Get to the Pointe — pointe shoe fitting

We've seen the comments. We've seen the DM's. We hear you! This week, we're answering a fan favorite: Josephine reacting to Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses.  She's seen clips from Barbie Nutcracker and Barbie in Swan Lake before, but this has to be the most requested Barbie movie. We're here for the colored pointe shoes. How nostalgic is this for you?

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...

Santa Jo is here! To bring you what you really want...another Tik Tok reaction video! In honor of part 14 of this crazy internet series, a 14 minute video! Join Josephine for another episode of emotional twists and turns as we delve into the ballet internet rabbit hole more, and more, and more, and more...
