Heyy
I've bled on pointe shoes before. Hydrogen Peroxide on a tea towel saved me more than once.
Wait we made it through with out cups. Why its she not rejoicing? This is what Josephine wanted right? I can relate to the pirouette fail. I did that once with a pique pirouette. Band new slippers and for some reason I didn't step in the rosen box. I went up and came down crashing hard. Learned my lesson the hard way.
Quick tip for sewing anything, by hand. I thimble is your friend. Save your fingers from bleeding.
YES. I just got a thimble a few days ago and it saved my life :D
For something that thick use pliers! I am a thimble advocate (it goes on your middle finger, to help push the needle through, a lot of people try to use them on the pointer finger) but when working with that many layers and that much glue pliers are the way to go! You get much better leverage and purchase on a needle when your whole hand can be pulling it.
@@thebadpoet I would think for something that hard to punch a hole through your would want a heavy duty leather awl to punch a hole in the fabric to get your needle through as well. Pilers can break needles. They do make little rubber pads that your can wrap around your needle to help you pull your needle through the fabric. I feel that basic sewing is something everyone should know. Especially dancers who do pointe, because things like this happen and the shoe needs a quick repair. Basic knowledge of the tools and how to properly use them can go a long way. Save hands and frustration.
According to the blog, she knows they're coming in video 12
Lol the same thing happened to me but with figureskating. I forgot to taje my skate guard off before stepping on the ice. When I went to confidently step on the ice in front of all the little kids I help teach I fell so hard!!!!! I havnt forgotten my skategaurd since lol
As someone who sews, but knows nothing about pointe shoes, it might be worth getting a sailmaker's palm to help with sewing through that difficult material. It's a leather strap that fits over your wrist/thumb with a little metal disc held on the squishy part of your palm. It's like a much beefier version of a thimble, allowing you to push with more force than just a finger, since it was used to get through tough canvas and other heavy fabrics used to make sails. Used in combination with pliers, it makes getting a needle through difficult fabric much easier.
I have started doing leather crafts and I will absolutely be getting a sailmaker's palm thank you for the recommendation
YEP! I don't sew anything but leather, butttt I do that by hand and was going to suggest a sailmaker's palm, a curved cadaver needle, and a pair or two of needle nose pliers!
Yes! I need it. This is why TH-cam comments are gold 😂
@@sabrecrafted7409 what do you make?
@@zvezdoblyat mostly tooled leather pieces, like wallets, belts, and bags.
Oh man - for darning pointe shoes I recommend curved upholstery needles (you can find them at most craft stores), and a pair of needle nose plyers. :D Or if you use an awl, pre-punch tiny holes or use a seam ripper to try and wiggle a hole between the threads/weave. It's what I used to do with mine and now as someone who does sewing it helps with PITA fabrics that would otherwise make me cry.
I was just gonna say-pliers! And a thimble!
If you don’t have a thimble, use a coin and a band-aid. I prefer this to normal thimbles for sewing leather. The needle sticks a little in the band-aid and doesn’t slide no matter the pressure you put on it.
@@cfgregory oh dang! Good to know!
I've never actually taken a dance class before, but I love watching your videos! they're funny and I learn a lot from them. kinda making me want to take dance 👀
You totally should start dance classes if you are able!
You should!
doooo iittt!!
it's so much fun
You should! All the genres are so fun!
I’ve never taken point classes, but I’ve been taking about 5 other styles for 11 years now.
When I got my Pointe shoes, I had to sew on the ribbon and the elastic band around the ankle. But after about three practices, my laces came loose and I had re-sew every one of them so they wouldn’t come loose in a performance. But you know what happened? They came loose, I tripped, and fell off the stage.
IM FINE NOW! THAT WAS LAST YEAR
SAME it's so frustrating to have to sew them all the time. I've had my current pair for about 3 months now and I've had to re-sew them atleast 12 times :'D
If you are having sewing issues (ribbons and/or elastics) check with the pointe shoe fitter near you for tips. I've seen sewing classes for dancers with home economic teachers too.
If the thread broke, try dental floss. My ribbons ended up ripping instead. I also superglue the knot at the very end with a small bit of glue but idk if that helps.
I used to use those jelly squares (they’re burn pads) when I was a runner for lost toenails and blisters too. Once I ran in shoes too small and had a huge blood blister on my heel and I was able to run a race with one of those on. Magic.
Lol, I relate to the hip-hop one. I did ballet as a child/teen and switched to belly dance as an adult (been doing it almost 20 years now). My first workshop with a professional performer in belly dance, she immediately recognized my ballet background from the way I held my spine/shoulders/neck 😂. It took a lot of work to be able to make my spine adapt to more serpentine movement.
Honestly I just wanted to keep on watching this. Maybe one day she can do a longer reaction video but do it live?
That Kitri was en pointe! 😂 Sorry, not sorry; I couldn’t resist the pun!
What a great selection! So much fun as always Josephine!
Oh man, ballet dancers need to get them some sashiko thimbles! They go on like a ring, and have a pebbled surface. You can push through damn near anything with them, but I'd highly recommend getting the sachiko needles and thread. I've broken US needles with that thimble, and you need a sturdy thread to work with that gauge eye.
My father is a shoemaker and seeing you react to ponte makers is the best!
I love the Tik Tok reactions…I don’t even have Tik Tok and have never used it…but the stuff they have that you show is hilarious…even better is the looks of horror on your face, lol! Love your channel, never taken a dance class in my life, but always wanted to take ballet growing up…mainly for the pretty costumes and cool pointe shoes…but I love watching ballet (and dance in general) and it’s really cool to see you fit pointe shoes, and just what a total difference the correct shoe for each individual is. I was a figure skater, and when I was skating, the really good boots (i.e. crazy expensive, Mom loved paying for those) were individually made for you, and they sent off plaster casts that the skate store made of your foot up through your mid calf, so it fit the ankle correctly and didn’t “cut into” the back of your calf. It was cool, and they were awesome…made a huge difference in how well I could skate (land jumps, control spins and edges, and do school figures…yes, it was a long time ago, school figures were still a thing in figure skating then.
I will never get tired of these reaction videos.
I attended an arts school and we would have ballet dancers who couldn’t afford to buy new pointe shoes very often come down to the sewing room and steal our needles to sew their shoes
I have fallen doing an attitude turn the exact same way. My foot just kind of slipped out from under me; it was so funny and, oddly enough, didn't hurt that much or at all
Dental floss seems to be very popular for darning ballet shoes, but it seems a bit expensive? Reach is 1.87 for 55 yards and Glide is 18.29 for 262 yards (a six pack on amazon), while a spool of hand quilting thread is 4.99 for 220 yards? And if anyone knows JoAnn's, they know there are always sales and coupons. I wonder if anyone has done a darning and functional use comparison?
I think a lot of dancers don't realize that you can buy different weights of thread and wax it yourself for far, far cheaper than sewing with dental floss!
Don’t use quilting thread for your shoes! It’s cotton wrapped cotton and will degrade much quicker than cotton wrapped poly or poly wrapped poly. I would suggest buttonhole twist which you probably have to order online since I don’t think Joann’s carries it. It’s a very heavyweight thread meant to go in the bobbin when you make buttonholes to make sure they are strong. I use it for the bobbin thread when I’m doing a very long piece of gathering as well.
It’s also called hy-mark but that’s a brand name and I’m not actually sure they are still in business.
Glad I am not the only one who is nerdy enough to watch pointe shoes being made! Freed to a few of those vids actually but my favourite is the one where they partner with a company called Ballet Black...for those dancers who won't be given a chance in big famous companies, because they don't have the body type or skin. The brown satin they use is exquisite!
YESSSS THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO, JOSEPHINEEE!! Also, I don’t know if anyone cares, but I got my first pair of pointe shoes on Monday! I have my first pointe class Thursday!! I’m really exited because it’s been a lifelong dream of mine to be on pointe.. anyways, love your videos! Have a wonderful rest of your day/ night!
Congratulations!! You're going to have SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!
@@hippl32 thank you so much!! ☺️💕
I'm so jealous! Congratulations! 😊❤️🎉
@@rhiannon1170 thank you!! :)
What a dream! How has it been?
i need pt 12 NOW (imagine that in demon voice)
Just watched some of your videos. I took ballet lessons when I was quite young a hundred years ago. I remember using lambs wool in my “toe shoes”.
Ah yes, the good old days of lambs wool
I made stitch kits for all of my students, I just bought a bunch of boxes of floss and stuck a couple of needles in each one. The floss comes with a razor to cut it inside, so it's nice to have scissors but you don't even really need those.
And if you buy mint floss your finger smell nice!
the Queen of Hearts dance in "Alice in Wonderland" is the FUNNIEST choreography I've ever seen. I wish the entire show was on PBS.
Leaving dance class in strange attire.... I did that once... the gas station attendant thought I was homeless. 🤣🤣🤣
I quit ballet a few years back and your videos make me wanna get back into it
Do it. My home barre arrived yesterday so ThIS is the day. Carpe diem
We will never be sick of this
Pro tip from a fashion graduate who's hand-sewn multiple layers of cardboard-like coutil: Use a thimble. And if you bleed on the thing, your own saliva will remove the stain from your own blood, so spit on it. Weird but it works. (Best on a fresh stain, but it will also work on an old one.)
Is it any human saliva or does it have to be your own?
It has to be your own, and the blood has to be fresh. There are enzymes in your own spot which can get out a little bit of your own blood.
Also, use curved upholstery needles and pliers to sew something that thick! Just a thimble won’t cut it, you’ll snap the needle before it makes it through.
Josephine, I loved watching your reaction to the clip of pointe shoes being made! 💗 You are clearly passionate about your work and it is contagious. 💞
I’m not a dancer I wish I was but watching the pointe shoes being made is one of my guilty pleasures
as a dancer, i always roll my sleeves up and i don't even notice until like an hour later
Please do keep making these TikTok reaction videos Josephine because they're brilliant (if sometimes a bit ouch and cringe). We need them. 🙂
I wear gaynors and I need a thimble to just sew my ribbon and elastics! I do not know how people manage to darn gaynors. Mad respect.
It's kinda sad about the point shoe makers never having seen a performance. I also wonder if they'd change anything about how they make them if they had
That guy at the end was actually so good!! He wasn't very straight, but he got the poses and jumps and was pretty quick!
I don't dance or even undesrand ballet but I'm watching every video from this channel 😅
If you're having difficulty with sewing, use jeweller's pliers to pull through the needle so you don't even touch the needle and lose grip on it. Also with using rosin or beeswax to strengthen the stitching threads helps with longevity; in addition to the pliers, I fine doubling up the thread, running thru beeswax, then knotting the two ends together and threading a LEATHERWORKING needle (because of the shape of the needles used fornleatherworking are 3-side, it makes them ideal to pierce multiple fabrics, and you can even get bent ones to make ghings even easier. They are also much more hard-wearing than some random mattress or darning needle, and are not super expensive like the kits sold can be). I recommend getting a sets of two pliers (fine/needlenose, jeweller's pliers, due to size and because the hardier ones for electricians are far too clunky and sometimes come greased up) are going to be especially useful in guiding your needle thru hard material without much pressure or risk of pushing the needle into your hand like ghat poor girl if you aren't familiar with sewing and or don't have a thimble.
Source: I am a historical reinactor and have made about 15 sets of leather turnshoes, which started when I was 15 and couldn't afford the ghillies I kept running thru for irish dance, so I was determined and found cheap but high-quality leather offcuts, and because I have tiny feet (size 5 USA) it was more than enough and only took me 3 tries before I developed a usable pattern and method that worked. I only used this for my practice ones as they have soft-suede-soles, but the performance ones are more akin to jazz shoes, ballet shoes and that iron age shoe found in europe had a baby and added like 10 extra seams and laces for no apparent reason haha (just look up irish dance ghillie or highland/Scotland dancing pump to see similar)
I love your reaction videos I am not sure if they still make metal thimbles for darning these days? I learn so much from these thanks so much 💟💟💟
Oh my gosh I have seen the Kitri variation (last tik tok) recently and I don't know why, but I wanted somehow recreate that solo (not en pointe since I am just a modern dancer and I never wore them) but that's hilarious lmao
The producer didn't traumatize Josephine this time. So wholesome!
6:17 *the man is legit better at dancing than me and i have been dancing since i was 3*
there were literally 10 or 11 tiktoks, and to me it only felt like 3 or 4 tiktoks- time flies when you're having fun?
The company with the red flower really said: "The show must go on!"
That last one was EPIC!!! Super hero arms!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You need curved upholster or leather needles for the thickness you’re going thru and a palm cover or metal thimble to push the needle.
Content on tiktok is trash but ballet content on tiktok is gold! (Except for the cup/pointe ones)
Yesss! these tiktok reaction videos are my fav! I’ve been dancing since I was 3 and started going en point at 12 or 13 I think
So I do WERQ (it's a dance workout, like Zumba but better) and we dance to Todrick Hall Nicki Minaj Cardi B etc. Well one of the dances we do jumps to the side and with me being a ballet dancer I can't help not to make it ballet with hands and all. Also when the guy was doing the "ballet look" that is so relatable because every time I have class I try to look as tacky as possible because when I stop at the store I love the looks I get from people.
I've been binging these and I love them! My main knowledge of ballet comes from having a crush on a classmate who was a ballerina in highschool and going to all her performances. Even with that little knowledge, I really get a kick out of Josephine's reactions.
"Ballet is so up and hip-hop is so down"
Grand plie:
👁👄👁
The face mask hack is so clever!
I know this series has been long but please more reaction videos💗💗
Josephine you should react to save by the Bell doing a ballet dance LOL 😂😂
4:08, true but whenever I’m touching/fixing my hair my ballet teacher yells at me 🥲😭
The guy doing kitri was ivan vasiliev!!!! literal ballet god
Use an upholstery needle on your shoes. better for thicker fabrics and easier to use. Don't forget the thimble.
Question: if you have a rip in your pointe shoe can you use super glue to fix the rip like with a sewing needle?
My dance teacher was the point shoe coordinator so that’s why I like to watch a Videos 😊🎶🪩🩰🎧🎭
I love you so much you are so incredible and always so positive ❤☺
I never want these to end!!!!!!
WE NEED PART 12!
Poor Josephine she had to go through all this watching This 😂😂😂😂
Bianca's ballerina in hip hop class series is honestly the best thing. I could watch those videos for hours 🤣
OMG PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO WORKING AT A POINTE SHOE FACTORY FOR A DAY
never stop making these 😭
I LOVE THESE
Um quick question but my metatarsals kinda feel like they’re “popping” when I’m in pointe class during some more intense exercises… is it a me problem or do I need a different shoe?
What are metatarsals
@@elliedoughty6985 hard to explain but they’re the bones between your toes and the main part of the foot
If you feel right under your toes there’s these long bones … hope that made sense!
@@chiara4243 ty for telling me 🙃
OMG WITH THE FIRST ONE I THOUGHT IT WAS A PAD AND I WAS LIKE OH UHM OK BUT THEN SHE SAID RECYCLED AND LITERALLY GASPED (then I heard her say mask *phew*)
YOUR MY FAVORITE YOU TUBER
I dont know why i didnt leave this comment when the video was uploaded, but even though he's not sper recognizable in the video, the one dancing kitri is valisiliev
We escaped the cups
wow my video was featured!!!!!
I made the countdown one with the second skins!
I usually don't even get blisters but that video was recorded after dancing for 5 hours straight haha
:)))))
FINALLY ONE WITHOUT CUPS
The hip hop one is me I took hop hop class and I was like I stick with pointed feet when I’m supposed to flex never again will I take hip hop
I LOVE THISSS
would love to see you react to save the last dance 2 especally the final dance Sara creates which is a hip-hop/ballet fusion :D
The first video I recognize Alessandra Ferri ❤️. The darning video that showed blooded on the shoe maybe using a thicker needle might help not sure but it was scary to see that.
First! I love these vids!
Early!I love the Tik Toks!
Tip from a someone who sews if you bleed on something your own saliva will get blood out of cloth. We stab ourselves a lot with needles and pins.
this Kitri.. American ballerinas dance this variation just like that :)
Where were the cups?! 😂
finally no cups LOL
More more more please 😂
Hi it's me Zoe you fitted my friend in Fountain Valley southland 2 days ago ur my idol!
I just got my pointe shoes in July and I didn’t know how painful it could be me and my bff laugh tears though all of it 🤣🙂🙂
How many more of these tik tok react videos do you want Josephine to do?
Me:.... THE LIMIT DOES NOT EXIST
you should do more pointe shoe reviews
i tried to break in my pointe shoes and whoever made them they made it to hard I cannot break in them
I’m a grade 5 ballerina, but I’m only in a local school, nevertheless this all makes sense to me 😂
If anyone gets their blood on their shoes accidentally, use yor spit (only works with your own spit on your own blood). Put spit on the blood dab with a paper towel and repeat.
You should start reacting to missys fall Friday
Love thisssssssssss it's amazing
THERE WAS NO CUUUUUUUPPPSSSSS
Can you wish me luck because I have my point shoe test soon and I hope i can do point
I’m 51 & still have my last pair of Salvio’s (I’m in Australia 🇦🇺)
wait no cups todays??
A good tip for getting blood out of fabric is using a bit of hydrogen peroxide.
more pleaaaase
Soooo my friend dose ballet and hip hop but hip hop is strong suit and for me I can never and when I say never I mean never free style it’s hard. Especially when people are in front of you
GUYS WE MADE IT THRU A TIKTOK VIDEO WITH NO CUPSSSSS
