Get to the Pointe

It's not a secret that we love the Rybka Twins. Today, we've introduced Josephine to a new set of twins - Brooklyn and Bailey! Now, the premise of this video is questionable - having non-dancers try pointe? But, if you're going to do it, it might as well be with 2 pairs of twins, the experienced Rybka Twins, and their mom - the Rybka Twins' coach. You'll have to watch the video to see what Josephine thinks and how it all goes.  However, please note that ThePointeShop does not endorse people trying others' pointe shoes with or without training. Just...

If you don't like to look at feet...not sure why you're here. But if you REALLY don't like to look at deformed feet - you may need to approach this video with caution. In this video, Josephine watched an episode of TLC's series, My Feet Hurt, that highlights a ballerina.  This is the stuff of parents' nightmares when their kids are put onto pointe. The dancer in this video has MAJOR bunions, medically known as hallus valgus. To be clear: properly fit pointe shoes do NOT cause bunions.  How will Josephine react? It's a little trippy to look at!

Ooh la la! Are you ready to get *fancy*? This week, Josephine watched Fancy Nancy from Disney Junior. Originally a popular children's book by Jane O'Connor, the show follows 6 year old Nancy Clancy who enjoys all things fancy. One of those fancy things, is of course, ballet! Can Josephine handle all the fanciness? We had to give her a costume to get in character of course ;)

This was our holiday gift to you <3 (Two Tik Tok reactions this month :) As the year comes to a close, we reflect on the ballet internet we've seen. From the ever increasing threat of cups, dead pointe shoes, and confusing content - it's been a good one. Thank you all for watching & going along this journey with us.  It's been a good one....if not a traumatizing one hehe

Not sure how we ended up here...but here we are. A little while ago, our producer was tagged in an Instagram ad for a ballet video game. After looking at it once, she tried to go back to it & it had disappeared! So she scoured the App store for a ballet game, and found Ballerina Life 3D. The graphics look identical to the first ad she saw, but the name had been changed. Not sure why or what happened, but as least we found it. And then, Josephine got to play. She got to level 8; our producer had...
