pink" - the name of a pointe satin by a certain brand. Copeland has been and continues to be a voice about inclusion and diversity in...

It's that time again...Tik Tok Time! Can you believe we're on Part 34?!  The internet has been nicer to us recently.  If you're subscribed and see our posts on YouTube Community, we did a fun little callback to Cups on April 1st.

Extreme pointe shoe hacks? Will cups make a comeback? What's your favorite slice of that ballet internet pie?

Somethings will never change, and that will be the ballet internet creating funny and informative content - albeit, sometimes more of one than the other. So long as the ballet internet keeps turning, these tik tok reactions will keep on coming. Fun fact: when producer Jazley Faith filmed this with Josephine, she has no idea that there was a baby on the way. So while standing in a chilly production studio, she was impressed at Josephine's big and emotional reactions. About a month later, Josephine would tell the team the news, and it all made sense. So it's interesting editing and...

Reacting to Ballet Tik Tok...the series that won't quit (thank the pointe shoe gods). This week, we take a little breather from the Mama Jo series, to take a quick dip into the ballet internet pool. What's great is that anyone can enjoy ballet content. It's been incredible for platforms like Tik Tok and Instagram to give us all a peek behind the curtain of ballet at all levels. So long are the days of gate kept ballet talent - it's amazing to see dancers all over the world share their journey. What's your favorite part of ballet tik tok?...
