Get to the Pointe — pointe shoe fitting

After many moons & many comments, it's finally here: Pointe shoe fitter reacts to rhythmic gymnastics! We love that ballet can cross over into many disciplines. One of the most obvious and daring is rhythmic gymnastics. According to Wikipedia, and unlike its better known counter part, artistic gymnastics, "Rhythmic gymnastics is a sport in which gymnasts perform on a floor with an apparatus: hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon and rope." And there are some moments where dancers are so athletic that they reach and climb on top of their toes! Of course, Josephine has some feelings and reactions about this. We're just...

What wild, wacky, and outrageous things will she see today? Pointe shoe hacks? Beautiful dancing? Confusing dancing? Ballet shoe asmr? Pointe shoes meeting an untimely death?

Josephine reviews the new Bloch ETU! The newest pointe shoe from Bloch, the ETU, is unlike any other pointe shoe!

The ballet internet has given us cringey cups, beautiful dancing, and for this episode  - things dancers do! We love relatable ballet and pointe shoe content. It makes us feel seen and heard.

Ya know, it's a dancer thing. Which of these things do you do? 

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!
