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...

This Is Why Teachers Hate Russian Made Pointe Shoes | Pointe Shoe Review

Josephine reviews the newest pointe shoe from Nikolay/Grishko, the NeoVictory! The stereotype of Russian made pointe shoes is that they are very hard, narrow, loud, and tapered. The Nikolay NeoVictory is the exact opposite! The platform on these pointe shoes is very wide and stable! The vamp and wings are quite high as well, so you get a lot of support and easy balance from the box of this pointe shoe. The inside of the box on the Nikolay NeoVictory has a cushiony microfiber lining for extra comfort!  The throat of these pointe shoes is a wide U-shape, with an elastic drawstring,...

What I REALLY think about the new Bloch ETU | Pointe Shoe Review

Josephine reviews the new Bloch ETU! The newest pointe shoe from Bloch, the ETU, is unlike any other pointe shoe! This pointe shoe is made on a curved and tapered last, so the curve will contour with the shape of your foot! The taper of the pointe shoe's box creates a beautiful shape, but the platform of the shoe is not too small. The platform is pretty wide and flat at the end, making it very stable and easy to balance in! The Bloch ETU currently comes with a suede tip, however, there may be an option soon that comes...

THINGS DANCERS DO *pointe shoe fitter reacts*

The ballet internet has given us cringey cups, beautiful dancing, and for this episode  - things dancers do! We love relatable ballet and pointe shoe content. It makes us feel seen and heard. From toe pads to crazy stretching/flexibility, to long day at competitions, these are the dance experiences that bring us together. Isn't it amazing how pointe shoes bring us all together? Ya know, it's a dancer thing. Which of these things do you do?
