1:05 Josephine: You know, ballerinas really don't have balance.
Girl in the next clip: hold my glass

Let us eat cake 🎂 😂😂 Josephine wants a pointe shoe cake. Someone needs to make it happen for her 😁😉🤣🤣

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!

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!

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.

I have a pointe shoe fitting today with Josephine! I am super nervous but also very excited 😊

[mareiketi]

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

[宋玉芳]

Josephine slowly but surely losing her sanity is comedy gold 😭





who the hell am i kidding it was gone by like tiktok 10

[beckettmullen]

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!

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.

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

[heidi_starr]

i love the different expressions and vibes throughout these videos 😭😭

[probablylola]

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!! 💗

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.

[emmasheehan]

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!

[NanaShawnia]

I'm still on the other side of the half ball! That ballerina balancing 😮my foot drop would never allow me. I am so impressed with what dancers can do💜

[AbstractlyMe]

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

[bellelewis]

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

[sargassum]

Growing up, our ballet studio had rotating chores for senior students. Vacuuming, mirrors, etc. Coastal, southern US. I am in my mid-thirties.

[karinaehoff]

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 💀
