I'm from the UK, don't do ballet, don't even dance - but these videos make me wanna come and get fitted for pointe shoes with you guys 🥲💀

I thought Jospehine was freaking out at the sight of the cup because of the cup trend, but then I noticed the handle! 😂

The goosebumps I got when the little girl went from pretending to be Esmerelda, to actually being her on stage 🥹😭🩷 that is literally the sweetest thing, I’m crying and so are you 😭

When Josephine is cracking up over the foot fetish video and then a couple videos a couple videos later, what does she say? "She has gorgeous feet!" It's OK, Josephine! We know your foot fetish isn't the icky kind! 😂

TikToker: *accues Josephine of having a foot fetish* Josephine: *doesn't deny it once, even after learning what it is*

I love that the little girl pretending to be Esmeralda was dancing with a dog dish! Good for her keeping the dream until it was reality.

Tried to impress a Ballet friend in college by standing on point in steel toed combat boots. Managed it despite being an overweight man who has never taken dance class. She then started sketching out plans to modify the boots into toe shoes. She ended up kit bashing an old pair of toe shoes to look like boots and wore them to a mosh pit. Don't mosh will Ballerinas, they can end you and all that you love. ( yes i mixed up Toe shoes and pointe shoes. Two different things)

The fact that Jo acknowledges (and likes?) Barbie ballet movies makes me happy in ways I cannot explain.

Josephine says she'd be chill at a dance competition, but we all know she'd be helping fix fit issues on all the competitors pointe shoes. (Her own kids would already have 3 pairs of perfect shoes ready to go)

OH MAN! They came for Josephine hard... in the funniest way possible! I love your sense of humor Josephine. It's so refreshing.

Josephine fitting everyone’s feet in her head is me (a ballet teacher) internally correcting everyone’s posture the moment I meet them. I even do it when I’m watching movies 😅

The "getting to the other side of the stage" made me laugh so hard tho, in the middle of tech week for my local theatre musical, they always start the safety chat with "now there's no running backstage" haha yeah Na mate

Ok, so I know they say that point shoes give the illusion of floating, but the dancer at 2:45 for real just drifted effortlessly. It was like she was in zero gravity, so elegant.

I can totally relate to the dancer who went onstage with her leg warmers on! I was in a musical where the director decided everyone would wear white tennis shoes instead of jazz shoes. Because they felt the same as the tennis shoes I wore on the way to the theater, I forgot to take off my BLACK tennis shoes, and wore them for the whole first act! 😱🤦🏻‍♀️😳

Not me watching the "how dancers sit" at the breakfast table and realizing I had my feet propped en rélevé 😅

Josephine getting called out for loving feet❤😂 you can’t help it!! It’s your passion❤

I can totally imagine forgetting that I was wearing leg warmers. I've had nightmares in which I was wearing fuzzy house slippers instead of dance shoes.

The contemporary dance teacher skit is exactly how my acting teacher says things! 😂

a star wars ballet would actually be stunning though, imagine a pas de deux of Anakin and Padme to Across the Stars

OMG I ALSO GOT CHILLS WHEN THE LITTLE GIRL WENT FROM PRACTICING WITH A POT TO ON STAGE DOING THE ESMERELDA VARIATION!!!!!!!!!!!! IT MADE ME SO HAPPY!!!!!!!! ❤😊

The leg warmer thing is hilarious! I’m an equestrian and you aren’t allowed to have any leg protection in dressage tests but a lot of people warm up with boots on the horses legs. It is a recurring nightmare of dressage riders and the rule is that if you are a decent person you have to run after a person screaming if they try to enter the arena with boots on their horse 🤣

I'm so glad that you finally reacted to something from Julia del Bianco! Whenever her videos get shared to other accounts, she cops a lot of hate from people who don't thing she should be en pointe or even doing ballet, but I admire her so much so it makes me so happy that you had nothing bad to say at all.

I'm 60 years old and haven't actually danced in many years, but I still sit with my feet like that! Always on my toes.

I don’t dance, I could not be graceful to save my own damn life, but I LIVE for this channel. Love watching so many videos of talented people while you provide commentary and context. Sometimes its better than watching a documentary about dance 💃

This was a delight. SO delightful. As always. And that they found a TikTok that MENTIONED Josephine and how much they love her??? OUTSTANDING!!!!

"All I'm thinking about is her pointe shoes on concrete" Same, Josephine, same... Also. I immediately Googled Pop Plus Ballet. And was not disappointed. And... yeah. Just because I was in ballet doesn't mean I can dance at parties 🤣

We should start tagging Josephine and have her watch videos of our feet and fit us virtually 😂😂😂

2:05 I adore the little ‘SPOING!’ noise the bowl made as her foot connected. Wonderful to see her live out her childhood dreams!

I love having my mom act like a “dance dad” At competitions. Both my parents are so chill (mostly cuz they don’t know what’s happening) and I feel like it takes so much pressure off of me. I do my makeup, hair, stretch, and everything and my parents help if I really need it

That was the FIRST time I've ever seen a woman so large doing ballet on pointe!!! And she was BEAUTIFUL!!! So graceful! I hope she's an inspiration for every little "fat" girl who dreams of being a ballerina!! I am 71 and was the little "fat" girl who begged for ballet lessons, but was told "you're too big". Whoever you are, NEVER give up your dream!

Josephine your reaction Alone to the British girl was absolutely priceless and worth subbing to your channel! Let’s all admit it, we Love her and this channel is Stellar! Thank you!❤❤

5:40 so I’m watching yoda, text popped up, and fully thought it said “I’m hard for this” not “hear for this” and considering it was after the foot fet¡sh one…. 😂😂😂😂💀💀

It's always a good day when I open youtube and find a new Ballet Tiktok video from Josephine. I hope this is as fun for you as it is for us!

Josephine, stand by for literally A MILLION ballet mugs lol

I'm trying to think of places where I'm barefoot outside my own home and all I can come up with is the sauna or a neuropathy check. I now can't get the image out of my head of Josephine picking the wrong door at the doctor's, seeing someone with color changing paper taped to their soles and a nurse actively poking them in the foot with needles and tongue depressors and just thinking "they need some pointe shoes, stat." Though it would make for an interesting video to fit someone with diabetic feet.

That clip of the little girl 5 years later made me all teary eyed- so sweet

The Esmeralda bit at 2:00 made me tear up a little, I'm so happy for them!!!

I learned so much from your videos and reactions as an adult beginner, that today at my fitting for my first pair of pointes, I was prepared for what to look out for and found a wonderful pair with the help of the fitter. We'll see how well I will work in them, but thank you for being so informative in your videos ❤

I love that the dance dads managed to sneak in beer to a children’s dance competition. 😂

30 years after I was last in pointe shoes and I still rate every pair of shoes as if they were pointe shoes, and roll up onto my toes every night while sleeping. It freaks out the other half when I'm running through dance sequences in my dreams. 😂

My brain: "it's too short, this must've only been a 2 minute video" * Clicks on it * 8:24 😮😅😅 Time flies when you watch Josephine

4:45 somebody said it!!!

1:30 as a jazz and tap dancer, gotta add the “now I want you to give me a Shirley temple and follow that up with an Irish” as something perfectly normal to say lmao

Star Wars: The Ballet... that is brilliant! Yes, weird and foot-fettishy, but brilliant! Love your vlogs. Thank you sooo much!

I never thought of Josephine as having a foot fetish, but after her comment about seeing you barefoot and how she's already fitting you in her mind, I'd say she does and didn't even know about it until it was called to her attention. 😂😂😂

0:12 I need this mug too😭

Josephine just makes me smile. Her laugh is contagious!

La esmaralda is one of my favorite ballets. Also you are amazing Josephine. And the fact you know the brand of pointe shoes when you see them Is just pure talent✨🩰. Love you ❤❤❤

5:28 and this person right here is why I started being recommended ballet content on YT and got to your channel. I actually had just wanted Harry Potter parodies.

Not only do you have to run to the other side of the stage but you also have to change your costume on the way. The struggle is real 🤣

Thank you for including a ballet dancer who looks like me 🥰 It’s been a bit difficult to find more representation of plus size dancers but I started ballet again as an adult when I went to go for my PhD (because where else am I going to pay £40 for a year of ballet (well 9 months)), and in the UK it’s been so hard to find dance gear for larger people. But seeing that dancer in the video has made me incredibly happy 💖

Omg Josephine talking about fitting people in her head like I analyze peoples gates all the time whilst just out and about, you can't escape it

The chunky sandals are just cheap ali express mass produced slides that companies private label. Its a common house slipper in asia, but I guess its used for outdoor use in the west?

Still the most wholesome person on the internet. ♥ I want to see a video of the editors reacting to videos to show to Josephine and planning on how many cups to include. Or seeing videos of her realising she's watching a video about herself. 😁 More reactions!!! 🤣

I’m dying over the spot in the back I can’t💀

The way Josephine was called out in that TikTok was so unexpected- keep up the good videos!

I stopped dancing 23 years ago and have arthritis in my toes now but every time I watch these I want to put on a pair of pointe shoes one last time.

Yes, I went back and watched the little girl with the metal bowl grow up to be a ballerina - twice.

Why did the POP PLUS performer make me cry???? I’ve been struggling with my weight for a few years now and to see her beautiful performance, and how gorgeous she was in that beautiful dress made me realize I could do the same and look the same and be the same even in my weight. 🤩😭

I just got so called out with the tiktok "how dancers sit"... yeah, I always sit with my feet like that... I cannot sit normal with my feet flat 😂

As someone who has done both ballet and modern, the vocabulary TikTok cracked me up!

Those pink squishy slippers are great. Very comfy….as long as you’re wearing socks with them. Otherwise they will eventually rub the tops of your feet bc it’s textured.

I had a dance this year on stage and I did a leap on stage then got off and ran like flash in the back of the stage 1:44

When you said that, when you see bare feet, you automatically mentally start thinking about which pointe shoe would work, I laughed sooo hard! Honey, if you saw my bare feet, it would scar you for life!! You’d say, “forget the shoe, let’s get this lady the boxes the shoes came in!” and you’d never fit another pair of shoes. 😵 🤣🤣🤣

*1:48** The way the guy absolutely FLATTENED himself against the wall 😂*

Omg the roasting of Josephine 😂😂😂

I think I may have a problem. I was thinking “oh crap, Josephine is gonna lose it. That chick is dancing on concrete.”

The last one was literally my mom vs my dad when I dance 😂 So Relatable

Remember when you didn't think you'd hit ten? 😀 And now you're going on to 27!!

I love these videos so much !!

I'm not a dancer, but I am a rock climber and I recently realised that I can go on point in my climbing shoes.

I do tap ballet hip hop and acro and seeing these makes me want to practice and have more classes not just on Mondays

3:14 I didn’t know other dancers do this I thought it was only me lol

I CLICKED ON THIS BECAUSE OF ERIN BROADHURST. SHE IS MY NEUROSPICY QUEEN

5:57 I remember opening night, I was performing in the Sound of Music as Rolf, and I totally forgot I still had my AIRPODS on during my first scene, like I danced around with it. It was an extremely humiliating moment for me. 😂😅

3:30 Wait, it isn't normal to sit like that? Never danced, but I did fencing as a teenager.

Used to practice ballet when I was a kid and even danced in a theater once but ended up quitting because of a bad experience I had while my teacher tried to make me do a split (which ended up scaring me and make me quit) And this videos just make me want to go back but I fear I may not be able to streatch enough. Thank you for reminding me how much I actually love ballet, even when I no longer practice it.

I am a MT AND MY FAVORITE IS WORKING ON FEET. Feet are amazing.

So satisfying watching a couple of your videos, makes you feel like you must have done something good today 😊 laughter, something gross, something sweet, something amazing, etc.😊

The one dancing under the flower is my ballet teacher (for REAL)!!!!!

NAUR we have two recitals like basically every year in dance, and WE CANT DO THE FIRST ONE AND ITS LITERALLY THE NUTCRACKER 😭😭

1:23 As a contemp dancer, this is very true

Oh no 🤣🤣🤣 The Esmeralda girl is the same one that forgot the leg warmers 🤣🤣🤣

Ok, yup. The mug. But oh man I laughed about the dancing terminology. SO so true re contemporary! 😂

this makes me sad and happy at the same time! i danced ballet from age 2 1/2 to 13, and then i was forced to quit because we moved to LA, and y'all the PRICES FOR DANCING HERERRERE???? but i wish every day now that i hadn't. i was never good, i was never even average, but it was fun! all these little girls out here with gorgeous talent DONT STOPP GIRLS! i regret stopping! its only been 2 years wince i stopped, and i now have the flexibility of a pasta noodle, and can barely turn out or split more than like, 45 degrees, but i still remember and love my ballet.

When I was a teenager in ballet, we actually did a star wars performance. It wasn't exactly ballet, more modern/danceline but it was fun. They dimmed all the lights and we had flashlights that we would turn off and on in sync and dance with, I guess like light sabers? It was an interesting concept lol. Great music though.

I just love the way Josephine reacts 🥰 it’s so genuine and real!! I laugh right along 😊

Fun as always! Tom’s (basic) shoes are great. They have a flat toe box and a full, flexible (rubber) sole.

make the shakespear verion of star wars into a ballet too....epic

I’ve been binge watching all of your videos😂

Regarding mentally fitting perfect strangers on the street in pointe shoes, as a hair dresser I do the exact same thing. I’ve already figured out how to enhance your color, best cut, and styling your hair for a photo shoot. All before you finish paying for your groceries.

Because of you, the first thing I notice on a dancer is the arch of the foot.

I want those flower lights!

The fact that every single TikTok reacts video she does, she says you do you boo at least once😂😂😂😂😂

The last one is honestly so true. I'm stressing out so much with quick changes, praying I don't pull a muscle, maybe slightly regretting doing so many dances, and then the moms are trying their best to help, and then the brothers and dads are vibing in the audience, just waiting for us to come on.

This was a good one, Josephine!

I'm so glad you saw the one with the tambourine!! I was thinking of you when I saw it!

Is it js me or do i LOVE how josephine talks like she puts a grrr to the end of some of her words liek "aalready" iykyk

This one made me snort laughing 😂 Thanks!

Star wars the Ballet! My dance school just had a concert and the junior ballet in it was Star wars. We had like a storm trooper dance and everything (the yoda costume was hilarious.)
