Get to the Pointe

It's been a few weeks since Tik Tok 100, and with that, we've been diving into other categories of the ballet internet.  And this week's video is arguably the type of content that Josephine wanted to watch in the beginning - before the the Tik Tok series went viral. Some highlights from this video: Are dancers just getting better? A once in a generation dancer: Chloe Misseldine Seeing traces of ballet in other disciplines  How do non-dance audience members see or appreciate ballet?  The impacts and influences of ballet on social media is a big topic to discuss for another...

With the rise of balletcore in the fashion industry, there has been a new wave of adults either trying ballet for the first time or going back to a childhood passion. Is this a good thing?

Don't worry, this video isn't just sentimental takes that aren't that piping...there are some other clips included that lean a little bit more spicy. Do...

This video was posted on April Fool's - but was not a joke! Just a lil deviation from our regular ballet content :) Luckily, it's pretty easy to spot how ballet bleeds into so many different art forms, so this didn't feel like too much of a cry from our normal content. Was fun to dip our toes into another algorithm - thanks to the recent 2026 Winter Olympics! We too, have caught Alysa Liu fever, as her apparent joy in her art form is what we all strive for - ballet or otherwise!  What an amazing example to the...

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 &...
