I will toss in my vote for historical reaction videos too! So much has changed with pointe shoes. Would love to hear Josephine’s thoughts on that and I’m always up to hearing anything from Katie :)
2:15 Thank you so much for bringing up Hypermobility! I danced for over two decades and my instructors were always impressed with my insane, natural flexibility. Turns out I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and now that I'm in my 30s I'm REALLY paying for all my years of over excessive stretching. Most days I can barely keep my joints in the sockets. I really worry for both younger and future generations that are being taught at such a young age to bend and stretch their bodies in such extreme ways. Always listen to your body! 💖
My Ehlers caused me to stop dancing and have back surgery at 19 and I'm in need of another. My teachers loved my hypermobility. Very dangerous if not taught correctly
I have EDS too and it's super painful now :( I made a really difficult decision to continue dancing even though it really hurts. I really really work on pain management every night and I can't dance every day that I want to but I just do every day that I can, bc I know I'm probably going to be in a wheelchair either part or full time someday either way. I've been working really hard to manage it with the right therapists and I'm hoping it goes okay for a little longer! It's sooooo hard to hear that part when we get diagnosed :( 'the worst thing for this is ballet'.......wtf do you mean?!?!?!
@@winterrrsea1674 It really is such an additional low blow when you're already dealing with the diagnosis of EDS. I truly hope you're able to keep dancing (healthily) for awhile! 🦓💖
I absolutely love watching dancers prepare for YAGP because when I was a young dancer I was supposed to compete in YAGP back in like 2006 (or something like that) and never got the opportunity to. Every year I'm always glued to my screen watching the videos from every YAGP because these young dancers worked so hard and they deserve a bigger audience.
This is wonderful for everyone to see! The functionality of the shoe and how unique a pointe shoe can be to a dancers need , ability and shape is very interesting. Plus the dancers are super solid in their variations and are a joy to watch 🌸🌸🥰 Definitely more of this 💗💗
Okay, I’m so so loving these collaboration videos. I’m not in ballet, but I love how you both interact and bring both your expertises together in this video. Collab videos? Yes please!
Please do more of these!! Any dancers 🩰 who want to perform any parts! I can watch it ALL DAY! The way you critique is very nice, (and the addition of pointe shoe critique is quite helpful)!! I love it 💕 ooO and maybe even before and after performances where you refit shoes for them and later show them dancing another part. I love that these aren’t just short clips and cuts, rather you allow them to dance through the whole section from a piece.
This is what I've been wanting! Commentary whilst the performance is going on makes it more accessible for everyone! Love it. Thanks so much Josephine and Kathryn! ❤️
I literally watched Lexi twice she has such a beautiful smile and dancer, she is just beautiful, her presents and technique are marvelous! I would love to see her perform if she has a UA-cam channel.
This was so much fun. Loved hearing you guys commenting on the dancing, the feet, the shoes. Loved seeing the dancing and the girls trying to fit their dances into a tiny space and almost ending up out the door or in the audience. Would love love love to see more of these. Would also love to see a fitting with the first girl that you both thought wasn't fitted well.
This was brilliant because it showed what each of you see, clearly and concisely. The viewpoints come from different places, yet complement each other to create a better, stronger, more stable dancer, who in turn, can go out and shine. 💜
This is worth an extra channel! More specific: These Three performances commented in real time let me see things I haven't seen before, and I have seen a lot of ballet videos! Then there is this magic that happens when two kind and open minded friends share a conversation! This is such a pleasure in itself! I am convinced that this is something special that you really should consider to continue! I can see that this could win people for ballet who otherwise never would spare a thought for it!
PLEASE more of these im obsessed. I LOVE watching ballet and different dancers etc. which is why I found your channel in this first place so this format is literally *chefs kiss*
Make more of these videos! I can’t believe how much I just learned from the two of you about Dance, about shoes, about what makes a dance are good… Thank you so much!
Would love to see a video where you got the first and last girls new shoes. The first one for sure, but the third girl seemed to be going way over her box. She could just need some strategic darning, but I would love to see what you could do with each of them and see a before and after of the variations!
More of this please! I love the commentary over the dance b/c it really does remind you that this isn't just some pretty hobby, these dancers are trained and their tools (the shoes) are important. I love this style of video and hope you do more.
I would LOVE more videos like this! It's so nice to see you two be so positive and encouraging as a first priority while still pointing stuff out. And also in my opinion it's way more fun to watch dancers "together"
The best part of this commentary and the judges is that Jo and Kathryn make a point to say something positive and encouraging to every single dancer, and any criticism is not 'this is wrong, do this instead' it's "try this to improve that skill.'
I love watching these videos and watching the dancers. I always wanted to do ballet as a child. It wasn't an option and none of my kids were interested sadly. I live vicariously through these!
This is amazing thank you so much for doing this, I always find when watching people perform there are little things like the transition that I can sometimes miss too busy to look at so having things specifically pointed out was enlightening
I loved this. I love the collab. It’s interesting to see professionals talking about the techniques etc that people like me can understand why we see so many differences.
I've never danced but I love this channel. Only seen 1 ballet in my life and I was 11, I went with the school. It was Coppelia and I loved it. This channel is so interesting, keep up the good work Josephine
I'm only on the first dancer and Payton is so sweet 🥺 I just wanna squeeze her. I feel so protective over girls at that age, I just want them to know how precious they are
I love this! I spent so much time at The Rock doing adult classes between college years, so I instantly recognized the studio. That place is a gift to Vegas dancers, and the talent there is unreal. I love these videos so much! I’d like to see you fit the first girl in some better, less distracting shoes, too!
You guys should totally do this on a regular basis like they do for football and hockey!🥰 Now we just need a weekly ballet competition tu tu bring all the dancers from all over the world to compete? That would be so cool!!!!🥰❤️🌸🌹🌼🍀💐
this is such a cool idea, it’d be fun for you to do more commentary like this (even of a recorded performance, maybe some old school ballerinas too)
Yes! Historic performances and styles and what was the goal then vs now etc. would be amazing,
I will toss in my vote for historical reaction videos too! So much has changed with pointe shoes. Would love to hear Josephine’s thoughts on that and I’m always up to hearing anything from Katie :)
This is a great idea!! I love Kathryn's commentary videos, but I'd love to hear a few of them with both!
ohmygosh Lexi is BEYOND technically solid and watching her dance while having fun with it is inspiring!

@@maitlandjohnson85 I truly feel your pain. Do you have kEDS, too? I'm a "multiple types" Zebra. 🦓💖

dancers need to do both strength and mobility work. Strength helps you control your hypermobility.
I absolutely love watching dancers prepare for YAGP because when I was a young dancer I was supposed to compete in YAGP back in like 2006 (or something like that) and never got the opportunity to. Every year I'm always glued to my screen watching the videos from every YAGP because these young dancers worked so hard and they deserve a bigger audience.
Wow Lexi is the first dancer I can remember who literally put a smile on my face, she just lights up the room with her effortless artistry.
Did you get that first young lady a new set of shoes? Because they were scary distracting!
I love this collaboration! More please!!
That's what I was gonna ask.
I wondered that. Hope so, she is a lovely dancer.
Same here. Those 🩰 are not helping her. 👍 🩰
My question too.
Yes my question also
Even as a non-dancer this was so fun! Thanks everyone!!
I so enjoyed this! I would love to see more collaborations, Katie and Josephine!!
This is wonderful for everyone to see! The functionality of the shoe and how unique a pointe shoe can be to a dancers need , ability and shape is very interesting. Plus the dancers are super solid in their variations and are a joy to watch 🌸🌸🥰 Definitely more of this 💗💗
Living for all these collabs with Kathryn!! Seriously. They are the best.
More of this‼️ We get to see the shoes functioning for the dancer. And we get to see the dancers coming into their style and talent.
Okay, I’m so so loving these collaboration videos. I’m not in ballet, but I love how you both interact and bring both your expertises together in this video. Collab videos? Yes please!

So much respect for the dancers here because God knows I'd be SO nervous if I was not only dancing on camera but in front of Josephine AND Kathryn
I literally watched Lexi twice she has such a beautiful smile and dancer, she is just beautiful, her presents and technique are marvelous! I would love to see her perform if she has a UA-cam channel.
I thought this was a video! I didn't realize they were dancing in front of you! This is so beautiful 😍
More Please!!! I loved all the dancers. So beautiful 😊 I'd love to see a follow up shoe fitting with the first dancer!
That third dancer is amazing! I would love to watch her in a full ballet!
Love the combination of Kathryn & Josephine! You both have the same warm, encouraging nature with just the right amount of snark thrown in for flavor!
This was so much fun. Loved hearing you guys commenting on the dancing, the feet, the shoes. Loved seeing the dancing and the girls trying to fit their dances into a tiny space and almost ending up out the door or in the audience. Would love love love to see more of these. Would also love to see a fitting with the first girl that you both thought wasn't fitted well.
I'd love to see a video where Josephine fits the dancers next 😍 'cause two of the three would surely benefit from switching shoes 😊
This was brilliant because it showed what each of you see, clearly and concisely. The viewpoints come from different places, yet complement each other to create a better, stronger, more stable dancer, who in turn, can go out and shine. 💜
All of these dancers are so talented! definitely would like to see more.

I'm not a dancer but please do more of these, it was so enjoyable to watch.
I love this! I could watch all day! The girls are beautiful dancers and I really enjoy the commentary.
I never knew how much I needed figure-skating-style commentary of ballet dancers going through their routines
That was the most fun video on ur whole channel!!! It was so fun to watch
Wanna see more?

Love this! Kathryn and Josephine collabs are my favorite!
I would like to see how the first girl danced after you found her the right shoe. I also smiled with Lexi she looked effortless.
I really liked this! I would LOVE to see more of these :D
Loved these performances and the commentary. Would love to see the first dancer's pointe shoe fitting with Josephine!
Yes!!!! More please!!! Love the combo of you two together!!!!
More of this please! I love the commentary over the dance b/c it really does remind you that this isn't just some pretty hobby, these dancers are trained and their tools (the shoes) are important. I love this style of video and hope you do more.
Please do more of these! I loved watching the dancers with your comments.
Lexi dances with the same grace as Natalia Osipova. She’s just stunning, wow. She floats!
I would LOVE more videos like this! It's so nice to see you two be so positive and encouraging as a first priority while still pointing stuff out. And also in my opinion it's way more fun to watch dancers "together"
Oh Kathryn cutie! Sooo good to see you. Josephine thank you for having her on your show. This is great - both of you!
The best part of this commentary and the judges is that Jo and Kathryn make a point to say something positive and encouraging to every single dancer, and any criticism is not 'this is wrong, do this instead' it's "try this to improve that skill.'
Oh yes! Please more of like this! Love seeing the young dancers.
This is such a great series!!!! Love hearing experts speaking respectfully but critically! Merdi to all those dancing!
