As an adult beginner ballerina, I decided to create an adult ballet class that would be a safe space for dancers of all ages, talent levels and more. So this ballet class was not only film friendly, it was more importantly SHAME FREE. Even though I've done this workshop before, this time I wanted it to have an extra special holiday TWIST! So we also raffled off an adult ballerina started pack and other fun prizes!
This was a beginner ballet class for adults where we could all come together, have fun, make friends and learn real ballet technique in a ballet workshop unlike any other in NYC! Here's the full story of how I put it all together from start to finish.
Plus! You'll see some other days in my life as an adult ballerina, like the day I went to my first live ballet EVER at American Ballet Theater and see what it's like to learn ballet as an adult beginner ballerina. It was a crazy month and week in my life as an adult ballerina!

🍓 HI, I'M VERONICA VICCORA
Hi there! I'm Veronica, welcome to my beginner dance journey. When I was 17, I was told by a teacher that I would never be a ballerina. I let that thought control me for YEARS but now, in my late 20s, I moved to New York City and I'm finally starting ballet late. This is a space for me to document the ups and downs of learning how to do ballet in my 20s and show anyone that it's never too late to live your dreams.

    Good idea to iron the bows. They look so much better! I just love your enthusiasm for ballet! I've watched a few of your videos and think you have already accomplished so much. You envision and then make it happen! Holding adult ballet workshops is such a gift to adult dancers. I'm 68 and still taking ballet classes every week. It's been my lifelong love. You're just getting started!!

    Veronica! You are truly so incredible. Your spirit is full of joy and love. I hope to start taking some adult ballet classes soon :) Thanks for being a positive and inspiring presence! Also, where did you get those amazing black and white pants that have different types of fabric? The ones that sort of look like leggings with white square patches. I always see them in your dance clips and they are too cute!

    Veronica, Can you go through the steps you take to create each of these endeavours? Like your ballet classes and clothing line etc and how you got sponsors for your ballerina starter pack?

    Such a great question! The biggest answer to everything is I really just ASK! When I wanted to do the workshops, I reached out to a bunch of studios and asked what it would take to make it happen. And then I asked a bunch of people I thought would make good teachers. (I explain more in the first workshop video I did). kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6mdxraGnpy7ebg.html Same thing with the sponsors, I just started reaching out to various businesses that I've loved and supported over the years to see if they'd want to work together by donating something. I used to have to do stuff like that for High School fundraisers so I thought it wouldn't be too different. And the clothing line is still very much in the process but I started asking around to different people, or googling things like "how to start a clothing line." I still don't fully understand it but that's why I started with hats because you can find tons of blank hats from manufacturers and then find someone to embroider them! Hope that helps

    Watching you advance in ballet it's obvious to see how you were created to dance ballet. It's crazy to think that you couldn't start earlier, I'm sure you have some prima ballerina material.

    Haha I AGREE! I hate that the 90s are considered vintage now but alas… 🥲 it was one of their original tags from the 90s though which I thought was cool! So definitely didn’t mean to offend!
