I love how sweet you are to your younger self!!! It’s so refreshing. Everyone is usually so hard on themselves when they watch old videos but here you are cheering yourself on. Love it 💚
I don't know if you remember but I commented that I had an audition at Carolina Ballet, and I got in! Your videos have definitely helped me with my technique.
@@cutiekika :( just start basic to lift your vibration...be grateful for even the silliest things like having a hot cup of coffee in the morning or something. start there. right down your thoughts. you'll see yourself grow before your eyes. just a couple little things that might help.
Omg Claudia I love you. I’m a 14 year old ballerina, and I have always wanted to be a professional ballerina. Your videos have helped me gain confidence. I’m a perfectionist and have always been really hard on myself, but after watching some of your videos it helps me feel better. Watching your videos has also gradually helped me be less hard on myself, and realize every dancer makes mistakes and needs improvement in some part of their dancing.
It’s refreshing to see someone react to old performances and feeling confident enough to compliment themself. It gets old seeing people going “omg I was SO BAD” when they were very clearly a solid 9.5/10 😂
I never even thought to compete when I was younger. I was the student no one wanted to promote, except for two teachers, one of whom was an actual professional ballet dancer. I should have just gone out and done it no matter what anyone said. I couldn't get pointe shoes until I was 15 even though I started dancing at 3. I wasn't able to take class full-time due to school and other activities. You have always been exceptional. I loved seeing your old solos.
I like watching these like the way I watch football: watching Dad watching football is so much better than watching the game itself, so watching you watch and react is better this just watching your solos!
Would love to see some safe leg hypertension exercises! I feel like my legs never quite look straight as I would like even when they are... And OMG yes Bayadere Shades 3 Variation so hard, thank God I am a lefty!
Hi Claudia you’re an inspiration I’m eleven years old and I would really love a video of u explaining your journey to the royal ballet, as it is my dream to go but i know before I go and audition I will need to get my name out there more. How did you do that and do I need to go full time at my studio before I audition? Also if my studio doesn’t do RAD does that lower my chance of getting into a ballet school when I’m older? I understand you may not be able to answer your question as I am just one person but if you can it would help me out in so many ways! Thanks xx
Everytime i watch these videos as a non dancer i always think that doesn’t look all that tiring especially when you did the one about rite of spring and that is honestly a true testament to how difficult Ballet is an how good of a dancer you are! Its supposed to look like us lay people could do it if we tried😂 glad quarantine has brought me to this channel i’ve got to find an adult ballet class man😅
This is the first time someone has said I’m a dancer and I feel so honored. I am everything BUT a dancer, so I feel loved 😄 Mad respect to everyone who does ballet. I appreciate you all and how hard you work to make it look effortless.
i remember doing third shade during my summer intensive and i'd never done it before so by the end of the variations class i was wheezing on the floor and my muscles were jelly
You hit the nail on the head, Claudia, "a lot of potential but need for refinement." I can see why the Royal Ballet School accepted you. As, I have mentioned before in response to one of your videos, you have an admirable quality of putting yourself out there as is. That takes courage and builds tons of respect!
I like the choreography on the Unicorn, the floor extensions. You were so confident and a winner for the first variation. Your expression and turns are amazing, your technique pristine. I like Blue bird variation so much, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful work Miss Claudia from a young age you were truly amazing!!♡Loved your Shade solo but that's the 3rd shade not 1st either ways that's what I'm supposed to work on arabesque turns awesome job!!☆
I haven't danced for 30 years .. am 51 now....but I love your videos...they are so entertaining....not related to dance but whose doing your nails now? I love your nails! Hope you can still get them done some how...😇...I soaked mine off before the pandemic hit...can't wait to get a nail appointment...🥰
Hi,I just want to say that I'm doing ballet now ( lol I can't spell today ) your unicorn custom did not look like a unicorn lol bye your videos have really helped me.
You are such a beautiful dancer! I do have a question and I did email you too about it.... Hi Claudia, I don't know if you remember me but my name is Leia. I watch your videos everyday even if I watched a video already! They are super helpful. One thing I do need work on is my ballet leaps. I did watch all your leaping tutorials but the problem I have with my leaps is that I can't get them to 180 degrees in the air. Although I do have about a 3 inch over split on each side, my legs don't want to get up to 180 degrees. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you so much Claudia and keep on making videos because they are truly amazing- and so are you! Have a nice day! -Leia
So hold up...if you were 13 in 2007 you were born in 94 and that’s means you and I are sooooo close in age?! I feel like you are way more knowledgeable and mature 😭 that’s bomb you’re bomb ok bye
Your last two solos were AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! I just found your channel and I'm so happy I did. I danced from 2yrs till I was 17 and became a teen mom. Not that I regret my now 11 year old I just wonder what would have happened or where I'd be if I didn't become a teen mom.
I would love to see you recreate these solos
but we need the costume😂💁🏼♀️
Yess
That would be cool, but a loooooot of work!!
Me toooooooo
I love how sweet you are to your younger self!!! It’s so refreshing. Everyone is usually so hard on themselves when they watch old videos but here you are cheering yourself on. Love it 💚
The second solo was INTENSE!!!! LOVE IT
THAT IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO EVER!!!! Claudia, you are hilarious
Lilja Jeanne YAYYYYYYYYYY

I just love your blog you are such a charismatic and positive person! Makes my day!🌞♥️
That unicorn solo is very me lol
I've had a left leg cramp during 1st Shade, it was dress rehearsal and I panicked and switched legs and reversed the whole choreo.
I now when ever I make a bun I look so bald (let me now if it happens to you)
I don't know if you remember but I commented that I had an audition at Carolina Ballet, and I got in! Your videos have definitely helped me with my technique.
Mikayla Grimes OMG!! This made my day WELL DONE!! Love you 😘😘😘
That's great! Good job!💖💖
congrats 🍾 hope it works out ❤️
I might see you at one point! I live nearby, and I go to the same studio that Sarah Roe trained at if you ever talk to her
Claudia:good balance there Claudia
Me: I will not be saying that to myself when I'm older.🤣🤣🤣
Ref M’s universe 😂😂😂😂

I'm suffering from a knee injury at the minute and not able to dance. Any tips for coming to dance with an injury?

What’s the best point shoes you have got of amazing as mine are dead and I can’t get knew one to practice because of lockdown???
I really wanted a leotard but my parents said it was too much:(
Stephany Lopez there are cheeper ones on amazon. I got one for about 15 dollars and its held up well for me😁
Ava Reeme me as well! The major of my leotards are from amazon about 15-20 dollars! 😄
I like the choreography on the Unicorn, the floor extensions. You were so confident and a winner for the first variation. Your expression and turns are amazing, your technique pristine. I like Blue bird variation so much, thank you for sharing.
Your dancing in the unicorn one was amazing I just couldn’t stop laughing because of the costume!😂
My entire body hurts after watching those 😂😂 I really enjoyed that!!
Beautiful work Miss Claudia from a young age you were truly amazing!!♡Loved your Shade solo but that's the 3rd shade not 1st either ways that's what I'm supposed to work on arabesque turns awesome job!!☆

Hi Claudia can you do a video about trying acro. Thank you, your amazing
My name is Imaan and the unicorn was so funny and you were funny and the clothes looked funny
😊😗😘☺😙😚
Watching you reacting to yourself was honestly the best thing ever! We all need to be our own hype girl!

Great video!🎉
That second solo was actually amazing, considering how young you were. Well done! 👏💜
My 4 year olds were unicorns for their recital last year! It was a little purple white tutu sequin dress with a unicorn headband, so precious
The one we’re you have to have a lot of control
Love these old solo's you did. Your so amazing Claudia!!!
Can somebody PLEASE tell me where she got the intro music from?
yaaa hot pink Emboîté queen
This is like super random but she should try Irish dance
omg yes the 1st shade variation... my leg would dieee
When your in a company sometimes you wind up wearing “unicorn” costumes but it’s all part of paying your dues. Or so I’ve read and heard. Lol
Her taking about all the the ballet forms she did
Me being a kpop and hip hop dancer: 👁️👄👁️
La Bayadere is such a great ballet. Thank you for the videos, Claudia.
So hold up...if you were 13 in 2007 you were born in 94 and that’s means you and I are sooooo close in age?! I feel like you are way more knowledgeable and mature 😭 that’s bomb you’re bomb ok bye
Agree to comment above that it would be interesting to see you perform those pieces now. Even though young, very nice. Thanks.
Holy Smokes ! The moves ! You're the Bruce Lee of the Ballet world !
I did the the same variation but I think it's third shade not first... But yeah I agree it's hard👌🏻🙂.
Can u give some hyper extension exercises I neeeeeeed them
Pls
OMG BLUE BIRD?!?! Im praticing blue bird :D
I have been waiting for this video!!!! You are my inspiration!
Uuuuh the more I watch your videos the more I just wish you were my teacher growing up, you're so encouraging
I know someone in the ballet academy that I go to and she danced Blue Bird, she was amazing I am totally sending that part of the video to her.
Yes OMG I did that 1st shade solo and it is soooo hard!
I’m doing the 1st shade right now and mine is so much slower than your speed ugh I wanted a faster speed 😭
You should recreate your favorite solo and your hardest solo
Does anyone know what the second solo (the one with the pink/red tutu) is called? 🩰
The unicorn coustume though....like the guts to wear that!
Please reinact the unicorn dance!!!!!!🦄🦄🦄🦄
if you were doing that solo at 14-15 then i look like im doing baby ballet! lol
Please do more of these! I love it!
I did 1st shade on flat and pointe. it was sooooooooooooooooooo hard. In my opinion it was harder in flat. I am a lefty and it was hard
What age did you start ballet? You were really good at 13-15!
Oh shade variation ❤️yes it is so hard it all fondues but it is very pretty at the end
i would love you to react to our solos one day! Maybe even give some tips to become better?
Your voice is so funny 😂 I love it
I love your channel!
😍💞
Omg you were so strong but skinner legs! How!?
lilac fairy is sooooooo tiring you made it look so easy !!!!
did u go white lodge or covent garden bc i am going to white lodge
Next time can you show all your tutu!!!
I think the tail looked cool as it looked real. It had a real hair look to it.
Why there wasn't horse mask these days
Being in one of your videos is a dream of mine.
WOW!! You were incredible at 13!!! I wish!! The unicorn costume was SO FUNNY!
Yeah you should recreate them !
Are u in Queensland if u are me to!!!
You are a very great ballet dancer
Literally my fav RUclipsR!!!! I am 11 and has been dancing ballet since 3. I absolutely love Claudia and she is such an inspiration!!!
Love these so much ❤️❤️❤️!!!
Love your videos CLAUDIA ❤️ u are so inspirational and interesting. I will always remember yr words every time I got discouraged 🤩🤪
HOW DID YOU FIX YOUR KNEES
Your last two solos were AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! I just found your channel and I'm so happy I did. I danced from 2yrs till I was 17 and became a teen mom. Not that I regret my now 11 year old I just wonder what would have happened or where I'd be if I didn't become a teen mom.
that solo is sooooo hard!!!
