Josephine reviews the new Bloch ETU! The newest pointe shoe from Bloch, the ETU, is unlike any other pointe shoe! This pointe shoe is made on a curved and tapered last, so the curve will contour with the shape of your foot! The taper of the pointe shoe's box creates a beautiful shape, but the platform of the shoe is not too small. The platform is pretty wide and flat at the end, making it very stable and easy to balance in! The Bloch ETU currently comes with a suede tip, however, there may be an option soon that comes...

Ballet is so beautiful, so ethereal, so....challenging! And with great challenge comes great success...and failure. There's no way to achieve greatness without so much practice, and trial and error. And sometimes error can be hilarious! In a world that can seem hypercompetitve and stressful, it's healthy to be able to laugh at yourself. Even better when you can share the giggles with everyone! Which clip is your favorite? Do you have a hilarious ballet fail? Be sure to share in the comments!

What started as a cringe challenge has just becoming the cringiest of the ballet internet. And we like it. On this week's episode of "Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts," Josephine looks at some truly horrifying tik toks. Nothing like a little scare to spice up the spooky season and prepare for the holidays. Of course you have your classic cups, dead pointe shoes, and possibly worst of all...the bare knuckle/toe standing. Brb, gotta throw up. Which clip did you think was the scariest? Be sure to comment to let us know!

The ballet internet has given us cringey cups, beautiful dancing, and for this episode  - things dancers do! We love relatable ballet and pointe shoe content. It makes us feel seen and heard. From toe pads to crazy stretching/flexibility, to long day at competitions, these are the dance experiences that bring us together. Isn't it amazing how pointe shoes bring us all together? Ya know, it's a dancer thing. Which of these things do you do?
