Get to the Pointe — pointe shoe fitter

We've seen the comments. We know what you want. The 'pointe shoe fitter reacts' series started with ballet tik toks. And that created the lore of cups - non dancers (and some trained dancers) using cups with socks of them to use them as 'pointe shoes.'  And the birth of pointe shoe cups led to Josephine's trauma and cringe era...which will likely never end. So, here it is, in its purest form. Just cringey ballet tik toks and Josephine. Enjoy (?). Be sure to comment if you like this video & want it to become a series!

When ballet gets broadcasted on television, there's a formula and we know it now.  Take an outstanding ballerina human, give them some non dancers. Teach and/or challenge them to do some ballet, then throw them into some pointe shoes. Attempt to go en pointe so they feel some pain, laugh, teach them a few 8 counts of choreography - usually from The Nutcracker. And make lots of jokes in between.

Here we go... Josephine reacts to the ballet internet, part TWENTY-SIX. That's older than half of our viewership.  Pointe shoe asmr, ballet jokes, studio memes, gorgeous dancing, and more! Including, a slight roast on Josephine. But why??? What beef could the internet have with our beloved pointe shoe fairy? Guess ya gotta watch to find out!

Is our Ballet Tik Tok series older than you??? It's Episode 25 of Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts! What will be in store this time?  Beautiful dancing, memes, relatable ballet jokes, cute baby ballerinas, and a little bit of ballet trauma of course. How long will this series go until? As long as the ballet internet keeps creating, we'll keep reacting! 

We love boys who do ballet. But do we love boys who do pointe? In this episode of 'Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts,' we scoured the ballet internet for our favorite ballet boys. And good news - lots of men are dancing en pointe now! Pointe is for everyone! And though it's been gendered as a skill women mostly accomplish, we love seeing men en pointe. Albeit, possibly a touch annoyed because they are SO good. Historically, high heels were worn by men of the French court and aristocracy. So even high heels, as common and coded  as 'feminine' as they...
