Get to the Pointe — ballet

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...

As the internet news cycle is ever changing, we are also trying something new.... Buckle up, this isn't our regular content! We've seen these shoes. In fact, our audience has been tagging and sending videos to us.  But here at The Pointe Shop, we try to keep everything ballet related. So in addition to having fun and being a bit silly, we do have to ask an important question: will it pointe shoe??? Josephine tries heelless high heels...pregnant! Will these be easier to balance in than pointe shoes? Which on is taller? All things we explore in this video. What...

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?...

  In case you haven't heard - Josephine is going to be a mom! In preparation for the first baby of ThePointeShop, Josephine sat with San Francisco Ballet Principal, Frances Chung. Chung has 2 babies of her own. In fact, when Josephine started working for SF Ballet as their official shoe fitter, Chung was on maternity leave for her second child.  Then, Josephine saw a video of Frances doing fouettes en pointe with her baby bump.  And months later, the two sit down on a studio floor to talk about babies, ballet, and motherhood. Oh, and pointe shoe hacks of...

Is the fact that Tik Tok 31 exists...psychopath behavior? Just kidding, hehe. We keep making these reactions because they keep getting watched! And for today, something refreshing: a non-cringe Tik Tok reaction. It was about time that our favorite pointe shoe fitter got to take a break (especially with a new family member on the way!) Although, these is one clip that does could be, maybe a little, traumatizing. Pointe shoes without toe pads?!  Also, what are chux?! So many questions. So much ballet internet. Enjoy!
