pointe shoe fitter reacts to BALLET TIK TOK 49

Introduction

It's hard to believe we've reached TikTok 49—almost half a century in this series! It feels like just yesterday I was starting on this journey. I've met a man, had a baby, and honestly, it feels like I've aged 50 years through this experience. A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey with me!

To celebrate, I’ve got a three-drink minimum, and let’s dive into TikTok 49!

As I watch, the energy is sky-high with all sorts of wild performances. The ending really made an impression. One video caught my attention where a performer uses a fan for balance while tightrope walking—how fascinating! I wondered why they only used one hand, as two hands seem more reliable for stability. The technique is impressive though; her toe hops are on point! The arched position of her feet is stunning—truly one of the prettiest I've seen.

Moving on, I stumbled across what appeared to be crystallized geode crystals. The visuals were mesmerizing—if only I had a donut to help with the sweet buzz of amazement! My love for ballet runs deep, but let’s talk about the injuries dancers face. One clip showed feet getting stuck—a scene that made me think of the Wicked Witch of the West. In another segment, someone is on their phone while their feet get stuck—talk about a distraction!

The video progress launched into alternative options for cosplay pointe shoes. Demi-point shoes and ballet slippers seem like great alternatives, as do square-toed ballet flats. The idea of a ballet class combined with cosplay intrigues me! What themed music would we choose? Perhaps something from Barbie or 12 Dancing Princesses? The possibilities are endless and exhilarating!

A few cat videos popped up, which were adorable. However, they also reminded me that some people can rock anything, including random cups—they just have that ability!

As an adult ballet student, I can relate to the struggles of injuries, which often come from regular activities rather than ballet itself. Sweatpants throughout class? Absolutely! And as an adult student, sometimes I can’t remember if I'm a right turner or a left turner—it really varies by the day!

Educating on injury recovery, one expert discussed how visual input affects balance rehabilitation. Did you know that after an ankle sprain, you rely more on your vision for tasks? It was enlightening to learn how to encourage natural corrections to prevent re-injuries.

In the rapid-fire games of naming ballet essentials, we encountered familiar terms—bodysuit, leotard, toe shoes, point shoes—but it’s interesting to note variations in terms used in different countries.

I laughed at a clip featuring someone dressed like Patrick (from SpongeBob), which was delightfully bizarre and engaging. That's a wrap for TikTok 49! Just one step closer to the big 50. I feel like I'm aging as we do this, but it’s been a joy.
