Same here! Though probably a bit different. Since first of all I would have been a bit late to get into ballet. And second, ended up in a wheelchair before I had the chance. (No pity party needed though! I live a genuinely happy life!) I still love everything Ballet/Dance though! Ever since I found Josephine’s channel, I haven’t missed a single video!! Or UA-cam hasn’t send a notification with every video? Gonna check after this if I missed any and will watch them back. And still need to watch back some older videos 😳 Just haven’t had the time yet.
@@Neptune_symbol0273 our right Edit: watched it again,, the lady in the video even comments at the very end of the clip 'and the (brand name) on the right' when the dancer puts her right foot forward, meaning her left our right is the wish shoe.
Ya know, if Josephine does a whole series reacting and commentating on ballet dances , I would really watch that. Like if we have commentators for sports, surely ballet could do that too?
Kathryn Morgan commented on her own performance of Romeo & Juliet and explained everything and it was hilarious :D would love to see Josephine do commentary too!
Yes, they do! At dance competitions, they normally don't let the audience hear, because it's just corrections and compliments for the dancers. Hope this helps!
1. Y'all owe Josephine more boba for those cup videos! 2. Yea those wish shoes are OBVIOUS! And I took one ballet class when I was five. I don't know that I've ever seen a pointe shoe in real life!
Wide feet gal here! I have forgotten that little toe nail is a real thing... 😳😳 But I do use a little nail polish to paint a tiny square there tho... It's like a gravestone for my long lost lil toe nails 😅
SAME! It was a while before I discovered the Gaynor Mindens that finally fit. I flip flopped between Capezio and Bloch for a while, and my right little toenail has never been heard from since. 😢😂
When you said EDS about the genetic edge, I wanted to cry. It's true. My feet are too perfect for pointe. I was told in high school by my dance teacher I had the most beautiful feet for pointe if I ever wanted to do it. Fast forward to being in the doctor's office being being told I have EDS explaining my hypermobility & joint dislocations. 😅 Fast forward to you. Lololol
Is it odd that I don't think it odd for Josephine to think seriously about the 'pad'? Had a milk spillage in the kitchen which got down a tiny narrow gap. That's going to stink if not cleaned up, but the cabinets are fitted. Hmm...🤔 Long stick with a tampon taped to the end - Sorted! 😁
Several years ago, my nephews were practice sword fighting and one of them got hit in the nose. His wife gave him a tampon to deal with the nose bleed. There's a photo.
@@lilibetp So, there is a device for nosebleeds called a Rhino Rocket, and not only does it look just like a small tampon, but the packaging even calls it a “high volume low pressure tamponade.” (≧∇≦)
Haha definitely not odd! My dad tripped over and bust his knee open on holiday a few years ago... apparently the hotel literally couldn't find their first aid box (a whole other level of worrying!) so my mum ended up patching him up with a Savlon / Always Ultra emergency combo till they could get to the local pharmacy.
I actually have EDS and most medical professionals don't even know what it is so you have no idea how exciting it is for me to hear you mention it (I know sad but 🤷🏼♀️)
I'm gonna be 100% honest... I think you should keep doing these because Josephine getting all worked up is kind of funny to watch. You know... in that "older sibling teasing a younger sibling," sort of way...
1:43 I have literally no experience with ballet, but as an Orthopedic Technician, videos of moments like these always give me a FREAKIN HEART ATTACK ☠️
I used a pad in an emergency for dance shoes when my shoes were unexpectedly lost right before the performance and they didn't have any more in my size. They weren't ballet shoes but I would not recommend, the adhesive kinda got melty and got all over my feet.
EDS recognition! EDS both made me really good at ballet and ultimately caused me to quit when my ankles became too unstable. Years of physical therapy and two hip surgeries later and I still can't do ballet at a high level anymore but I can figure skate! Three cheers for "giant solid boot."
Omg i sent in the first one!! So happy Josephine liked it as much as i did 😂 however, much to her dismay I now feel as though I need to send more for the next video hahaha
The understanding yet almost caught off guard nod Josephine did at 3:07 was sooo relatable lol🤣🤣 I’ve had my pointe shoes for I wanna say almost 2 1/2 years and some of these things are scarily relatable but also funny. And then you get the terrifying ones, that you can physically feel😅
More!! You're reactions are so perfect and I learn so much! It's (now not secretly) my dream to be a pointe shoe fitter but I don't know where to start.
Omg!! This is the first time I’ve heard someone mention EDS!! I had to quit dance because of it but for 22 years, everyone just thought I was naturally flexible for gymnastics and dance
Despite never getting good enough to make it to Pointe, I just watched all of these reacts and a bunch of other videos on this channel and I am STILL thrust right back to my days doing ballet in a small town as a teenager. I'm not sure my poor feet could have handled point. I have zero arch and my feet aren't terribly flexible. I also danced like a calf romping through a field of daisies. I sure do miss ballet though!
I love these videos. I teach ballet and jazz and I swear the pointe shoe fitters here (in Singapore) are not great. One of my girls got a pointe shoe that had terrible bunching and twisting and the sides gaped when she went up en pointe 🤦🏻♀️ really wish they could get fitted by Josephine!!
Litro so happy to hear that you and others know what EDS is, I've been trying to get my diagnosis for years bc I have extreme pain with it. Hello all my EDS friends 💕
Hi Josephine I’m Katelynn and I’ve been dancing ballet since I was twelve just gonna throw this out there-using period pads is not great;however, using removable bra padding is high key amazing definitely recommend
I fully credit watching this channel as to being the only reason I could identify the shoe from Wish. Before finding this channel, all of the pointe shoes looked essentially the same.
Not me hearing EDS and being so confused cause I was told that doing ballet half my life made mine worse….(I have flat feet so 0 arches so I’m screwed anyway)
I just found & and started watching these earlier this week. I danced from 2-17. But only went on pointe when our ballet teacher saw we seemed strong enough. I was 11 thru 17. My body alone was not made to even try to be a ballet dancer, & honestly did ballet & pointe bc ballet is necessary for all dance.. and pointe strengthened my ankles and helped my balance. But my body.. I was short,very tiny, was all muscle, shorter neck, broad shoulders (I also enjoyed gymnastics). And from 18 and on I have been teaching at different studios... even ballet bc doing 3hr classes/3 days a week(but danced really contemporary, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical). So I can't NOT remember every step from warm up on barre to in center grande adagio, petite allegro, etc., and then across the floor. So I LOVEEE these videos all compiled and ur reactions ESPECIALLY from you as a ballerina/real/actual pointe shoe fitter. But as a dancer, so many of these vids are hilarious/so accurate, if you understand it especially. Just like another person said, just like there are ppl who do comments on dif. sports like football, soccer, baseball, etc. So I love you Josephine, doing these. Some like those damn cup vids are scary 😮... but majority (as long as safe) are hilarious 😂.
I had a teacher who used paddings on the top of her feet for auditions and presentations to make them look more bendy. I've never thought it looked prettier, though 😂😂😂
It's always a good reminder of how much internet i consume where i could guess the video twist most of the time and josephine couldnt, gotta expect the unexpected
I'm getting my pointe shoes in 32 days and I can't wait. I should have gotten them 8 months ago but due to covid the fitting was cancelled. I'm so excited
Loved the “EDS” moment. My feet are flat as hell but (pre wrecking my knee), you know I took advantage of how bendy and pretty that abnormal connective tissue made them look on my shoes.
When I was first getting started en pointe they fitted me wrong (too wide of a box, my toes are tapered) and it was incredibly painful- then I found Freed of London and everything changed. Bless.
Okay somewhere around the 3:12 mark you have the Kim Possible ringtone going off, and it made me pause the video and go look for my phone, because that is my text message ring tone! lol.
I love all of your videos Josephine, there so great. I have only been doing ballet for like 8 months but im already so good at it, i am starting ballet A, which is going into pointe and im so excited
I lost my pinky toenails from boots in the Army. So I'm not surprised if you lose them in dancing. Strangely we used pads for our elbows when you have to low crawl.
haha i LOVED it when she said im a real balleT dancer!! that was so funny! but fun fact im Israeli and have been taking Hebrew ballet classes for a while and here in Israel its pronounced balleT without a silent T!

Who else loves Josephine’s 1000 faces of absolute horror and delight? 🙋🏻♀️
I definitely love them
Me! 🤡🍬🎠🎪🍭✨🩰
love em
I feel like I just love Josephine.
I do!
Whoever’s holding Josephine captive and making her watch the cup shoe videos… it’s entertaining at least
This poor woman. XD
josephine + ballet tiktoks = every emotion to ever exist
“And this is just a skin tag”😂😂😂😂😂 that girl is awesome. Also loved the shoe description/ graveyard TikTok.
1. Y'all owe Josephine more boba for those cup videos!
2. Yea those wish shoes are OBVIOUS! And I took one ballet class when I was five. I don't know that I've ever seen a pointe shoe in real life!
I don't know...those Wish shoes exceeded my expectations of them (not that I would pick them over other shoes)
I've never taken a ballet class and I was able to identify the Wish shoe.
It was the useless bow that gave it away for me it's like they took regular ballet flats and put a box in it
Her tik tok reactions are always the best 😂😂

Honestly my pinkie toenail is cut so short that if i lost that toenail i doubt i would even notice
I stopped ballet before mine had a chance to ditch me, but the fear was always present. (≧∇≦)

I took a first aid class that recommended them for wounds that are bleeding a lot. Not weird, just resourceful!

We keep them in our farm first aid kits. They are really good for wounds on large animals, and sometimes large wounds on people.
The toe girl got me 😂😂😂 my middle school science teacher used to ask me if I did toe and was like, absolutely not, but I do pointe

Ahhh another zebra! I have extremely flat feet so my ankles roll in point shoes

As a dancer, it tears my soul out to see the cups😢 I literally covered my eyes😂
Omg i sent in the first one!! So happy Josephine liked it as much as i did 😂 however, much to her dismay I now feel as though I need to send more for the next video hahaha

I have used an old fashioned cotton sanitary pad way back in the ‘70! Our options were very limited in the Stone Age!
First time I have watched this and I will now have to watch Nos. 1 to 5. Hilarious but really serious at the same time. Josephine knows her business.
The wish shoe was so insanely obvious
Also, yes I want more
Which one was it?
@@Phoebefoster The Wish shoe had the bow on the front. The quality shoe had the strap over the top of the foot.
Ok, but why is Josephine so pretty?!?
She is SO PRETTY, you guys!!!
It just makes my day watching Josephine react to tiktoks
Your reactions are fantastic! I’d love to see more :)
Eds mentioned makes me so happy actually 4:04 i wanna do ballet again someday
I'd love to see her react to Coworkers learn "the Nutcracker" ballet ... That video makes me crack everytime, Josephine would DIE
