Get to the Pointe

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. It has been so encouraging to read everyone's comments - and so many of you have been watching from the beginning!  A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has been with this channel through thick and thin. 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...

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...

We are getting so close to that big milestone... But not quite yet! It's Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to Ballet Tik Tok - 99! A few highlights from this episode: A very outdated take on boys doing ballet European 'dupe' for a pointe shoe? At a store called Decathalon...? Very pink pointe shoe transformation! A "lost" ballet step Some gorgeous ballet variations. Thank you so much for being on this ballet internet journey with us. We are so thankful for your viewership and the positive comments online!

To no one's surprise, all Josephine sees when she goes to the ballet, is feet. That's some real ballet core there, so perhaps we should specify - pointe shoe core! This reaction is not quite pointe shoe hacks, but a variety of clips that are all about pointe shoes. Some highlights include: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader's boot breaking routine that seems very similar to some pointe shoe breaking routines we've seen An actual hole on the platform of someone's pointe shoe - how?! Josephine's petition for a ballet movie night Adults going back to ballet & pursuing their passions!  What do...
