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.

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. 💀

There's people doing stupid things, or just having some bad luck... and then there's child abuse.

Josephine smiling to cancel out the cringe is just a ✨mood✨...Giving "Just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave."

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

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. 😅

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!

Can Josephine get a bunch of like kitten and happy point shoe videos for one episode?

That poor little girl broke my heart. That’s actual child abuse.

Why does ballet cringe constantly flirt the line with irl body horror? Its no wonder Josephine can't help but cringe

The trying cup shoes as a ballet dancer video was me! thank you for reacting to it, sorry about the cup shoes 😂

Please give Josephine a lovely gentle pointe shoe making/geeking out/history video soon, for her sanity!

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!!!

Im not even a ballerina but I LOVE these videos so much. Id love to see Josiphine in her ballerina days

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.

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.

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

As a competitive dancer who also does ballet, I love watching your channel!

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

Wow! Zombie Pointe shoes do exist! 😅

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 😭😭

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.)

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 🙏

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

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

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😂).

NOT THE CUPS

I don't like the cup things, they're not funny, watching Josephine's reaction is not funny, can we stop already?

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.

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

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

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!!!

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

4:52 shopee is the southeast asian version of amazon 😂

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.

The last one was terrifying! A thing of nightmares!

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

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!

The last one is giving Balenciaga gives balletcore ✨

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

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

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

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.

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!!

Bro was wearing cups IN THE BATHROOM! People die from falling down in there.

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

Josephines reactions are so cute!😂😂😂😂

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

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

7:52 it’s giving the grinches feet and hands 😂

2:24 when the universe says I'm going to set you down in the most humiliating way possible before you hurt yourself.

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 !!!!!!!🎉😊

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

Another tiktok video, I love these videos xx

Just got real bad news, I needed this.

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!

I had a ballet teacher with a point like that

“ we need some rosin up in hear “ 😂

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

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

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

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

Can I quickly summon some stays please? SHOPPEE PEE PEE PEE PEE

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

That first one got me 😂❤

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

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

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😭

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

The shower kid? I couldn't stop laughing

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

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

I’m a ballerina just suffering watching this😂🎉

The immediate cringe, after saying, "try not to cringe", was nearly as good as the cup dancing!

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

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

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 💖

GIRL I LOVE UR HAIR TO MUCH

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.

Finding adult classes are so hard

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.

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

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

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.☠️

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

4th, this feels illegal

Please… I wanted to watch it before sleep for some dopamine, and you straight up insert child abuse in the video, without even warning. Please, stop it

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

5:50 this gave me the idea to trey and use my platforms like pointe shoes…. It kinda works….

4:34 My sister stands like this with both feet without holding onto something

I was a synchronized swimmer for over 10 years and about half was spent in professional competitions until my team and I eventually got selected for the national team. That little girl doing the splits with the coach on her thigh? That was our life, about 4 days a week, between 15-25 hours a week when I was around 6-10 until our bodies were moulded perfectly and we could do every movement in our sleep, effortlessly, including the splits of course. I know it looks extreme but we all signed up for this when we went into the pro team instead of the "gala" team (which mainly does performances, so more for fun and not aiming at becoming pro athletes). My coach would sit on our shoulders as we were doing the splits to make sure we touched the ground, and eventually we would do it with our teammates. One teammate would be on the ground while the other would be putting pressure or sitting to help the other reach whatever they were trying to reach at the time. We actually had to take ballet classes about 2 hours per week as well as 3 hours of lifting weights and building muscles in a gym for athletes, because synchronized swimming is one of the most complex sports that exists in how it combines several other sports and expects you to be a professional at all of them. I loved my life as a swimmer, I was turning pro and getting sponsors and everything when my team and I were around 16, then I got injured very bad and from then, I had to slowly dicrease my practice until eventually I had to quit, right when my professional career was starting. That's why I watch ballet content now, cause no one makes synchronised swimming content lmao and it's the closest thing I could find.

LOL I don't know what is worse, cups as "pointe shoes" or pointe shoes from Wish/Shopee.

9:11 "What is that?!?" Balenciaga pointe shoe.
