Get to the Pointe — ballet

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? 

Here we go again! This week, we've brought back a fan-favorite: Josephine reacts to ballet tik toks!  What will the internet have in store this time? Be sure to keep tagging us so we can keep making these (and traumatizing Josephine lol).

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.

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...

Not sure how we ended up here...but here we are. A little while ago, our producer was tagged in an Instagram ad for a ballet video game. After looking at it once, she tried to go back to it & it had disappeared! So she scoured the App store for a ballet game, and found Ballerina Life 3D. The graphics look identical to the first ad she saw, but the name had been changed. Not sure why or what happened, but as least we found it. And then, Josephine got to play. She got to level 8; our producer had...
