I love how she didn't get down from the releve until you told her she could. Ballet class conditioning xD

It's really important for girls Going On Pointe for the first time to have the best shoes possible. It's a big deal for these girls to get their first pair of pointe shoes and I'm glad you were able to help them out. Doing point is not easy, it requires years of practice and preparation. You guys do an amazing job helping these dancers

god i WISH someone this well informed helped me pick out pointe shoes for the first time. a pointe shoe fitting is s literal DREAM. (i knew literally nothing of pointe shoes when i got my first like, , , three pairs? and still close to nothing for the next two)

I have extremely hyperextended knees, it's horrible to get correctly on pointe. Everyone think it's beautiful but they don't know how hard it is for the dancer.

Y’all I just got my first pair today! Props to Josephine for hyping me up for 3 years! 🥳🥳🥳

I just got my pointe shoes today! Every time the fitters told me to do something, I already knew because I've been watching all these videos 😂😂😂 for toe pads I got the Ouch Pouches too. Love your videos Josephine!!!

[addietravis]

I’m so excited! I’m getting mine tomorrow. I’ve been dancing at my studio for almost 7 years now. I’ve been dreaming of getting these shoes sense I knew what they even were when I was about 3. Tomorrow is gonna be the start of a new journey for me!

I absolutely love watching your videos! I am NOT a ballerina, nor have anything to do with it, but...I am a cosmetologist that works with feet in addition to hair. I know it doesn’t seem too relevant, but...I must say, your knowledge and ability to talk through your decisions have made me more attentive to individual feet and help me identify a lot of walking habits and patterns with clients!

I know how important it is to have the best pointe shoes possible. When I had my first pair the lady just slapped the shoes on and said '' Ah, that'll do!'' After the first hour the broke and I twisted my ancle! That girl is so glad to be having you guys fit her for her first pair, I wish I could of had someone as good as you 😃

[jascurry]

I remember watching this a couple years ago and seeing all the comments saying "just got my first pair!" Or "about to get my first pointe shoes!!" And thinking to myself, wow, I can't wait until it's my turn. And now I get to be one of the commenters I looked up to because I'm getting my first pair on Monday! Still feels so surreal 🥰

Nice!! My 1st pointe shoes were soft grishkos, but they were a little too tapered. I have really hyper extended knees and remember how difficult it was too get onto the box 😅

[oliviamclaughlin]

I am going on pointe soon and going to get my fitting! You have really made me understand more and you have given me tips so Thank you 🙏

[yvonneleslie]

I would like to know which brands of shoes you were putting on her...

[sofiah]

I’ve been practicing ballet since I was 4 or 3 years old I’m 11 now and I’m getting my pointe shoes in two more days, and I’m really exited 😃

[diarraamoa]

She should do a fitting for flat feet i have flat feet and its hard but if you work really hard you get pretty and strong feet.

[hanzohattori]

where did she get that skirt.its beautiful

[angelahua]

I've been dancing since I was about 4 (I'm almost 11 now) and I was supposed to get my pointe shoes in March, but thanks to COVID, I'm still waiting.

[grace]

I’m getting my first pointe shoes on Tuesday! I’m so happy.

[lucygrayson]

I think I would struggle if I ever had pointe shoes (saying that I'm 18 and only just started ballet), only because I have hyperextended knees that still lock out sometimes and I have really weird large spaces in between my 1st, 2nd and 3rd toe on my left foot. I also have Greek feet!!!!

[maggieroquemore]

I love these videos they are so helpful and It took a lot of stress off of me because I knew what to expect at the fitting!
