I was so over-excited at the idea of a pointe shoe cake. I thought it was going to be a cake in the shape of a pointe shoe. I'm now unreasonably disappointed.
As someone who was told very young that was wasn’t the right type of body for ballet (6 yrs old) and quit, your channel is healing my lil Bebe dancer heart! I started taking dance classes again as an adult and have been having the time of my life!
@@MackenzieNerdyEMT OMG - you were told that at 6 years' old???!!! That's sick. Whoever said that should be fired. At 6 years' old, bodies are barely formed. I know you can tell a lot from the feet about whether you will be able to become professional, but I don't think you can do even that at 6 years' old. Eating habits are not yet established. That's a good way to give a small girl an eating disorder for life.
I'm sorry you started off with a snob like that and it turned you off to ballet entirely. I was on the other side of that sort of. All the things that are physically wrong with me were the things that got complimented. Once I was told my bunions gave me better balance because it gave a wider space for releve.
@@dajtoad1eating disorders were/are super common in dance and gymnastics. You go about building all this muscle and then are supposed to hide it? While its happening slowly, that is improving.
The one video with Mrs. Pool on it she was my old ballet teacher and I love her so much. She’s actually still working at the Royal ballet dance studio in Dallas, Texas and I love her so much it’s unreal. She taught me for like three years and best three years of my life. I recognize that studio so well.
So, disclaimer: not from the US, and not a ballerina. I am a member of a Roller Derby League here in South Africa, and we take pride in the fact that our league cleans and maintains our facilities. We consider it a massive part of the dedication to our craft, our team, our facilities and our management to get down on our knees and scrub floors, wash walls, clean out our skate cupboard and do our own skate maintenance. For the Skater, By the Skater!
Almost a year ago the algorithm decided that I had to watch your content. I’ve never had any contact to ballet ( except the Barbie movies😂) But because of your videos I saw my first ballet yesterday
Lucky! I've been to California two summers in a row but I didn't get approved for pointe till August so there was no point in getting fitted. If I'm ever back in LA I will definitely want to try to be fitted by her. She's AMAZING.
About the studio cleaning as a student, it'd be really interesting to hear more about ballet in Korea and the differences between the West and Asia when it comes to approaches to dance. Love hearing about your experiences with both shoes and dancing.
Its common in the Asian countries, Even in non-ballet groups or dance troupes here, where I live, the Philippines. We always clean after our dance space before and after we use it, to show respect to the space and be respectful to those who will use it after us if there are anyone else coming in. It adds to the discipline as well.
the tap-pointe shoe hybrid reminds me of Irish dance hard shoes. except we don’t have hard shanks (and we balance on the ‘tap’ of the shoe rather than directly on our toenail). but if you want people doing pointe work in shoes with laces, Irish dance is the genre!
As a gymnast in the US, we took ballet class at our gym two days/week to help with floor, flexibility etc and we definitely practiced an appreciation for the space with cleaning also the gym. Buttt our dance teacher and coaches were Bulgarian gymnasts
I’m 13 and ive been doing ballet for 6-7 yrs, I started really taking it seriously like 2 yrs ago and im even taking advanced lessons. Watching Josephine’s videos bring sm joy to me and gets me excited for when I’ll be going en pointe!! 💗
1- I’m also 29, and I’ll be glad to hit my 30’s, just like I’m excited to see this series continue! 2- I’m in Buffalo, NY, and took Tae Kwon Do when I was a kid. We would wait until sparing or whatever was happening on the mat ended before we would enter the mat. We’d bow to the flags, and to the instructors/black belts. It was a very disciplined sport as well, and didn’t realize it was that close (etiquette wise) to ballet
I started dancing ballet at 30 after having my first baby and it's really changed my life! I feel stronger and it's so peaceful and calming but fun! Josephine videos encouraged me to try something new, she's always saying it's never too late to start! My dream is to one day get on pointe!
When I was in college in 1996, a traveling ballet company came and performed in our theatre. As a theatre major, I was hired to work backstage and help with various things. Some of the ballerinas had such large bunions that they literally drilled holes in their pointe shoes to make their shoes fit better. The ballet was breathtaking and so gorgeous, but the dancers' absolutely wrecked feet is what I remember most nearly 30 years later.
Why I love you, Josephine: You grew up. You're an adult. BUT! You are still a little kid with these videos. Funny, scary, amazing, beautiful, or just plain bad you never hold back on your reactions and the best part is you take us along with you! Please keep up making videos. I can't wait till #30!
So the woman with the fans MIGHT have been Miss Mallory who used to be my daughter’s dance teacher and she and a friend of hers started Showgirls Across America and she is online as MalloryJanineDance. I can’t tell from my phone if it is actually her, but it looks like her and she has a costume like that. She teaches and works as a dancer, we live in Vegas so she and Julie make extra money dressing up as showgirls and posing with people on Fremont Street or Meeting People at the Airport (you can also get Elvis) but she is obsessed with incorporating old style showgirl with classical dance training. My kids only took jazz and ballet dance and gymnastics classes for fun but I have fond memories of Miss Mallory she was so good with the kids.
My ballet studio if you did anything dirty and disrespectful to the facility we would end up cleaning all the mirrors and the floors. If the person was caught they ended up being the only ones doing it. if not it was everybody does it so we never did anything mean to the facility cause we just want to dance. That should probably be more common practice thing than it is because you definitely appreciate your studio a lot more when you take care of it.
This is what made me want to do ballet and what made me fall in love with it. I was 18 years old and hadn't seen a ballet performance in nearly a decade. I decided I wanted to try some basic exercises used in ballet just for fun. I trained myself using TH-cam videos shown by other dancers. I showed a close friend of mine who was a former ballerina (she quit at the age of 13 due to the toxic environment she encountered), and she was shocked at how good I was and pointed out that my feet were extremely strong for someone who'd never taken a dance class before. She eventually took me to get fitted for a pair of pointe shoes as a present for my 20th birthday, and even the fitter was startled by my feet. My first words out of my mouth were, "What's wrong with my feet?" Because my feet are super bendy, I was given a semi-hard shoe. The width was a problem because my feet are also super compressive, so I went with a double x width. My toes are also long and tapered with a wide metatarsal. I still think point shoes with a tapered platform look weird on my feet. So I went with a square platform and added toe spacers to help my feet fill in the extra space. I ordered pointe shoes from Wish just as a display piece to put in my bedroom for inspiration. Now people always freak out whenever they look at my feet because of their bendiness. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I live in the U.S. and dance and we actually do help clean the studio too! During Nutcracker season we all take turns with someone else to clean the studio after rehearsals to help out!
I love this channel so much. I was a competitive gymnast and I feel like it's similar in the level of discipline required but ballerinas literally murder their feet!
Love all your videos. Watched ballet when in my 29, many moons ago. I was in London then. Saw a little Chinese group. It was magic. Now in Hereford and just don't here of ballet here. I'm in late 60's so it's on my bucket list. I dreamed of being ballet dancer but mum couldn't afford it. So we played music and pretended we were our own troupe Magic memories. C
Isabelle Ciaravola at 6'. Former Etoile of Paris Opéra Ballet. I miss her so much. She's a great and complet artist. Please watch some of her performances on TH-cam.
Even as a "mature" bellydance student, I make it a point to be on time with A.I.S. (a$$ in spot) and if I know I may be a little late from work, I let our teacher know, enter quietly from the back and get it together asap. And ALWAYS thank the teacher. ❤
In high school our studio was also a gym class room. We cleaned up after ourselves, but the custodians had to come in even if the room is spotless. Not that it was dirty all the time or something. We weren't supposed to clean the mirrors because my main dance teacher could not stand streaky mirrors. 😂 Of course if we somehow got something on them, gatorade and clumsy ballet students was usually the culprit, we would clean that so he didn't have extra work. Our teacher was also slightly less than formal. Imho its because she was a bodybuilder who switched to dance. She pushed us really hard, but made sure we didn't burn out. I miss her.
Idk, but I find it really funny how at 1:06 she starts talking about dancers' not so great all the time balance, and then the next thing we see at 1:13 is yana_nka8 ruining her point 🤣🤣🤣
That remark about dancers and balance wasn’t about dancers lacking balance while dancing but rather that dancers are remarkably clumsy and ungraceful while not dancing, which is honestly accurate as hell, lol.
My legs always struggled to reach my hip height in addagio. 😅 My teacher purposefully made it grueling to "build strength", too, but that never worked. There wasn't much of a stretch n' strength class, unfortunately.
I love ballet but I don't know where to start and I can't have classes because of the money and the distance. A long time ago I bought ballet pointe shoes at Shein (just to try them out) I use them with great caution) I bought foot protectors and modified them to that he could see my what has been my arch of the foot, I have made sure I have the correct posture when getting on .
I do tap and what I do for the shoe to arch to my foot is I push around the heel and toe area. Also most tap shoes don’t have a flat platform (based off my tap shoes)
Why do I feel as though I see NEIL NEWBORN being in a ballet class? His acting of Astarion is so elegant you would thing he was in ballet one time in his life ❤
bro like a week before chrismas my mom ever so casually asked if I wanted point shoes... I'm not even in ballet my ankles would break the moment I try to even stand in them...
I just got approved to go on pointe! I’m so exited! Any tips and tricks you guys have, please tell me! I would like to get fitted my Josephine but we are sadly no where near them.
Hi! I just started pointe in September and found your channel not long after. I love you videos, and I was wondering: What's your opinion on Nikolay VictoryFlex shoes? Those are what I ended up getting and I was curious.
im a company dancer and for halloween each company dresses up as a movie and my company was "barbie and the 12 dancing princesses" i was the one in the red it was really fun cause we did the dance from the movie
Literally coming to the comments just to ask for thoughts on Gaynors as my second pair of pointe shoes... Once I break them in they will be great in my opinion. My first pair were Capezio Ava's in the regular shank. They were too soft (and they twisted), too squared and the vamp was too low and I was always scared I'd roll over the box. I heard to reduce the pain in my big toe, I could go more tapered. (Not too tapered). I love the look and balance from the square box, but my feet hurt less in the lower crowns and slightly tapered box... If I don't stay in Gaynors what should I look into next?
As a fun fact, I've worn the same Wish pointe shoes I've spoken about. I did not actually dance in them! I just wanted to see what they look like on my feet. Also for the record, even at nearly 21 years of age, I shockingly have natural hyperextensions. But the cake Tik Tok makes me want a ballerina cake for my 21st birthday. I know exactly which ballerina cake I want. The one I have in mind is the same cake from the movie Black Swan. Also, the ultimate birthday present for me would be a pointe shoe fitting done by Josephine. But the problem I have is that I live in Michigan which is over 2,000 miles away from California. I have the money to get pointe shoes, but I will only trust Josephine or one of her employees!
There still are children raised to beself sufficient and dofor themselves as well as others no matter if there is a janitor ,lunch lady ,or maid,or butler .😊❤
Josephine have you seen the movie, The Red Shoes (1948)? It’s a ballet movie, but there’s one ballet scene that is so beautiful I wish more people can see it.
Josephine! I have been a subscriber since 90k I believe or 100k! I started my first ballet classes 2 weeks ago. And we are competing on stage in 6 MONTHS! Im a little nervous but i wanted to know if you could give me absolutely any advice? Ily Josephine!❤❤
1:05 Josephine: You know, ballerinas really don't have balance.
Girl in the next clip: hold my glass

I had a cookie cake decorated with pointe shoes at school for my 16th birthday, one of the other students asked why there were lungs on the cake 💀
In my ballet studio we have to clean the studio every Sunday, it is a part of our responsibility and it teaches us to take care of things we love
Growing up, our ballet studio had rotating chores for senior students. Vacuuming, mirrors, etc. Coastal, southern US. I am in my mid-thirties.
So the woman with the fans MIGHT have been Miss Mallory who used to be my daughter’s dance teacher and she and a friend of hers started Showgirls Across America and she is online as MalloryJanineDance.

Also, the ultimate birthday present for me would be a pointe shoe fitting done by Josephine. But the problem I have is that I live in Michigan which is over 2,000 miles away from California. I have the money to get pointe shoes, but I will only trust Josephine or one of her employees!
I’m literally getting my first pair of pointe shoes in a few days I’m so excited but also nervous, any tips?
What your application of suffolk pointe? Have you ever fitted anyone with them
Come to London Josephine! The Royal Ballet is truly in a golden era atm!

Josephine have you seen the movie, The Red Shoes (1948)? It’s a ballet movie, but there’s one ballet scene that is so beautiful I wish more people can see it.
