@@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.

Wow! Zombie Pointe shoes do exist! 😅

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.)

That last pointe shoe was as dead as Maya's toe pads...

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.

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 🙏

"Are those cups?" was said with the most disappointed mum voice. LOL

omg, the last one is zombie point shoes, in time for halloween

NOT THE CUPS

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😂).

I love your videos and channel so much! As a ballerina, I can relate to these haha

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 love all of your videos, you're amazing ♥♥

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 don’t even do ballet lol but these videos make me laugh every time or gasp in amazement! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

the second one happened to me during my pointe dance. it was so painful and really scary. and it was so embarassing 😭

Last one was definitely a zombie pointe shoe

Josephines reactions are so cute!😂😂😂😂

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! 🙏

I feel like this should have been Josephine's Halloween video. She looks like she needs therapy now.

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.

that last one looked like her dog started chowin down on her shoe.

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!!

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!

GIRL I LOVE UR HAIR TO MUCH

The last one was terrifying! A thing of nightmares!

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

We’re going to have to set up a go fund me for Josephine’s therapy

That first one got me 😂❤

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.

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 !!!!!!!🎉😊

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.

Omg I love this, but i danced at the studio she’s filming in it’s in Long Beach at Cal U State I went there for a Jofferey ballet intensive!

Shopee is a shopping app in Southeast Asia! Was so shocked to see it mentioned here.

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

You know your expressions when you see cup-shoes just makes me laugh.

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.

I was scared for a sec after she asked for a palate cleanser video that the next video was going to be cups.😂

pov Josephine in every video:*not even a second after the tiktok* ARE THOSE CUPS!?

Oh my gosh! I think the girl thats heels popped off was dancing where I dance my shows! Do you happen to have the original link for this video?

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.

i really want start ballet but i'm not super flexible, is there a way i can start doing small things to work my up to starting classes? i'm 16 and i really want to just do ballet even if it's for fun

This is unrelated to the TikTok content but it’s driving me crazy because the studio looks so familiar. The exact same chalkboard, the whiteboard in the back, the pinkish sound things, the outline of a stage type area - was this filmed at CSULB? I swear I’ve taken classes in that exact studio

Dude! I can literally walk on my ankles if I wanted to! That's how flexible my ankles are!

Can you do a Video on the new bloch etu Pointe shoe? :)

I had a ballet teacher with a point like that

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.

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.☠️

The shower kid? I couldn't stop laughing

4:23 basically "Shopee" is the Filipino equivalent to amazon.

WHERE ARE THE HEELS FROM I NEED THEMMMMM

my teacher would probably snap my feet in half if I sickled my feet

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

Omg yay we did it we got in josephine’s video! ❤❤😊

i love ballet so much... cringey or not... i still enjoyed these clips ... btw... im also a beginner... learning from youtube tutorials... but someday i wanna enroll in a real ballet class 💖

This gave me anxiety, my mum was a ballet dancer, (50's) she told me how they got "more stretch" out of her. Such outdated practices, trouble is the coaches are doing what they were taught, believe it not they are doing it out of love.... dance science has moved on. There are far better ways to incease your flexability. Painless ways!

Josephine is so sweet I cant

I cringed at all of them too! Former dance instructor here.

8:21 I literally said "IS THAT EVEN A POINTE SHOE!?

Shopee is like amazon but for the philipines, I used to live there and I swear I shopped on there an unhealthy amount-

i genuinely thought inspired was said like that until i heard the correct version again

I got my first pair of point shoes at 6 years old my feet are very strong and ankles

0:55 this has happend to me but i was wearing a long skirt and a part of the dance was to crouch down so while i was crouching down i fixed it

I’m a ballerina just suffering watching this😂🎉

As a Pre-Professional Ballerina…..this is sooooo disturbing 🤮🫣🫣 I’m scared 😳

And that child abuse we do that in rg and it hurts even more

I can sickle like that! I have bad hips and knees, so my feet and ankles are very strong and flexible.

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
