Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to "Kids Meet a Ballerina"

This video ticked all the boxes in the "wholesome" category and we even see Josephine shed a few tears when one of the kids reminds her of her little brother! Although the ballerinas does mistakenly say that her pointe shoes are made out of wood (LOL), this is one of the first reactions where Josephine did not have to cringe and watch through her fingers the entire time. Watch the video to see her full reaction!

Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to Nile Wilson (OLYMPIC GYMNAST!!!)

However, with his crazy gymnastics abs, he somehow was able to pull...
