Josephine fits herself for pointe shoes! When Josephine was dancing, it was very difficult for her to dance en pointe, because her feet are so narrow and compressive that she would just sink in every shoe. UNTIL she was finally fit into the Nikolay (Grishko at the time) 2007. At the time, it was the only shoe of its kind. It is a very narrow and tapered shoe, helping Josephine to stay lifted inside her shoes. Since then, many other shoes have come out that are similar to the 2007. However, more recently Nikolay came out with a shoe that...

This week Josephine reacts to Michelle Khare's video "I trained like a ballerina for 6 weeks"! First thing, Michelle put on a very poorly fitted pair of pointe shoes.... Though you should never go on pointe after only training for 6 weeks, we were glad to see that Michelle had hold of the barre while going all the way up in her shoes. Michelle also described this as "the most painful experience of her life." (Don't ever give birth Michelle LOL). While pointe work will come with a certain amount of discomfort, it should never be excruciatingly painful! When fitted correctly,...

Josephine fitted our 2021 Senior Model, Keliah, in 5 different brands of pointe shoes for her to try out! Keliah's type of foot tends to twist in a lot of pointe shoes, because the foot does not sit completely straight in the shoe. The first pair Keliah tried on was the So Danca Elektra. This shoe has interchangeable shanks, so they were able to try both with no shank and with the shank. It fit Keliah pretty well, but it was just slightly too tapered. The next shoe they tried on was the Capezio Ava. This shoe looked really good...
