pointe shoe fitter vs BALLET TIK TOKS (part 8!) 

Hey everyone! Just a heads up - the video goes mute in 2 spots due to copyright claim to the music. During this section, Josephine is just reading the text from the Tik Tok - so thankfully her commentary wasn't affected. Hope you can still enjoy! Thanks so much for watching! ♥🩰

Josephine is the only person who can compliment people’s feet without me getting worried

The woman with the red tap pointes is an incredible Broadway dancer! My favourite part of Crazy For You is that tap pointe moment! She is stunning!

I swear we could make a horror movie using all of Josephine’s reactions to the cups 😆😆

I love these videos. I'm not a dancer, never even been in the same room as a pointe shoe, but Josephine is a compelling watch! She's funny and always comments positively. I am sorry, however, she's so traumatised by cups! Maybe a counselling session ot two would help?! 🤔 🤭😊 Keep the tiktok reaction vids coming and I'll keep watching...deal?! 😊❤

Josephine: *hyperventilating* also Josephine: *i’m traumatized because of cups*

1) I burst out laughing when Josephine pulled out the juice box 🧃 😂😂😂 2) this series title NEEDS to be changed to Pointe Shoe Fitter Broken by the Internet (and drinkware).

I don’t know how anyone hasn’t broken their foot with the cups yet? Like how? Also, I was just watching all of your reaction videos the other day and I love them!!

Omg video idea! What if Josephine guesses what shoe brands and maybe even styles we wear? We can send in pictures without the soles showing and it can be kind of a quiz :)

Omg the pointe tap shoes! I remember going to a dance competition when I was 11 (2004/2005) where we competed against a team that did a group dance in them…my mind was blown. I was like “Welp…I guess WE lost…” 😂

Thanks for traumatizing yourself for our entertainment. ;) Love you, Josephine and crew!

The second person shown is from a family that lives in poverty but they really want to dance. Some people got together to get them new shoes and lessons I think.

Allow me to introduce myself. When I was 5 years old, I danced ballet for a year. I then quit because I moved to different country. I then figure skated for about 6 months, maybe a little more. Later on I swam competitively, eventually ended up dancing hip-hop at my school and at a local studio for nearly 2 years! I am currently 13 and I will be turning 14 this month, on the 18th! I recently joined a professional ballet school in the vicinity, I am really enjoying my lessons (3 times a week, 1 hour and 30 minutes). At the moment, I am in a group with 10 year olds however, my teacher had told me that she will put me into a group that's around my age (the girls there are already en pointe). Tomorrow I will be having my 6th lesson, and I'm really excited. I do a deep stretch daily, that lasts nearly 2 hours. On the contrary, I do some pilates to further aid me. I try my best at class every time, I try to remember all of my corrections, I also rehearse what I did at class at home. I'm already begging to see changes, my flexibility has improved immensely, my strength has increased, my coordination and my overall performance. I feel stronger than before, I also see my self losing weight in specific locations. I am really trying to stay dedicated to ballet, and I have begun taking it much more seriously. I would appreciate any kind of advice, thank you for reading this lengthy comment of mine. I wish you all a good day, or night.

Starting from 1:41 I can’t hear anything- Edit: ohh the pinned comment says u can’t hear anything in 2 parts of the video

Josephine's "Nooooooo!!" when those cups hit the floor, he'd not even said what the plan was but she knew the horror that was coming her way 😂

I honestly love these reaction videos 😂 the cup trauma is very real. I do have to wonder though, since you're so good with feet and all, would you be able to distinguish a ballet dancer's feet from a non-dancer who may have feet that look like they dance? One of my favorite RU-vidrs TwoSetViolin just did a concept trying to determine what (if any) instrument someone played based on their hands and honestly its a pretty cool concept. I wonder if it could be applied to feet 🤔

Love the tiktok reaction videos. I would also love to know more about pointe shoes for ballet dancers who already have bunions. I have been struggling to find the perfect pair.

I'm an Irish dancer and my hardshoes (ones we do pointe in) are so old that the toe's fiberglass is chipping... slowly... slowly... away.

Never had a ballet class in my life but love watching all your videos! You go girl!💃

I keep all of my pointe shoes and get shadow boxes from Michaels and frame them all, it looks super cool especially if you fix them up a little and paint them, or use foundation so they look nicer

Josephine *hyperventilating because of the cups* guys i'm so traumatized right now. I have to drink from a drink box. 😂😂

I naturally have “pointe shoe shaped toes” and I haven’t started point yet (a couple of weeks until I do I’m so exited!) my mom says I get it from my dad

1:48 no volume? Nvm i just read pinned

Josephine your reaction faces are the best I absolutely love it

3:45 I love it so much and I don't know why. My bestie would VERY much appreciate this lol

LOL I went to ballet class in the 70's, we had a strict uniform - black leotard, pink tights under the leotard, pink leather shoes. Period! We did all look the same. The teacher had a long stick that he beat on the floor to keep time, and he would use it to correct us instead of touching us. At least we had a real pianist.

AYYY SHES BACK WITH ANOTHER ONE OF THESE thank you so much it is literally so funny to watch you freak out over these

The first sentence had me lol! About not recognising the face but definitely the feet. I love these tik tok reactions too, nobody does them better, and it's authentic as well. The red tap shoes was amazing! I bought some years ago just for the pretty factor! And the next video with the different colours and type of shoes, the lace up taps etc. Now xrays- that's my area having worked previously in healthcare! More time tok reaction vids- yes please!!!

I love how she immediately knew what was about to happen at 2:58

6:46 My ballet teacher said I have short enough toes that I don't need a spacer. I do have a big gap between my big toe and my 2nd toe, so we tried spacers when I first went on pointe but they were to long for my toes and far to uncomfortable

yessss! i love this type of videos!!!! i was waiting for part 8! i really like when you react to ballet tik toks!

The pointe shoe the first girl showed being dead is actually the only way I can use them. Pointe shoe are dead for me when the box is completely soft

In 3:16 I just noticed Josephine was panting on the same beat lol

i caught you drinking teh kotak sosro in this video! it's from indonesia, my country, i miss those. wonder where did u get it? anyway, love and always enjoying all your videos! ^^

Honestly it makes me angry how many people I see on TikTok saying “ThOsE aReN’t PoInTe ShOeS tHeY’rE cUpS” when it’s so obvious to me that they’re real pointe shoes in socks 😭🤚

Okay, let me just say, Hamilton is my LIFE. MY LITERAL LIFE. The tiktok with the audio from Hamilton made my day.

This was made 40 seconds ago and I can’t believe I am the first one here!

IM GETTING FITTED FOR POINTE SHOES SATURDAY!! anyone have any tips?? also, these videos bring me joy every time they’re uploaded 😅

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. Xxxx

That girl with all the elastics everywhere: Same, girl, same.

I feel so bad for the girl in the second Tik Tok. Not being able to afford a new pair of pointe is heartbreaking to me. If this is possible, I want everyone to come together and raise enough money to get this lovely ballerina all the supplies she needs! Pointe shoes included!

With regards to the ortho TikTok; I wonder if dancers who are students now will have the same issue in 10-20 years that current professional ballet dancers do, because shoes and accessories/the attitude towards “you will be in pain, deal with it” have all changed a lot in a relatively short space of time.

So like this morning I was jumping and tip toeing around and I broke the cup😭 And now all of my toes hurt now I feel like a real ballerina😌

I have seen so many horrific videos and decided to not tag you to spare your eyes because whew. Out there just buying pointe shoes online with zero training trying to break their ankles I stg

Dayum, arrived early for the first time- Also.. I AM ALSO TRAUMATIZED FROM THE CUPS- LIKE.. WHY?!

I’m not to the level when we have to wear point shoes but, These are so Funny! I go to Relevé, we don’t really do point shoe dances!

4:34: I CANNOT- 😭

Posted: One hour ago Views: 2,198 Me: 😲Wooow 😊

7:50 I used to shower with my new soccer cleats as soon as I got them. I'd tie them up the same way I would for gametime and completely soak them through. Leaving them on and occasionally tightening the laces throughout the night. The leather would form to my foot and skip the "blister stage" of new cleats. Disclaimer - this only works with REAL QUALITY LEATHER. ((Kangaroo leather was popular when I was playing and I preferred it as well. So this is what my shoes were.)) Also - I take no responsibility for the beating you get when your parents find you in the shower with brand new shoes on.

At the part with the red shoes the audio was like gone or something and I thought that my devise was messed up

She is the cutest and my favorite for ever and so knowledgeable!!!

I think this is my favorite content, it really makes me laugh 😂

As a none ballet dancer I saw no difference between the two line’s sorry😂❤

3:36 What a coincidence (don’t know if I spelled that right) I actually when to see Hamilton live on Sunday 😁 Also I love your videos and I’m a dancer that is not on point yet but these videos make me super excited for my first point shows

If you're scared of tap on pointe, you should go watch some Irish dance tik tok. .... we do point work in our hard shoes, (make noise similar to tap shoes, but built with a thick flat toe so we can go up on point)

Was it just me or did the sound cut of in the beginning/middle?

Video idea: guess who’s feet they areq

33 mins ago, Josephine! Lmao Josephine’s reactions just make these better 😭

1:27 Josephine needs a counseling session now because she’s traumatized now 😭

Why does the audio keep cutting out in some of the videos?

I love this series 😂 there are some dance moms full episodes on RU-vid you should react too 😂 much love ❤️

While Toe-tap is cool to watch. It is very destructive to the knees. Your knees have to be bent all the time in order to get the taps to make sounds.

3:35 I'm one of those people... I'm sorry

K but her subscriber count is going up so fasttt thooo

3:36 is so true! But this one girl in my class- i don't what she was thinking and where her mind was off to, but she literally didn't care and she backed up into me like 18 times in a row. SHE STOLE MY WHOLE SPOT! 😨

The spacing one is so true😂

2:06 is when the sound comes back

Achievement unlocked: Cup-o-phobia

Not a tiktok but another video suggestion! Steezy Studio released a video of three choreographers to one song video which included a ballet dancer dancing to Dua Lipa's Levitating. The other two dancers are fine but really I'm obsessed with Britney's ballet version and think Josephine would also enjoy reacting to this other video! Tldr: Dua Lipa Levitating Steezy Studio Ballet

The first tiktok is a little horrifying tbh. To see all those broken shoes from ONE person. It still boggles my mind that a product used for its intended is destroyed so quickly and that this is generally accepted. So much waste :(

2:45 that's paula leggett chase! she was the original mitzi in the broadway production of crazy for you. She tapped en pointe in stiff upper lip while on a table! She's an icon.

The taps on Pointe shoes reminded me of Broadway Melody of 1929 and there is an entire tap routine on Pointe (1:05): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nabHJEyIXAc.html

I hate having to go the bathroom when practicing or performing, I HAVE TO STRIP TO GO THE BATHROOM 😭

Vera Ellen is an amazing pointe tapper. I die of envy watching her.

CUPS CUPS AND MORE CUPS !! Josephine is officially traumatised beyond the pointe of return

As a Hip Hop dancer, I always thought ballet is too childish and old dance, but my mind changed not long ago... Now I wish I'm ballerina instead of a Hip Hop dancer....

im a an 12 year old, im in a ballet class with 6-12... im the oldest and the 8 YEAR OLDS say they have pointe shoes and just where them at home (the ballet teacher wont let her where them thankfully. Me still being in normal ballet shoes(idk what they are called) and watch alot of ur vids, IS VERY CONCERERD. also i love ur vids if this could be in a vid (idk how) and 2 open a points shop in fl so i could get fitted buy you one day.

I havent done any dance at all and dont even have any friends who are currently doing dance and OH MY GOODNESS WHY ARE THESE VIDEOS SO ENTERTAINING?!?

I go to one of your pointe shops and every time I go I hope to see you. I am actually have an appointment next Thursday 🤣❤️

Does anyone have tips for the spilts and being more flexible in general?

Is it just me or does that audio stop for like a good minute or so?

Am I only one, who did that "cup" thing as kid in parents kitchen like 20yeras before it is viral??? :D Like before just your family knows how dumb your are and not entire internet knows? :D

The evil part of me kind of wants to send Josephine the x-rays of my ankle fracture for halloween, proper scary :P For context, my shinbone split in half lengthwise towards the knee, and my foot was skewered on the left split part of my tibia, sticking out near the toes - doctors had to "pull my foot off my leg" hahaha - it's funny now, but not so much at the time :P

Teh Kotak, made in Indonesia ❤ we love the tea so much here. Its great to see you having it in USA ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰

The spacing in dance class/Hamilton is perfect.

When I got my first pair of pointe shoes, I showed my friend who was training and hoping to get hers. The next day she walked into class with cups on. She didn’t even try and hide it. She had Disney socks on and even bragged to me that she got her pointe shoes too. She tried standing on pointe but the cup broke and she fell over. She insisted that she was telling the truth but it was so obvious that she turned red. I was trying not to laugh but I had an “are you stupid?” Look on my face. She got kicked out of class and I haven’t seen her since. I honestly don’t understand how she believed she could pull it off.

you should react to darlene gilbert pointe skates. shes a coach at my rink and shes like 80, but she still has her shoes back from when she was a teen. the video is on youtube

StoryTime ✨ so I tried talking to my non ballerina friend and I showed her a toundu and she said I can do that she did one and i yammered on and on about her feet looking pretty her arch and her toes not crunching and she literally ansked me if I had a feet fedish- girl I’m a BaLLerIna😂

the leather flat shoes😭😭😭 for years I thought that my feet weren't pointed at all and I would kill them for doing so many exercises becuase I thought that they just weren't strong and flexible enough, then one day I forget them and have to dance in socks and I was like why the hell do my feet look so good??? It's the shoes guys, it's the shoes

Can someone explain benefits of wearing tights over leotard... Leotards are one piece, you'd still have to strip to go to the bathroom... What was her pointe? Love her videos but that one doesn't make sense to me... ❤️

Y'know, there's a good chance the pointe shoe that got water poured in it was already dead. I doubt that someone with that many pointe shoes would intentionally kill a good pointe shoe.

7:47 She didn't actually she used the trick where you make it look like you're pouring something in, for exemple a pointe shoe, while it actually goes in smth hidden benhind it.

I used to do ballet as a child maybe like 3-4 years old, I still remember most of my Christmas performances, never had pointe shoes tho they look painful 😭

My big toes grow towards the other toes so I can’t even wear pointy toed heels…..learned that after one month of wearing pointy (too small) high heels every. Single. Day. And it took about half a year for my big toe to not overlap one of my other toes anymore.

1:36 after this, the audio is completely lost 😞

Bunion predisposition is an inheritable trait. It does not mean you will automatically have bunions, but it does mean that you need to take precautions and extra measures because it will take much less pressure and abuse of your feet to develop them. You can still get bunions if you are not predisposed to them, but your feet can take more abuse before you develop them, and you will not pass a predisposition to your descendants.

the cups also give me anxiety the tap shoes on pointe are what my nightmares are made of (but would love to see a show with those tho) the space themselves in class, i think i'm guilty (or just too tall idk maaan)

The person who put glue all over the bottom of there.....anchent😂looking.....pointshoe I think the thought they where so cool you can just see it

It's just me or every time I watch you I always change it to my ballet shoes and practice because I'm watching a ballet thing so why should be practicing my ballet

But like, regardless of whether you wear the tights over or under the leotard, you still have to strip down to go to the bathroom, right? Right? You only wear the tights over the leo to reduce tights laundry, so the pros said at the company I worked at.
