Please bring professionals customizing their shoes back!! ❤️
Seconding this! It was one of my favorite series because you learned so much not only about the shoes but also insight into the dancers approach to dance.
Thirding the request! Especially if we get to see the dancers dance in their customized shoes.
Yeeeeees, please!!!!
pls bring it back!!!
I’m not a ballerina, but I find it so fascinating!
Yes please bring the series back. And the one about fittings. And you did a couple where you looked at people dancing and talked about their shoes, I think with Kathryn Morgan. The more technical videos are always my favourites. The reaction videos are fun, I appreciate they get views and make you money, but there are not as many people with the hard core technical knowledge serving the nerd population so any scraps you can feed us are gratefully received.
Yeeeeees, this!!!! I feel so sad that the reaction videos get a looooooooooot more views than the informative ones. There's so much to learn with Josephine and don't really learn much with the reaction videos 😔
@@natakatsivalis It must be because it's more entertaining.
And some people are not interested learning hard core techniques.
I want the technical knowledge too!
This is so crazy! I’ve never danced ballet beyond little kid stuff. How long will this shoe last for a professional? Really only a few hours?
Cheese! Please bring back customization videos, they are fascinating.
So she does this multiple times per week? Because her shoes only last a few hours each time?
Too much commentary is annoying when you are trying to understand what the ballerina is saying about customising pointe shoes. Let the video do most of the talking and stop interrupting all the time. It's overkill.
You can watch the original video for Maria's commentary. This video is intended for Josephine's commentary.
The way she sits could be a meme... "Tell me you're a ballerina with out telling me you're a ballerina." Those pointed toes! OMG, so nice.
are ya a cheese queen or a veggie sista? 🧀🥬
Cheese on vegetables.🤣
Yes.
¿por qué no los dos?
Cheese.
@@emmysrandomcrafts Mmmm...nacho cheese on steamed broccoli. So good!
I started watching Maria Khoreva videos during the pandemic. She’s that precise about explaining everything it’s cool. She actually does a lot of dual explaining in English and in Russian. She’s also that flexible head to toe, her extensions are mind boggling. But, in a video she mentioned she started in rhythmic gymnastics before ballet, so that helps definitely.
I find the customizing and pro fitting videos really cool to see. it amazes me that even though some dancers get customized, handmade shoes, they still have so many little (and big) things to do! my mom used to dance for NYCB (back in late '50s/early '60s), and she's told me stories of some girls using raw meat basically as toes pads/cushioning! she was always insistent on it... but thinking back, I always studied contemporary dance, and maybe it was just a horror story to keep me out of the ballet vortex!?
oh wow!
Please bring back shoe hacks. It’s interesting watching the various ways the dancers customize their shoes and their reasons for each hack. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if you had a brief bio about each dancer.
Once was dressy on a ballet and one of the student dancers’s shoes were starting to go and one of the solo artists took her a side and said “the shoe bin is down the hall just go grab a new pair - no one will know” it was so wholesome cause the student was so happy with her new shoes. It was so cute
"I eat cheese and she... eats vegetables." 😂
Never in my life have I used it for anything other than cheese lol this gave me a good giggle
I use the same tool for cheese and carrots, works either way, and both go great on a big juicy salad.
Loved the video (as always!). Btw, she always introduces herself on the beginning of her videos, so you can easily learn to pronounce her name correctly. It's Choreva, like a pronnounced "H" not "Ch" and not "K". :)
I used to 3/4 my shanks when I had traditional shanks because it prevented the shank from breaking too low and dying very, very fast. All depends on how your foot type stresses the shank. Now I have synthetic shanks which are very resilient. I also pre-jet glue the end of the box mostly as a moisture seal to prolong the life of the glue so the back of the platform won't soften and sink as soon.
Not Josephine biting her lip watching Maria Khoreva pointing her foot 😂
The professional customization series was why i started following you! Please bring it back!
Me too!!!! My first video was the one with Beckanne Sisk and I loved it so much that I started to binge watch all of her videos. It's one of the few good memories I have from the pandemic.
I love the disclaimers you give about learners not partaking in certain customizations, as they are not applicable to non-professionals.
Please, bring back the interviews with the professionals!!! It was my favorite series along with the one where you explained the characteristics of different pointe shoes. You are very knowledgeable and it's nice when we can learn with you!!
I took one ballet class. With adults. When I was 16. But I have always loved ballet. I don't know why I started watching your videos but now I watch just about every single one and the amount of information I currently have on pointe shoes is kinda insane.
I loved the pro pointe shoe hacks videos. I still can't get over how Skylar Brandt preps her shoes. Please make them a regular series!
I love the series of shoe hacks. 👍
Her last name is pronounced "Horeva", the K isn't really pronounced.
I love Masha. She's one of my favorite dancers!
Yessss more pointe shoe hacks please!
Dancers customizing their shoes is like people getting their clothing tailored, both start with getting something in a base size that fits but then it is getting altered and refined to be perfect to you and only you!!
So excited for this video!
I JUST GOT MY POINTE SHOE LETTER IM CRYING😭😭😭😭YOUR SUCH AND INSPIRATION TO ME
You know what ballet did to me? I frankenstein my street shoes. Like add weird pads and sew elastics inside my running shoes or heels or make cuts inside my new converses in very specific places, so they're instantly broken in...
Please tell me more about the cuts in converse
I would love to see more videos like this one, reacting to and explaining to us newbies dancers breaking in their shoes.
Would love to see a review of Tyrion Law’s customisation of her pointe shoes, her darning technique is amazing! She dances for the Ballet of Canada and thanks for doing this review of Maria Khoreva, she has returned back to dance after an injury
I'm starting ballet dance next month, on the very month I turn 28 years old. And I must say, a small but not negligeable amount of what made me do it was Josephine's dedication and passion for all of this. If by chance, someday, you happen to see my feet dancing and you say they're gorgeous, I think the compliment will make me faint, at least. Keep being your amazing self. ♥
Love from France.
I love Maria’s channel! Definitely check it out, if you haven’t already!
Hey Josephine, I just wanted to ask you a question about an issue I’ve been having with my first pair of pointe shoes. Basically, the heel keeps popping off when I roll through Demi pointe, my shoes fit really well, they’re Grishko Nova 2007’s and I’ve sewn wide mesh elastics over the ankles to try and fix the problem but it hasn’t really worked. This may be because the shanks are quite hard but I don’t know, if you could give any advice or anyone else that would be great. Thanks!!
Hi Josephine. I'm Anghely, and I'm from Ecuador. I've already been doing ballet for 8 years (here it's training parallel to school, and we graduated after 9 years). And I wanna ask-propose you something, have you ever proposed to go on an international tour? because here in our country we have a problem and that is that the few stores specialized in pointe shoes and accessories for dance, don't offer an adequate and complete service for selecting our points, and currently we can see that we have certain problems and certain shortcomings, especially for those of us who have had our first pointe shoes years ago, we have been discovering little things that are not right, and there is not a sufficient amount of variety of shoes here. Would there be a way in which you could do an international tour in Latin America? Really the dancers we would be very thankful if you propose to do that. Greetings. I love your videos and I love your work
I used to be a dancer (now an animator) and just love how entertaining these videos are! Great job!
First!! I love your videos, Josephine!
Yay thank you for reacting 🎉
Please bring back the customisation series! It’s so interesting
Only Josephine is allowed to say : 'your feet are so gorgeous.'
Five California ballet dancers seriously injured in crash as police look for suspect who fled on foot..... such talented and gorgeous lady's so sad
I follow her she is amazing.
I loved watching videos with pros showing how they customize their shoes!
Can you react to Scout Forsythe and her Sugarplum Fairy video. I think you would love it.
100% want to see more professional hacks!
I want to say that I absolutely love all of your videos. I've not danced (officially) in about 15 years and I can see that pointe shoe technology has evolved and people are just generally so much more knowledgeable about them these days. I'm learning how many misconceptions I had when I was younger, and no one to correct them, as our local fitters weren't that knowledgeable either. I remember being so frustrated but no one knew anything about pointe shoes other than "buy shoe, wear shoe, break shoe" and just repeat. You'd ask your teacher for advice and the best I got was, "just try shoes until you find one you like." Which... yes. But a little guidance wouldn't have hurt!
Anyway, I'm rambling. It's so cool to watch these videos and learn things I wish I'd known back in the day. And it makes me really, REALLY miss pointe.
Bring back that series! Those were my favorite!
I love hearing your reactions! Even though I know why dancers “damage” shoes (read: customize) I love hearing you talk because you are so knowledgeable!
Do professionals hack a bunch of point shoes all at one time or do they need to adapt then just before they wear them?
if i used so many shoes, i would prepare like 5 pairs at a time. and i was wondering the same thing as you!
They usually rotate their shoes, so they can last longer, so they often will have a few shoes ready at a time. Also, if you are doing a performance and you go through 2 or 3 pairs, they need to be ready to just be changed between acts. There's no time to prepare them.
Bring back the pointe shoe hack! It’s so interesting to see what people do to make it comfy. I am always self conscious if I would be too late. I never really cared about dance. But watching dancers now, it just looks like a lot of fun. Plus I want to try it.
Maria is so beautiful and i felt a little connection because i danced on Serenade Strong for many years! of course my feet aren't as pretty, neither is the rest of me OR my dancing. but at least i have one thing in common with one of the best ballerinas in the world 😀
4:09 not her casually pointing her feet to the ground 😭😭😭
Me watching this with not a singular rhythmic or flexible bone in my body 👁👄👁
Still waiting for a collab with Doctor Mike so he can react to ballet masters alongside you.
I wonder if we can do this with everyday heels!
1:18 me in training, doing this everytime i get new pointes every 6 months…..👀👀whoops
But it works for me.
I have capezio and they’re the best for me, they’re the ones I’ve had a while and it always has worked for me but If you’re like in your first pair of pointes shoes, totally take Josephine’s advice and don’t crack your shoes like that. You have to find over time what works best for you, you can even ask your pointe shoe seller/fitter what could work for you
Have a good day everyone!❤❤
Hello Josephine - I agree with all the others … just can’t get enough of videos about hacks .. I loved the Kathryn Morgan episode - so Id vote for more one to one discussions with pro ballerinas, I would love seeing you visiting a factory and explaining the processes, interviewing staff and so on. It would be great if you could get a ‘maker’ (is that what they are called?) on screen to discuss with you .. maybe even someone from each of the major manufacturers? Id also enjoy seeing you interviewing people from costume departments of the companies to talk about customising footwear for different productions. Oh yes and you commented once that you would love to visit a pointe shoe museum? How about you do some content describing important shoes? Maybe you could visit the shoes in their ‘homes’ or talk remotely to a curator or private collector?
My goodness this is a long comment … but Ive been a subscriber for the longest time … and you brighten my life!
I think it's pretty ironic that she is wearing a Nike shirt, who doesn't give a rat's ass about ballet, but she is doing a very athletic dance and training! Where is the money from Nike?!?!??!?
So funny, I remember taking a hammer to the tip of my daughter’s Suffolk pointe shoes. We didn’t know why the tips were rounded, and she was complaining she couldn’t stay up. I flattened them puppies out. I didn’t realize some are rounded in purpose 😂
You should do a fitting with Maria! I think if you found a more proper shoe for her it would save a lot of time for her
I love hearing you talk about how pretty the feet are. I’m not a dancer but I’ve been told I have dancer feet (the shape). Except my feet are freakishly wide at the ball. But i do have super high arches and my feet fall to a point naturally. Ive always been very self conscious about them but you keep calling feet that look like mine pretty. Thank you 🤓😃😍
Love you! Love her! Yes bring it back!
I would looove to see you fit Maria.
I LOVE watching each dancer’s hacks! It’s so intriguing how each one has found totally different materials and tricks to make their shoes their own.
YES, please do! You read my mind. I was just thinking the other day that I wished you would do some more videos with professionals and their pointe shoe hacks.
Since shoes are hand made, why aren't they customised for the professionals so they dont have to break everything? So they come with the shank already cut and the box squished etc. Sorry if I'm not articulating this well.
Because every dancer is slightly different and every shoe is slightly different. The makers can’t customize each shoe to the degree the dancers need. And I think dancers secretly love the sound of the box cracking.
"Handmade" means just that - they're not made by machine. It doesn't mean they're made for each specific dancer. You can have shoes custom made, but that would cost thousands of dollars a pair.
Looking back, I feel like such a jerk. My daughter was so dedicated throughout her teen years, and I used to get so frustrated when she needed new shoes seemingly every two weeks. As a disabled vet, her dance career was really expensive for me on my income as a single parent.
She’d get new shoes, and then it was like she turned into a sadistic MacGyver-immediately beating them up, ripping, tearing, and customizing these expensive shoes I had JUST bought her! Little did I know, she was making them last as long as possible, and two weeks was actually a huge amount of time for those shoes, now that I understand better.
Between buying her shoes, driving her all over the country, hotel stays, and hand-stitching outfits for her from age 6 to 18, the list of expenses seemed endless. But I don’t regret it. She loved dancing pointe as a soloist, so it was all worth it to me. That said, the constant need for new shoes was aggravating.
Other dads were hardly ever at shows, but it was a huge part of my life every week, plus the trips. Now, knowing that she was making do with worn-out shoes without ever complaining breaks my heart.
She's all grown up these days, and I miss those times so much. After seeing this video, I realize I need to call her and apologize.
P.S. I did, however, make a video for her one day, thinking back on her youth. She was a great kid and dealt with real problems, like boys trying to change her and get her to quit dancing so she’d spend more time with them. This video is one I made for her, using one of her favorite songs. ruclips.net/video/6-xdACxGXhY/видео.html
More pointe shoe hacks!!!!!!!🎉🎉
TBH, the first time I saw her doing that with the knife & cheese grater, it was a bit 😬. 🤣
Point show hacks are why I started watching your channel please do more!
Yes please! I would love to see more professional pointe shoe hacks! I loved that series.
Why hasn't anyone come up with a better, more durable pointe shoe? Why do dancers put up with shoes made out of paper that cost $100+, need to be heavily customized / destroyed before being useful and then only last 1-2 days? As a non-dancer ... why?!
Sadly, I don't think ballet has that big of a market, so that there will be investment in research for better and cheaper shoes.
HI!!!! I am a dancer in BALLET CONCIERTO OF PR, I was wondering if you can fit pointe shoes in my school
Hey Josephine, can you please explain,.... if you buying all these shoes why do you have to break them in? I'm so confused, if she's a famous ballerina, why isn't she getting actually customized/customade shoes? Seems like such an incredible waste, for a society that's all about "reduce reuse recycle"
Bring it back! Bring it back! Bring it back! 🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️
I ‘thought’* the uber professionals had truly custom shoes. Do ‘those’ dancers still do ‘this’ to their shoes? *Don’t know what the heck I’m talking about. Picked up the concept on RUclips. 🥴 Edit to question: so a ‘custom’ shoe is only ‘kinda custom?’
Hey I’m not a dancer but I was wondering if people going en point just end up break the point shoe why do the shoe creators(forgot what it’s called,mind blank) just make them ‘broken’/already soft. I mean I know some dancers prefer harder shoes but my question remains
Your admiration for ballet dancer's feet is reallllllly creeping me out... x.x
Yes bring back customization vids. PLEASE.
Please bring professionals customizing their shoes back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ballet is so not my world, but I do love seeing people being absolute nerds about what they're passionate about. The "omg her feet are so gorgeous 😭" sounds weird but I totally get the very specific joy about a particular aspect of your craft
I love watching pro ballerinas break their shoes. Idk what’s so satisfying about them
Probably hard (pardon the pun) to get customized pointe shoes in Russia, especially now.
I think I have tilted platforms? 6 1/2 Hannah x, Bloch is my current pointe shoe
Yes bring back the professional hacks. Was my true favourite thing to watch!
why aren't pointe shoes made for how the foot forms? why are they so firm if the sole needs more give? are there not materials that could make this part of ballet less expensive? i feel like the shoes (and training ofc) are a big financial issue for making ballet inclusive
(was my issue as a kid, back in the 90s; i hear it's still an issue today)
You should react to Ballet Reign's video Are Pointe Shoes Bad For You!
Hey josephine you should totally react to barbie and the twelve dancing princesses
josephine! you should do a pointe shoe customization horror story video. i got jet glue in my eyes once... yes. jet glue. in my eyes. it hurt so bad you don't even know😭
Maybe it’s time for a shakeup in the shoe making industry. This is really horrible. Why don’t they make the shoes better?
My question is, and you kinda of touched on it, do the shoemakers not get offended when the dancers customize their shoes? All of the shoemaker's hard work seems to not have mattered in the end. The dancer, from an outsider's pov, seems to be destroying the shoes!
I really like the fact that over time she's created her she to fit her!! Very beautiful feet an video ✌🏼💗🫵🏼🪨
I think even if I was a pro, I wouldn't cut the inner sole and pull out the one nail. My narrow feet need all the support they can get. I might score the bottoms a bit so I didn't slip.
Does Kathryn Morgan customize hers? I’d love to see that?
Yes, please bring that series back!!!
I would LOVE to see a reaction video with an eye tracker
Just to see how much Josephine looks at the dancers feet
Hey Josephine what is your favorite brand of pointe shoes?????
I am glad you saw her grater Josephine. Maria seems to be very wise with her shoes. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Why they "destroy" their shoes is not the question. The question is why can't proper shoes that work be made for them?
I’m new here but if you haven’t yet please make a video about your mom and the family business.
I wonder what point shoe makers think of the way ballerinas alter their shoes. I bet the first time seeing something like this would be a bit jarring.
