![everything u need to know [1ST PAIR POINTE SHOES]](/img/1.gif)
I love how she didn't get down from the releve until you told her she could. Ballet class conditioning xD
lemondrizzlecake hahaha I know 😂 poor thing. Sometimes I forget.
Yes for me it’s habit now because my teachers yell at us if we get down on the wrong time and then we have to do the whole combo again and then if some of the younger girls keep messing up they have to do soldiers
@@emmslynn6475 dang, my teachers just say that if we fall or need to come down, come back up after a second
Kind of sad the dancers are conditioned to follow commands. My stomach tightening when she responded to the dancer by saying, "good girl" like she was a dog.
@@parkcitypj1 she ment like good job
god i WISH someone this well informed helped me pick out pointe shoes for the first time. a pointe shoe fitting is s literal DREAM. (i knew literally nothing of pointe shoes when i got my first like,,, three pairs? and still close to nothing for the next two)
It's really important for girls Going On Pointe for the first time to have the best shoes possible. It's a big deal for these girls to get their first pair of pointe shoes and I'm glad you were able to help them out. Doing point is not easy, it requires years of practice and preparation. You guys do an amazing job helping these dancers
So don't buy the $2 ones from Amazon! People say that they're fine for beginners, but beginners need good shoes to.
@@virginiapearson6518 Yep. The best way to get your pointe shoes are to get then fitted at a pointe shoe shop. Beginners need the best shoes possible to make sure they are getting over the box and have a nice arch. Usually, if you don't get fitted, the shoes don't fit well and are bad quality.
Virginia Pearson who says $2 pointe shoes are fine for anyone
i got on pointe after 5 months of training because i have a very good trained studio and im a quick learner ! ❤️
@@victoriasharif3051 litterally I am the same!! Only 5 months!! It’s awesome. I get fitted on Tuesday
Y’all I just got my first pair today! Props to Josephine for hyping me up for 3 years! 🥳🥳🥳
Good job! 🎉
I have extremely hyperextended knees, it's horrible to get correctly on pointe. Everyone think it's beautiful but they don't know how hard it is for the dancer.
Patricia Couto I’m not on pointe yet, but I struggle with arabesques and stuff since it’s painful to lock my knees in 😬
@@scarlettboley4757 Yesssssssss, my knees are kind of loose so it's very hard to do arabesques with my legs fully stretched, it's really painful.
Patricia Couto ugh, the struggles :((((
I'm not hyperextended, but I feel u girl
I have super hyperextended knees too! I have pretty strong feet so getting on the box isn't a problem, but trying to figure out the right way to straighten my legs gives me knee pain
I just got my pointe shoes today! Every time the fitters told me to do something, I already knew because I've been watching all these videos 😂😂😂 for toe pads I got the Ouch Pouches too. Love your videos Josephine!!!
Got the same toepads as you too!
Me to!
(The toe pads and shoes😂)
I’m so excited! I’m getting mine tomorrow. I’ve been dancing at my studio for almost 7 years now. I’ve been dreaming of getting these shoes sense I knew what they even were when I was about 3. Tomorrow is gonna be the start of a new journey for me!
It is a very exciting thing. I got mine about a month age i have been dancing for 9 years (i am 11) i have been waiting for them since i was 2
I am 11 and wanted mine sinse i was 5 and now i get mine in december Im litterly so excited. Im in Pre pointe class so I can learn How to use them and other stuff. Hope you like them
I got mine at age 9. I think I was a little young but nvm. Btw I'm almost 12
Good going!!!
Y'all are so young. I'm 13 and I still haven't gotten my pointe shoes yet thanks to quarantine and I was also in pre-primary for 2 years
I absolutely love watching your videos! I am NOT a ballerina, nor have anything to do with it, but...I am a cosmetologist that works with feet in addition to hair. I know it doesn’t seem too relevant, but...I must say, your knowledge and ability to talk through your decisions have made me more attentive to individual feet and help me identify a lot of walking habits and patterns with clients!
I know how important it is to have the best pointe shoes possible. When I had my first pair the lady just slapped the shoes on and said '' Ah, that'll do!'' After the first hour the broke and I twisted my ancle! That girl is so glad to be having you guys fit her for her first pair, I wish I could of had someone as good as you 😃
When I was like 11 or 12 (I'm almost 30 now) the lady who was our teacher I don't think she knew what she was doing because she just gave us random pairs of shoes that fit-ish. Mine were Capezio and I was having so much pain and she literally told me to put more stuffing inside......at that point (pun intended) I was floating inside my shoes.
I remember watching this a couple years ago and seeing all the comments saying "just got my first pair!" Or "about to get my first pointe shoes!!" And thinking to myself, wow, I can't wait until it's my turn. And now I get to be one of the commenters I looked up to because I'm getting my first pair on Monday! Still feels so surreal 🥰
Nice!! My 1st pointe shoes were soft grishkos, but they were a little too tapered. I have really hyper extended knees and remember how difficult it was too get onto the box 😅
She should do a fitting for flat feet i have flat feet and its hard but if you work really hard you get pretty and strong feet.
I’ve been practicing ballet since I was 4 or 3 years old I’m 11 now and I’m getting my pointe shoes in two more days, and I’m really exited 😃
I’m starting ballet now at 12 and I hope to be en pointe before Junior or Senior year of highschool! For right now my main goal is to actually like ballet since I have a tendency to obsess over things until I actually try them lmao
Congnrats on starting pointe! I started at 11 too!
@@zoekroutz435 :0 yassss
@@Pupkittenxoxo ;O me to!! I hope to start pointe by the time im in Junior year! Since im in 6th. :D
@@Pupkittenxoxo how is ballet going?
I am going on pointe soon and going to get my fitting! You have really made me understand more and you have given me tips so Thank you 🙏
I would like to know which brands of shoes you were putting on her...
The first pair was russians probably rubens and the second and third pair looked like grishko or bloch
@@carafischer1229 Thanks! I'm always curious about the shoe brands.
The first ones were Russian rubens. You can tell because she said they were a hard shoe. The second were blochs. I wear blochs because they aren’t too hard but not as soft as grishkos. That last pair were grishkos. At my studio your first shoes are grishkos because they are extremely soft.
@@julianoel9791 damn u know Ur pointe shoes
Jemimah Lulu lmao I’m a dancer I’ve been in all of these shoes.
I've been dancing since I was about 4 (I'm almost 11 now) and I was supposed to get my pointe shoes in March, but thanks to COVID, I'm still waiting.
ahhh in so jealous, I wish I kept with ballet... I started when I was five but stopped around 7? I’m 14 now and I wanna start again hah
@@summerhunny same!
I’m getting my first pointe shoes on Tuesday! I’m so happy.
where did she get that skirt.its beautiful
hanzo hattori ikr
I really want to know it’s so pretty
I think I would struggle if I ever had pointe shoes (saying that I'm 18 and only just started ballet), only because I have hyperextended knees that still lock out sometimes and I have really weird large spaces in between my 1st, 2nd and 3rd toe on my left foot. I also have Greek feet!!!!
I love these videos they are so helpful and It took a lot of stress off of me because I knew what to expect at the fitting!
I’m so excited, I’m getting my pointe shoes in three days!
I’m getting fitted for my first pair today! IM SO EXCITED!!!👍🏼😀😃😄😁😆☺️😊🤡
how’d it go?
ughhhhh I'm so exited for my first point shoes fitting even tho it'll probably take a few months 😓 if only I knew I wanted to do ballet earlier I would probably already be on point for like 2-3 years now 😭😭
This is the second one of these videos I've watched. I thought the first one was brilliant. I'm worried now though, because if the lovely girl in this video was one of my students I wouldn't be putting her on pointe yet. -She doesn't seem to have the strength. And if I were a pointe shoe fitter, I'd be hesitant to sell her a pair of pointe shoes for at least another 6 months...
I'm getting fitted on March 16, IM SO EXCITED!!!
it’s been 10 trillion years since i took ballet so the fact i understood basically all of the vocab bc of marching band is great
I wish i was able to get fitted by you but i live in New Zealand :( i got fitted for my first shoe a year ago at the dancers wardrobe. Ive watched so many point shoe fitting videos and just videos about going en pointe so I expected the lady to ask questions and actually look at my feet but she didn’t. All she did was measure how long my foot is. She gave me 5 shoes and i kept saying i needed a wider shoe and that it doesn’t feel right and how i don’t feel like im going over completely. She said that that was the widest shoe they have. So now im wearing shoes that don’t feel right. Over time ive gotten used to them and honestly think that what i felt on the day was just first-time-on-pointe pain haha but i really think if i went to a different place to get fitted then I would’ve gotten a better shoe for me :( i wear block European balance and im going for another fitting for my second shoe soon. Do you have any suggestions on figuring out what feels and looks good on your own? Because the fitter was not a lot of help
I’m from New Zealand too! This is my second year on pointe
Urgh it sucks that we don't have the best range and access to dance shoes in nz 😢
Ginger Vargas try finding a better fitter,even if it means taking a few hours to get there.having the wrong type of shoe is dangerous,and it needs to fit perfectly
My daughter is getting pointe shoes and she is so excited😊
I wish you would mention in your videos which shoes they are! :)
My favorite pointe shoe shop !
Im getting fitted today for my first pair at the shop in orange county
THAT SKIRT IS SO PRETTY
ROSEVILLE?!! I'm from Roseville originally
idk why I’m watching this even tho I’m not in ballet class....yet
I just ordered some Ballet point shoes and they’re coming 10th November and I’m watching this video for some a help and some information about when your first point shoes you need the right size
I just got my point test and I exited!
Im
I’m just watching this but i have my first fitting friday and I’m sooooo excited
My first pair was Capezio Developpes.
I’m getting fitted by you on October 11 so excited
im so excited for today bc im getting my first pair today and am binging your vids to prepare :)
Omg that helps my daughter so much 😁 thanks 🙏
I’m getting my first pair tomorrow 😅
I'm getting fitted tomorrow;)
Those are really nice point shoes
Hi Josefine, you could say what is the brand and model of pointe shoes that you are using on her.
I got my first shoes 1 week ago I got a hard shoe because I have super strong and flexible feet. I got the Bloch heratige extra hard
Yay!!! Love this video
I was there!!!
I go to NCDC for ballet classes too
I would die to be able to find a pointe shoe fitter like you!! The first pair I got was from a specific brand (so they only sold different models of their own shoes, not other brands'), and the vamp (or wing?) was WAY too short and my feet bent from the toes instead of the top of the foot. I have a much better fitting one now but I still think it could fit me better... If only my country had decent pointe shoe sellers and fitters.
LOVED this !!! thank you
I got my first pair about 3 months ago. I’m only able to go over my box when my feet are really close (like in fifth). I’m flat footed, but it’s not extreme, and my arch has gotten progressively better since I started ballet. Both my feet are completely different (one is longer than the other, and only one foot have the up turned toe, my toes are slightly more angled out on my right foot). My pointe shoes also hurt my little toe. Does anybody have any tips or pointe shoe recommendations to help me? I currently wear Grisko 2007 super softs and have Egyptian feet.
I cant wait until I get my first pair!!!! This really helped me be a little more prepared for this when the time comes. Still waiting after nine years though 😅
You’re not alone Haha im waiting on mine. This year is supposed to be my turn to get mine but idk which part of the year
@@gwenkhong7995 have you gotten them yet? I’m getting mine next year, because I got fitted for Demi pointe shoes I’ll get them quicker.
I’m getting pointe shoes
It is true I’m getting point shoes
I've always loved Grishkos and hated Russian pointes but the last pair I bought were Russian point and I love them
I’m getting my first pair of pointe shoes, but I’m getting them from Amazon first, and then I’m gonna really spend money on my second pair.
How did it go?
I love your video so much❤❤❤
This was three years ago, I would love to see you fit her again after all this time
If she is still dancing
I literally go to that studio 😂
I have the same skirt as her😂💗
wheres you get it?
@@summerhunny Amazon actually
i’ve only danced for 1,5 years but my teacher cleared me anyways, but i am very nervous that i wont be good enough
I live about 30 minutes from Roseville!
I just got fitted today!
I wish I could go to the pionte shop because I'm gonna become a ballerina and want ballet shoes
Such a great channel! love your videos....so informative and your personality is lovely. Thanks for these!
Hi Josephine!! I'm 14 and this is my first pair of pointe shoes !! In sri lanka we don't hv any options...like it's d same shoe for everyone!! I have a performance in two days and I think my shoe is already dead !!!!!!! How can I know if my shoe is dead or not ?
Pls male a video on What to do if you want to measure your feet for point But you don't have any rulers at home or anything
Anyone have answer for me? I’ve never done ballet I do acro, jazz, tap, and hip hop hate hip hop I wanted to do ballet not hip hop but not enough people wanted too do it and I’m upset but because I can’t I practice at home when I was fitted for my ballet flat before I was told there was no ballet I was told my the fitter I have a great turnout and pointe and I can walk on my toes do u think I could get pointe shoes away? And do you need a letter or approval from a teacher first?
@Anneke Lewis hi! Thanks! I have a good pointe already but I’m putting all my focus into my feet and when I’ve been fitted for ballet flat I was told I have a great turnout I got these old pointe shoes for Halloween just too wear on flat and I tried a few times going up and I was able too although they don’t fit me right I contacted a dance store and they do fitting and said they can fit me without a letter and will tell me if im not ready does that sound ok?
@Anneke Lewis great too know! I called a dance store the girl recommended switching studios because I’m missing a whole year of training maybe more I agree although my mom won’t let me switch because we have a credit I don’t want too make bad habits although if I miss 2-4 years not doing ballet because my studio doesn’t have enough people by then I could be on pointe/demi pointe I’ve been told I have good turnout and legs by my fitter for my Jazz shoes and ballet flats when I thought I was doing ballet my dream is pointe the dance store I called said they would fit me and if they don’t think I’m ready then won’t let me get them does that sound ok? And and congratulations on Demi pointe! (Lol I am too haha)
Edit: just relized ur not a new person commenting so some info I tell u might be the same sry!
I’m super nervous I’m getting fit today w my brother!! Idk what I’m going to get Bloch or capzio
I just got mine today
My 2nd toe is longer than my first and I was wondering if that was a problem?
Excellent...thank you
Me: "watches video"
Me: ughhh I don't live in California
Also me: mommm can I go get pointe shoes ?...
Mom: where is the pointe shoe place you are talking about
Me:in California
Mom: whhaattt no way
Me: pls pls pls i I'll pay u
Mom: how much money
Me:$200 if I give it to u u can buy that purse u have been wanting for 3 yrs
Mom:ummm
Me: u get your purse .I get my pointe shoes
Mom: fine pack your bags
Me: yayyyyy!!!
haylee hunter pointe shoes are not in California... Pointe shoes are located in dance department places anywhere... like capezio, Nstyle, discount dance and more
Are you even a dancer?
If you aren't a dancer who is strong and flexible enough, you shouldn't get pointe shoes.
There are so many things wrong with this I can’t 😂
1. There are many pointe shoe places all over the world, not just California.
2. If you aren't a dancer that has been approved by your dance instructor or studio to get pointe shoes, you shouldn't. It's very dangerous.
3. Pointe shoes are usually around 80-100 dollars, so your mom is only getting around $100.
Where is ur shop I would like to vistit
Has anyone heard of/tried Siberian Swan pointe shoes? I just came across them online and I'm intrigued
How do ballerinas learn to go on pointe before they’ve gotten their first pair of pointe shoes?
It's usually a subject that's quite popular in lessons and also it's just like going up on relates u sort of roll yours toes up
It all a process. It could take years.
Your body needs to be strong and flexible. You need to be old enough but not too old as well.
One of my teacher was a ballerina from l'Opera de Paris. She had a class specifically for pointes. She made us do relevés for an hour. And she was the only one whom would decide if a girl was ready.
There is a scene in Titanic, where Rose goes on pointes, without pointes. You're gonna need the shoes. But you get an idea of what is like.
That skirt i so pretty! Anyone know where you can get it?
my first pair were russian pointe and not gunna lie it wasn’t the bet choice my by me or the lady fitting me but hey now i have like real strong feet
I have a question but I'm not sure to ask it so here seems to be the best one. I want to take ballet just for fun but I have the worst turnout ever because of medical reasons and my feet naturally turn in. Do I still have a chance at getting good at ballet?
Can u wash pont shooows
do fungal toenails make pointe work hard?
Charlotte it depends on what toe, and how long the toenail is
I had toenail fungus and it made pointe extremely painful. All my weight tends to go to my big toe anyways, as it's the longest, but the fungus made pointe excruciatingly painful, my big toes hurt so much.
But the good news is, there's a medication you can take for it. I took an anti-fungal medication for a few months, and it eventually cleared up.
What if you want to Measure your feet at home and you don't have any tools and you don't have a rulers
Does anyone know if new, still in the packaging pointe shoes, Gaynor in particular weaken over time? The dance wear store I used to work in has closed and we still have a lot of Gaynor pointe shoes that are probably in the 5-10 yrs old range, still in the plastic and in the bags that we want to try to sell if they are still usable, even if it's just for class
Hi josiphein (I spelt ur name wrong sry) i just got accepted for my first pair I’m so exited is there any shop u think i should go to cus I’m going to italy thanks
Can you do a point shoe fitting for Greek feet? I don’t want to ruin my feet for when I go up on point later.
Oh my gosh.. I have never heard of another dancer who's big toe also slopes up.. I've never found a pair of point shoes that doesn't cause major pain on the top of my toe/toenail.
I even lost a nail because of it.
Hopefully they can help me too over a virtual fitting
Have you ever done a video on crossdressing in ballet for little boys?(her age)
Next year will be my seventh year of dance and I’ve been doing ballet for seven years do you think that next year would be a good time to start pointe?
What’s the best point shoe for low arch, very compressible foot, long 2nd toe, and pretty flexible bend?
question: based on the video i seem to have very similar legs feet and knees so i was wondering if there was anything i could do to prepare myself from point since everyone says its super hard when your like this?
was dancing since I was 4 years old and loved it but I had to stop Ballet at 9 years old because of the on going drought where I lived and money was tight so we couldn't afford lessons. I'm 13 now, and now that the drought has subsided, would it be ok to get back into dance???
Sure!!! You're still young and already done ballet you could even still have a chance to try to do it professionally. Go for it!!!
@@cioccolatalover9295 Thanks I'll try
Hi! I don’t have pointe shoes yet, but how would one learn to sew their ribbons, or break in the shoe?
I still dont know Why they didnt Call the shop “On pointe” 🤔
Josephine: She has a tapered foot, ski toenail, short toes, high profile etc
My first fitter: She is size 5
Hi!
Hello! I am just starting my pre pointe journey and am not ready for pointe shoes yet. When I gain my knowledge, Strength and flexibility, I would like to purchase a pair of pointe shoes. I live in a small town. Can I get fitted for pointe shoes online, or do I need to find a place that physically fits for pointe shoes? Thank you!
Is she really ready for pointe?
I have a flat foot so it’s really hard to get on point
Umm I’m going to pointe auditions in a few months so uhh what happens-
I want to know how long she has been doing ballet and how old she is.
