Nikolay NeoSmart - Pointe Shoe Review

Josephine reviews the new NeoSmart pointe shoes by Nikolay! The NeoSmart is another variation of the SmartPointe! The SmartPointe featured a wider, more generous box and softer shank than many of the previous Nikolay models. The NeoSmart has a broader box with more room across the metatarsals and generally more volume inside the shoe. This is really great for people with wider feet and, though the 2007 last has been very popular, this new last is much more comfortable for many people. The box of the Nikolay NeoSmart has been shortened a little bit for better roll through. The vamp...

Forced Stretching NEEDS TO STOP

Most people could not make it to the end of this video. And to be honest, Josephine couldn't either. We're ballet lovers here. We love the art, the discipline, the struggle, the beauty, and even the sacrifice. But with all relationships, where are the boundaries? Are there limits to what we should do to achieve this thing we love? Our bodies are finite. They are all different, and while flexible to a certain extend, also brittle. This video features forced stretching that is part of training regiment.  Hyper mobility is prized for aesthetics in ballet, but it comes at a...

Capezio Ava Pointe Shoe Review

Josephine reviews the Ava and Ava Strong pointe shoes, by Capezio! Though Josephine has spoken about this shoe before, this is an updated review! The Capezio Ava is created on a curved last which helps dancers to get over en pointe a bit easier.  The box of this pointe shoe is quite broad, which makes it easy to balance on! The platform is slightly tilted to help dancers get over the box easily. The inside of the box of the Ava has a microfiber lining, which can be a bit tough to sew through, but it is moisture wicking and sticks...

Josephine can't watch Dance Academy

Ah, Nutcracker season.... Can you hear the Overture as everyone is giddy on stage? Can you hear the nuts cracking? Can you hear the pointe shoes snapping? Well, Josephine certainly can in this week's video. We return to another fan favorite: Dance Academy. This time, a touch more drama with a Season 2 episode. Tara, Abigail and Grace are in their frenemies era...and Grace is at it again trying to manipulate those around her to get what she wants (friendship? or control? attention?).  And unfortunately, pointe shoes are involved. Actually - pointe shoes were harmed in the making of this...
