I wanted to cry when i saw their teacher waiting for them in the chair before hugging them. They spend so much time with the teachers, and without their parents there im sure their teachers must be proud too!
Soooo touchingg!! I loved it when both Ella and Mayumi wanted to tell their parents firsthand on what happened!! shows how they didn't forget their parents! so inspiring!!
15 years of my life was dedicated to this and sadly I had to give it up but seeing others succeed makes me so happy. I can only imagine the joy of realizing your plan for the future is open to you
Wow. That's so gracious. Like having carrying for 9 months and laboring and never holding your promise! Ballet training really toughens a person. Dancers have so much grit and character. God bless you! (You should teach. Lots of poor little girls cant afford lessons. We never got that far even. .)
I am so happy for Ella and Mayumi! I was a little surprised Valeriia wasn't given an offer in place of Ella (though I love Ella)--maybe just style differences? Happy that Valeriia accepted the offer at Joffrey! That's huge! :)
+Lauren b I've been wondering if Valriia said no to Miami, maybe off-camera? She really was brilliant, and Joffrey making an offer, as well as ABT offering a second audition - that doesn't usually happen to dancers turned down by Miami...
+uclmu2008 I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what happened. Miami City Ballet was never going to hold on to a Vaganova graduate, especially not one that good. I'm a little surprised ABT didn't make an offer right off, but the Joffrey is a fantastic place for her and I'm sure she'll do amazing work there.
I CRIED SO MUCH WHEN MAYUMI GOT THE CONTRACT! The fact that she's Brazilian like me is so amazing, because it's very hard to succeed as a dancer having started here, and she did it! I don't know if she can read this, but if she can, Mayumi, você dança muito muito muito muito bem, eu fiquei muito feliz quando você conseguiu o contrato, e sua carreira não para por aí. Eu sei que, daqui a uns 15 anos, quando eu colocar minha futura filha em aulas de Ballet, ela vai ouvir as professoras falarem de seu sucesso e eu poderei dizer que assisti um de seus passos, mesmo que pela internet! Beijo do Brasil!
I loved this season of Strictly Ballet so much. I love Strictly Ballet. Please do a 3rd season in San Francisco Ballet or actually anywhere just please do a 3rd season, i think all ballet fans need it.
I met Loudes Lopez many years ago in the lobby of NYCBallet and she was just a lovely person, so kind. I told her I had seen her dance with Peter Martins in 1976 at Goucher College in Baltimore and she was quite happy to hear it. When we spoke, perhaps 15 years later, she was a principal with NYCBallet.
Aww thisepisdemade me cry and seeing them cry and tell there parent sand hug their teachers just made me cry even more! PLZZZ make a season 3 this series is so good!
This whole series has been very inspiring to watch. Congratulations to all of you even though its a few years later. I watch stuff like this if I’m feeling depressed or whatever, you all really bring light and happiness to the world. Thank you for sharing your journeys and your talents!
Wah, I just love these series so much and I'm so happy for all of them! If you do a season 3, wouldn't it be so cool if you did it at Royal Ballet Theatre in London?
Great! Valeria's going to Joffrey. I hope she LOVES the rep. it's awesome and I hope she loves Chicago, it's SO American. Best wishes to all of you, thank you for a wonderful show.
I have so much respect for these people including the back stage people that help get them dressed and make-up and all the things no one ever thinks about but without everyone.......NOTHING happens and there is no show. So hard, such a toll on the body and the stress of it all and endless practice while never ending diets happen and they make so little money in the beginning at least. I wish they all knew they make this world a lot nicer, more bearable place to live and without the artists in this world, I would not make it in this life.
Did ballet all my life as a child. Danced at the Kennedy center, auditioned for Kirov, danced at duke ellengton. And all I have to say is that the aches and pains aren't worth it. Glad I got out of it when my body started to say "b**** enough!"
I performed at the Kennedy center as well for Joffrey ballet in NY I did the nutcracker and it was amazing! I'm still dancing now and all the aches and pains are worth it to me! And you must have been good to get into Kirov? Other then the pain why did you quit?
Mayumi having someone in the company like Natalia is a big reminder of how important representation can be. I’m Chinese, and when I first saw Tan Yuanyuan dance I sort of latched onto the fact that there’s another person like me who’s made it
I find it so interesting that Lourdes Lopez, the Director of Miami City Ballet is connected to SAB and the New York City Ballet Company that is the centre of the first season as she studied at SAB and was a principal dancer there at SAB.
TEEN VOGUE!!!!! WHEN YOU CUT THEIR DANCES YOU MESS UP THE CHOREOGRAPHY SO MUCH. I WAS CRINGING WATCHING THEM DANCE BECAUSE THE CAMERA KEPT CUTTING TO A SECOND LATER AND IT JUST MESSES UP THE CHOREOGRAPHY!
Please please please offer Carlos a spot next year! HOLY SHIT VALERIIA'S GOING TO JOFFREY YES BABY YES. Mayumi and Ella!!! Oh my god I couldn't. I couldn't.
I wanted to cry when i saw their teacher waiting for them in the chair before hugging them. They spend so much time with the teachers, and without their parents there im sure their teachers must be proud too!

Teen Vogue, why did you have them film themselves with their phones? Why did you also film them filming themselves with their phones?
Relatability
Send to their parent
Sofia Davis why did that make me laugh
I am so happy for Ella and Mayumi! I was a little surprised Valeriia wasn't given an offer in place of Ella (though I love Ella)--maybe just style differences? Happy that Valeriia accepted the offer at Joffrey! That's huge! :)
Yes, Ella's dancing doesn't compare to Valeriia's IMO.

Rosie as someone who has gone to Joffrey performances I love Valeria’s dancing.

Oh yaaa that's a good idea
I loved this season of Strictly Ballet so much. I love Strictly Ballet. Please do a 3rd season in San Francisco Ballet or actually anywhere just please do a 3rd season, i think all ballet fans need it.
I knew Mayumi would get it! She's really graceful!
I love these series but the editing could be better. Longer shots so we can see them actually dance.
is it just me, or does Mayumi have like the Cutest laugh and face. Her mixed accent though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know this is late but Gustavo and Mayumi's friendship throughout this series was really so precious @11:56
I cried so much when they got their contracts, I'm so happy for them, they deserved it so much!
I met Loudes Lopez many years ago in the lobby of NYCBallet and she was just a lovely person, so kind.

This was such a beautiful episode! I loved it when the dancer got a spot in the company! It totally melted my heart and I cried like a baby!

I cried when they got their contract, I'm so happy for them☺️
I'm ridiculously happy for those two! I almost cried myself, I wish both the best of luck!
I love how supportive the friends are!!!! Usually my friends would get jealous while some would congratulate me
Great! Valeria's going to Joffrey. I hope she LOVES the rep. it's awesome and I hope she loves Chicago, it's SO American. Best wishes to all of you, thank you for a wonderful show.
Yea I follow her on Instagram, She is thriving 🎊🎉👏👏👏
12:16

Hard work, passion, dedication = dreams come true... I cried so much 😭☺️

I suppose it lost its air to me.
That's understandable :) casey childs
Fighting for a goal your entire life and finally succeeding it is so fulfilling... The determination and their passion is admirable...CONGRATS!
I don't know why that was so cute, but, "Portuguese, Portuguese, Portuguese... uh huuuh~" 💖
Mayumi having someone in the company like Natalia is a big reminder of how important representation can be. I’m Chinese, and when I first saw Tan Yuanyuan dance I sort of latched onto the fact that there’s another person like me who’s made it
I am so happy for them. It feel so great watching people reaching their dream, hope it is my time soon :D
im crying. we need season three please!
i know nothing about ballet but this made me cry so much i'm so happy for them
Crying!!! With how happy they are for eachother!!!!!!!
I have the chills! This was so heartwarming!
I find it so interesting that Lourdes Lopez, the Director of Miami City Ballet is connected to SAB and the New York City Ballet Company that is the centre of the first season as she studied at SAB and was a principal dancer there at SAB.
+izzleberry Yes she's a principal dancer back then with SAB
With NYCB* SAB is the school not the company
sorry yes i mean NYCB
Also that Kathryn Morgan studied at SAB & became a soloist at NYCB and is now a soloist at MCB.
@@heyryanisonx3141 Kathryn Morgan left after a disappointing year, she was hardly given any roles because they thought she wasn’t skinny enough 😡
Boy I'm so happy for her
I cried so much omg 😭 it's so nice to see them achieve their goals
i cried when mayumi cried
Can you do another season with San Francisco Ballet?
Look how happy they are for their "rivals"..! So beautiful to see... They are so mature for their age, my god..!!
So proud of Lera what a huge journey. You are such a brave girl to follow your dream. Little Lera - all grown up :)))
mayumi is the most adorable human being ever
I love this series so much! I'm excited for the next season, and I hope they go to over to the West Coast next and visit either SFB or PNB.
TEEN VOGUE!!!!! WHEN YOU CUT THEIR DANCES YOU MESS UP THE CHOREOGRAPHY SO MUCH. I WAS CRINGING WATCHING THEM DANCE BECAUSE THE CAMERA KEPT CUTTING TO A SECOND LATER AND IT JUST MESSES UP THE CHOREOGRAPHY!
YAYAYYAYAYAYAY GO MAYUMI AND ELLA!!!!😊😊👌👌💛❤️❤️💙👏💜😭😭😭
I cried a lot when I saw those two girls got their contracts. It's really cool🤘
I havent cried this much for a really long time.
I cried so hard watching this.
But I did kinda laugh a bit when she said " Daddy is having a break down? " xD
I love the look of black point shoes! Almost as much as red point shoes. 😍
This is not only about ballet. This is dream!
I was crying
I’m still waiting for Season 3💛💛💛
I'm crying so hard right now that was too cute
Please please please offer Carlos a spot next year!
HOLY SHIT VALERIIA'S GOING TO JOFFREY YES BABY YES.

No one here, is as polished as the ones in SAB. :)) But Ella, here has a very good personality.
I just realized I’ve been watching Valeria perform with Joffrey for years!!
