Get to the Pointe

5, 6, 7, 8!  We're back again with another episode of 'The Ballet Internet Traumatizes Josephine Lee' - or in other words, 'pointe shoe fitter reacts to tik tok - PART 8!'  A crowd favorite, Josephine jumps through emotional hula hoops for you...it's a good one - watch to find out!

Do you love our Tik Tok react videos? Thank dancingwithmackenzie!  This week, Josephine reacted to one of the OG ballet YouTubers: dancingwithmackenzie! Josephine's been a long time fan of this dancer/creator, but hadn't seen this particular video. In this skit video, Mackenzie acts out 3 types of dancers at their first pointe shoe fitting. We'll let you watch the video to see how that turns out - but long story short, Josephine found this video SUPER relatable. P.S. Mackenzie might have a future as a pointe shoe fitter ;) 

We've fallen through the Dance Moms YouTube rabbit hole & we can't get out.

This week, we had a little blast from Dance Moms past and had Josephine react to Lily K!

Josephine didn't know any of this of course. She had a lot of fun watching adorable 11 year old Lily portray expectations vs. reality of a first dance class. And while this fun skit included pointe shoes in a first ballet class, we all know that doesn't happen in real life.

This week, we revisited a highly requested series - Dance Moms! The first time Josephine reacted to this hit TV series, loads of comments requested her reaction to Chloe and Maddie - so here we are. It's 2022 and we're trying to give the people what they want. This is for you. The internet has spoken. So be sure to watch!    

This week, we had Josephine react to Dance Memes - sorta like Tik Tok, but older LOL.  Fun fact: Josephine started making dance memes almost 10 years ago, when she first started ThePointeShop! Since then,@thepointeshop Instagram has always had a few ballet memes because we love to laugh. How long have you been on the ballet internet? Do you recognize any of these memes from pre-Instagram/Tumblr days?! Watch to find out!
