    Omg heart in my throat. A girl at my studio was in class and the shank of her shoe snapped and she snapped her entire arch in her foot. So many broken bones and ligaments. Ended her career. She had just been accepted into a ballet company. 😢

    Josephine, you teach more than proper pointe shoe fitting. You actually teach how to be *nice* to other people.. how to say something kind and come from a place of showing concern, rather than saying something mocking or mean. I saw the blurb about your brothers being bullied and that it led you to have a no bullying policy. I think we all need to learn that lesson from you.

    Josephine, I'm in NZ and in my late 30's an I've always really liked ballet but never thought it was for me... But thanks to watching your content 24/7 while recovering from COVID-19, a month ago, I finally decided to give it a real go... And let me tell you, I've been (ballet) training, stretching and exercising every day (for hours) during the last month, and my instructor told me that it's time to get demi-pointe shoes, as she thinks my feet are strong enough and she wants me to achieve my goal of going on pointe (without EVER doing ballet in my life)! Thanks so much for giving me the inspiration and the courage to try ballet... My dream is to, next summer, fly over to the Bay Area and get fitted by YOU!!! Here's hoping, right?!

I'm in Christchurch (South Island of New Zealand), and for some reason, there were plenty of studios that cater to adult dancers. I do two one-hour private lessons and attend two (and one hour each) adult open classes a week. It is super expensive and I cannot afford any more, so I do stretching and strengthening exercises at home, every single day...

      I wish you both all the best. I teach recreational ballet classes at the University where I live. I have taught creative dance and ballet to students from age 2 to those in their 70s. I love teaching adult ballet because the dancers are there because they want to be. (No momma drama!). Btw- my ballet teachers danced with ABT, San Francisco Ballet, and studied with Balanchine. So bunheads, don’t disregard recreational ballet.

    There was a girl whose shoe came partly off during her performance at YAGP this year. She was trying to keep going but thankfully they stopped her and asked to her to leave the stage before she got hurt. Then she came back later and was able to dance again. I think all competitions should allow this rather that making a dancer try to continue with a damaged shoe.

    3:47 absolutely made me jump out of my skin, I am personally triggered. It wasn't pointe, but I did have a dancing-related incident where I broke the middle three metatarsals in one of my feet which you can only do by going completely over on your foot like in exactly that way but with weight on it. That was like 20 years ago. My entire being has left the stratosphere with this reminder regardless. Mine was just a cruel accident involving sliding on the stage floor, that person's shoes are like a horror movie in one image.
    Edit: Oh no, there was much more. Actually dying inside
    Edit: I honestly think it's worse to watch than to do. Like, was I also a nervous wreck watching that ballerina continue to dance like a pro with the one heel loose? Yes. Did I continue my dance to the end in the above story? Also yes. No one knew anything had happened until I finally got backstage and only at that point did I break down.

    Oh Josephine, why did you do this? You poor girl! Those clips were horrifying!
    I'm not a dancer and I only started watching ballet a few years ago so I don't have very close emotional ties to ballet shoes.
    I was doing OK with the first few clips were they were merely abusing the shoes, although I know how I would feel if I saw people casually trashing and mutilating sports or music equipment I love dearly. 🥴
    Then, the sudden cracking of the feet in hideous position started. 😳🫣😵‍💫Honestly, I couldn't finish the video. 🤢
    Please don't do this psychological torture to yourself again! It's not necessary for entertainment purposes.
    It doesn't matter how much you cringe or don't cringe! You're such a consistently sweet and kind presence on UA-cam and you should not be treated like this!
    The professional dancer with the needle in her shoe, does she have a UA-cam channel? What is her full name please?

    THANK YOU Josephine for doing your videos. I hope people hear you & become better educated of right & wrong about ballet.
    Saying that...
    *RANT TO FOLLOW* you were warned
    The *plastic cup* pointe shoes has been WAY overdone & is insulting to true ballerinas! They are making a joke out of boys & girls and men & women who work very hard. All just for views.
    Getting to the physical level to go on pointe. It takes years of training to do it safely. Bones have to be strong enough. That won't happen until a certain age.
    By the way "cuppers", you or someone who sees you & tries it can really hurt. By popping on some cups to pretend your a ballerina. You might snap a tendon or breaking an ankle.
    Even if you are a ballet dancer, cups are NOT BALLET SHOES! Does your teacher know you're doing this? I bet they don't.
    The "cupper" videos are boring. First 2 or 3 might have been funny. Over at least 40 not & I don't watch YT for hours.
    Please stop.
    I am shocked if anyone, but your friends are watching these "cup" videos. Unless you created the idea.

    More seriously, I never had any blister when I was on pointe.
    I can't stand pain, so I had a big ritual, which included nail trimming, massages with a cream, streches, bandages on the first and second toes... And I would always wear thight or socks to let the foot slide in the shoe with no frictions, which wouldn't caused heat, then blisters.
    I never danced professionnally, but I would expect more care for the feet and body in all as your art grows with you.
