BALLET TIK TOK SURVIVES! pointe shoe fitter reacts 54!

What a week with Tik Tok, amirite?

Well luckily, your favorite ballet internet series is still here - and not going anywhere as far as we're concerned!

Such a fun mix of dance content to capture all the emotions: from fun mushroom choreography for kids, a cool Wicked ballet cameo, trendy silly soundbites, and of course, all the fun pointe shoe things!

And since we're keeping up with the times, a fun little summary from Gemini AI:

"This video is a reaction video by Josephine from The Pointe Shop to a TikTok video of a ballet performance. She is very impressed by the performance and finds it to be very cute and creative. She also talks about her own experiences with pointe shoes and how she is always looking for new and innovative ways to use them. She ends the video by thanking the creators of the TikTok video and encouraging her viewers to go out and find more creative ways to use pointe shoes."

Lastly, we're so excited that Mackenzie Davis (dancingwithmackenzie) stopped by our San Diego location - Dancer's Choice - for a fitting with our senior fitter, Gg. It's actually Mackenzie's second time stopping by to try shoes and Freed makers. We're so excited when our worlds collide!

In addition to the thermo-formable shank, the DreamPointe also is slightly more generous across the metatarsal than the 2007/Allure, and contains a slightly wider platform, making it an easier shoe to balance on.
