    This is my biggest unfulfilled dream in life. I was so eager to learn but I met a ballet teacher once and she told me that I could never be a ballerina because of a small problem with my leg that I had. I was 4 years old.

    • @Angieacat
      @Angieacat 7 лет назад +17

    • @queeneva3
      @queeneva3 7 лет назад +46

      Angelica Rufus it was never dangerous on the contrary it would be beneficial. as a kid I couldn't walk quite straight and in her eyes I wasn't 'graceful enough' to learn ballet but I was only 4, I grew up to walk perfectly fine, her opinion just held me back from pursuing activities like dancing or running for many years because I was afraid of looking like a fool. I am too old to start ballet now I'm 23 but it's okay I just wish that people were more encouraging instead of creating such complexities to others

I began ballet at the age of 15 and never got that turnout naturally as she does, not even by cheating. Also, my physics are not as outstretched but more compact. If she took lessons seriously, she would soon be good at bar-less adagio.

This was harder and more work than any of the half-and full marathons I did in race walking. One is never too old to do ballet, but only those who start young will be able to attain the standard required for professional dancing. I do it for the psychological and physical benefit and have never felt better.

    I think that this is proof that having a prefect ballet body doesn't automatically make you a good dancer.
    As I ballet dancer myself, I struggled and still struggle with not being thin enough (although I'm a normal weight).
    But I observed some how my thinner classmates didn't have as good technique or flexibility as me, even though they've took more ballet classes.
    In my ballet class I wasn't afraid to do mistakes because I knew inside my worth and what I'm capable of, and I've always tried not to let my "not ballerina" body stop me.

    I love to dance and so I have Pointe Shoes. They are kind of painful but fun to twirl around with!

    Seeing this makes me think she should have done ballet, for a first try she's got really amazing qualities and the fact that she could even copy what Isabella was doing without using the wrong leg etc was pretty impressive. And she's totally got the body too, I'm jealous haha

    LoL I'm a ballet/modern dancer and I love when people try ballet. Makes me happy to see people have fun and try something new and get and understanding for what goes into the job ^^ I'm glad she didn't break an ankle en pointe though
