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.
0:062:05 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. 😁
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.
Thiades is awesome yeah I don’t really believe that people can read minds I just noticed that she was mouthing the words at the same time the other twin was speaking.
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
Oh I love this so much , as a twin when someone says two twins , I hear my mother saying so thats four then haha x x your fittings are a joy to watch and knowledge to help is endless x x
That tool is called a bradawl and it is used to make a guide hole for nails or screws into wood and other materials... It is weird but i know they are identical twins but i see a lot of differences so i am not at all surprised that they have different shoes x
I noticed that in some of your videos, e.g. this one, the light and dark settings are the way that bright surfaces look so white that you can't see details any more
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.
4:23 why is Marie (the one on the left) like mouthing words as Elizabeth (the one on the right) talks? kinda freaking me out. it's like she's mouthing the same words Eliabeth is speaking.
@@laner1172 wow, cool. You learn something new everyday XD I knew a pair of twins when I was really young, so I don't think I would have picked up on any of this stuff yet. That's so cool! Thanks for sharing😊
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.
I have had my shoes for about 5 weeks and at first my feet really hurt but after a couple weeks it got better, but I promise PIONTE is soooo fun at least for me!!! Good luck and have fun!
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!
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.
In my point class almost everyone has the same shoe lol I’m not sure about size but everyone besides 2 people ( me and another person ) don’t have European balance. I have Heritage and the other person has Grace but 4 peoples pointe shoes are to small and one needs a harder shank so it’s a mess XD
I'm really weirded out that the one girl is mouthing what the other is saying word for word the whole video. I know twins have a special connection but idk it's freaking me out 🙃
Was this stage on the street? So noisy!! And lighting terrible. Interesting backstory knowledge for those of us who took 1 pointe class at age 12 and did not stay with it. Seems like so much work to manage your pointe shoes. Give me tap shoes!!
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.

I thought this one was especially interesting! Thank you for making the effort to keep uploads consistent.

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!
a girl in my primary school did that when I was talking to her 🤔 I never knew why, I thought I wasn't speaking loud enough for her 🤔🤔
Oh my gosh you’re right! So cute. Good catch!
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.
Twins are magic! 👯♂️

She's actually using something that started out as a shoemakers tool: an awl.
I was going to name it too but you beat me to it.
Thank you so much!
Ok but the lighting here is terrible, i couldn't concentrate on the video...
Yes! It’s hurting my eyes. אבישג ג'ירד
Same
Same
too bright, I can't see the pointe shoe details
Woahhh at 4:37 the girl on the left was mouthing what her sister was saying. So weirddddd
Alessandra Morison my little sister actually does this to me. We are 17 months apart and grew up really close. I’ve never seen anyone else do it.
I’m a twin and apparently we do that too lol, it freaks out our friends, it’s hilarious

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"
It happens ALL THE TIME with twins because you spend so much time together. It's also hundred times more noticable in conjoined twins.
Thiades is awesome yeah I don’t really believe that people can read minds I just noticed that she was mouthing the words at the same time the other twin was speaking.
Omg, that’s weird! Why is she doing that?

I live how they are saying “yep” at the same time
Oh I love this so much , as a twin when someone says two twins , I hear my mother saying so thats four then haha x x your fittings are a joy to watch and knowledge to help is endless x x
Me too!
I get my first pointe shoes on Friday!! These videos have been really helpful
Yee Oof congrats
Grace G thansk!! I just got them and I love them 💖
Congratulations!
Good luck!!! I got mine a few months ago!
Congratulations
And also how old are you ?
Just wondering what age most dancer start point 🙃
i dance with the milwaukee ballet! i’ve danced with them they’re really nice and cool! ilysm❤️❤️❤️
These videos help me sooo much with breaking in my shoes and preparing them!!! Thank you So much Josephine!! I love you soo much!! 🥰
Can you do another first pair of points shoes for big feet
Jeez that exposure
Who knew that soooooo much goes into fitting & preparing?!?
The tool she is using is called an awl in the UK. It’s used in Corsetry making to create holes for the eyelets.
An awl is used in lots of different mediums, not just corsetry.
That’s so interesting that they both do such different things to their shoes
thank you so much for this, this will be helpful for some of my shows☺️
i love these videos!! im starting pointe this year!!
Same getting my semi pointes on Saturday 😍
That’s awesome me too
That tool is called a bradawl and it is used to make a guide hole for nails or screws into wood and other materials... It is weird but i know they are identical twins but i see a lot of differences so i am not at all surprised that they have different shoes x
I actually met those twins I’m in Milwaukee ballet I hope u get to fit my first pair of point shoes ✌🏼😫❤️
I noticed that in some of your videos, e.g. this one, the light and dark settings are the way that bright surfaces look so white that you can't see details any more
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.
Monika Giemela outer foot bunion is considered a Taylor’s bunion.
4:23
why is Marie (the one on the left) like mouthing words as Elizabeth (the one on the right) talks?
kinda freaking me out. it's like she's mouthing the same words Eliabeth is speaking.
@@laner1172 bro fr?!
I didn't know that, that's kinda cool actually XD
@@laner1172 wow, cool. You learn something new everyday XD
I knew a pair of twins when I was really young, so I don't think I would have picked up on any of this stuff yet.
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing😊
The tool you were using to make holes for the darning is called an ale. This is coming from a seamstress/ historical costume maker.
Awl* :)
I’m getting my first pointe shoes really soon and I’m nervous! Does it hurt?
It will hurt a bit and obviously it will take getting used to but overall it isn't too painful.
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.
I have had my shoes for about 5 weeks and at first my feet really hurt but after a couple weeks it got better, but I promise PIONTE is soooo fun at least for me!!! Good luck and have fun!
It will hurt for a while,but you don’t have to worry cuz it will go away after a while
if it hurts really bad there’s something wrong
something is off with the lighting, its very over exposed. it was a little hard to see ngl
WILL YOU DO A VIDEO ON TOE PADS?

Thank!
What does darning do or achieve? I always see dancers darn their shoes but I never heard why
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.
It is used to have a wider platform not just to feel the floor.
were you a ballerina? very interesting channel👍
Very interesting.
Omg when one is talking the other is mouthing along silently! That’s so weird and interesting.
Josephine❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😄
Wish I could see what’s happening with the darning properly 😪
In my point class almost everyone has the same shoe lol I’m not sure about size but everyone besides 2 people ( me and another person ) don’t have European balance. I have Heritage and the other person has Grace but 4 peoples pointe shoes are to small and one needs a harder shank so it’s a mess XD
the lighting omg i just had to click off bc i couldn’t see
The tool is called a stitching "awl". Pronounced same as "all".
I wish we had seen their feet!!
What happened to your video quality?!
I'm really weirded out that the one girl is mouthing what the other is saying word for word the whole video. I know twins have a special connection but idk it's freaking me out 🙃

Oh no the lighting ... 😬
