Get to the Pointe — dance moms

Josephine, meet Jo Jo Siwa! Although their names are so similar, Josephine has only caught a glimpse of the fabulous Jo Jo Siwa in past Dance Moms reaction videos.  So this week, we decided to let them meet - digitally of course. Josephine watches Jo Jo take a dance class for the first time in several years. Similarly, Josephine has not taken a dance class in about 20 years either!

While there have been many outrageous scenes and episodes that have aired of that show, today Josephine had the pleasure of watching the episode where the girls on the show go to a ballet audition. Although no one could deny that these young dancers are talented, both Josephine and the audition judges were shocked to see acro, gymnastics, and competiton-esque tricks in, what seemed to be, a ballet audition.  Watch...
