    as a dancer who struggles with body image and confidence issues, i truly sobbed. this was exactly what it feels like when i teach my little girls at dance but am having a bad day, they brighten it up so quickly. through mental and physical disorders dance has always been my best friend, but also my enemy at the same time. i feel so represented and heard, thank you. this is beautiful!

      You are enough
      I know i dont know you.
      But..
      Your amazing
      Your enough
      Your unique
      Your special
      Your one in a trillion
      Your perfect
      Your you.
      Your body does not define you.
      Dont let the bullies grind you down.
      the only thing that can define you is yourself!!💗💗

    I can’t tell you how deep this hit me. I was told “you have the perfect body for ballet… if only you had some common sense.” I had an eating disorder at the time and it made ADHD worse. It was healing for me to go to a different studio later on and experience the world of dance without abuse. It makes my heart happy to see little girls not being yelled at.

    So many of us need this song , even outside ballet. I was a classical music prodigy. Believe me, I relate 100%. I know there’s a lot more body related pressure in ballet, but being small and playing incredibly hard pieces and people being amazed… how could you not be terrified to grow up? I so hope you are in a better place now. Thank you for this.

    I am forever grateful that my dance teacher that I've had for the past ten years (gosh its been that long) has never commented on anyone's body image at my studio (that I can think of or know of) she is the most non-toxic dance teacher I've heard of in terms of body image, and as a studio with all kinds of bodies, I can say that maybe our dancing is better because of that, we're not doubting ourselves.

    I saw the video that explains the meaning of the song and I can relate, my friends are always being favorites and being chosen for special dances where some people from each level are chosen and some people like me are just brushed aside and ignored, I always try my best but I can’t ever manage to do good enough to be chosen and I know that my teacher doesn’t judge my but I judge myself more than anyone else can. I don’t know how but you managed to brighten my day, the song is comforting. Thank you and keep up the good work

    The way I had goosebumps from that line about crawling into your body and they didn't go away for the rest of the song.. The mix of you with your incredible skill and the little girl with her fun approximation of what she sees ballerinas do and how you both tried to match and then the lyrics.. This song hit me a lot harder than I thought it would when I came here from the short you posted..

    I’m hugging little me so tight right now.
    TW eating disorder/ relapse and emetophobia (this is a vent but it’s not graphic)
    I struggle with ARFID to this day despite noticeable improvement from the past 8 years on medication. That doesn’t mean I don’t relapse sometimes and it’s so hard to know “this food is going to help you feel better” but your body rejects it outright. It’s hard to be told to eat another bite when you’ve drilled into your mind that if you do you’ll feel sick.
    I didn’t eat a lot two days ago, not because I didn’t want to but because I couldn’t, I ate more throughout the day but I know that it wasn’t enough. Yesterday I threw up which would send past me spiralling and would have no doubt caused a panic attack, especially with all the pressure I was under. But I was ok, I felt better even! So just take it as a lesson that you can fight that voice inside your head that tells you no, the voice that says you need to look a certain way. or the voice in my head that tells me you’ll be sick if you eat just that little bit more you need to sustain yourself. You’ve got this, we’ve got this💛

    Im trans and a sa victum and have never had the opportunity to feel safe and comfortable in my body, so this really hits for me because it's what it feels like. It feels like I crawled into the skin I have now, and all I could do was watch while my body turned into what it is now.
    Im so excited for the day I can make my body a home that I'm willing to live in. I can't wait for the day that my body looks and feels like home.

    bit of a longer comment, so I apologize for that -
    as someone who was yelled at and called names by my ballet teacher for years (he was such an asshole, he'd throw pens and stuff at us sometimes as well. kicked a hole in the wall one day. still teaches, too) and can trace back my body dysmorphia to being 5 in ballet and not liking the fact that I didn't look the same as the others, your video and lyrics really hit home with me and had me tearing up far more than I was expecting, especially since it's been years since I was in ballet. I sprained my ankle in grade 8 in field hockey and he made me go up en pointe a few days later, knowing about the injury. I'm icing that same ankle again today, about 10 years later, because I tripped and its so easy to hurt it now - turns out I have permanent damage in it. it's crazy the things we do when we're trying to be the version we think we're supposed to be. its a long as hell healing process.

    This whole video reminds me of a moment in my childhood. My mom took me to this lady’s house for work reason. While there I happened to meet her daughter, she was probably in her teens. Curious I talked to her the entire time as she quietly listened to me. During this time, I was into the Barbie, but I couldn’t make many friends due to that, saying it was for babies even though we were in 1st grade. However, that girl made me feel small not too small but small enough I feel enough to fit through. She treated me like i was 6 years old because I was 6 years old. Towards the end of the meet up, we ended up dancing like ballerinas.
    Now as a graduated high school senior, I wonder how she’s doing now. She might have never remembered me, but I’ll remember her and the impact she brought to that 6 year old that day.

    I was fortunate to be in a dance studio where the teachers were nice (granted, I was in 7th grade when I stopped). I met a girl and she stuck with me. She was extremely thin, in an unhealthy sense. She was good at dancing, but I wondered if she had anorexia or not. I remembered worrying a lot about her. I’m not going to go into more detail on her body, since I don’t want to trigger anyone reading, but sometimes subconsciously I wonder if she’s okay and she has healed.
    And I’m sorry if my comment is insensitive to read, I don’t actually have anorexia or any eating issues so please let me know if it’s triggering and I’m happy to edit it

    This is the best song for competitive dancers who got put in when they where really young, like two years old, and don’t know how to get out

    I love this, even though I’m not a dancer I relate to the lyrics of having body image issues and I feel so representeD
