Get to the Pointe — pointe shoe fitter

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. More specifically Tik Tok reaction videos were born. However, this whole time, pointe shoe fittings are happening constantly. They just weren't captured on camera. But for this video, we connected with 2022 Junior Model, Samantha Striplin! She has...

Y'all flooded our DM's, e-mail inboxes, and tagged us in the mentions - we heard you and delivered.  This week, Josephine watched a very special performance from America's Got Talent All Stars.  Vitoria Bueno is from Brazil and was born without arms.

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...

It's not a secret that we love the Rybka Twins. Today, we've introduced Josephine to a new set of twins - Brooklyn and Bailey! Now, the premise of this video is questionable - having non-dancers try pointe? But, if you're going to do it, it might as well be with 2 pairs of twins, the experienced Rybka Twins, and their mom - the Rybka Twins' coach. You'll have to watch the video to see what Josephine thinks and how it all goes.  However, please note that ThePointeShop does not endorse people trying others' pointe shoes with or without training. Just...

Ooh la la! Are you ready to get *fancy*? This week, Josephine watched Fancy Nancy from Disney Junior. Originally a popular children's book by Jane O'Connor, the show follows 6 year old Nancy Clancy who enjoys all things fancy. One of those fancy things, is of course, ballet! Can Josephine handle all the fanciness? We had to give her a costume to get in character of course ;)
