Get to the Pointe — Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts

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. Her parents enrolled her in dance when she was young, which began her journey with dance. Everyone online is buzzing on how beautiful and inspirational her story is, and rightfully so. 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.

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 ;)

This was our holiday gift to you <3 (Two Tik Tok reactions this month :) As the year comes to a close, we reflect on the ballet internet we've seen. From the ever increasing threat of cups, dead pointe shoes, and confusing content - it's been a good one. Thank you all for watching & going along this journey with us.  It's been a good one....if not a traumatizing one hehe

Not sure how we ended up here...but here we are. A little while ago, our producer was tagged in an Instagram ad for a ballet video game. After looking at it once, she tried to go back to it & it had disappeared! So she scoured the App store for a ballet game, and found Ballerina Life 3D. The graphics look identical to the first ad she saw, but the name had been changed. Not sure why or what happened, but as least we found it. And then, Josephine got to play. She got to level 8; our producer had...
