Last Sunday I performed, and right when I came backstage to the wing, we had to go on stage. I was SO late I had no time backstage I just had to immediately perform on stage once I rushed into the wing
mafer Quick changes give me so much anxiety. Literally, during my concert rehearsal, I missed my ballet dance and they had to start over all again because of me...
Once we were changing formation and i went into the wrong window and the girl in that window pointed me to to the right one and i had to run over to it late. And the my dance teacher was like "this is what rehearsals were for" all snarky. Like, i was 10, i made a mistake. And get THIS: the rehearsal i missed was for the bows, ending and the lighting which we don't even dance for at my studio. Plus when i asked people i knew in the audience they said they didn't even notice. I go to a different studio now btw, where i progress MUCH more and get better choreo.
Jenny Cheng the point is her teacher was being kind of rude, you shouldn’t degrade your student even if they made a mistake, they’re probably feeling horrible as it is.
Ok. here are some of my dance horror stories if you are interested: 1. I was doing a nutcracker performance and I fell flat on my lower back and cried on stage. I was 11 2. I had a competitive solo one year and my headpiece fell out 2 out f the three performances 3. I was in a group with a song that was inappropriate so the teacher edited out the bad parts and at the competition, they played the wrong version 4. I had to improv a solo part during a group dance on stage because I forgot it
Helpful & Fun Videos Made by Hannah Its actually quite rare. To get tss you would need to have that tampon in for a long, long time. Having a tampon in during a performance will not give you tss :)
@@risotto4life577 True...but it would be in the back of my head during the entire performance and that would make it more difficult for me to dance if I'm worried about tss.
Lmao same happened to my ex dance teacher, she said she just continued dancing some random stuff and noone even noticed but her teacher was mad af afterwards😂
Earlier this year my costume was a little too big and it almost fell off on stage so I had to extend my arm even more to try and not make it not fall off lmao🩰
Oh my gosh! Once a couple years ago my skirt was way too big and there were a lot of bouncy movements in the choreo. Everytime there was a tiny break in the dance I'd wiggle it up a little. Got off stage and put a safety pin in my skirt and sewed it when I got home so thankfully it never happened again! It's awful!
I have a competition tomorrow (iceskating) and I relate so much😂😂 Edit: I actually finished last bc I fell twice but it was still a lot of fun and in the beginning it went soooo well!
OMG something happened similar to my one friend Emma while she was on stage performing. Right at the end the strap to her top snaps but she felt it and she caught it in time before flashing the entire audience. There is only one strap and it went around her neck can’t even imagine what would’ve happened.
Omg I had 2 dance performances today. And my music stoped in the middle of my dance and I just keep going, but at the end it started in the middle again! I just struck a pose because I was done, and waited till they closed the curtain. Btw I love your videos!
I learned the number in 3 hours dropped someone and had to make it look intentional but we still got through we don’t know if we made it to the finals coz of ✨COVID✨
Other ballet dancer You Tubers : Not relatable and pretend they know what their doing. Mackenzie: Super relatable and understanding true ballet dancers!! Luv ya Mackenzie! ❤
For the forgetting the dance fear, would it be possible to improvise until you remember the rest? (like an extra spin or something) Since it's super super obvious when you've forgotten something and stop. That's something I learned in theater but idk if it would apply to dance.
It happened to me the day of my performance. And I was on a rainy field trip that morning so my hair got SOOO wet. My mom had to blow dry and flat iron it so I was almost late.
5:08 omg i competed with that variation for a year and i had like a full body shock when hearing it again im getting flashbacks to all the stress and rehearsals
My dance teacher likes for us to whipstitch the knot on our ribbons if we have a a few minutes. Kind of a pain for shoe changes because you have to pick the stitches before you take the shoes off, but at least you know your ribbons won't fall off! ❤
My hair used to be super long and heavy, so during a performance my bun came loose despite the 103636 bobby pins and a ton of hairspray we had used. Other than that nothing major happened. I was only dancing for 3 years though, it's been 6-7 years since I stopped and I really want to start again
A girl in my dressing room at nationals (their studio went so we took it after) spilled their Starbucks on their teammates costume and they were all fighting when we just stood there lol 😂 they still had to use their costume later 😬
When I was a party girl the hooks were broken on my dress and we didn’t know, so it kept unbuckling on stage during the first performance. I had to be sewed in the costume for the rest of the performances
The other day I was doing my contemporary dance and I was doing a kick and I slipped and almost fell and my heart went 📈 but like I played it off and nobody noticed 😂
I can completely relate to wardrobe malfunction! one time a cheap leotard snapped in my face, and slowly started slipping down, while all I had underneath was a nude leotard that was so close to my skin color than I looked naked for 1/4 of the dance. It was soo embarrassing.
My friend is a ballet dancer and one time while she was on stage, a safety pin popped open and started stabbing her waist as she was dancing... she has to try and bend a weird way to not bleed everywhere, but still try to look pretty while dancing.
Oml, music stopping freaks me out so much! At my dancing studio everyone gets a senior solo and one year this girl had her music cut out on her but she kept going and when the music came on her timing was so on point that she was exactly where it was supposed to be. She's a freaking legend and I'm terrified of just losing my music because I have the worst timing without music
I’m always afraid that I’m gonna get mixed up and accidentally go on stage when it’s not my turn yet and so I end up checking with the stage manager like a million times
once my friend was doing a pointe solo (in front of a bunch of young girls and in front of her whole dance team- im on the team btw) and the wood floor in the studio was slippery and she just fell flat on her butt. she just rolled out of it gracefully and continued dancing. i thought it was actually intentional. she did a great job just going with it!!
So I have two lol 👌 1. A few years ago I had 2 dances to get changed into a ballet dance. As I pulled up my stocking they ripped all up my thigh, I had no time to get new ones or borrow someone else’s. I had to dance with a huge rip on my thigh (it had also ripped across to the other thigh while I danced) it was stressful 😅 2. The year before that my ballet shoes did not fit me, I did not know what happened (they fit my the night before) so I had to borrow someone else’s, their dance was 4 after mine so after my dance I had to run down to her while she was lining up for her dance 😅😅
I was doing a solo once in a black leo and tights wearing white under wear according to my teacher the stage lighting made it transparent so the audience could see my underwear I've never worn under wear in class or stage since
Girlll! Probably not you're average watcher lol im 21, never danced, but love watching ballet and other styles. And really regret not doing ballet lol I did gymnastics but that's it. Sorry for my irrelevant information but just wanted to reach out and tell you I love you and your channel. Much love and support from a fellow redhead x
One time when I walked onstage there was a random piece of paper in the wings and it got stuck to my shoe, and then in a different dance I went off on the wrong side 😂
I once ran off stage before I was supposed to but it's ok cause it was still symmetrical because a person was missing that day. Then I just came back on when I was supposed to so no one except me and the teacher and probably some of the fellow dancers noticed.
Costume malfunctions are the WOOOOOORRRRRSSSSTTTT. One year, my studio did The Grinch for ballet and my group were the Whos, so we had wacky clothes and a very long head piece with candy canes and junk. It was held up by a plastic headband, which was weak. Not only that, but we had to PIN it so it wouldn't be NOTICED. BRUH. The headband was so thin, so it was really hard to pin it without it being noticable. During rehearsals I only had like 5 pins pinning it down, and it held in the whole entire time. So during the show I did the same thing. But when we did the sote arabesque leap (I'm bad with names), my headband FLOPPED FORWARD. It covered my face! And my group were on the stage for THREE MORE DANCES!!!!!!!
Once when I started dancing at my current studio we were supposed to start onstage and they forgot! They had the lights and music go up before we were at our places 😩 my sister and I just walked on stage doing the arms (it started with just arms anyways) while everyone else followed slightly awkwardly, lol. Also, last year we were performing in a convalescent home our music stopped 😭 luckily we knew the music well enough that we all just kept going. We stayed in sync the whole time, it was awesome! But still, I hate it when that happens!
My dance teachers are like never run off stage if you forget or anything, just keep going no matter what. If it is a group just follow others and if it is a solo, just make up a combination. They say the only time you can run off and they won't be mad is if your costume falls off and you are left with like no clothes or something.
Losing a toe pad during a quick change! (It happened to me my first ever pointe quick change it was not pretty and I was in snow scene for the nutcracker)
Okay back in my previous studio I was quite a fav for the teachers since I had been there for quite a lot so I got cast as Clara I was like omgggg when she said my name then when she said the fairy it was basically also me 😂😂 the plan was when the fairy scene would come the curtains would close and I would go have a very costume change and a another girl would be Clara meanwhile, until the next curtain close where another quick outfit change was to be done and the scene I was doing for the fairy was the very famous solo part . These 2 parts separately were very demandingggg so imagine them together . I tried telling them I can’t but the teacher kept persisting on me and saying I must since there is no one else which made me sad because all the others were super mad at me . Nonetheless I practiced them spending way more hours in the studio than I probably would have and 8 had to skip quite a few hours of school for but nothing too much they were extra hours . When the show day came the audience was literally full with no extra seat I had many of my school friends there and teachers there I did the Clara part really good and since I had practiced it was basically written in my head and then the costume change came .... I had to change the point shoes too since one was skin color the other was the basic light pink / almost white . With very little time I had to rush I forgot to tighten a ribbon of one of the shoes but it was tied a bit . I start and a few counts in I realized something was off . I continued after realizing and the performance was pretty smooth I go off stage I completely loosen it and boom a girl looks at it sees me nagging about it and steps on the ribbon( clearly purposely after seeing the camera ) I go see my upper leg bleeding a tad and bruised . I still went with the flow ignoring everything once I told the dance instructor they gave me a few more minutes to rest 2 to be fair and then the show went on I still had 7 shows left to dance and from the 6th I Apia’s almost gonna repeat the mistake but I was sure to make sure the ribbons were secured all in all I left the company that year and I joined a new one which isn’t stressing me at all ever since that day the 1st thing I do is check my ribbons and a little bit more anxiousness is added
i took a 2 week summer intensive and at the end of the 2 weeks, you would perform what dance(s) you learned in one of the studios. the wrong music kept playing and the performing dancers would just have to stand there until the right music played
I was performing a ballet piece and I had finished a flamenco piece right before and I had a pin in my skirt so it would fall and the pin fell in my ballet shoe and while performing the pin lodged itself into my foot and yeah i almost started crying on stage and i see my sister telling me to smile and right after i ran of stage and I cried🤗
this video was 3 years ago now but i was once performing and i went on stage at the wrong time and had to leave half way through while pretending to know the dance the seniors were doing
most of the time if your music starts to glitch or it stops the music tech will completely stop it to prevent it from playing one part of the music while you’re dancing to another, this has happened to me twice at competitions and once at a recital
Last spring i was in a performance for my dance school, and to tutu fell off, straps broke (they were clear and it was supposed to look stapless so the front came down) and my elastic on my shoes (they were normal canvas ballet shoes) broke. I also had my period. it was awful
i was very much freaking out when i had a really quick change once and actually had to run out from the wing without my HEAVY headpiece secured at ALL but somehow i managed to modify the dance just a little and do all my movements really tiny to keep the headpiece from falling off... except i actually used my hands mid dance to fix the headpiece as quickly as possible because it almost fell off (it was a wolf head x_x so it was kinda heavy)
there was someone who was new to pointe last year and she didn’t tie her ribbons very well, so they came untied, she forgot her prop too so she had to run off stage retie her shoes and grab her prop. it was rough
This is so relatable and also I almost had a wardrobe malfunction I had a hairpiece and it almost fell out and I quickly replaced it I was so embarrassed
Sorry to hassle you Mackenzie but I was wondering if you ship to the uk just curious love your vids by the way you inspired me to start ballet again !☺️
Mackenzie, I've only just subscribed to your channel but I love your channel so much. I'm hoping to start pointe work soon when my dance academy reopens after lockdown has ended
Pointe shoe fear : ur heel popping off while performing
GorgeousTuberAarya 428
Lol that happened to me on my first ever pointe performance 😂
: Vela : same it was so scary
GorgeousTuberAarya 428
Yeah thankfully it was okay cause there was a part in the dance where I had to kneel so I just fixed it then
: Vela :
Lucky! I had to just finish the dance with half my shoe falling off
Omg this happened to me too!!😂
another fear: not being ready at time (if you have to change) and coming out from the wrong wing
this has happened to me before!!
Changing a whole costume and shoes in 1 min and 30 seconds behind the curtains like crazy 🥵
Last Sunday I performed, and right when I came backstage to the wing, we had to go on stage. I was SO late I had no time backstage I just had to immediately perform on stage once I rushed into the wing

Why did u take that personally?
@@delilazolj244 cause she said it to me. Like not facing everyone in the room, no one else was near us. She was talking to ME.
Look At My Adorable Profile Pic yeah well you were the one who made the mistake who else is she supposed to say it to

Lol I accidentally pressed dislike then realized and it was like: and I oop-

Dancers biggest fears having their period during a performance

@@LabriesLife or with your pancake tutu...
One time I actually forgot like half of my variation and I just stood there on stage with a stupid face..oh god I swear I just wanted to cry😂
Lmao same happened to my ex dance teacher, she said she just continued dancing some random stuff and noone even noticed but her teacher was mad af afterwards😂
I forgot was I was doing once and kinda just ran in a circle

Isabella Farina when my strap fell off it was to late so I could catch it if you know what I mean
I ripped a hole in the butt of my Leo whole stretching... (imma gymnast not a dancer but)
It’s happened to me in acro class

That's happened to me too I just kept dancing till the music came back
I have fallen on my face, right in the middle front of the stage! it was so horrible but i was playing tweedle dee so it wasn't all bad... 😂😅
Cool! At least it was less noticeable since you were meant to be sorta dumb anyways!
7:51 is me at any given moment
same!
Biggest fear: passing out on stage in the middle of your dance.
What why? Was it stage fright or exhaustion or what?
god that's so scary, how? :(
Yeah I’ve done that too 😩
story timee
That intro was actually me getting cocky in my first pointe class lol
hahahahah
Dang she liked AND commented
BRUH I WAS AT A COMPETITION AND THEY PLAYED THE WRONG MUSIC.
I was at a competition and the music stopped in the middle of the dance😅 but we did well and got 2nd
Cassandra Doyle nice!
I learned the number in 3 hours dropped someone and had to make it look intentional but we still got through we don’t know if we made it to the finals coz of ✨COVID✨
I'm getting ready for opening night of my performance as I watch this!!😁Hoping none of this happens!😂
Hahahah omg good luck!!

Angela Smith ur right
ANYONE ELSE HAVE A FEAR OF GETTING THEIR PERIOD ON STAGE? WOW IM GETTING WAY TO COMFORTABLE ON RUclips.
Ommg meeeeeeeeee
It happened to me the day of my performance. And I was on a rainy field trip that morning so my hair got SOOO wet. My mom had to blow dry and flat iron it so I was almost late.
nothing wrong with talking about periods, half the world gets them
one time I watched a video of this man dancing, and he had THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RECOVERY I HAVE EVER SEEN.
and when you fall out of pointe it's never pretty 😔
jasmine Or when you’re doing a pirouette and you hit a slick spot of the floor your life flashes before your eyes
My name is jasmine too 😄

i would love a dance gifts video for the holidays!!
Costume fear: When you spill food on your costume
We are bot allowed to put are costumes on during dinner we put them on after dinner
when i ws 4 before i got on stage to do a duet thing with a grade 4 i spilled choclate on my costume 5 minets before i was on stage
A girl in my dressing room at nationals (their studio went so we took it after) spilled their Starbucks on their teammates costume and they were all fighting when we just stood there lol 😂 they still had to use their costume later 😬
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
When I was a party girl the hooks were broken on my dress and we didn’t know, so it kept unbuckling on stage during the first performance. I had to be sewed in the costume for the rest of the performances
vessel in the back, oml I love you even more 🥺🖤

I would think other options exist to avoid safety pins. Sounds too dangerous.
When I did performing arts and dance shows, I used to be so scared of wrong foot at the wrong time and wrong entrance/exit
I literally have an audition today. Why Mackenzie? lmao I love you girl!
Oml, music stopping freaks me out so much! At my dancing studio everyone gets a senior solo and one year this girl had her music cut out on her but she kept going and when the music came on her timing was so on point that she was exactly where it was supposed to be. She's a freaking legend and I'm terrified of just losing my music because I have the worst timing without music
and this is why i’m glad show season is over
and competition season starts in 2 months 😙✌🏼
Not anymore Corona took over
I’m always afraid that I’m gonna get mixed up and accidentally go on stage when it’s not my turn yet and so I end up checking with the stage manager like a million times
I'm a dancer too. I love your channel. I'm typing to also make my channel based on dance but I have no ideas and not a good camera😵😘✌️
same I'm currently using my iPhone 6
once my friend was doing a pointe solo (in front of a bunch of young girls and in front of her whole dance team- im on the team btw) and the wood floor in the studio was slippery and she just fell flat on her butt. she just rolled out of it gracefully and continued dancing. i thought it was actually intentional. she did a great job just going with it!!

love u mackenzieeeeee
also u should try ice skating sometime :)
edit: i rly love u cuz watching ur videos helps me with my form cuz i figure skate
when you can feel your shoe dying while dancing and eventually the shoe ends up completely dead and you sprain an ankle, true story
So I have two lol 👌
1. A few years ago I had 2 dances to get changed into a ballet dance. As I pulled up my stocking they ripped all up my thigh, I had no time to get new ones or borrow someone else’s. I had to dance with a huge rip on my thigh (it had also ripped across to the other thigh while I danced) it was stressful 😅
2. The year before that my ballet shoes did not fit me, I did not know what happened (they fit my the night before) so I had to borrow someone else’s, their dance was 4 after mine so after my dance I had to run down to her while she was lining up for her dance 😅😅
I probably shouldn’t have watched this so close to my dance concert
I've fallen on stage. It can be very scary, but you've got to just keep dancing.
I was doing a solo once in a black leo and tights wearing white under wear according to my teacher the stage lighting made it transparent so the audience could see my underwear I've never worn under wear in class or stage since
Girlll! Probably not you're average watcher lol im 21, never danced, but love watching ballet and other styles. And really regret not doing ballet lol I did gymnastics but that's it. Sorry for my irrelevant information but just wanted to reach out and tell you I love you and your channel. Much love and support from a fellow redhead x
thank you for watching!
Some schools have adult beginners classes if you still want to start ballet you can
the one with the music stopping happed to me at a gymnastics meet and that was my first year competing
You are the most beautiful dancer and I could just watch you dance all day
Can you please do a video called how to do a pump turn and a fouetté?
One time when I walked onstage there was a random piece of paper in the wings and it got stuck to my shoe, and then in a different dance I went off on the wrong side 😂
7:07 once i learned a hip hop dance literally the day before the recital and that was our whole 9 kids during the whole dance💀😂
I have that same costume
omg i didn’t know you liked tøp!! also you are literally my idol💜💙
Love your merchhhh you should be so proud of ypurself
Thank you!!
I once ran off stage before I was supposed to but it's ok cause it was still symmetrical because a person was missing that day. Then I just came back on when I was supposed to so no one except me and the teacher and probably some of the fellow dancers noticed.
Love you’re videos and keep up the good work xx

I’m not a dancer but I ride horses and my biggest fear when I go is forgetting my snack-
Fears that I have when dancing are kinda falling off my box (ya know?) Or kicking too hard and slipping 😅😅
Luv this video!! I am buying merchandise the now
Once when I started dancing at my current studio we were supposed to start onstage and they forgot! They had the lights and music go up before we were at our places 😩 my sister and I just walked on stage doing the arms (it started with just arms anyways) while everyone else followed slightly awkwardly, lol.

Are music stop to
Forgetting on stage is my biggest fear :/ or falling on stage it's an embarrassing
Can you do a try on haul of all your merch soon? 🤩🤩🤩
i dance on my high school’s dance team and our music has stopped multiple times so im used to it at this point lol
im starting ballet and im getting into dance classes!
Love this video!! Keep it up

When the show day came the audience was literally full with no extra seat I had many of my school friends there and teachers there I did the Clara part really good and since I had practiced it was basically written in my head and then the costume change came .... I had to change the point shoes too since one was skin color the other was the basic light pink / almost white . With very little time I had to rush I forgot to tighten a ribbon of one of the shoes but it was tied a bit . I start and a few counts in I realized something was off . I continued after realizing and the performance was pretty smooth I go off stage I completely loosen it and boom a girl looks at it sees me nagging about it and steps on the ribbon( clearly purposely after seeing the camera ) I go see my upper leg bleeding a tad and bruised . I still went with the flow ignoring everything once I told the dance instructor they gave me a few more minutes to rest 2 to be fair and then the show went on I still had 7 shows left to dance and from the 6th I Apia’s almost gonna repeat the mistake but I was sure to make sure the ribbons were secured all in all I left the company that year and I joined a new one which isn’t stressing me at all ever since that day the 1st thing I do is check my ribbons and a little bit more anxiousness is added
My little cousin is in the Scottish school of ballet and is in her 2nd year xx also I horseride
You’re videos are very relatable don’t worry! You are great at ballet and YouTubing. Thank you 😃
Somebody accidentally played the wrong music for our recital and didn’t notice so we had to dance to the wrong song for a whole dance
i took a 2 week summer intensive and at the end of the 2 weeks, you would perform what dance(s) you learned in one of the studios. the wrong music kept playing and the performing dancers would just have to stand there until the right music played
Can someone tell me what the song she danced to is called?
I can't relate to fearing about forgetting your dance but I do musical theatre and i worry about forgetting lines
yeah once i was at a national comp and a really pretty girls really pretty costumes skirt just like fell
I was performing a ballet piece and I had finished a flamenco piece right before and I had a pin in my skirt so it would fall and the pin fell in my ballet shoe and while performing the pin lodged itself into my foot and yeah i almost started crying on stage and i see my sister telling me to smile and right after i ran of stage and I cried🤗
this video was 3 years ago now but i was once performing and i went on stage at the wrong time and had to leave half way through while pretending to know the dance the seniors were doing
Early!! You make my day every time!!♡♡♡
most of the time if your music starts to glitch or it stops the music tech will completely stop it to prevent it from playing one part of the music while you’re dancing to another, this has happened to me twice at competitions and once at a recital
Last spring i was in a performance for my dance school, and to tutu fell off, straps broke (they were clear and it was supposed to look stapless so the front came down) and my elastic on my shoes (they were normal canvas ballet shoes) broke. I also had my period. it was awful
the music stopping happened to me at nationals and we just carried on and without music for the whole thing it was so awkward 😂
i was very much freaking out when i had a really quick change once and actually had to run out from the wing without my HEAVY headpiece secured at ALL but somehow i managed to modify the dance just a little and do all my movements really tiny to keep the headpiece from falling off... except i actually used my hands mid dance to fix the headpiece as quickly as possible because it almost fell off (it was a wolf head x_x so it was kinda heavy)
there was someone who was new to pointe last year and she didn’t tie her ribbons very well, so they came untied, she forgot her prop too so she had to run off stage retie her shoes and grab her prop. it was rough
When I forget my dance
I remember when I was like 8 I messed up a dance and right when I got off stage I cried 😂
Loving this video! ❤❤
This is so relatable and also I almost had a wardrobe malfunction I had a hairpiece and it almost fell out and I quickly replaced it I was so embarrassed
Hey what variation are you doing in this video?
I have never thought about any off this we go over the dance once and play games to calm nerves but now this is all I will think about
