Get to the Pointe — ballet

We've seen the comments. We know what you want. The 'pointe shoe fitter reacts' series started with ballet tik toks. And that created the lore of cups - non dancers (and some trained dancers) using cups with socks of them to use them as 'pointe shoes.'  And the birth of pointe shoe cups led to Josephine's trauma and cringe era...which will likely never end. So, here it is, in its purest form. Just cringey ballet tik toks and Josephine. Enjoy (?). Be sure to comment if you like this video & want it to become a series!

When ballet gets broadcasted on television, there's a formula and we know it now.  Take an outstanding ballerina human, give them some non dancers. Teach and/or challenge them to do some ballet, then throw them into some pointe shoes. Attempt to go en pointe so they feel some pain, laugh, teach them a few 8 counts of choreography - usually from The Nutcracker. And make lots of jokes in between. So we know this format, and we keep watching it. When done well, it can be lighthearted, informational, and sweet. But at what pointe does a fun gimmick turn into...

Here we go... Josephine reacts to the ballet internet, part TWENTY-SIX. That's older than half of our viewership.  Pointe shoe asmr, ballet jokes, studio memes, gorgeous dancing, and more! Including, a slight roast on Josephine. But why??? What beef could the internet have with our beloved pointe shoe fairy? Guess ya gotta watch to find out!

How do you define artistry?  The internet has LOVED seeing a more circus-y take on ballet and pointe shoes. However, some claim that it's just tricks and acrobatics, and not art. Is it possible for both to exist at the same time?  In this reaction, Josephine looks at more content of this sort of genre and brings this discussion up. What do you think?

Is our Ballet Tik Tok series older than you??? It's Episode 25 of Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts! What will be in store this time?  Beautiful dancing, memes, relatable ballet jokes, cute baby ballerinas, and a little bit of ballet trauma of course. How long will this series go until? As long as the ballet internet keeps creating, we'll keep reacting!
