i appreciate how respectful you were with it! Ive been dancing forever, but I also want to remind people its never too late to start! I would suggest doing it before you're an adult tho, that way you have time to train and then have time to perform as well! I knew a girl who started at 14 and was on pointe by 15 (at my studio) and she was AMAZING.

@@llpassthanks.69 Do not compare yourself to those you are working with,. They may have more time in ballet than you but they were also like you in their beginning. Once you start to compare yourself to them you will get so far in your head that it can cause you delay your progress or quit altogether. I had to do that in the business I was in for over 40 years. I am a tile setter, doing custom work in home fo90r people and it is very rewarding when I do things fresh and new. I had to stop looking at what others have shown in magazines or elsewhere. I just did the work and let it speak for itself. I know they are 2 complete different art forms but you have to not compare nor judge yourself to someone else's standard. I hope this will help you along the way.

i tried really hard as a kid but my first ballet teacher never went beyond very basic stuff, which she taught for years, and then when i got another teacher, she had more to teach but worse with technique. i gave up because i couldn't improve under them and my parents couldn't afford a real good studio. i wonder what it would have been like if i could've gotten a good class growing up :\

A lot of ballet teachers are mean

I am actually a dancer, I started when I was 15, now I am dancing for 7 months. To be honest, I have watched this video twice - the first time was 7 months ago. This video inspired me to start doing ballet, it was not easy at first and it just gets harder and harder. But you know what? I did not give up! After 4 months (i did not dance during summer break) I went on pointe, I progressed so much. I started to dance in theaters in my dance school's dance team. I started from small roles, our teacher - who was organising it, the owner of the school, always gave me something to dance. I am just so happy that I started ballet, this was honestly a really good decision. Tysm!

It is such an awesome experience and seeing how far I've come is so motivating to do even better. This summer we will have a show and I can't wait. I also was going to a class with younger kids and my teacher want me to move to the higher level so I'll get more comfortable with the kids and a more advanced pace of dancing which makes me nervous ! But it's ok ,and if anyone is reading this that is my age or older go for dancing! Don't worry too much about what others think cause everyone started from 0 . Sorry if it's too long :)

Im a figure skater, i dont mean that my sport is harder but it is the fear and also i did ballet and i couldnt handle it🤣(im adhd and very energetic and very impatient. As a kid especially.) But yeah master anything is hard. If she Do a episode on music( learning a instruments) i definetely thing IT Will be one if the hardest.

I don’t like how people think ballet is easy because it’s not and honestly like it’s so hard. My dance studio is close to a shopping mall so a bunch of people walk by every day mocking us and I get super annoyed. Like I’ve already been there for three hours and it’s 9:00 at night and people think it’s so hard. Do people treat people who train for soccer 4 hours a day like that? Do they mock them by pretending to kick a ball. I get mocked by people who put their arms up and say wow that’s so easy, haha. It’s not, u can’t just put ur arms up. U have to have an angle ur arms are at. Ur elbow have to be in front of ur face but not too far in front. Ur hands have to be elegant and not like ur holding a hamburger. Suck in ur belly, put ur shoulders down, don’t hunch ur back, straitened ur knees, turn out ur legs and ur feet, and so much more. And that’s just one position, there’s so many more, like hundreds! And I have to memorize the French names too. ITS NOT EASY!!! I’m not saying u think it’s easy btw. Just venting my anger lol.

As a ballet dancer I think that this is incredible how you you managed to do all of this in only 6 weeks I’ve been doing dance for 7 years and I really appreciate how you show that ballet is very serious and a hard sport to learn. Also love you and your commitment

Your stage presence is wonderful. For someone who never danced you did great for 6 weeks. I am a long time dancer who taught and choreographed and though your technique wasn’t perfect (whose would be after only 6 weeks of ever dancing?) you did great. You looked comfortable on stage and wow the partner dance! You really told a story with that and I can’t get over how you didn’t come off a bit nervous. It’s like you’ve been performing on stage for some time. I hope you’ll continue dancing.

I took a few ballet classes when I was at the age of 7, I think. I idolised ballet because of Barbie, but through the years I started to recognise the true beauty of it. I wish I didn't quit ballet back then. I know it's still not too late, but I'm just so stiff. I want to start ballet again, but in order to do that I have to work REALLY hard on my flexibility. I hope that everyone who wants to start something new later in life or with a hard journey keep doing what they want. Art comes in many forms and we get to decide what kind of art we want to enjoy, even if we are older then usual or we don't fit in with the usual expectations and requirements.

I find it very interesting that ballet is one of the most graceful things you can do or see, yet it can cause so much pain to its performers. What's also interesting is that I always see these videos with older students relearning ballet, and their teachers are always kind and patient. Makes me wonder why the kids in ballet are never treated like this, with patience and understanding for their lack of skill, memory, whatever.

Girl I am so proud ballet isn't easy it is hard I have been doing ballet for 4 almost 5 years but to do all that in 6 weeks you naild it

I have been doing ballet for 10 years and everyone that hasn’t done it claims that it’s easy because of how effortless we make it look. So thank you for making a video that shows other people a glimpse of how hard it really is and how physically and mentally draining it can be, but also how rewarding.

I agree (I'm a ballerina aswell )

I have been loving ballet for months and after watching this challenge I realized that ballerina is a fully committed responsibility you should hold. Instead, I expressed my love of ballet in a Contemporary form and I feel joy incorporating it with ballet.

I am a dancer and sometimes I forget why I dance I dance to show a story to let go of my feelings and you did that all, you did so good and thank you for reminding me of why I dance.

Imagine how many stories she can tell her kids....

This has a very powerful and realistic message, when we're kids we are told we should grow up to do one thing. But that's not all that we are when we are adults. I'm a professional photographer, an aerial hoop artist, a bass guitar player, a retail store worker, a cook and so much more. More kids should be told that anything is possible because it is 😁

As a ballet dancer myself I am sooo impressed! You have such natural light and ease on the stage and are an absolute joy to watch! Can’t believe you learnt all of that in such a small amount of time as well. You should be so proud of yourself! I really admire how you throw yourself into all of these challenges and do so so well- it really is a testament to your character 💕

You are such a wonderful representative for people who are older trying to pursue ballet and honestly it’s amazing how much progress you made in just 6 weeks

Also putting a block under your foot stretches your split. Just time yourself for one minute and then take the block away.

I’m grateful for you taking the time to dive into a dancers perspective. I’m extremely proud and amazed of how you’ve done all of this in just 6 weeks. You looked amazing, especially your smile. Dancing is about ‘being perfect-ish’ yes, but also really not. You were YOU, in my opinion that is the final touch that makes it magic. Much love for you and what you do❤️

You had a amazing presentations in the end and I especially loved the pas de duex. Honestly, I partnered for a corps de ballet for the first time last week and I was terrified, but seeing how free and gorgeous you were, really inspired me a lot. I know theres a TON of pressure to be perfect on stage, I often get a lot of anxiety every time I'm in the studio because I don't feel good enough compared to the other dancers I work with. Your mentors were so sweet throughout your learning and you all are super talented!! Thanks so much for this inspiring video!

I clapped at your Little Swans and I really got immersed in your partner dance. I've been training ballet for 2.5 years now as as adult. I don't think I could pull off the cygnets and I definitely wouldn't have the confidence to do what you did. Congrats, really impressive 🎉

Dance is extremely humbling, I've not danced in 3 years and I'm just now getting back into it. I've been stretching every day and the pain I've been in is horrible. I hate when dance is seen as a small unprofessional hobby. It's a real thing. Also I love how humble you were, I'm 12 and have been dancing since I was 4 and I've never been on pointe. And your right you don't deserve to be on pointe and you realize that :)

I'm a dancer and have been one since I was 3. Most people who talk about ballet say "it's so easy and it's so boring" but really it's extremely hard and this genre tells a story. I love how she actually showed how hard it is and how much commitment you have to put into the art of dance.

what if your feet have a darker skin tone?

I grew up dancing and teaching dance in my mothers studio until I went to college. I have not danced in almost 40 yrs and I still miss it. It is very difficult and I commend you for sharing the dedication to the technique and art of ballet. You represented yourself and dance very well. Most people could not have accomplished as much within only 6 weeks of training - I taught students who would not have been able to do pas de deux or Coppelia after a full year of training. I danced 4 little swans on pointe only we added a 5th since there were 5 young ladies in our advanced class and it is very difficult choreography. One person off balance makes the whole line off balance so good for you for pulling it off! Kudos to your instructor and partners too!
