Hey pointe shoe nerds! Your fave pointe shoe fairy reporting for duty - and this week, we're revisiting Josephine's favorite series: pointe shoe hacks! For those who don't know, pointe shoe hacks are the alterations and handicraft tricks that ballerinas do to customize their pointe shoes.  On top of the shoes being handmade and highly specific, ballerinas have lots of tips and tricks to make the shoes more comfortable and to suit their specific needs.

Eighty. Eight. Zero. Let that sink in. Are we...geriatric? (LOL JK) Soo we've made it to Tik Tok 80. Are we old now?

We know the tea: ballet core can be cringey at times. The ribbons go crazy and sometimes the shoes can be a bit much. But once in a rare while...some cool creations show up!...

We're back with your favorite ballet series!  And everyone's favorite lil baby commentator: Dio!  As we approach the 80's of this series, the ballet internet is getting...weird. There's the usual dance memes, pointe shoe glamour, gorgeous dancing, some 90's nostalgia, and then some other shoe related content... The algorithm is trying new things for our producer's feed! What do we think of this ballet internet trail mix? Do we like? Or could be do without? Let us know in the comments!

Another day, another Josephine vs. the ballet internet, amirite?  There's some seriously cute content in this one, the usual funny stuff & commentary.
