The whole “it’s never too late to do something you want to do” speech was destined to hit me hard, because I’ve been considering going back to school. I already have my dream job without a degree, but I feel like there’s so much I could learn from college that would be so helpful in my job (I’m a zookeeper without a degree, a truly rare breed). I also miss learning, so, while I’ve been scared, I’ve been taking the first steps to going back. This really makes me feel like I can! Thanks Megan ❤
This comment touched me. Thank you for sharing it with us. It reassured me that I did the right thing. I recently signed up to go back to school for a master, and I have had my orientation week in university this past week. It's honestly never too late to learn, or to make life changing decisions. Every day you have the opportunity to change your life's path. We're constantly evolving. It's nerve-wracking since it's been a while since my college degree. I'm starting all over again, it feels. I've got no idea what awaitens me. But there is a beauty in this unknown. I am grateful to myself that I took the risk, that I followed this spark that let me to this very moment. This is my way of setting my future self up for success, and of showing up for myself every single day by giving me the opportunity to gain more knowledge and insight in that what interests me. If there's a small part of you that wonders, that longs to know more about your passion... Go for it. If it keeps wandering in your mind, it means this is something you really care about. It is worth pursuing your dreams. Also, you can be incredibly proud of yourself for landing not only such a good job without a degree, but also a job that matches your soul. Not everyone finds their dream job. That's amazing and something to cherish. On a practical note: if you found your dream job, maybe the dream scenario could be that you work part time and study part time? I have met people who do this, or follow evening classes to be able to combine studies and work. Or you can take a break, study full time and come back when you feel ready. There's no wrong way. Just keep holding onto your passions, that what fills your heart with purpose. Whatever path that leads you to. Sending you lots of good vibes!
@@vanessaserneels4798 I do currently work part time, which is why I feel like now is the time to go back to school! Best of luck with your masters program. Even if it’s been a while since you’ve been in a school setting, you’ll absolutely smash it! Sending you all of the positive thoughts and good vibes! ❤️
@@silentspeaker0156 Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words! They mean a lot, and came just at the right time. I've just had my first official week of classes (after the orientation week) and let me tell you, it has been a rollercoaster. To read your response at the end of it all is like a warm shower after a long day. I didn't even knew I needed to hear someone say that I'm going to make it, so thank you for being the one to do so. It reminds me that we're all in this together and fills me with hope :) You're an awesome soul. Sending you extraordinary good karma back!
Having a mean ballet teacher who kills your confidence is basically a right of passage as a dancer. Not quitting is what makes a dancer. So much love to you.
das sad
“If you’re teaching something, you gotta wanna help” OH MY GOD THAT SPOKE TO ME. I grew up doing ballet and luckily had the best teacher in the world who is like a second mom to me but when I went to annual conference workshops I got the same horrible vibes from the teachers like they just wanted to show off. Why are people like that?! I always felt like dancers outside of my dance family were so snobby and it was not helpful in progressing my abilities. We were definitely not there for the same reasons and it was such a bummer. So I feel your anxiety and majorly applaud you for going through with it. It can be the worst feeling when you are the odd one out but makes for some good laughs. Glad you got what you needed from Mika to feel confident and beautiful 😊
Had to exact same experience and was actually not able to find a ballet course where I feel comfortable since leaving my home towns dance family. I guess most ballet teachers are just rude haha 😅
That private lesson with Jennifer was so cute! You're doing so well already
I took my first ballet a class with 12 years olds when I was 26 years old. They were so much better than me, but they loved me and was so supportive!
I did ballet as a child, then i started again at 33 and ouch!! But the ouchies went away once i got back fully into it. Proud of you!!
That's amazing!💪🏼
Never did ballet, but when the musical box music started and you danced alone to it, I started crying, I mean what is happening???? I feel like a proud mom! Cheers to imperfections and embracing starting over again!
this was so special! that first ballet class seems to be a common occurrence for many unfortunately. but loved how jennifer pulled a major reframe and you looked so stunning by the end 🥹
This video resonates hard. Also the last clip of you doing the routine in the kitchen, you seriously do look like you know what you're doing. I can't wait for a progress video with that clip as the beginning in like a year or something!
I love seeing you and Jennifer together!! Two of my fav dancers ever
Thank you Megan! Your continued positivity and personality has shaped a lot of who I am today, I’ve never had the opportunity to thank you for it,
THANK YOU MEGAN,
Love you.
whenever i watch your videos, the whole time i'm like WRITE THIS SENTENCE DOWN, WRITE IT DOWN! your energy is so powerful and you're growing so much, i feel so inspired by you, thank u so much for letting us be a part of that.
I’ve always wanted to try hip hop and have always felt it’s too late for me. Even in high school and college I felt this way, struggling to join classes and find groups of people my age who were beginners to learn with. If I had pushed through in high school where would I be now?!! Not a beginner! I admire and am inspired by this energy. Here’s to doing whatever we want without fear!!
I love your friend!!! She is so supportive and seems like an awesome teacher! Please keep learning!
Nothing makes me happier than seeing you reconnect with your love and talent for movement in this new way. So proud of how you are showing up for yourself during this moment in your life!
Girl, so proud of you! From my understanding (through movies, lol) professional ballet teachers are technical and rough. Watch Center Stage, great movie! I took two semesters of dance around 29 and 31. Everyone was younger than me and the teachers favored the seasoned dancers more than the just for fun students.
Keep up the self discovery! I'll be 41 in 8 days. Never too late! It's all about perspective. My goal was to be a surfer. I made a few attempts in my teens and twenties, but put myself last. Cut to 20+ yrs later, and I just got back from a 3 day surf trip. 🙌🌊
So happy you found a private teacher! Her approach is beautiful! 🥰
So I just started taking a portrait painting class with no painting background. And I came home crying cuz I just didn’t know what I was doing, felt inadequate, and felt like I’m behind. But watching you learn something new and give yourself permission to be bad, gave me more confidence. I really wanna get better at art and pursue something in it. Thanks for sharing a bit of your experience ❤ I hope you’re having a wonderful day
I loved this so much! The beginning with you getting ready and your reaction to the teacher was GOLD!!!! OMG.... I loved the ballet lessons at the end! So beautiful! More of you two!!!! "I'm alive.. so that means it's not too late to try something new." 🥰
You're a natural Megan. I was never able to do a double in dance. I was thinking you were going to take us to the dance class like with the pole dancing and silk class videos that you have.
The woman at the end is how I learn best as well! Growing up as a classical musician I almost never got those types of interactions but really try to pass them along to the folks I teach now! ❤❤❤
Hello and good morning. Love you! You're so down to earth and real. I am so glad to find your RUclips channel. You make make life look fun and carefree. It's much needed these days. Keep on being you, and being such a bright light in our lives. Here's to 2023 as we wind down the year. Thank you!!
When ‘Toon said “- I’m still alive.” I felt that 😂
It is so beautiful what a difference a good teacher makes 💕 she went from being disheartened to empowered 💪
I started trying ballet when i was in college. In my class there was a lady who was in her late 50s who had just started ballet 2 years ago. She talked about how when she was kid she was told that ballet was not for her and she shouldnt do it so she never did. Now in her 50s she is learning to live for herself and started taking the dance class she always wanted to. And she did not care if her form wasnt perfect or what she looked like because she was having so much fun and doing what she wanted to do. It was one of the most beautiful experiences ever!
Also side note…If you are looking for soft dance, try hula. I have been dancing hula since i was a little and love it so much.
Megan! I’ve trained in ballet all throughout school and have thought about going back. You look great! More of this please!
This collab is perfect!! You both vibe so well together ♥️
MEGAN IS A GREAT DANCER!
I've been wanting to start ballet my whole life but I'm in my late twenties and a perfectionist. This is the kick I needed. Thank you 💕
okay great we'll do it together
I was like a ballet prodigy as a young child but then stopped at the age of 10. For years I’ve been wanting to get back into it. I’m 26 now so maybe I might give it a shot. Thanks😌
WHY DID I CRY AND GET CHILLS!!! MEGAN YOUR GROWTH IS TRULY INSPIRING, THANK YOU ❤️🥰 gonna write about this day in my journal 🥺
Save the last dance!!! Dude your core is nuts!!! Haha that’s so cool!!!
Your friendship is so fun!! Hope to see more of yall together
I’ve been learning how to bowl more competitively and been lucky to have fellow bowlers be open to teach me the nuances of the sport without being patronizing.
I am going to my first story slam tonight & I am baffled that your video came out on the same day!!
We are both doing new things and so humbling. We are GLOWING as we are GROWING
Hey Megan! Thanks for sharing your first ballet class. I’m 31 years old too and have been thinking to take ballet class. Your video inspires me a lot!
you know what, you're right. it is never too late to start something!! I am suddenly motivated to pick up a new hobby I have been wanting to try!
The cookie in hand while explaining what you learned is sooooooooo goooood!!!!!! Love it😍😍😍
Thanks!
16:30
“I’m gonna add a little leap at the end.”
“But I’m 31.”
😂
I adore this video and your bravery to take on something new ♡
Megan you are beyond talented!!! Your form is so good for someone who has never taken balet. Pinays are just built different.
You're both giving Save the Last Dance energy!!! So goooood!!!!♡♡♡
This is Step Up unintentionally recreated ❤️
I started ballet as an adult beginner 2 years ago, with no dance experience except a little bit of ballet as a 5 year old and a lifetime of being told this “funny” story about how I have two left feet and the teacher told my grandparents to withdraw me from classes because I was bad. I started anyway during the pandemic on zoom, and have danced consistently since, and a few weeks ago I started pointe. Ballet is humbling but so worth it.
You keep gain XP in the game of life. Another skill slowly absorbed. Let's get it
if she was in an isekai she would totally be OP !
Ugh love both the vibes u and Jennifer give off so love that y’all are friend irl!!
so proud of you for going out of your comfort zone!!!! but i think it is normal for ballet teachers to make up combos as they go, especially if they've been doing this for a while.
Could I be more proud? 👏🏾👏🏾.
As a former dancer, it never really 🍃 🍂 🍁 you. Ballet for sure helps you have a necessary confidence to carry you through life. I love your video and blessed be your journey!
Such a beautiful performance!! And such a beautiful pep talk! Love you Megan!!!
I just turned 30 and have decided to make this year the year I do things that scare me. I just bought a motorcycle and am learning how to ride. You got this! Enjoy learning something new!
So awesome!! I still remember the BA BA BATOON!! Lol
This experience reminds me of when I tried ballet. It was always something I wanted to do but my family couldn’t afford it growing up. Then when I turned 19 and started working, I signed up and my classmates were all 10 and under lol. Humbling for sure.
Okay the hair at the start of the video was STUNNING! Like a mane! Also, ballerina dancing!? You did so great and Jennifer was a great teacher. Literally you are tackling something new in the 30's! Next year, I will too. I just dont know what but I will find it soon. Also that meal with hello fresh looks good like always hahahaha.
OMG I have crippling perfectionism that I’ve really been working on and this has come at such a relevant time in my life. I relate so much 🥺 Also Megan has always been so stunning and talented that whenever she doubts herself I’m SHOOK and it makes me think if that’s how my loved ones would see me if they knew my doubt and insecurity and it makes me want to work on giving myself more grace. This was actually so inspiring and makes me want to do things I’m bad at just to try new things, and it feels even harder as I get older! So all the more appreciation Megan 💓
this was so wholesome, especially the part with jennifer mika. i've been a fan of you both for awhile now and it was fun seeing different worlds collide hahah. and i agree, that was stunning! ❤ hope your covid symptoms are mild and you recover soon megan 🤗 sending the biggest hugs from dubai
Megan this made me smile and laugh! I love the energy between you and Mika! You both are having fun and it’s just only Positivity!!!!❤
I've been subscribed since 2014 and you were a harder hip-hop dancer. It was actually you that made me want to get into dance in the first place. I love all types of dance and I can't wait to see what becomes of this ballet experience ❤️
The meal advice is wonderful, been doing it years and just thought I was a weirdo.
This counts as a dance video and I love it 🥰 Look at you gaining yet another skill 😁
I can never not look at Megan with either a short sleeve shirt or tank on and think “Damn look at her arms! 💪” freaking love it
"I wish I could wear SWEATPANTS!!!!!!"
honestly such a mood
I thoroughly enjoyed this video :)
I love all of this! Literal chills and teary eyes at the end ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ much love
YAY MEGAN IS DANCING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!
I def need more Jen and Megan vids, pls!!!
I grew up doing ballet and I've been trying to get into hip hop since I was 19. I'm 23 now and my body has grown up only doing light and bouncy and graceful so hip hop safe to say just looks like an externalization of me fighting my inner demons.
That was soooooo awesome!!!! I'm in love! Please post more of this journey!
i am LIVING for this duo of you and jennifer. you both give such big sister little sister energy!!
hope ur feeling better and that covid doesn't kick u in the butt too much!
Wonderful video, as someone who also am starting in a new field as an adult this speaks so much to me !
You are such a delight and so full of wisdom.I love you Megan!!!
I enjoy watching you always! Happy to see you trying something new. Is never too late. Loved seeing you with your friend, It really shows how you value friendship.
I went into Allstar cheer for nevada elite all stars before they combined with California all stars and I went into hip hop genre of dancing as well that’s crazy no wonder I liked you from the beginning haha
are we the same person
@@MeganBatoon If she is, one of you must live. ;)
Girl drop the workout/nutrition routine!!!!! You look amazing!!!!
This brings me so much life. You are thriving 🌱
I love you sm ❤️ thank you for sharing your experience & always being brave enough to be vulnerable 💫
Who cares what others think. Do what you want for YOU.
The ending of this was soooo goooodddd!!!
Thank you for making this video Megan. I have been wanting to get back into dance but felt to old to start something new, but I have just signed up for a free class and I can’t wait. You’re the best!
megan, youve got an amazing body, and so does your friend. like super healthy,athletic, slim, but not overly skinny. and your hair is amazing
I told myself that I havent heard from Megan Batoon in a long time... well this video was released 10 days ago AND youtube didn't tell me! This algorithm! But hey I searched for you and here I am :)
I just started going back to salsa classes again after being scared when I was dropped on my neck by my partner in the school team. And then the pandemic hit and I got more scared to go back.
Last time I would fixate on not getting the choreography. Now I’m just in it purely for how it makes me feel ❤
I loove the energy between you two!
I haven’t taken a ballet class since I was in college and I feel like I’d struggle so congrats on you starting from scratch!! Also ugh I love JP Saxe and WAIT I went to college with Jennifer for a year she’s an incredible dancer!! My worlds are colliding this is wild
It's fun to watch you learn new things. Great video, you did awesome
Thank you for this reminder that it is never too late to try! I played volleyball in college and have been thinking about joining a local league. I'm 34 and imma do it!
Thanks for lifting my day🙏🏾
Megannn, i LOVE YOU!! And your energy. You’re so inspiring and I appreciate u SO much. ur so cool n real! hope ur doing well🤍
GIIIIIIIIRL! YOU'RE GREAT FOR SOMEONE WHO NEVER DID BALLET!! Coming from someone who did ballet for 18 years
Hi hello, I am currently a ballet dancer and would like to say that I felt that practice développé at the beginning. K love you ❤
thïs wås soooooo informative and inspiring and ŸOU MADE IT LOOK SO GOODDDDD ✨✨ thank you för sharing your light ås always, it means so much more thån you know 🦋
“giving myself permission to be bad at something” something so freeing to me but so terrifying 😭
especially if you're like me and were expected to be the best, it's a radical act of love to meet ourselves where we are
The journey continues!
Omg this is really bringing me back to my first ballet class!!! I was so nervous too. If it makes you feel better I was a junior in high school with 8th graders 😐
GIRL. I DID THIS SAME THING.
When I was like 23, I decided I really wanted to get into dance again, BUT THE ONLY CLASSES OFFERED NEAR ME WERE FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS.
When I say that shit was humbling…. I mean it. I 100% get what you’re going through, but I hope it goes well!!!
I got the most respect an luv for this woman I get giddy when ever I see her... Soo attractive spiritual an physically
2 of my most favorite female Wasians in one frame 🥲
we are giving dig Bic energy (as in, there are probably ballpoint pens buried somewhere in a geo-cache, and it's expedition time to uncover such a treasure lmao)
“I’m gonna tell my journal about this”
What energy are we giving
Alexa: I miss something
Megan: yeah, me too
Never related to something more lately
