The forced stretching is so scary. I've seen the videos of how they stretch little girls for rhythmic gymnastics and have trauma from just watching it. 💀
I think it might actually be illegal in some countries. It's assault on a minor, isn't it? If it isn't, it should be. Those joints could be permanently damaged.
@@unredeemabledumbass3953Not a ballet, but I'd love to see Josephine's reaction to this: ruclips.net/video/X7FXAQy-MsY/видео.htmlsi=ARWqemgJucKLvpQI&t=92
I do ballet it isn’t child abuse. I have the kindest ballet teacher and I have cried before. Everyone has in my studio. I have thirty people. Ps I am ten
The stretching one with the little girl that studio is a menace it's devasting how tortured those little girls are I've not seen a video without them crying.
Those girls weren't being tortured, u have to understand they CHOSE to do this sport to become a ballerina, and if they do wanna be one they have to go through this, I,do these stretching exercises but since I was born flexible I didnt really have difficulty in doing this...
@@Heyiminsta You are wrong. Stretching like that is dangerous. There's way way safer (and less painful!!) ways of increasing flexibility. Forced stretching like that is child abuse.
@@Heyiminsta how dumb are you???????????? this is torturing and they will grow up and be sick because of it. this isnt ballet. and there parents force them to do it most of the time. they dont have a choice.
@@robopecha There's probably a lot of pushing children too hard (physically and mentally) in a lot of fields. Ballet, gymnastics, probably also classical music... any field where the general expectation is to start young and focus on it from a young age. I'd argue it doesn't make the whole art/sport bad, but that there should be a focus on treating children (and often adults too) better.
As a swimmer of 14 years, I feel like having a pointe shoe slipping off during a performance is the same energy as diving into the pool and your goggles falling off during a race. 😅
You guys. Thats is not cringe. That is actual child abuse. The guy has his foot on the little girls leg and pressing down and she is crying. Please don't show this!!!
Agreed, I almost skipped it, but then it ended. Whoever recorded and posted that is insane cause they way it’s recorded is definitely not a “expose this person” film
I love all Josephine’s videos, and really look forward to her reaction vids, but please can you do some beautiful tik tok reactions as well in the mix. I want to see her blissed out by ballet too (and I can’t watch the cringe ones myself either. Don’t think it’s healthy to encourage people to carry on making these, especially the one of the child.)
Can we stick to videos that don't encourage people to hurt themselves or others for views? Like, yeah, it's kind of funny and relateable to see some bad luck happen or utter dorkiness (the barre just nopeing off the wall or the 10 pairs of shoes girl), but the girl being forcibly stretched and crying and the destroyed shoe at the end were terrifying.
To answer Josephine’s question: Shopee is the SE Asian version of Amazon since we don’t have Amazon (though we can order…with shipping double the price of the item most of the time😂).
1:05 during this tiktok it reminded me when I was doing a bar routine during gymnastics and my fingers slipped from the fingerholes on my grips, so scary
I want to watch the video of Josephine's producer(s) reacting to Josephine's reaction to these videos. I can just picture the "ooh... ooh! The one with the guy on the desk is next. She's not even going to be able to talk!
I've always wanted a pair of pointe shoes. I've loved ballet since I was little, always wanted to dance and to my surprise apparently have pretty feet. It's all the coordination and weak joints that get in the way.... lol. Still, I love seeing this kind of content and dancers.
Same I to have weak coordination but I also have flat feet but I would say my arches are pretty good when I do arch my feet, I always wanted to do ballet but I just don't have the money for it
I hope that first girl actually got NICE comments about how dangerous it is what she is doing. As Jo said, her feet are gorgeous so she has great potential.
The shoe coming off her foot but goung on like nothing happening is like marching band kids stepping over someone who fell on the field. I also had one of my bandmates loose her shoe during our final evaluation and was able to slip right back into it as she passed it again
Don't worry Josephine, you're not alone. I cringed so hard throughout this video that I gave myself a headache! Haha. I vote for you to watch beautiful happy ballet videos next please 🙏
OMG… I did not learn to dance en pointe. However, I did do ballet as a child for 10yrs. I cringed and laughed nervously throughout. Josephine, you are a brave lady watching those TikTok’s. I hope some of those people in those videos listen to you, adult ballet is a thing, and proper point shoe fitting is so important.
I understood the reference at 1:25! Artistic and rhythmic gymnasts will also keep going no matter what (unless they literally cannot continue). Also many kinds of athletes in sports, which are not considered artistic, do this. Many people consider showing pain to be a sign of weakness. Military and first responders regularly persevere under extreme and life-threatening conditions. My whole-hearted respect to everybody who can maintain this kind of iron self-discipline in the most testing circumstances! Thanks for the video! 🙏
The second video with her shoe slipping off is like when I was a competitive swimmer and my goggles fell off when I dove into the pool for a race! So brutal, but you just have to do it!
To the seeing other athletes remaining calm, marching band members frequently march out of their shoes and leave them on the field during a snow. We may also march over (without stepping on the instrument) a downed band member. I'll try to find a video of Josephine
Thank you! I am actually going on point very soon for the first time!! I can’t wait to go up! Can’t imagine how that would hurt! Just got my letter today!!
0:58 I’m an Irish dancer and this basically happened to me at my first feis(competition) and it’s absolutely horrible but you have to keep a straight face and keep smiling😭
Me and my friend are the last ones and we got bored and decided to make funny shoes so that’s why they look like that. I love watching your videos and I am so happy that I am in one of your videos !!!!!!!🎉😊
5:46 Why would you include a clip of child abuse in a cringe video? That's really gross. (Unless you somehow know for a fact she's an adult and fully consented to that kind of training? But I highly doubt that.)
I'm sad to say the first rule of fation in our house is "No cups as shoes!" Watch those 1 year olds, they will find ways to make innocent toys (like stacking cups) into instrument of death.☠️
ok editor can we please not put the forced stretching in these videos, or anything with GENUINELY crying children? its honestly traumatizing to see and i click on these videos to just laugh at people wearing cups. it changes the mood of the whole video, and I'd usually expect to see a TW of some kind before seeing that kind of content
I would use Amazon pointe shoes as Demi-pointe shoes because there are zero ballet supply stores in my area (the closest is actually an hour and a half drive to SF to the pointe shop) NEVER used them for center work but the were decent for barre and strength training even though they hurt like hell cause they are literally not it.
That one was pretty funny! It didn't even look like it hurt and the curtain rod was just a tension rod so they can just pop it right back up... But the sitting there and contemplating life...
0:35 I can do that to lol also on 3:40 I highly disagree but maybe it's because I did church dance but when I got my first pointe shoes and when I want on pointe i went all the way I also figured out how to do 10 hops I'm not sure how lol
That person doing 'what people think self-taught ballet dancers look like vs what we actually look like' really thought that they were doing something there.... yikes.

That clip legit made me cry
It's so bad. They can so easily permanently damage their musculoskeletal system. Trainers that have their students do this are borderline criminal.
@@austinluther5825 "Borderline" is generous
I think it might actually be illegal in some countries. It's assault on a minor, isn't it? If it isn't, it should be. Those joints could be permanently damaged.
It also doesn't really help, Josephine has said it's really bad for you and has no real benefit
Why does ballet cringe constantly flirt the line with irl body horror? Its no wonder Josephine can't help but cringe
bc ballet is a bit of body horror irl
@@katbello8527 Now I kinda want to see ballet + bone breaking. Imagine the lines someone could make if those pesky joints weren't stopping you.

The one with an adult stepping on the little girl making her stretch too much while she was crying wasn’t cringey it made me mad
Josephine smiling to cancel out the cringe is just a ✨mood✨...Giving "Just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave."

Yeah those are posted for a certain male demographic… they should be reported not shown
With the laughing emoji too! Some people are vile

Can Josephine get a bunch of like kitten and happy point shoe videos for one episode?
Or….. kittens IN pointe shoes? Like tucked into them, not wearing them. There must be videos of that somewhere.
As a swimmer of 14 years, I feel like having a pointe shoe slipping off during a performance is the same energy as diving into the pool and your goggles falling off during a race. 😅
#LydiaJacoby
I'm a swimmer and my goggles ACTUALLY feel during a race!😭 I still swam but i got 5th place bc of those damn goggles falling
Fr 😭😭 and then the goggle will start hurting my eyes bc they’re falling off
truee
Omg I will never get over the trauma of swimming a 500 and my cap just slowly coming off each turn.
While at YAGP, my daughter’s shoe slipped off her heel like the second clip. She finished, and they let her go again. Very kind!
That poor little girl broke my heart. That’s actual child abuse.

@@randomsoprano85 exactly!!
This is called over-stretching, also my whole childhood
@@randomsoprano85 more like the adult should be reported cause if that were me he getting a chair to the face
Please give Josephine a lovely gentle pointe shoe making/geeking out/history video soon, for her sanity!
The trying cup shoes as a ballet dancer video was me! thank you for reacting to it, sorry about the cup shoes 😂
You have amazing feet though ❤ but don't do this to us 😂
The one vid sent me into a blind rage....omg. I can't say what I'm really thinking but I'll bet you can figure it out.
Only one??
@@mizzelle71 The little girl one.
@@amandav42which time stamo
Im not even a ballerina but I LOVE these videos so much. Id love to see Josiphine in her ballerina days
I did ballet for three years when I was younger and I have to say, the pain I felt from each video? Excruciating. >~
The one at 5:52 isn't Cringe, it's Child Abuse.
I agree, it’s sick the text was “ballet dance training😂” what kind of person does that?
I think you mean 5:22
He was STANDING ON HER like. No! That poor baby.
Ok but for real though, that "non dancer" who just bought point shoes to make her 5 year old self happy had better feet than some actual dancers
As a competitive dancer who also does ballet, I love watching your channel!

That last pointe shoe was as dead as Maya's toe pads...
I don't dance but I live for these
josephine when will you stop torturing yourself with these 😭😭
Seriously
"Are those cups?" was said with the most disappointed mum voice. LOL
Wow! Zombie Pointe shoes do exist! 😅
To answer Josephine’s question: Shopee is the SE Asian version of Amazon since we don’t have Amazon (though we can order…with shipping double the price of the item most of the time😂).
omg, the last one is zombie point shoes, in time for halloween
1:05 during this tiktok it reminded me when I was doing a bar routine during gymnastics and my fingers slipped from the fingerholes on my grips, so scary
I love your videos and channel so much!
As a ballerina, I can relate to these haha
Last one was definitely a zombie pointe shoe
the second one happened to me during my pointe dance. it was so painful and really scary. and it was so embarassing 😭

NOT THE CUPS
4:23 basically "Shopee" is the Filipino equivalent to amazon.
I don't like the cup things, they're not funny, watching Josephine's reaction is not funny, can we stop already?
Yeah, it’s so overplayed and was never funny to begin with
The shoe coming off her foot but goung on like nothing happening is like marching band kids stepping over someone who fell on the field. I also had one of my bandmates loose her shoe during our final evaluation and was able to slip right back into it as she passed it again

In all honesty, I couldn’t watch the whole thing. I broke my ankle this weekend and could not stop wincing! 😅 I’ll be back for these in 6-8 weeks!!!
I feel like this should have been Josephine's Halloween video. She looks like she needs therapy now.

Dude! I can literally walk on my ankles if I wanted to! That's how flexible my ankles are!
I think what's happening on that last one is that the dog got one of her shoes and she's showing us the remains.
The last one was terrifying! A thing of nightmares!
that last one looked like her dog started chowin down on her shoe.
I don’t even do ballet lol but these videos make me laugh every time or gasp in amazement! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The last one is giving Balenciaga gives balletcore ✨
I had a ballet teacher with a point like that
I got my first pair of point shoes at 6 years old my feet are very strong and ankles
Bro was wearing cups IN THE BATHROOM! People die from falling down in there.
Thank you! I am actually going on point very soon for the first time!! I can’t wait to go up! Can’t imagine how that would hurt! Just got my letter today!!
“ we need some rosin up in hear “ 😂
i genuinely thought inspired was said like that until i heard the correct version again
Shopee is like amazon but for the philipines, I used to live there and I swear I shopped on there an unhealthy amount-
GIRL I LOVE UR HAIR TO MUCH
Shopee is a shopping app in Southeast Asia! Was so shocked to see it mentioned here.
4:52 shopee is the southeast asian version of amazon 😂
It's huge in Brazil too, I'm not sure about the rest of southern America

Just got real bad news, I needed this.
You know your expressions when you see cup-shoes just makes me laugh.
And that child abuse we do that in rg and it hurts even more
I’m nearly 21 years old and I can sickle my feet just like the girl in the first TiK Tok. I’ve never taken a ballet class in my life.
We’re going to have to set up a go fund me for Josephine’s therapy
my teacher would probably snap my feet in half if I sickled my feet

pov Josephine in every video:*not even a second after the tiktok* ARE THOSE CUPS!?
I cringed at all of them too! Former dance instructor here.
LOL I don't know what is worse, cups as "pointe shoes" or pointe shoes from Wish/Shopee.
8:21
I literally said "IS THAT EVEN A POINTE SHOE!?
7:52 it’s giving the grinches feet and hands 😂
Another tiktok video, I love these videos xx
Josephines reactions are so cute!😂😂😂😂
That last one, forget dead pointe shoe, that was a zombie pointe shoe!!
I was scared for a sec after she asked for a palate cleanser video that the next video was going to be cups.😂

Finding adult classes are so hard
I’m a ballerina just suffering watching this😂🎉
I was a gymnastics, and I never been been push into the split like that girl. It breaks my 😮heart.
My eyes went wide scared of the vid😭
UPDATE: ITS ONLY THE FIST VID AND IM DYING SEND HELP
I love how my jaw dropped with the last shoe and then I look at Josephine and she is the same 😅
The shower kid? I couldn't stop laughing
