My first pointe shoe fitting was a disaster the lady looked at me and said "You have VERY dificult feet I only have one pair you can try" She forced my foot into the shoe and then said "It fits you perfectly you can buy them" I didn't even go up on pointe I just sat with my feet in them. I was clueless and thought they were the right shoes for me. Whelst in reality the vamp was way too short, the box too narrow and the shank way too hard. Skip ahead till I go for my second pointe shoe fitting. I go to this old man and he asks to see my old shoes and he just looks at me for awhile before he says "Next time you see the lady that sold you these shoes you take the shoes and hit her over the head with them" After an hour and a half pointe shoe fitting he told me he didn't have the right shoe for me but he also said he knows the exact shoe that I need. So I went back two days later and had another fitting with him for about half an hour before he was a 100% happy with the shoe he eventually chose for me.
@@KalikaInLeather Honestly it's a lot easier to dance in them it feels like the shoes are working with me rather than against me. My first fitting was four years ago and then that second one was two years ago and yeah I still wear them😊
came away from the fitting with shoes 2 sizes too small, wayyyy to narrow, the entirely wrong shape for my feet and way too strong a shank. i'd put them on and my feet would go numb straight away, my toes would be red/blue after and really cold from lack of circulation. my feet literally bulged out of them, i couldn't walk in them at all cause they were so short and i couldn't go through demi pointe in them either. i had no balance and the only reason my toes in agony was because all the weight was on the box as they were so narrow and i couldn't feel my feet.
Emma Wilding saaaammmee! My parents knew nothing about ballet and I just thought there was something wrong with my feet, and I thought those flaws were permanent. I ended up quitting because my teacher yelled at me because my left foot wasn’t going all the way up. I was so embarrassed.
There’s a lady in my city who actually fits people this way although it’s less exaggerated. I have to drive for at least a half hour to get fitted correctly! Oh my gosh!😂
Oh the Devine sickling feet! In tears! And I need the music just to play at the local shop when the fitter tells me it’s ok the shoes are two size bigger cuz that’s what the drawstrings are for....
I actually made that mistake when I had my first pointe shoe. we were told which brand a tupe to go for, and the shop didn't have too much option either. so I had a pair of Sanshas, and kept adding toepads when they were already very dead, up to the point when I literally didn't feel my toes after dancing in them for 5 minutes...
This might seem funny but 25 years ago that was the NORM .. and brands weren't even mentioned... (did we even have brands back then?!?). I was advised to put a fillet (!!!) in my very very wide pointe shoes because that's what they do in Bolshoi (?!?).
I remember my first pointe shoes, they were blochs, and my toes were legitimately overlapping. The lady insisted it was okay because "pointe is supposed to hurt." They lasted a few weeks until I got my gaynor mindens. I then knew what it meant to have shoes that ACTUALLY fit and it was like dancing on a cloud 🥰
Or they never have you even go on point and just fit you totally flat on the floor. That literally happened at my first fitting as a kid. Turns out the shoes I had were not right for me, as soon an I got on point I sank like a rock and crushed my toes.
Where is this store at?? TeLL mE NOW I NEED THE SEVEN THOUSANDS TOE PADS I can't believe ALL THESE POINTE SHOE FITTERS HAVE BEEN FITTING ME WRONG. IM "FIT" up with it.. I'm so cheesy TH-cam enjoy my cheesy long comments..
This was actually like my first shoe fitting, the shoe looked good on the foot (my teacher told me to take that kind of shoe) and it hurted so bad but it looked good and there was some girl that didn't knew how. To. Fit them at all
WOW this was funny but seamed so real , I remember getting fitting and the fitter was all about the Arch .. trying different shoes until I was completely over the box and in a shoe 2 sizes smaller than my previous pair , omg the flash back 20 years lol.
That’s how they did it to me, but then mi feet’s start to get bloody because for protection I get thimble for my fat finger, and I get a criss cross elastic but it was the one that is like very wide so then we go to a place that was professional and they say me that that was very bad they give me Bloch heritage 2 x and I need Bloch b morphe 2xx . The woman that fit me the pointe shoe was a “specialist “ on point shoes she go to my professional school but I don’t now why she give it wrong to me so I am only going to get them with the second woman. So yes that’s my experience I fill very identified with this video jejej.
Josephine (sorry if I spelt your name wrong). I was hoping you could answer my question. I just started Demi pointe last week and I was wondering how long you think it will be till I am on pointe? P.S I love your channel 🤩
When I had like my second pair of pointe shoes, the lady told me that 2:08, but completely seriously, and now I can't get rid of using too many toe pads (I'm currently in two, but I used 4, so that's something)
“I don’t agree with the use of the ankle.” 😂😂😂
“Some people refer to it as a sicle...but I find that really demeaning” 😂😂😂

How did you feel dancing in them (the second pair)? How long ago was this? Do you still use the same kind of pointes?

Ellesmera 88510 It sounds like you met an Umbridge for your first fitting and then met your Ollivander for the second! 😆
Carmen I was just invited into pre pointe I still have 6 months but what type of shoe is it??
Moonlight Carnival omg the perfect way to describe getting a fitting for pointe shoes
EVERY POINTE SHOE FITTER WHOS NEVER DANCED
So true
BUUURRRRNNN LOL
Isabella goddess
Isabella so true
Biscuit is actually really good look at her insta
its sad how similar to this my first pointe shoe fitting was...

Emma Wilding oh boy... sorry to hear that
Emma Wilding oof

Emma Wilding are ur feet okay?
Does anyone else agree with me that biscuit ballerina is like the Miranda sings version but in ballet 😂 but she’s so funny I like her so much😊
There’s a lady in my city who actually fits people this way although it’s less exaggerated. I have to drive for at least a half hour to get fitted correctly! Oh my gosh!😂
where is your place?
Nicole Khoo It’s right outside of Boston
DarkSunshine111 I have to drive at least half an hour to get pointe shoes at all. Lol
Sara Bills That’s rough
@@Alex_in_Wonderland111 it's worth it though because the fitter is good and really nice
This was so hilarious! But the sickled foot made my soul hurt. Lol. XD
You mean it made your..... SOLE hurt.....?😂😂😂
BahHaaHaaaa! Yeah! 7000 toe pads!! The ONLY way to dance!! LOL! You sillies! ;p
This physically hurt to watch lmao
Her straight face this entire time was AMAZING😂 it made it for me
Oh the Devine sickling feet! In tears! And I need the music just to play at the local shop when the fitter tells me it’s ok the shoes are two size bigger cuz that’s what the drawstrings are for....
Kay Shi mines are 2 1/2 sizes smaller! 😳

Thank you for a beautiful self-giggle! I love when professionals know how to have fun in their craft!

As a retired dance teacher I've seen this many times!
Lol! Biscuit Ballerina is at it again 😂😂😂 I seriously love her! She’s so funny! You should check out her instagram, she’s UHMAZING!!!
I’m afraid this is how my first fitting will be. I’m hoping to start pointe work this coming year:)
"They look about your size" 😂😂😂
“biscuits” .......
lowkey brought back traumatic memories of former instructors yelling at me. 😅😅
Sorry to hear that. I have had similar experiences. Don’t listen to people who tell you that. They aren’t on your side. They’re against you.
I love that she stayed in character!
Biscuit Ballerina is goals 😍
*the unwing*
Love it! So very funny. Perfect example of what not to believe…
If you need a fitting, travel! Go to CA and meet with Josephine!

Josephine looks amazing in pointe shoes! Go girl.
How funny was that, couldn't stop laughing. Thank you.
Was awesome to see Josephine wearing a pair of pointe shoes. She should start modeling new pairs when she talks about the new brands she gets in. 😄
Hey Biscuit Ballerina, do you take internships? Aprentices of any kind? Pretty pls?
LOL so cute. Great to see you girls having a nice time. :-D
YAS girl!! Show dem biscuiiits! *snap snap*
Good satire - love it! I hope Josephine did not sustain any injuries!
WOW this was funny but seamed so real , I remember getting fitting and the fitter was all about the Arch .. trying different shoes until I was completely over the box and in a shoe 2 sizes smaller than my previous pair , omg the flash back 20 years lol.

She’s such a good actor
Hahaha! 😂 Biscuit Ballerina is the BEST! I think her twin sister must have fit me! 🤪
You two are a riot!😆😆
I LOVE THIS 💕💕
Haha this is the best! Can I get some gravy for my biscuits?
“I don’t agree with the use of the ankle” is what my left foot tells me whenever I’m en pointe
Why do I feel that the background music is from Harry Potter
You have read my mind, I was thinking the same thing lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣this is so funny unwinged!!
This was perfection 🤣
This was hilarious 😂!!!!!!!
OMG....The UNwing...!
I’m so glad i watched this thanks
What can you do to prevent this from happening for the first time you get fitted?
Oh wow! I thought I recognized the other one :) she was in a Project Runway episode!
i hope you do a perfect point shoe fitting on you🙌 that would be cool
This is so hilarious I'm so dead 💀
Ugh I was so hoping to see you in a perfect pair at the end!! 😭❤️
Oh my gosh I needed this today 😂😂😂😂😂👏🏼
I LOVE BISCUIT BALLERINA

I'm screaming that was my old teacher's philosophy with padding- too big? Just get a huge ass toe pad!
These tips and this fitting gave me an aneurysm lol 😂
She's just laughing the whole time
the lady who fitted me barley even talked to me during it but luckily I talked enough that I got a pair that was pretty good 😂
SKSKKSKS I LOVE THIS
Why does the girl laugh soooooooo much!
This was amazing 😂
Perfect.
😂😂
(Why is this actually me)
Hahahaha this is hilarious!!!!!

karla-linzi smith depends on your
Flexibility
Strength in your legs
And skill level

I couldn't stop laughing
This is hysterical XD
I died of laughter when she started talking about the 7000 pads😂😂. This is pain to watch and for every other ballerina.
Biscuit Ballerina is funny!!
Hey , could u please do a pointe shoe fitting for Loren Lopez from starkid?
hahahah! So good.
This was hilarious
“Because with comes stability”
That's so funny.
Come to Long Island
What fools gave this video a thumbs down? I guess all the fitters who don't know their stuff? lol
Thats what happened at my first pointe fitting
The biscuit ballerina is the ballerina version of Miranda Sings😂😂😂
The tittle should be "how to kill a ballerina ". Lmao😂
One of the teachers at my studio calls the piece of your toe that sticks out when you don't fully cross fifth position "Chicken Nuggets"
Lol to funny . love it :)
