Most people could not make it to the end of this video. And to be honest, Josephine couldn't either. We're ballet lovers here.

The platform is slightly tilted to help dancers get over the box easily. The inside of the box of the Ava has a microfiber lining, which can be a bit tough to sew through, but it is moisture wicking and sticks...

Josephine can't watch Dance Academy

Ah, Nutcracker season.... Can you hear the Overture as everyone is giddy on stage? Can you hear the nuts cracking? Can you hear the pointe shoes snapping?
