Thank you to all of you who posted such lovely comments! I feel so blessed and grateful! Also thank you to my new subscribers! To the few people who wonder why I didn’t show the entire performance. There’s a thing called artistic property. Also, the video hasn’t been released yet. I do not have permission to show the whole thing, but I can show some of the photos taken there. Of course I picked the best ones, I’m not really proud of my mediocre grand jeté. 😅 but I wouldn’t mind showing you that as well. Parts of the rehearsal of the choreography are in this video. The point of this video was not to show you an entire ballet gala, but to inspire all of you lovely dreamers to go after your dreams, no matter what! Whether you doubt yourself or other people doubt you and question everything you do. You just keep going! Much love, Tatyana ♥️

So I shouldn't do both. So I gave up Pointe. Which I didn't want to do. So at 55 I finally danced in a Professional Ballet the Nutcracker in the Party Scene as the Russian Mother. It was the most magical special moments of my life. You're absolutely right!!! Keep dreaming, they do come true. I Loved Your Dancing and You.

I started learning ballet the same age as you. I am 53 now, still doing it. I go to class 6-7 days a week. I have studied jazz and modern techniques for 12 years maybe. I've had the most amazing teachers - the biggest ballet stars in Bulgaria. Been on stage quite a lot, including at the National Opera House in Sofia. I am totally aware I can never be as good as someone who has started early and has been trained professionally. And yes - there was a lot of "negative clatter", as you put it. What I realized is that good technique is not as vitally important for an amazing performance as I had previously thought. It is your heart and soul, your art, that will be appreciated at the end of the day ❤️ Don't stop dancing!

I'm going through a bit of an identity crisis right now- comparing myself to others my age and where they're at in life, not knowing who I want to be or where I want to go and just generally feeling behind in life. It feels like a miracle to have stumbled across this video at this point in time. This was a message I didn't know I needed until I heard it- thank you so much

I started ballet in my 20’s and even made it en pointe. We had several recitals and I even got a character role once with a professional ballet company. You just never know until you try. It was never really my goal to perform but just to be able to dance and look like I knew what I was doing. I accomplished my mission. I’m 38 now also and I still keep my leotards just in case I decide to try it again. 😊

Your dance instructor is a gem. He truly loves his craft & is eager to guide anyone else who wants to learn it. What a blessing to have such a teacher! 🥰

I'm learning to play piano for the first time over the age of 40. With zero previous musical instrument experience.

I really needed this today. I started figure skating almost a year ago, and since I’ve started as an adult with no strength, flexibility, or even dance experience, it’s been really hard especially since I haven’t taken proper lessons and can’t afford a coach. I’ve been teaching myself and learning as I go with videos and asking friends for advice. Sometimes I get discouraged, and it’s hard not to compare myself to the great skaters, but I’ve made a lot of progress this year, and I have to be kind to myself. Because against all odds, I decided to follow my dream. I used to live in an area where there was really only one ice rink around and it was way too expensive even for public skating. Now I’m fortunate enough to live where there are at least five within a thirty minute radius ❤️ Your dancing is beautiful!

I’ve always been so fascinated of ballet and there were never any close ballet classes near me growing up so no one in my city never did ballet only the sports that they offered in school. Now I’m 23 and one of my biggest regrets is not asking my parents to take me to ballet classes. Even though the classes are far I know that my parents would have tried their best to take me. Now that I am older I still have that dream to do ballet but I always feel self conscious about it. By watching your video and other people’s videos who also started late gives me the confidence to just go for it. I know that I’ll never be as great as professional ballerinas but it’s just the idea of doing ballet that makes me happy.

This brought me to tears. I’m about to be 19 but I started dance at 14.. I quit at 17 although it’s been my passion for as long as I could remember. I had multiple dance teachers.. some I’m grateful for but others weren’t supportive at all.. they constantly made it clear to me that I could never be any good because I was already too old.. you looked so beautiful in your performance.

This video is a message that came to me at such a weird time in my life. In august I finished 8+ years of schooling and I’m glad it’s over but truth be told I always had a voice inside me always wishing I had followed a different path. Apart of me always wanted to be a ballerina since I was very little but i wasn’t allowed since it wasn’t law or medical school and now that I’m 28 I figured it was too late for me but thank you for giving me the push and courage I didn’t know I needed to follow my own dreams.

Honestly, what your teacher said and what you've achieved has given me hope that I've not had for around 15 years now. I'm 37 and have a connective tissue syndrome called EDS, no one helped me when my mobility started getting bad and now I'm currently in a wheelchair trying to physio myself back into a better body health. I used to dance when I was a kid and damn I miss it. I feel like if I had a teacher like that waiting for me I would have such motivation to keep going and who knows, maybe I would achieve my dreams too :) the fact you've achieved this performance and become a graceful looking dancer with such expressive arms at our age is amazing, keep feeling that music because you are wonderful.

Deine Geschichte mit dem Ballett ist so schön!! Es hat mich wirklich berürhte!! Auch ich habe erst sehr spät mit 41 Jahren mit dem Ballett begonnen, ich praktiziere diese Kunst seit zwei Jahren. Deine Geschichte inspiriert mich weiter zu machen !! ❤

This is so inspiring!!!I've been fascinated with ballet since a young age but never attended any classes. I'm 29 now and want to start ballet mainly because of the things that you have so wisely mentioned, that is the maturity and self-knowledge you gain. I'm currently having piano lessons which help me avoid comparisons of competence. Art is truly healing.

Such an inspiration! And very encouraging. Keep going Tatyana, show the light! What a beautiful beautiful dancer you are.

Tatyana, I am proud of you! Thank you so much for documenting your journey. Your triumph has inspired me! Your dance instructor is incredibly humble and wise! He is precious.

This made my whole day. I was unable to afford to train in dance as a child and took my first class at age 19. I'm 23 now and have had to teach myself much of modern dance technique and ballet due to living so far away from proper training. I get to go to classes once in a blue moon, but it's not as much as I need. People like you inspire me to not give up on dancing, despite my age and the difficulties of life. One day I hope I'll be able to dance a part on a pro stage too!💖

Thank you for sharing this, you’ve inspired me to do the things I’ve been holding back from doing because I fear I’m old for it now (34) and seeing the comments of others who started ’late’ has really put a fire of inspiration in my spirit.

What a sweetheart of a human he is! 🥹

Love this! I’m not into ballet but i do love dance ~ particularly Latin! Joining a dance class 2 years ago has absolutely changed my life for the better - I may not be the best of the best, but it brings me absolute JOY 🥰💃 not that it matters - but i’d just like to add that I’m 34 and I am in much better shape , feel much more attractive, and enjoy life so much more than I did in my 20’s...☺️ thank you for posting this uplifting and inspiring content ! ❤️💕🤗

Female friendship is such a sweet thing in life, this reminds me of that. Thank you

Amazing! This truly touched my heart. It's never too late! Thank you for sharing this❤

Thank you for this video! I t has really helped me with my motivation. I preformed when I was 6-9 with a group twice my age because I was too advanced for the little kids classes. Recently I started ballet again after 10 years away with the dream to preform in the nutcracker, I'm only able to do one class a week because the studio does not offer a class for my age group more then twice a week and the second one is full, so I spend and hour every day working by myself at home. My instructor was blown away by my progress and skill within a month and refused to believe I hadn't danced in 10 years. I am so happy that this year I will be the first person ever from my studio to preform as Clara, not en pointe. Dreams truly can come true if you put in the dedication and work. Now the goal is to preform sugar plum once I am en pointe.

So inspiring! 👏🏻 love your ballet teacher’s comment about enjoying your success! Thank you for this motivational content

Thank you! Yes, Sandor is fantastic! 🤭

This is so inspirational !! Thank you! I started ballet at 28 and danced for 10 years…and took a 3 year break due to new job and kids. I’ve been working to get back at almost 42 years old. I miss it so much. Thanks so much for the extra motivation! Xoxo

Thank you for this! I am 34 and only began my ballet journey one year ago. This has given me hope and inspiration. You are amazing.

Tatiana, THANK YOU SO MUCH for such an inspiring and motivating video! I’m an amateur baller dancer myself, started in summer 2021 and I’m in love with the ballet just like you. I’m 23, from St.Petersburg and you know since it’s a kinda Russian ballet capital here are plenty of opportunities for taking ballet classes from best teachers! PLEASE, make more videos like that, if really keen on watching as I dream myself or dancing in stage one day! And you’re just awesome, please keep going!

Good luck with your ballet journey. Russian ballet is amazing!! ♥️

THIS WAS SO INSPIRING!! I started playing violin at 30 (I'm 32 now) and have felt like I started waaaay too late. I haven't really let myself dream that I could make something of this or perform one day (for fear of being disappointed), but you've encouraged me to dream big and to keep working hard ❤️ Thank you so much and good luck with ballet!

LOVE this woman's attitude. So wonderful to hear about a dream of someone who is not a perfect mega star. ❤️

Thank you for this video! When younger I used to dance but never ballet, it was always a dream of mine for as long as I can remember but there was no opportunity in the area I lived. Found a class a couple of years ago and loved it but fell from it when moving. Got recommended this video yesterday and it gave me courage/inspiration so today I signed up for a ballet class this spring! I’m looking forward to it so much and can’t wait to stand by the barre. I applaud you for following this dream of yours, it encouraged me to follow one of mine.

What a way to inspire 2023!!!!!

I wasn’t allowed to take ballet when I was a child. I have always been mesmerized by ballet my whole life, starting right after I saw a dancer practicing on her own in a studio once when I was 6 or 7. So as an adult in my late 20’s I enrolled in a school; took class 5x a week and performed in many performances. It was a dream come true and I still have so many happy memories. Sadly, I now live in a place with no ballet at all. 😢

You are a professional, anyone can see, you are talented but most importantly you are a good and a bright person. Thanks for the video!! Ballet is a beautiful art.

Congratulations! You looked amazing! This was so inspiring and much needed! I recently turned 30 and have been feeling like I'm too old get back into theater/acting the way I've always wanted to. This definitely motivates me!

What a wonderful inspiration you are!! I have always loved ballet and took some classes in my 20s. When I retired from teaching a few years ago, I decided to take an adult ballet class. I'm still taking it at 63 years old and love it!!

It's just incredible what the human body can do if the mind and heart are put into it!

Wow! I see this is one year old but I’m just now seeing it here on 2024. I’m soo glad this came up in my feed! It’s EXACTLY what I needed today! So beautiful and inspiring! Ty so much for sharing! ❤❤❤❤

What a beautiful message. Thank you.

Your teacher is so sweet!! Thank you for posting this, is a big inspiration for dancers who started later

Love - you excelled at this because it’s in your blood/soul to dance. You can see those with natural talent/ability.

I needed this video and these comments 💜 it’s such a great reminder for me that it’s never too late to start anything in life
