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!

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! 👯‍♂️

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!

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. 😁

She's actually using something that started out as a shoemakers tool: an awl.

0:06 2:05 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 dance with the milwaukee ballet! i’ve danced with them they’re really nice and cool! ilysm❤️❤️❤️

I live how they are saying “yep” at the same time

Ok but the lighting here is terrible, i couldn't concentrate on the video...

Jeez that exposure

These videos help me sooo much with breaking in my shoes and preparing them!!! Thank you So much Josephine!! I love you soo much!! 🥰

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

Can you do another first pair of points shoes for big feet

I get my first pointe shoes on Friday!! These videos have been really helpful

Who knew that soooooo much goes into fitting & preparing?!?

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☺️

The tool she is using is called an awl in the UK. It’s used in Corsetry making to create holes for the eyelets.

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 ✌🏼😫❤️

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.

Woahhh at 4:37 the girl on the left was mouthing what her sister was saying. So weirddddd

i love these videos!! im starting pointe this year!!

Omg when one is talking the other is mouthing along silently! That’s so weird and interesting.

The tool you were using to make holes for the darning is called an ale. This is coming from a seamstress/ historical costume maker.

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

something is off with the lighting, its very over exposed. it was a little hard to see ngl

Josephine❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😄

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.

Very interesting.

The tool is called a stitching "awl". Pronounced same as "all".

were you a ballerina? very interesting channel👍

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!

Wish I could see what’s happening with the darning properly 😪

I’m getting my first pointe shoes really soon and I’m nervous! Does it hurt?

What does darning do or achieve? I always see dancers darn their shoes but I never heard why

the lighting omg i just had to click off bc i couldn’t see

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.

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 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 ... 😬

Hi comment section

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.
