Get to the Pointe — pointe shoes

As the internet news cycle is ever changing, we are also trying something new.... Buckle up, this isn't our regular content! We've seen these shoes. In fact, our audience has been tagging and sending videos to us.  But here at The Pointe Shop, we try to keep everything ballet related. So in addition to having fun and being a bit silly, we do have to ask an important question: will it pointe shoe??? Josephine tries heelless high heels...pregnant!

It features all the cool little - but sometimes brutal - ways that ballerinas will customize their pointe shoes. Every person's feet...

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?
