pointe shoe fitter reacts to BALLET TIKTOK 32

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?...

Nikolay NeoSmart - Pointe Shoe Review

Josephine reviews the new NeoSmart pointe shoes by Nikolay! The NeoSmart is another variation of the SmartPointe!

The inside of the box of the Ava has a microfiber lining, which can be a bit tough to sew through, but it is moisture wicking and sticks...
