    Hi everyone! Thanks so much for your feedback on this video. We know the visual and audio are SUPER off, but we're trying to stay consistent with our uploads while on pointe shoe fitting tour. Plus, these twins really had some insightful tips & tricks, we didn't want to completely lose this content! We will most likely review these hacks again in another, better quality video. Happy dancing!

      Thx for uploading anyway and also for considering for redoing this video. I could not really make out how the right twin (from the camera perspective) did the sowing.

    I love how the other sister mouths along with what her sister is saying!! I have identical twins and they do that sometimes! It’s so funny!

    I love how only one of the twins is speaking at a time but both of their mouths are moving to the words being spoken.

    0:06 2:05 one twin is mouthing word for word what the other says. it's like they're on the same wave length + could have talked in unison the entire interview. even the "ums" + "ands" are together.
    4:20 is especially crazy. even their body language, cadence and emphasis on words is alike. they keep checking in eye contact w each other as it goes on as well,

    I think with these videos of the pros showing their break in process it would be really helpful to see what the shoes look like on them brand new and then after they’ve done their break in process. 😁

    • @kawannahardy2924
      @kawannahardy2924 5 лет назад +8

      Twins do often do that. Then, they'll finish each other's sentences bcuz they're at the same point of the same thought process. At least that's how it seems to my for my twins. You can even tell that the 1 on the left used to speak for her sister when they were younger.

    4:37 - 4:47 is the twin on the left reading the other twins mind. Because the twin on the right is speaking and the twin on the left is mouthing the same words.

    • @Charoula1608
      @Charoula1608 5 лет назад +1

      Not really... A) reading minds is a myth and B) a lot of people do it. Google "mouthing the words that someone else is saying"

    • @AudreeAdam
      @AudreeAdam 5 лет назад +3

      It happens ALL THE TIME with twins because you spend so much time together. It's also hundred times more noticable in conjoined twins.

    • @nataliecook6977
      @nataliecook6977 5 лет назад +4

    • @Jessica-ne5pr
      @Jessica-ne5pr 5 лет назад

      If you watch she’s mouthing the words with a small delay. It’s pretty common that people will mouth other people’s words, especially with twins. It’s not really reading minds, they’re just listening and repeating. You can also guess from context and language patterns what the other person is going to say

    Hi Josephine, would have some tips for finding the right fit for feet with a bunion on the outer side of the foot? I find it hard to find pointe shoes which would not sickle around the toe area, because of my bunion.

      It hurts for everyone.
      It's a desired taste. But it's something you have to work really hard for, and be very dedicated. It'll get a little more comfortable with time. But some days are rough.

    WILL YOU DO A VIDEO ON TOE PADS?
    I’ve tried every toe pad known to man- including PerfectFit. I had such high hopes for Perfect fit because I thought- “Oooh! It molds to my toes and will feel like a 360 degree cushion!” I was so disappointed to find that the Perfectfit material felt hard and scratchy instead of spongy.
    I do love my pads that are at least 1/4 inches thick consisting of spongy, rubbery synthetic material. They protect me from pokes and from pressure.They keep my toes and bunions extra cushy (but still hurtsl after a while.
    I wonder if any toe pads really keep the feet from hurting, or it they all just HURT no matter what?
    Ouch Piuches feel like I’m wearing absolutely zero to cushion my feet and the tips of my toes.
    What I’m really looking for is a pillowy, squishy soft surrounding for my ties and wings.
    Why aren’t these being manufactured?
    I’m interested in what others think. What do you see in your stores?
    Thank!

    What does darning do or achieve? I always see dancers darn their shoes but I never heard why

    • @Estertje93
      @Estertje93 5 лет назад +3

      It helps the dancer feel the edge of the platform better. And feeling where your foot is is good for technique and stability. For some people, their feet are so flexible, they really need to know if they are going over too much. Some might darn the whole platform for more grip on the floor.

    • @lexie_ballerina4155
      @lexie_ballerina4155 3 года назад

      It is used to have a wider platform not just to feel the floor.

    You said two twins. Two twins is 4 people. You have one set of twins. I have no idea about ballet but watched some documentaries and I have utmost respect for these dancer.s They train harder than sports people. I never new how important the shoes were until I watched a few of your vidoes.
