things ONLY dancers will understand... 

Im a dancer and I think telling people that they have nice feet is always weird to hear if you're not a dancer lol, but if you are you know its such a big compliment. you are such a good dancer mackenzie! 💗

I think another relatable dancer thing is having damaged hair but you don’t want to cut it because you need the perfect length for your bun!

The not being able to move one is so relatable, I say as I am curled up on my bed after three hours of dance directly after school.

Just had to pause and say the not being able to move section was brilliant and I almost died laughing. I have definitely laid curled up on the bathroom floor staring into space after class before 🤣

Stretching everywhere! yes! I'm 28. quit dancing at 19 because of health issues. My husband and I met when I was 14, been dating since, been married for 4 years. in 14 years, he still has not gotten used to me stretching everywhere, and I still do it 9 years after "retiring." He walks into the room and I'm sitting on the couch scrolling Instagram wrapped up in a stretch pretzel or waving a leg in the air. Every time he looks at me like I've lost my mind. 🤣 it's still so comfy

Something I found that me and another dancer do are sit on your bed/couch in wierd positions to get comfortable

Snapping at each other or being snapped at in class is the best thing ever. It is sometimes accompanied by "Yassssss!" Love the support so much.

This was 100% relatable, also doing random ballet moves while talking to someone and doing stretching when your classmates see you and they just have those faces...you know what I mean👀

I loved this video, it is so relatable. Other weird things I can add but at traffic lights I always want to (but never have) perform a develope and push down into a split to press the button. Also battments/ developes devant to open doors (I’ve been caught doing that before) performing a grande jete or saut de chat in hallways. Performing full out variations in the kitchen and leaping through fields and then someone catching you so you have to awkwardly pretend your jogging I could honestly say more but this comment would be way too long.

At school sometimes I hide behind a bookshelf or desk and go into my widest straddle split, it's the literal only position that makes my sore knees and ankles feel better

Honestly, I've been snapping for ages longer than I've been taking ballet/dance. It's from the jazz/poetry community because snapping is quieter than clapping. I kind of love doing it secretly because it's like a more passive form of clapping and I can do it with one hand. The clip of you stretching in the bathroom was so funny.. and also just zoom in on the jet glue.. and also the not being able to move. Why was this so funny?

OKay: everything made sense to me as "normal" (apparently I'm a crazy dancer - or was once long ago...), until I got to the "can't move after a full day of dance (fetal on on the floor with dread/depressed music - utterly brilliant!!!), and I legit laughed out loud for that whole thing!!! Thank you Kenzie!!!! I and my students LOVE you!!!

i’m a dancer and i can relate so much lol

i loved this video! so relatable!! one that really got me was stretching literally everywhere; i do this soooo much. Actually this morning at school a small club i'm in was meeting in the gym and we were all sitting on the floor. now, my hips are always tight and i'm always trying to get a deeper stretch, so i just inadvertently slid into a full split, totally cold, and the girl next to me just looked at me like i was insane...

Omg everytime I pick something up I literally do an arabesque just to pick it up everytime. Oh and to add to your leotard bit, I was in class one day and I was wearing a new red leotard and it was more stretchy than my regular leotards and my girls just kept bouncing the whole class and it completely threw me off.......so yea that was fun

At 4:04 I literally thought that was Hurricane for Hamilton.✨ Also another relatable things is when you find Bobby pins everywhere

Omg yess I especially relate to the cracking one! Today I got fitted for my first pair of point shoes and every time I had to plie my ankles and legs would pop! 😂

I can relate to the ankle cracks and a dancer in school as well it gets so annoying.

Another amazing video!! I found the leotard, stretching things, and not moving after dance especially relatable 😂

Omg i have been like stalking her yt, WAITING DESPERATELY for her to post😝

i remember i was in this ballet and we all had to learn our parts in a week and one day was 10 hours nonstop and the next day i had to go back and look like a literal old woman with athletic abilities 😍

the fist clapping when you’re marking a turn lol 🤜✋

LOVE the thumbnail!!! It's so true!!!!

Yes these were sooooooo relatable the stretching everywhere yes I have the urge to do the splits and put my nose on the ground. And feeling the floor in my Pointe shoes yes not moving after 2 hours of dancing twice a week😝

I'm a dancer as well, and when I tell people that I like stretching, they always look at me weird!

I’m not a dancer but a cheerleader so when people ask questions I just say, “I just started and I don’t even have a split or back walkover.” No more questions lol-

Me today in the mirror: "Alright idk let's try to do a tilted attitude because I want my tilt" And my hips popped so nicely that I tried a tilt later when I stretched (It was my first time and wasn't really bad) Really? Sweat can be hairspray? I have always my baby hair messing around mi head and the dance room is so wet I sweat for an hour and a half straight... I will try this

The stretching all the time is soooo relatable. I stretch whenever I get the chance to (even while watching this video) and when I do it in school my friends are just like ‘’What are you doing’’ so ya I definitely relate

Not a dancer but can totally relate to the gadgets. I play roller derby and do pilates and I have everything you used. Love it!

I love this kind of videos 😂 Although I'm not a dancer I can relate to some points as a runner

Why was I literally sitting in a split stretch when you mentioned stretching everywhere? 🤣🤣🤣

Yaaasssss! So accurate! And you are such a beautiful dancer! Love your videos! 😍

THE SNAPPING IS SO RELATABLE

Not being able to move after a day of dance 😂 or for me DOMS 🤣 Second day is THE WORST! Great video!

Omg the not being able to move is SO relatable i’ve been at a comp all weekend and i’m dying on my couch

I got my ballet shoes 🩰

Maybe it’s just me but balancing on one foot in posse while staring in the fridge wondering what to eat.

i wish it was today queen 👑❤️❤️❤️

You literally made me interested in dance

I definitely related to the ankle cracking part! My ankles crack all the time haha!

“Stretching literally everywhere” Oh no…. that’s me😅

Stretching everywhere 😂 Me literally stretching as I’m watching this

I always do my best pointe work and half way through I roll my ankles or in an exercise and just doing a different dance from a different class thinking its that one

I do random pirouettes everywhere 😂 The stretching everywhere is literally me, and the leotard thing is me but for gymnastics, cos i have 1 ballet leo xD also can someone explain jet glue to me i've only been dancing for like a year now

the last scene after full dance your sitting pose was funny and your dance story gave me lots of tips

omg these are all so relatable tho. LOVE you and ur vids Mackenzie!!!

those random soccer boys in my class be like "so what u just stand and swing your leggs around on classical music?" :/ Anyways you are SOOOO GOODDDDDDD

This is so true! I am in training at the moment and I can relate to everything! :)

Even if i haven't been dancing anymore, (dance classes) i still tend to focus on stretching and reaching things on the floor. (show dance) Or remembering the choreographies when that special song playing. I still count myself as a dancer

Wow I'm so happy ur back !!

At my studio we clap instead of snapping. It makes us feel like there's a full audience.

I relate to these even tho I’m a gymnast. I did ballet when i was 4 too

I really felt the second to last one. Literally. I've felt it so. many. times.

Hey, I’m 13 and I have never done any becket exams, and I have done ballet since I was 5 and have been on and off with it. I’m starting at a new dance school is a couple of weeks, and I was wondering if I can still get to point? Or because I haven’t done any exams can I not get my point shoes soon?

Coming home from school to watch this is great 😊

The lying on the floor after a full day of dance was SO FUNNY

Dancer here and I will literally have whatever song I am currently working on a dance to at that time on repeat in my car and will mark it while driving 🤣

what was the fast piano music you used? I play the sheet music for that but the copy i got doesn't have a title or composer so i never knew. would love to know!!

I totally relate with cracking the ankles as a former dancer and gymnast.

I'm so excited I love her I'm excited To see if these are relatable I have been dancing for 9 years And I just recently got on a point so I shall see if these are relatable her videos that I watch like like Types of dancers are pretty relatable cause they're a lot of people in my class

Broooooo! This is so relatable! I danced 6 hours straight yesterday(I’m not joking I got 1 bite of my sandwich) after not dancing for like 2 years and I actually can’t move! I’m doing a show for 4th of July and we have to do sharp and clean that it HURTS. I learned Half a dance in 1 hour and I have the learn 3 whole dances in 1 month. but anyway I LOVE YOUR VIDSS! (I’m a new sub)

Ahhh I don't even dance ballet, but your vids are so entertaining! I do dance a lot, so I understand a lot of this 🤣 but not ballet for me!

This was everything❤ So many YUPS in this video 😂😂😂 when you feel crazy around normal people and then you watch this video and it’s like a breath of fresh air 😮‍💨 thanks for putting a smile on my face while I crack my ankles 😂 Also I’m pretty sure we all throw in some form of a releve balance when in the kitchen 😂😅 and we also ask if anyone has any toe donuts after the new skin question🙋🏽‍♀️

2:05 literally all my joints after class

Also I’m a dancer and people ALWAYS tell me “wow you have such strong legs” or they get confused when I practice my dance anywhere I go😭

It was so funny , can relate 😂❤️ !

My teacher hated people who snapped. He would say "your either gonna do the full thing and clap or Don't bother doing anything at all". My teacher was really strict and had the oddest rules. He was a soloist with SF ballet.

Its always really annoying when Ill just me sitting in class and my back gets tired from being hunched and i have to go into a full on back bend just to get a mild stretch. and then everyone is like "what the-"

Sometimes ill just be chillin and then i start to randomly point my toes! that sometimes even happens when i dont realise lol

Using the stretching bands, foot roller balls, rolling cushion, and other accouterments for self care. My roommates would find it in our apartment or house and ask me what that stuff was, I had to explain.

Serenade! How amazing. I saw the Suzanne Farrell Company in its final performance, and I can still see, and feel, their performance of Serenade. I don’t mean to be all woo-woo heavy, but: if it fits, keep in back of mind that you may be changing someone’s life.

I have never related to something more than this!!😂

At school prepping shoes: “does anyone have a lighter?” For ribbons

This was so funny and relatable! Mackenzie is a beautiful dancer and I could never be even close to her skill level. Thanks for your amazing content!

Hi Mackenzie, hope you're doing well! Absolutely loved the video, found it sooooo relatable❤🩰 Thankfully have not experienced dead shoes yet (still in my first pair of pointes😂) or jet glue, but everything else... Something I do, is releve wherever, and it's killing my school shoes! Can you do a video on all your dance gadgets? That would be really interesting to watch🥰

The dancing part when you felt you ran a mile lol 😂 yes I feel that my teacher is like “ the exercise is only less than a minute how are you tired in 40 seconds?” Like I just did 20 sautés in a row course I’m tired

I'm a ballerina dancer like you!!!💕

Casually Walking and Standing Turned out 😂

I just randomly found her channel in my recommendation now i'm obsessed with her videos she's so freaking talented.♥️🍡💗💕🍨🎂🥰💖🍧🍭💘🥳🎡💖🎉✨🎂💞🎠🎠🧁🥰♥️🫂😍.🍓❤️😍🤭💗🎉

practicing dances. everywhere.

Marking dances with your hands and people thinking you have a twitch😂

I'm not even in dance yet but I can relate to so much bc of my friends lol

OMG im from GR too!!!

I would really like to know where your skirt is from. It’s so pretty! ☺️

the cracking lmao

you are such an amazing dancer!!!

I am always standing in like 1st or 3rd position or I randomly grab hold of a waist length surface a do a bar routines mid-convo

What was that stretch thingy that was attached to your back and foot

I dance five times a week when I don’t have dance I’m always so exited because I’m already really tired. However my friends and family are like, “do you not like dance ur always so happy to have it off” of course I love it I’m just tired 🥱

The stretching one got me--

the leotard one is so good

Lmao 3:27 I’m the one that has it all. I keep literally all my old shoes in my bag just in case someone needs it. I went to a convention and kept a whole ass outfit (crop and leggings) in case someone had a problem with theirs and needed to use it. All this while also having all my shoes and my hip hop clothes in the same bag… it’s a normal backpack.

The cracking is meee I LITERALLY crack every bone in my feet💀

Not me actually stretching my feet as the stretching everywhere portion came on haha

Those random hard pops 😂

and your leotard being a whole new shade of color after a long class 😌✨💅

Omg I'm so excited I wish it was today 😢 sad

THE LEOTARD ONE IS SO TRUE-

I’ve been dancing in dead shoes for a week bc I can’t afford new ones 💀

I’m a dancer and I have actually had a couple dance competitions last year when I had to miss school cause they usually want us there 2hours before we go on stage.. One time they made us come at 5:00 in the morning and then we didn’t end up performing till 1:00
