Omg anyone who is a supportive “lady at the front desk” thank you so much!!! So many of them in so many settings. I don’t know what I would do without them 😭 Even as an adult but especially when I was as a child
Adding to everything you said (all of which I wholeheartedly agree with) being able to go “showtime!” And just switch on and sell it no matter how crappy or unprepared you feel - that really helps in life. I don’t perform professionally but I perform a lot nonetheless in many genres. I also have a corporate job where I have to meet with very scary and intimidating people. The kind of concentration and show must go on and sell it even if you don’t feel it attitude has helped me in job interviews and very important meetings. As someone who is not that naturally confident and tends to overthink everything, that on/off switch I attained through my decades of performance is something that I think ONLY performing arts can teach you.
I looked at a class without corrections as a class I failed. It seemed to me if the teacher corrected me, he thought I had the ability to do better; if he didn't correct mistakes, I thought it meant he thought I couldn't improve.
Do we share the same brain?? 😂 Haha Thanks for this, that’s such a good way to approach ballet- embracing corrections. You cannot fail :)
I was taught early to listen to all the teacher's corrections, even those not given specifically to me, and to apply them if appropriate. Very helpful.
I'm an adult beginner to dance and the first thing it taught me was how out of shape I was. Holy crap my body is so sore and I feel so tired. I also feel like if I had any level of ego it would teach me humility because EVERYTHING IS HARD! Entirely worth it though. I always feel great after a class.
Ballet can definitely be humbling, not just for beginners! But you’re absolutely right, it is SO fulfilling even in the midst of the soreness and pain. Keep at it! Proud of you for sharing 🩰
You've done it. I'm going to pick up ballet in a month.
I just want to applaud you both for your beautiful, feminine yet modest fashion and style. Im always thinking how I want to find the shirts and blouses y'all have on
Aww thank you, we appreciate that so much! ☺️☺️❤️❤️
To Jordan’s lesson - how about “esprit de corps”? A feeling of belonging to a group, working as a group, being loyal to that group, and being proud of being part of that group.
Yes, thank you!!! It’s so important to be mindful of the group you’re in and to truly understand the value of being in a group. Sometimes we get caught up in wanting to pull ahead in front of the rest, but being humble enough to work for the common good is what truly makes one rise. Thanks so much for sharing!
This was something I've never thought about and have never seen discussed. So interesting, and it makes sense. Ballet has probably lost promising dancers who couldn't or wouldn't adapt to the mental demands/requirements.
You’re absolutely right, but the ones who are committed to humbling themselves and learning really shine through and succeed ☺️
What has your ballet journey taught you? We’d love to chat about it! As always, thanks so much for watching, we love and appreciate you guys! ❤❤
I moved from a chill, relaxed, recreational studio, to a strict pre-professional studio when I was 12. I had many issues in my body that seemed like they couldn't be fixed, like a lack of ab strength, sickled feet, and bad posture. I was not able to go on pointe until I was 13-14. I hated myself and my body for this. But I learned that I had so much more strength and resilience and consistency than I thought I did. It wasn't like I could ask for it to be fixed, and I had to grow up very quickly and learn to improve and take care of my body because I jumped from 2hrs/week to 10hrs/week. This still sticks with me and helps me day by day to continue to improve.
Oh, yes, the body's boundaries! Like Jordan, I also used to push myself to and past injuries. Yep, a very dangerous strategy and one that more teachers and directors should caution against.
Yes! Such an important issue in dance and glad others can relate with us who push ourselves to unhealthy levels. Had to learn from it, and hope others can too. Thanks for sharing!
Have a great day gals 💗
Thank you so much, and you as well! 💕
I dance in a more recreational, less strict and smaller studio, and perhaps the most important thing for me is understanding that even if some steps may seem simple or boring, I can always challenge myself and focus on various aspects of my technique to improve it even more. Btw I love your videos ❤
That’s a very mature perspective to have in your situation. Mastering all the foundational steps are what will give you success in the “fun” steps later on. Glad you enjoy our videos, thank you for watching! ❤️
I hope you guys do an episode about Dance Academy!! That show wrecked me but also got me interested in Ballet.
1,000 is creeping up on you!!! How about those stories! 💕
I haven't danced ballet since I was a little girl, but your commentary is great. You guys are fun to watch. I will admit, I subscribed mainly to get you to 1K so you can get monetized! May the algorithm be ever in your favor.
Okay you win, this made us laugh so hard 😂 Thank you so much for your kind words and for the sub! We’ll take it! ❤️
I love how wholesome and supporting your videos are, particularly since there are a ton of stereotypes about ballet that portray it as being more toxic. And I feel like everything you mention here is applicable to so many areas in life, regardless of what it is. I'd love to see you doing a collab with @ThePointeShop and be able to reach even more people.
Love this, thank you so much ❤️ Ballet does not have to be all that it’s sometimes portrayed to be. There are so many wonderful people on here who love ballet and we’re hopeful there’s much more positive in the ballet world when we come together to share the good and “wholesome” appreciation for the art.
And YES, would love to do a collab with @ThePointeShop one day. That would be really fun!
Our ballet teacher taught us this, if the teacher says to do this, you gotta do it no matter what. 😅
I don't generally "like" videos, but for a "most embarrassing ballet moments" video... yup!
Hahah Thanks so much for watching. We may have to share that in a future vid LOL Glad we earned your “like!” 😅
You girls are hilarious!!! Def worth the sub
Thank you so much!! 😊
Eden looks so young, loke 15 years old young
Hahaha thank you! 😆😆
Great content! Vibe is great! I love hearing about ballet history and I would love to hear y’all opinions about other professional ballerinas, like Joy Womack and others perhaps. 😊
We appreciate your vid suggestion!! Thank u so much and thanks for being hereeee 😁😁
So non ballet related,but loving what you do is so so so important! Spent 6 years in a job that I hated so bad! But then once I found my calling all the things you two spoke about in this vid resonated with me, and i could totally relate to everything you guys said! Keep up the good work ladies
Yes, loving what you do is a really great point. Glad these things can be applied to any area in life not just ballet. Thank you for watching and sharing
😊
Hi! Sorry to comment this in a non reaction video, but a Ballet themed anime released in 2022 called "Dance Dance Danseur" which you might find interesting to react to (at least to the dancing portrayed).
The anime is about a young boy called Junpei who has to attend a ballet performance (which he finds very dull), but immediately is drawn to the display of emotion and artistry. After the death of his father, he decides to do something more "masculine" thus straying away from ballet. His passion, however, is reignited at age 14 after watching two classmates dancing.
Thanks for your comment. Appreciate the suggestion., looks and sounds interesting. We would love to review it particularly to the ballet dancing that this portrayed in the movie. Maybe look for it in a future vid?!
c'mon everyone, get your friends to like this video so we can hear those embarrassing on-stage moments
Oh dear 😅😅
Brilliant ❤
Great video :))

Greetings and welcome! Glad you’re here from Peru 🇵🇪 Yes, look for classical music recommendations coming in a future vid!
