Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to Dance Moms

Josephine reacts to the Dance Moms Joffrey Ballet School audtion! If you have heard anything about dance or reality TV, you have probably heard of the TV show Dance Moms. 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...

Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts To Olivia Rodrigo's "Brutal" Music Video

Josephine reacts to Olivia Rodrigo! In the world of dance there is often two universes people think about: concert dance and commercial dance. Traditionally, ballet is only seen in concert dance, on stage and occasionally in curated films. With that said, ballet has more recently snuck into the other side of the dance universe, with music videos and other commercial projects. One of the music industry's most recent breakout artists, Olivia Rodrigo, is one among many artists who have chosen to use classical ballet in their music videos! Although there is some really lovely ballet moments, there are, of course, also...

This week Josephine reacts to the Netflix series "Tiny Pretty Things"! Though the dancing is beautiful and their depiction of the pointe shoe room is pretty accurate, it is definitely a bit overly dramatic and the dancers are so rude to each other! Most ballerinas are actually very nice :-) Watch the video for Josephine's full review!

Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to Michelle Khare Ballet (yikes!)

This week Josephine reacts to Michelle Khare's video "I trained like a ballerina for 6 weeks"! First thing, Michelle put on a very poorly fitted pair of pointe shoes....  Though you should never go on pointe after only training for 6 weeks, we were glad to see that Michelle had hold of the barre while going all the way up in her shoes. Michelle also described this as "the most painful experience of her life." (Don't ever give birth Michelle LOL). While pointe work will come with a certain amount of discomfort, it should never be excruciatingly painful! When fitted correctly,...
