Love how you didn't mention an age restriction for being "too old". Too many dancers don't take those steps of achieving their dreams cuz they think they are too old. ❤

I'm 21(22 Next month) and just started ballet again. My goal isn't to go professional obviously but I do want to get onto pointe. When I was 13/14 I was about to go onto pointe then I got pulled out of dance class due to funds and since then it has been an itch I can't scratch. I eventually sucked up the courage to start again and I could't be happier. There is something about ballet where no matter how tired or how much pain there is, you just want to dance and push yourself.

I don’t even dance but I enjoy your videos ❤️

Fortunately there doesn't seem to be an upper age limit!🤣🤣🤣

i’m 14 and i’ve been in pre pointe for a year and i’m getting my pointe shoes (hopefully) soon. i might be a little late but i’m still growing and will be for the next 2+ years

Josephine, I'm really curious what is the oldest person you've fitted for thier first pair of pointe shoes. (I know a woman who went on point last year at age 45.)

Just got my first pair of pointe shoes!! They're grisko 2007 pros!! At my studio our teacher comes with us fits are feet, because she was a professional dancer!!

My dance class all went on pointe when we started highschool (12/13), our teacher sat us down and told us we could start getting assessed and fitted

I do tap dancing and jazz dancing, but I haven't done ballet since I was, like, 4. I'm almost about to cry as I watch this because I want to dance ballet and go en pointe SO BAD!!! But it's literally January right now, so I'll have to wait until the fall... I am very, VERY mad at myself for not doing ballet, jazz, and tap since I was 3 or 4. So bummed out right now...

Thanks for doing this vid it was very useful XX

Lilliana ketchman has pointe shoes and she’s 10, she’s had them for like 2 years 🥴🤨

Hi Josephine! I was wondering if you could do a video reviewing the Bloch Synthesis pointe shoe? Thank you ❤️❤️

I don't even dance but I want to. Currently I'm 15 and I plan on starting when I'm 17-18

I know why, but I clicked because I love Josephine.

I started at 11, but ive heard people who have started wayyyy younger. I personally think that's reaallly dangerous

Does anyone have tips for getting over your box in second position?

Just sat here and was seeing if I could individually move each toe... I can’t lol oh and I don’t dance lol but I love watching these videos

My 3 year old daughter is obsessed with the idea of being up on her toes. It has gotten to the point that I have had to ask her ballet teacher to talk to her about it as I am really worried she will damage her feet. Thankfully since then she seems to be not trying to do it as much, I can now go tell her she has to wait another 10 years haha.

I’m 15 I’m only in grade 4 ballet idta and I’m so close to point I just have to pass grade 4

When I was 12 I was about to go on pointe and my dance school burnt down. My mum got a job and worked hours where I couldn’t be put into a dance school until 2021. I feel like it completely ruined my chances of getting on pointe before I turn 18. I’m 17.

Come to Houston!

Hi! 14 yo dancer here. I really really want to try pointe but don’t know when to start. I’ve been dancing since I was two, however not entirely in ballet, mostly jazz and lyrical. I have taken ballet before and started taking classes for ballet this year. Do you know when I can start?

For all those who say that a kids ankles are strong, their bones aren’t yet matured to do it yet

I’m 15. I’m not sure whether I even want to go en pointe at all. I don’t want to become a professional dancer. Do you have any advice on whether it’s worth it to go en pointe for someone who doesn’t want a future in dance?

Are there any 7 years old pont shoe 👟

when I went on point I was 9

Ok so I'm a late starter i started half a year ago but I am almost thirteen and im sort of panicking because I want a professional ballet career because it is my dream but I am freaking out because I am not on pointe and I'm practically thirteen. My teacher says my feet are strong and flexible enough, and I should be able to get into beginner pointe but the person who decides which level i go into happen to come on THE WORST DAY WHEN I WAS SICK AND TIRED! so as you probably guessed, I wasn't that good. Any tips??? Bc I am desperate to improve as quickly as possible while being safe of course.

I am old enough for pointe but my dance teacher haven’t told me yet to start working on pointe. And yes I know it’s dangerous but I started dancing on pointe a last week and it’s really not that bad.

I have pointe shoes!! My teacher said I could I am under 11

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. X

Is 11 a good age? I know it's different for everybody

Actually as a species we are the best long distance runners for our size, or one of the best. We are designed for running so running a marathon was probably a breeze for some of our ancestors.

First!!! Xx

But running a marathon is natural for human beings. We are built for long distance running, that's why we sweat, it helps to keep us cool while running.

I went en pointe when I was 7

I can already do point but my teacher says that I have to be 11 or 12. I am naw only 9 nearly 10 but i can do it and it’s unfair that I have to stay back because I am held back and I can’t do eny thing that challenges me

When you said point shoes isn't designed for humans, and running is not normal, I also will say swimming isnt normal either bc your not used to breathing in water.

Lol I went on at 8
