Get to the Pointe — pointe shoe fitting

  In case you haven't heard - Josephine is going to be a mom! In preparation for the first baby of ThePointeShop, Josephine sat with San Francisco Ballet Principal, Frances Chung. Chung has 2 babies of her own. In fact, when Josephine started working for SF Ballet as their official shoe fitter, Chung was on maternity leave for her second child.  Then, Josephine saw a video of Frances doing fouettes en pointe with her baby bump.  And months later, the two sit down on a studio floor to talk about babies, ballet, and motherhood. Oh, and pointe shoe hacks of...

This video is a special one. Josephine has an announcement. But before that, of course, let's watch a compilation from the cutest (and safest) corner of the ballet internet.  We love little humans - from the natural turn out and grace, to the awkward little steps, prodigy stars who are seriously unreal, and just tiny tutu babes. Were you able to guess the news? We're so excited. Our Pointe Shop family is expanding. 

So we try to keep out content ballet shoe - specifically pointe shoe - focused of course. And in our tik tok reaction series, we dive deep into the ballet side of the internet. Well, recently, the algorithm has decided to push us into another deep end: the rabbit hole that is bizarre and strange shoes of the internet. This is our first foray into this side of the internet. From the perspective that only we know: is it a ballet shoe?  Because we're pointe shoe fitters, Of course we compare all footwear to a pointe shoe. ;) 

Death to 20s...hello Tik Tok 30! Can you believe that this series is older than the majority of our audience?  Wild lol. We have a variety of the ballet internet for you: dying pointe shoes different colors, a small allusion to cups (thank goodness that's going away), sarcastic commentary on training, and crazy beautiful feet of course.  What would you like to see on this series next? Comment to let us know!

The internet is already known as the wild west...so what does its dance and ballet corner look like? Well, we're here to explore and find out. It looks so easy to dance. It's part of the actual discipline to make ballet look easy. However, there is a lot of work that goes into this seemingly effortless art. And where there is discomfort or internal commentary...there are memes!  Which of these dance memes do you relate to the most?
