Reacting to POINTE SHOE SURGERY

We just need to highlight this comment from one of our viewers: "@TheTimHall" said: "Ballet Dancer Breaking In A New Car:- Rips out the seats. - Jumps up and down on the hood. - Drives the car down some steps. - Drives it for 1 day. - Buy a new car..." Yep. That pretty much summarizes pointe shoes hacks - but thank goodness it's a shoe and not a car!  This is Josephine's favorite series to react to. It features all the cool little - but sometimes brutal - ways that ballerinas will customize their pointe shoes. Every person's feet...

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.

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.
