Get to the Pointe — Ballet TikTok

What a week with Tik Tok, amirite?

Well luckily, your favorite ballet internet series is still here - and not going anywhere as far as we're concerned!

Such a fun mix of dance content to capture all the emotions: from fun mushroom choreography for kids, a cool Wicked ballet cameo, trendy silly soundbites, and of course, all the fun pointe shoe things!

And since we're keeping up with the times, a fun little summary from Gemini AI:

"This video is a reaction video by Josephine from The Pointe Shop to a TikTok video of a ballet performance. She is very impressed by the performance and finds it to be very cute and creative. She also talks about her own experiences with pointe shoes and how she is always looking for new and innovative ways to use them. She ends the video by thanking the creators of the TikTok video and encouraging her viewers to go out and find more creative ways to use pointe shoes."

Lastly, we're so excited that Mackenzie Davis (dancingwithmackenzie) stopped by our San Diego location - Dancer's Choice - for a fitting with our senior fitter, Gg. It's actually Mackenzie's second time stopping by to try shoes and Freed makers. We're so excited when our worlds collide! 

Another year, another set of Tik Tok reactions!  In part 54, we join our favorite pointe shoe fitter for a seasoned selection of the ballet internet's finest: pointe shoes, ballet core, dating in dance, and backstage costume hacks! What bit is your fave? And....shall this series continue even if Tik Tok the app does not...?!

Can't believe we're here. Half a century old. Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to Ballet Tik Toks - PART 50! With a little special guest appearance, this video is a landmark in our ballet internet journey. What started as a text from Josephine saying "let's try reacting to ballet tik tok videos" has grown into our most popular (and hilarious we might add) series on our YouTube channel. We know this isn't what our channel started with. But a huge part of our mission and brand is about making ballet accessible to everyone.  Specifically with pointe shoe fitting, we want ballet...

So much has happened since this series began. THANK YOU to everyone who has been watching and coming on this journey with us. This episode of pointe shoe fitter reacts to Ballet Tik Tok debuts as we enter the last month of the year. It is simultaneously the notoriously busy Nutcracker season as well as a time that may feel sooo slow as we impatiently await the holidays and break. What has been your favorite bit from this series? Let us know in the comments!

Happy holidays! With Thanksgiving this week, why not have some laughs and cheer...and maybe a bit of trauma with that turkey? Ahh, feels like thanksgiving doesn't it?  Technically the ballet world has been in Nutcracker season for a while now, which is our equivalent of the holidays. So grab some leftovers from the fridge, a blanket, and snuggle up with Josephine for another episode of the ballet internet's favorite variety show...pointe shoe fitter reacts to ballet tik tok!
