Pointe Shoe Fitter REACTS to BALLET TIK TOK 39
Introduction
Hey, it’s Josephine from The Pointe Shop! This is TikTok 39, and we're almost at 40. Here we go!
POV: Taking Your Hair Out After Dance
Oh, that feels so good. There's nothing quite like taking out that one bobby pin that's been bothering you the whole class. It's the best feeling ever!
The Designated Person in the Group
When everyone's dancing on stage and you're the designated person, it's a unique experience. I was always so jealous of that person; they look so beautiful.
Ballet High Heels vs. Hell's High Heels
I was wondering what Hell's high heels were. They seem stable, but why are they called ballet high heels? They look terrifying yet supportive because they lace up around the ankle. The other kind looks way scarier and less stable, though.
Veterinary Medicine Meets Dance Anatomy
Gainer is shown here, which is so cute. They also go through different stages: heels on the floor, Demi-Pointe, and On Pointe. It's all very informative and adorable.
Mind-Blowing Precision and Artistry
Danell is amazing. Did someone hit the pause button? It’s unreal, and she’s dancing on concrete! It’s so beautiful to watch.
Magical Swan Ballet
A magical video featuring real dancers that turns out to be an advertisement for makeup. It’s cool to see ballet being embraced in our society nowadays.
Different Types of Dancers at the Bar
We have the endless warm-ups person, the no spatial awareness type, constantly looking in the mirror, and always in pain. They’re all adorable!
Professional Ballet Dancer in Hong Kong
I love the Hong Kong Ballet. They speak in French during class because it’s the universal ballet language. They have diverse dancers from around the world. They discussed the pain and preparation like covering toes with an ouch pouch, using makeup sponges, and spacers.
Pointe Shoes
They wear two different pointe shoes: Bloch and Freed. The colors, lavender and pink, are stunning. This segment also highlights the beautiful and skilled dancers of Hong Kong.
Trying Pointe for the First Time
Someone tries dancing on pointe for the first time. The shoes look squishy, and you can tell it's a challenge.
Pointe Shoe Brands
In San Francisco Ballet, dancers commonly wear Gaynor Minden and Capezio. Knowing different brands and their features is crucial.
Korean Ballet Company
Some dancers are from a Korean ballet company; their feet and turnout are impressive. They look like they might have met at YAGP finals.
Stretch Class
Everyone does this, and it's relatable. It's a neat and fun observation.
That wraps up TikTok 39! Thank you for watching, and keep tagging us in these videos. I'll see you next time!
