This was a plot point in a Korean movie (The name is unfortunately not coming to mind 😅) the female lead is dancing traditionaly and all the gangsters are ogling her, but the male lead is actually paying attention and he's the only one who sees that her footwork has painted a dragon along the stage. It's a gorgeous moment Edit: the movie is The Accidental Gangster and The Mistaken Cortesian. I highly recommend it
I believe the last video is of a blind dancer. There are two siblings, a brother and a sister, who created a ballet studio in Brazil for the blind and I think it's him. I'm not 100% sure, tho.
i do think the guy at 1:48 is actually a brasilian jiu jitsu practitioner, just because of the clothes. Some of them, especially the ones in higher belt ranks, get insanely stretchy
i am a ballet student in TX and our company ballet teacher has a son who shes has to take to class with her so we can just be doing some turns then her son is just running around knocking over ballet bars playing with cars running all over the place its fun but sometimes he finds the music and turns it up to like 100 or but shuts it off but he is really fun to have around
I was 6 years old when my mum took me to my first ballet lesson. I didn't know what ballet was, but I had done "Physical Culture" (that might be an Australian thing, idk) but i remember in my first lesson we were sitting on the floor pointing our feet and I could easily put my toes on the floor with my heels on the ground like that guy did and just like him, I thought it was normal. Ballet teacher pulls me up in front of the class and makes a HUGE fuss about my feet and yells at the other girls (remember we're 6 years old) how they need to be more like me. The other girls were mean to me during the break in the class and at the end I was in tears. Never went back to ballet lessons, despite my mother and the teacher trying to force me by literally dragging me while I kicked and screamed into the hall for the second lesson. I'm now 40 and I can point my toes almost to the ground, but they no longer touch. I can still put my feet behind my head no worries. I possibly would have made a great ballet dancer if not for a cruel ballet teacher...
eeee i love bridgerton!! for my last birthday i had a bridgerton theme tea party. i wrote a Lady Whistledown to put with our fine china set and flower bouquets. i also made a ball gown and made all my friends dress up too😋
Josephine, the Chinese acrobats/dancers you saw doing pointe on the guy’s head is from a *FULL PRODUCTION OF SWAN LAKE* I believe the frogs instead of the Little Swans is from the same production- the entire thing is on TH-cam and I’m DYING for you to react to the whole ballet
The "so bridgerton" thing reminded me of the "Pride & Prejudice: Having a Ball" documentary where a class of GSA dance students are trained for one (1) high-end ball set in 1813. With historically plausible dancing shoes.
The use of the white board was brilliant. I wish ballet teachers did this more often. It really reinforces the technique beyond just words. Maybe a new theme for posts from Josephine!
I’ve been seeing so many more videos… either taken by students or parents… of this new generation of instructors who are so much more kind, empathetic, creative, and relaxed than what you see in videos of lessons from years ago. It’s really heartwarming. One I saw earlier this week… they were working on (forgive me, I don’t know all the proper terms) but they were working on how high they could lift their legs… and the instructor kept emphasizing that you aren’t competing with each other… but you’re trying to improve on your past self… either in height or form. He was giving them high-fives and making jokes & telling stories from when he was young… keeping them relaxed and enjoying themselves. The older dancer filming could be heard whispering saying she wished she’d had such a gentle instructor when she was young… that maybe she wouldn’t have wanted to quit 10k times a day then.
I'm not a dancer and I've never been a dancer, but I have been asked by multiple people if I dance or do ballet because I guess I stand with my feet turned out? It's just comfortable...
would love to hear your thoughts on the new act'able pointe shoes! I've seen ads for them on instagram but I don't know how well they actually perform ...
I like that one person that can 5:00 touch his feet to the floor while stretching was normal. I swear I have been doing that my whole life. Would you be possibly willing to provide more information on that particular piece? Maybe I’m not understanding correctly. Thank you for your videos. Love them as always. Oh and happy New Year’s.🎉🎉
I wish I had a good fitter when I was on pointes. The just told me it was hopeless because of my ugly feet. The Netherlands didn't have good shops at that time. Now I know that there was a possibility. (Saw the video with the pro dancer with wider feet) I stopped dancing... because of my hopeless ugly feet...
OH MY GOD! Those painted pointe shoes are literally in my size and the preferred width! I prefer the XX width because my feet are super compressive with wide metatarsals and long, tapered toes. Timestamp 0:52!
Josephine, you need to watch Brett Young's Weekends Look A Little Different These Days (Lyric Video) its freaking cute. You don't have to watch for a video but you should watch it
Hey! So I’m 11 and getting my first pair of Pointe shoes in a week. Any recommendations/tips of Pointe shoes?! ❤❤❤ Please like this comment to get Josephine to reply to this comment!
Can you pretty pretty plz do a point shoe giveaway because I’ve been wanting one so bad and I wanna see if I have a chance at winning pretty pretty plz
Whole routime isn't on TikTok, but I would LOVE to see a reaction video to U of Minnesota's 2024 dance routine to Dream On - th-cam.com/video/AYut0NME_Lg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I5CwSIhT3YrlfBHN The turns are absolute perfection!
This is going to make Josephine have a fit. I purchased three pairs of point shoes. One of them is a real pair and the other two are Amazon. No, I'm not a dancer and I'm not training to be one either. I also can NOT go on pointe. I'm using them for a unique reason. I have ingrown toenails that are that way because they are too short. When I'm laying in bed, I point my toes and the sheet press down on the top of my nails and my big toes would hurt. I would wake up in the middle of the night and my feet would feel like I have danced on pointe for the last six hours. I'm planning on eventually seeing a doctor about this but the nails need to grow out. I got the idea because I just wanted something that would cover my feet in a way to keep the pressure off. Pointe shoes work perfectly and I can safely wear them in bed and they don't tear up the sheets. And for the record, I CAN'T GO ON POINTE anyway. I already know I don't have that strength nor training.
Josephine, have you seen the woman who "paints" various ballets? She puts paint on her shoes and dances the part on a canvas. Really cool!

I was going to mention the same thing. So comment an like to keep the idea near the top of the reacted ones.
Yessss she should react!!
4:06 that little baby girl watching her mama do some ballet and mimicking her was the serotonin hit I desperately needed 😂she is so ADORABLE 🥰
✨🩰✨
LOL my sister was a ballet instructor for young kids for many years, and she did that teacher thing haha - the smiles and the steps from her chair.
That was awesome to see!

I'm so delighted to hear that studio exists, I don't even care whether it's him in the video! What a magnificent thing to do 😊
I think a reusable version of that would be a fantastic tool for any dancer to practice muscle memory.

That teacher - seated chair ballet should definitely be a thing!
When I moved out to go to university, I became a volunteer at the dance school in my new city so that I could afford all the classes I wanted 😂

I wanna see more pets with pointe shoes. The kitty with the tiny pointe shoes ❤😍😲🐈
Ooh, Regency dancing! I'm off to a Regency dance class this evening.
You should look up baroque dancing. There are some stunning dancers out there.
Two Josephine videos in a single day? This is a good day.
I'm obsessed with this series. So funny and you seem like such a sweet person. I'm learning a lot as a non-ballerina haha
Two videos in one day!? Thank you!!!
lol you never fail to make us laugh!
People who love her
👇🏼 Edit 1. Thanks for the likes ❤️
People irritated by comments like this 🙋🏽♀️
@@Amaranthyneomg real like stop begging for likes
@@anitasratshole I don’t mind the attention seeking, I’d just like the quality of the comment to be higher than spam.
Ok attention seeker

"Look ma, no cups!" ;-)
I have been obsessively watching your videos because I’ve been so depressed lately, I have exams in a week. Thank you for making me alive again.
YASSS KEEP GOING!! So entertaining 😂❤❤❤
were back and were sobbing 😭🙏
This brought back so many memories. During the annual recital, the teacher would do the dance off stage in the aisle for the the littles to follow.
Continue with these videos🙏 So much fun to watch and remenisce🩰❤
1:12 I do the scooter thing too, I ice skate so it's fun to just do a spiral (skating term for arabesque) down the sidewalk
would love to hear your thoughts on the new act'able pointe shoes! I've seen ads for them on instagram but I don't know how well they actually perform ...
I miss her informative videos
1:21 My ballet class is doing a Bridgeton inspired dance for performances this summer.
Ahh I love Herr!
I even will get my first pointe shoes this SATURDAYY! SOO EXCITED!
Just binge watched all of these 😆
When you’re standing in fifth position thinking it’s normal 😅
I like that one person that can 5:00 touch his feet to the floor while stretching was normal. I swear I have been doing that my whole life. Would you be possibly willing to provide more information on that particular piece? Maybe I’m not understanding correctly. Thank you for your videos. Love them as always. Oh and happy New Year’s.🎉🎉
YES IVE WATCHED BRIDGERTON OMG I LOVE IT ❤
I do that teacher thing. Mostly jazz, and not nearly on this level, but a teacher's a teacher. I even try to breathe for them.
Coaches doing the programs with their students is universal. Figure skating coaches are also prone to doing the same thing.
The whiteboard reminds one of the school figures that ice skaters would have to do. It used to be a part of the Olympics but no longer is.
Wait, so what the guy at 1:26 does isn't super common? I do that all the time. Isn't it just like crossing your legs or touching your toes?
Can you films some fitting or shoe review videos soon please?
4:33 this video it's from Brazil, i am from Brazil
I wish I had a good fitter when I was on pointes. The just told me it was hopeless because of my ugly feet. The Netherlands didn't have good shops at that time. Now I know that there was a possibility. (Saw the video with the pro dancer with wider feet) I stopped dancing... because of my hopeless ugly feet...
2:37 what variation is this? It’s driving me crazy cause it sounds familiar
OH MY GOD! Those painted pointe shoes are literally in my size and the preferred width! I prefer the XX width because my feet are super compressive with wide metatarsals and long, tapered toes. Timestamp 0:52!
I was not looking at my mom when i was little Fir ballet i was watching u❤
so enjoyable
The girl in the bar made me spit my coffee. 😅I think the setup about Russian and then a regular kid
300k sub!
The tag on the back of the child ballerina as if she's a piece of clothing would read "do not machine dry, line dry only" XDDDD
The 7th video I used to be a dancer at a young age but not pointe and i thought that was normal too. lol
the guy iin minute 1:25 I was the same when i learned that not everybody could do that
Make part 31
girl if you dont make these longer 😂😂
Not me not realizing the last clip was a dry erase board/marker 😂😅
I was like, ...how is the line going away??
😭🥲
I literally still have a dent in my shin from uneven bars like 25 years ago
What is the music in the video with the mum dancer and the toddler? Tried to Shazam it but it wouldn't work because of Josephine's talking
I literally used to do that with the scooter it’s just a habit lol!
I want to learn ballet so bad but i'm 29 so idk if i'd be any good seems like you're supposed to start early
it is about time
⏲
I don't get what happened @ 2:23
To 30 more! Sorry Josephine 😅
2:31 what happned😢
She went over her box
@@brookegaskin-hb6sb I still can’t see it but thank you for explaining.❤️ I’m not a ballet girly like that 🤷♀️, xxx
Her shoes were just that deaddddddddd
Guys, I didn't catch the problem in video 2:50... what happened???
The teacher was also dancing in her seat 😂
LOVEEEE
I WISH I could watch more I love ❤❤ your videos and its my dream to become a ballerina !!! 🩰
Asking and hoping, once again, that Josephine will react to Princess Tutu 🙏 I sooo want to hear what she thinks of it
1:55...... Wait hold on, is that not normal then??
