I went to school with a ballerina (well, a few) but one stood out the most. She was incredibly beautiful in every single way. Had the most perfect hair and facial features of a model. She also has a heart of gold and was kind to everyone. I remember her giving me advice about my first relationship at the time and really lifting me up when my boyfriend was bringing me down. Sadly we lost touch over the years, but I hear she's a ballet teacher now, which is amazing. Her students are so lucky ❤ She really is one in a million. Not many people shine the way she does.
Sounds like one of my favourite teachers growing up :) I used to do ballet when I was younger and my teacher looked like something out of a fairytale book - tall, blonde, slim and big blue eyes. She was also so kind and patient. I only remember her losing her temper a couple of times in the 10 years we had her as a teacher. I haven't seen her in a long time but have no doubt she's giving other students joy :)
You're a heart of gold youself btw, people do not necessarily love such people (because of envy of coarse) though they deserve love and need it. You're great to have such a kind heart! ❤
It’s okay! Ballet is extremely hard. You watch professionals do it and you think it looks easy but ballet is a thing the saying “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” definitely applies too. I’ve been in ballet for longer then I can remember and I still struggle with things like flexibility. So really it depends on things you have to work on. I understand you’re reasoning for not wanting to though.
@@rileymriley4812 that’s a way to break someone’s confidence in starting ballet. You do realise this person has been influenced by this video and that is totally ok, they just have to get more research.
I've been watching these videos for a bit now and the thing that always sticks out for me is not just the incredible standard of the dancing but the joy and humour the girls and their teacher exude. It always draws a contrast in my mind with David Kinsella's A Beautiful Tragedy where the dancers have anxious, pinched faces and some of them openly crying in class while their teacher belittles and berates them. MBA clearly proves that this absolutely does not have to happen in order to produce the most extraordinary dancers.
Thank you for recording the younger dancers- and also their TRAINING! Loved that! I also love seeing the other dancers that we don’t usually get to see… the girls in the older class. What is the hot, foreign, teacher- dad’s name ??? I want to see him dance and I want to see him train the students! Thanks so much, Eva! ! Loving it!❤❤❤
@@austinzhang1754 Thank you for replying! He is regularly shown in blips and occasionally, you can hear his voice shouting out a correction or two, but he is never shown teaching. She’s never done a spotlight on him. She’s never helped us get to know him. I’d love to see him dance too. So yes! I’d like to see more of this amazing dancer and instructor!
Дети во всём мире одинаково хорошие. Моя дочь артист балета и я видела всё эти репетиции и экзамены, и делала макияж девочкам и причёски. Как это мило, но сколько труда у этих девочек. Всем Вам успехов, балерины!!!
I think it's safe to say it's every girls dream to be a ballerina when we were younger....then the 5' 2" reality settled in for me. 😂 I could literally watch them all day. Beautiful thank you! 👌
@@maouimaisnon2535 I'm not one to burst anyone's dreams...but typically "most," professional ballerinas are very tall. Things have changed slightly from company to company nowadays, but for the most part I've never seen a professional ballerina that was under 5' 7" Not at any ballets I've attended over the years anyways.
I have been doing ballet for over 10 years and started when I was 8. The school I dance at is far from professional and the lessons are more for fun, so I don’t dance at a high level or anything. We hardly ever dance on pointe or stretch in class. So I cannot lift my legs any higher than 90 degrees, I can not dance on point and I can’t even do a dubble pirouette (maybe on a good day lol). Don’t get me wrong, I dance because I love it and I’ve always enjoyed the lessons, but seeing this makes me wonder how much better my dancing could have been if I had different training. These dancers are incredible and I hope to dance like them one day❤
My dance classes (started when I was 4 years old) were not "Russian Ballerina" strict, but it sure wasn't lax either! We all wore the exact same outfits. We were expected to be in our leotard, tights, and shoes at least 1/2 an hour prior to the start of class. Then the rest of that half hour was for stretching on your own. The 1st hour of class was all Barre work. The last half hour was floor work. We were taught classical ballet. [It's pronounced "pa de sha" NOT "po de chat"!!] She carried a little stick that she would use to tap different parts of our body that we were not holding correctly. I danced with the same teacher from 4 years old until I was 16 years old. When I was 19, I joined a small group that danced modern ballet. As much as I had the desire to be a Prima Ballerina, my body is much better suited to modern ballet. I continued to dance modern ballet through my early 40s when I was forced to stop all dance due to a nerve problem. I was NEVER a GOOD dancer, but I LOVED dancing! No matter how you've been trained, nor if you attend a professional school or just a small dance class, you just dance if that is what you enjoy! Your enjoyment will shine through, and others will share your joy when you dance!
I just wanted to let you know at 38 years old, I found your page recently and am now teaching myself ballet online, have ballet shoes out for delivery right now, and have a portable barre coming in 3 days. I also have tickets for The Nutcracker next month 😊. Keep it up! I love your work with both photography and dance!
@@xXOtakuHeartsXx thank you so much! I'm still going, almost everyday. I'm only on class 4 because I repeat them until I'm comfortable. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement 😊💗
@@ambercraighead3904 You're welcome :) I'm in the same situation as you, doing what I can until I get into a class. If I may ask, where do you take your classes online? I wouldn't mind joining/having something to follow along with, too. :D
@@xXOtakuHeartsXx I am following the Absolute Beginner Ballet series on a youtube page called Ballet Misfit. Her name is Twan (?). I absolutely love it!
@@ambercraighead3904 Thank you so much! I'm gonna check her out ❤️ And again, good luck and I hope to see you perform on stage one day uwu ❤️!! Keep up the good work!!
Cried my whole life after the accident I had that restricted me on not dancing anymore. Today, looking at the ballerinas, I am happy. How much suffering and work for such a short period! Not everyone is Margot Fontaine!
I am so sorry you were forced to stop dancing. I was also forced to stop, but that was in my early 40s. I learned that if I keep my movements small and easy (even just sitting in a chair), moving to music, I can still "dance", but I definitely can no longer perform. Just being able to move to the music warms my heart.
I used to be a ballerina, and I missed it so much. I’ve been doing it for about 9 years but had to give it up. I notice how my grades were dropping and that wasn’t okay. I quit dancing after a while to focus on my studies. Now I stand at the top ten in my school and graduating as the president of the student council, past vice president of the student council. Student of the month, and much more. In a math club who participated in a competition and won 1st place and much more. I miss dancing, maybe in the future when I know I can balance both dance and school together I’ll start over.
I wish I could be a ballerina but I'm already past my 30s and I'm also quite tall... I can only watch how graceful and beautiful these ladies are and sigh in envy 🥲❤️ beautiful work
How very beautiful to watch. Such darling gifted, happy people. They make it look so effortless. Such grace. And just an observation, their practice costumes are so nice. No bums or wedgies. Absolutely beautiful.
Questo mestiere richiede un lavoro immane. Auguro a tutte le ragazze la realizzazione nel balletto il piu presto possibile. Perché esso porta via anche tanta salute. ❤
i did ballet when i was little, it's been my dream since i was little to go on pointe and perform as a swan . i still havent, but for my birthday im going to ask my mom! im so excited for getting into lessons.
I would love to be a ballerina, but I am scared because I might be judged by others for not doing moved very good, like for example I fail to do a pirouette and I get judged by others for it
The school I went to didn't offer ballet (or any dance program for that matter), so all dance was extra-curricular. There was a mass shortage of male dancers. One of the teachers put an ad in the college paper reading, "Learn How to Pickup Women"! He got a lot of fellows showing up. Some actually stayed even after they realized that the ad was serious! That teacher taught partnering!
I always get sad when I see these videos because I used to dance and it was always my dream to perform on stage. I just always loved how people admire you while you’re on stage because I used to be a very very self conscious kid. Whenever I’m on stage I feel so confident. After I moved houses, I stopped dancing because I was too busy. I regret so much and I sometimes cry when I see these videos and think “that could’ve been me.” My younger self would hate me so much but now.😐
So, so grateful Mom (yes mom made me) study ballet seriously. Demanding and physically painful sometimes (if u don't practice every day -u hurt), but ladies I got a great WALK. With heels 👠 at 70 yrs old. Posture is straight, can still touch toes and pick up heavy loads. ALL is bc I keep up with ballet exercises. And most importantly, ballet makes u feel FREE ❤
Der Spaß macht den Unterschied. Kein traditioneller Drill, sondern Teamgeist, sich unterstützen, humorvoller Umgang, keine Konkurrenz, Leichtigkeit, Freude am Tun. Dann Transfer zur Stage and Soundmachine. Great Qualität
Просмотрела видео... задания девочам неравноценны...тем не менее выполняются задачки с лёгкостью и оптимизмом!!! Главное, все молоды и настроенны на лучшее!!! Прекрасные хореографы! Атмосфера творчества и оптимизма!!! Ну аж "терпение и труд всё перетрут"- русская пословица...Так и будет😊
This does make me a bit sad. I always wished I could be a dancer, but I had a really bad experience with my first ballet teacher and I let her stop me from continuing. *sigh* Too old for it now, but if anyone young enough reads this, don't let shitty people keep you from doing something you love. They move on and you get to live with the regret.
The same happened to me. Started dancing at 5, quit at 13 because the environment was so toxic. It was awful, both teachers and students. The blatant favouritism and the bratty attitudes. I wasn’t tall or skinny or the best dancer, so therefore not worth their time. It’s a shame because I really loved the dancing. The outfits made me feel so pretty :(
I am most definitely already a ballerina and all I see behind these isn't only the beauty but also the incredible pain and trauma it took to get there..💀😭
I do ballet and im grade 7!I have pointe shoes already but for anyone that wants to do ballet,I do NOT recommend it although it can be very fun it can also be super hard and painful plus you’ll need to train almost 6hours a day if your going for an exam or competition
I think I’m going to start contemporary dance first and then ballet bc right now I don’t have the right body for doing ballet😢 Do you think I'm too old to start all these kinds of dances?😢
@@ArmySoul-le7jo I started last year, I joined a company for my school and we do all sorts of dances. Between you and me, contemporary is one of the most fun because you have a lot of freedom in your movements, unlike the strict rules of ballet.
Loved all but the girl who was cracking everyone's back because she can actually cause damage to the vertebrae, spinal cord and the nerves because she hasn't been trained to be a chiropractor and even chiropractors can cause damage if they do something wrong. It's easy to damage the nerves that stick out from both sides of the spine. I am I credibly lucky that I am not paralyzed from my neck down because of the damage done by the chiropractor I went to for relief from my chronic back pain because my former doctor couldn't have cared less about what I was dealing with because he didn't believe me. I had to force him to order an MRI which showed that I had multiple spinal cord injuries and severe nerve damage. I was literally1 wrong move away from death or becoming a quadriplegic on a respirator for the rest of my life. My Neurosurgeon told us this after my first surgery.
@@jiviekartinki It’s going good, I practice nearly every day. My dance teacher is very impressed with how much I’ve improved. My feet an ankles have gotten noticeably stronger and more flexible.😁
I sincerely wish I weren’t old with back problems. I always wanted to learn ballet but was out in gymnastics really young and just kept doing it. Now I regret that…..
I used to dance ballet when I was 9 or 10 years old. I stopped bc my mom couldn’t afford classes. I’m 21 years old now and I am REALLY wanting to do ballet again before i go back to school in the spring😭 I was even in the nutcracker play as a kid as the jester. But part of me wants to do gymnastics or tumbling because I don’t wanna ruin my feet bc of being in those pointe shoes😭😂
