Get to the Pointe — thepointeshop

The long awaited crossover is here - Josephine reacting to the AMAZING Master Ballet Academy. There must be something in the water in Arizona because these kids are incredible. We are also so lucky to have a dancer from Master Ballet be one of our Ambassadors this year - Miss Tova Tustin!  Eva Nys and Master Ballet have so much fun content to watch! It's a great slice of the ballet internet pie: crazy flexibility, tons of turns, challenges/jokes, and of course, pointe shoes! Which clip was your favorite?

We're on a roll with the clock app - The ballet internet's favorite series: Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to Ballet Tik Toks - part 43!  Join our favorite pointe shoe fairy on another journey into the unknown of the ballet internet. We'll be looking for pointe shoes of course, as well as memes, pretty stuff, funny content, and perhaps a sprinkle of some trauma at the end... What shall we find?!  Watch to find out, on this week's video!

In honor of Youth American Grand Prix (YAGP)'s 25th Anniversary, we are watching some future stars of ballet from the 2024 Finals! Dancers from all over the world flock to New York City's illustrious Lincoln Center to compete.  This episode, the pre-competitive category! Aka, the tiny dancers! Josephine, your resident pointe shoe fairy & favorite ballet commentator, watches clips of the top 3 winners in this category. Which was your favorite? Can you imagine them in pointe shoes? 

We're back in the San Francisco Shoe Room for this one! In our never-ending cruise along the banks of the ballet internet, we take a delightful little detour to visit the artistry of Australian Ballet. Uploaded to YouTube in 2019, Josephine gets to watch "A to Z En Pointe." This delightful and cinematic video takes a ballet spin on the 26 characters of the Latin alphabet. Which letter bit is your favorite?

We're taking a little detour from the ballet internet to watch, well, just ballet! If we don't give Josephine a palette cleanser from time to time, she won't be able to survive out here in the ballet wilds haha. So we have some famous excerpts from Giselle, Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet! All productions from The Royal Ballet - one of the most stunning and incredible ballet companies in the world. What do you think of this format? Do you like hearing Josephine explain ballet? What ballets should we watch next?
