How a Fear of Dance Injury Can Be Paralyzing | Strictly Ballet - Season 2, Episode 4

Ойын-сауық

Carlos Valdés and his family left everything behind in Cuba when they moved to America to support Carlos’ pursuit of a professional ballet career. Then when Carlos got injured and could not dance for several months, his psychological fear of another injury became its own obstacle. See how he overcame that fear and grew stronger.

    I totally sympathize with all of the aspiring professional dancers out there. I can’t imagine how impossible that lifestyle must be. But I also think there’s beauty in knowing that dancing will always be there, no matter what happens in your career. I went to a fine arts charter school and was exposed to different styles of dance... I fell in love with it but knew the entire time that It would never be more than a hobby. ***Obviously this is just my experience, but it’s all about perspective. Don’t let the pressure of the end game or fear of competition/self-doubt ruin your passion! Dance is a language, and it never leaves you. Be proud of that! And I’m sure you’re all amazing. You inspire me. ❤️✌️

    As a competitive equestrian, I can really relate to this video. "Between what we think we do and what we really do, sometimes there is a huge gap." And fear of injury, especially after a fall or accident. It takes time and you just have to be patient with yourself and keep pushing through. I really appreciate that these challenges are universal when one is trying to achieve and improve their craft.

    When they dance and land from their jumps, all I stare at is their ankles (also their thighs, but mostly their ankles lol). I can't help but think how much stress they put on their ankles. Personally, I played basketball growing up and remember wearing braces or sleeves to help support my ankles from the lands. But I do credit them with being really good at taking care of their bodies. Icing and all that crap. When I sprained my ankle, I was stubborn and literally only used crutches for a day. Then for the next few months I suffered but walked off the pain haha.
