Changes in the dance world are keeping Kira Robinson on her toes -- and she couldn't be happier.

Recently, Robinson went viral on TikTok for posting a video trying on new brown pointe shoes that matched her skin tone.

Robinson, an 18-year-old freshman ballet major at the University of Oklahoma, said the feedback has been incredible.

"I received a lot of comments on my TikTok about how representation is super necessary in the dance world and how a lot of people don't have that or see that often," she told "Good Morning America."

For the last two years, Robinson has had to "pancake" -- a term used for blending makeup foundation to match a specific skin tone -- her pointe shoes. She said the weekly routine can be both costly and time consuming.
