Per the YouTube algorithm & clickbait, we gave "Hot Takes" a try! However, the most upvoted comment & my personal favorite is as follows: "In Argentina, us dancers have a saying: “tango waits for you” -el tango te espera-. It refers to the fact that anybody, at any age, can begin dancing. " Although this comment refers to a non-ballet style of dance, we share the same sentiment. It is NEVER too late to dance! Don't worry, this video isn't just sentimental takes that aren't that piping...there are some other clips included that lean a little bit more spicy. Do...

This video was posted on April Fool's - but was not a joke! Just a lil deviation from our regular ballet content :) Luckily, it's pretty easy to spot how ballet bleeds into so many different art forms, so this didn't feel like too much of a cry from our normal content. Was fun to dip our toes into another algorithm - thanks to the recent 2026 Winter Olympics! We too, have caught Alysa Liu fever, as her apparent joy in her art form is what we all strive for - ballet or otherwise!  What an amazing example to the...

She's...she's here!!! Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to Ballet Tik Tok's 100th episode! Wow. What a milestone. It's been 6 years borne out of the pandemic, and what a journey! This one is a mix of the ballet internet's greatest hits that we've reacted to, as well as some reflective thoughts about getting here.

So much life has happened for all of us &...

As we know, the ballet internet - and the internet at large - isn't a safe space. There's so much misinformation and inflammatory content that it can be hard to sift through it all to make sense of things. So, when Timothee Chalamet's comments about the ballet and opera went viral not only within the ballet community, but pop culture at large, we chose to take a beat before responding. This video is a usual reaction video, but it's also Josephine's take on the situation. A longer and explained perspective that might be a hot take - that Timothee's comments...

The top comment on this video, a little over 24 hours after posting is: "I thought this was tiktok 100 and got really excited 😭" We're almost there....not quite yet! In this episode of Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts, we are gathered here today to celebrate and bond over the thing that holds us together: ballet trauma. Some highlights include: differing terminology over dance steps how crazy it must sound to non-ballet people when we talk about ballet things the absolute menace that is losing your drawstring in your pointe shoes actively trying to avoid hitting the barre during pirouettes aging...
