Pointe Shoe Fitter Reacts to BALLET TIK TOK 38

Welcome back to TikTok 38, everyone! It's Joseph from The Point Shop here, and we’re getting really close to hitting 40 TikToks. Today, we're diving into various ballet-related TikToks that range from hilarious to educational. Let’s get started.

Stretch Ribbons and Ballet Dogs

One recurrent theme I've noticed across studios is the importance of stretch ribbons that are looped. These make putting on pointe shoes much faster and more efficient. Oh, and there's this adorable dog hanging out in one of the videos, just adding a casual, cute factor.

Ballerina Music Box and Creative Arts

One TikTok features what I'd call a real ballerina music box, where they blend pole dancing with ballet. It's a beautiful and innovative display of skills. However, it takes a humorous turn with Pinocchio joining in the fun.

Valet Teacher and Pinocchio

The valet teacher humorously explains the importance of balancing your body stretches. He goes on to show Pinocchio on pointe, comparing it to how a donkey's hooves match the shape of pointe shoes. It’s hilarious yet educative.

Point Confidence and Technique

Another TikTok delves into the basics of pointe confidence, focusing particularly on the challenges of keeping the foot pointed when most ballet dancers learn to absorb landings differently.

Male Dancers on Pointe

It's worth noting how strong a male dancer looks while on pointe. He mentions the significant mind-over-matter aspect and the need for feet and intrinsic muscle training. It's fascinating how different this is compared to typical ballet.

Teaching Terminology and Cute Kids

We then see a creative way of teaching ballet terminology using piggyback songs to make it engaging for young students. It’s absolutely adorable.

Ballet Teacher’s “One More Time”

A montage of clips features the famous phrase every ballet student knows: "One more time!" Spoiler: It’s never just one more time, and that's what makes it both nerve-wracking and fun.

Pointe Shoe History

In an insightful video, a dancer shares her pointe shoe history starting from the age of 8. She discusses various brands like Pavlova by Capzio, Gamba, Bloch, and Grishko, highlighting how her preferences evolved over time.

Dream Roles and Cute Dances

One TikTok shows how ballerinas adapt traditional narratives, like Mother Goose, making them entertaining and visually attractive. Another creative snippet shows a dancer recycling an old tutu, which is both innovative and practical.

Extending Pointe Shoe Life

Lastly, a dancer offers a fascinating hack to extend the life of pointe shoes by removing the outsole. It’s something I’ve never seen before and certainly sparks the curiosity of every dedicated ballet dancer.

That was TikTok 38 folks! I can't wait to see you all in TikTok 39. Keep dancing!
