    2:15 Thank you so much for bringing up Hypermobility! I danced for over two decades and my instructors were always impressed with my insane, natural flexibility. Turns out I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and now that I'm in my 30s I'm REALLY paying for all my years of over excessive stretching. Most days I can barely keep my joints in the sockets. I really worry for both younger and future generations that are being taught at such a young age to bend and stretch their bodies in such extreme ways. Always listen to your body! 💖

      I have EDS too and it's super painful now :( I made a really difficult decision to continue dancing even though it really hurts. I really really work on pain management every night and I can't dance every day that I want to but I just do every day that I can, bc I know I'm probably going to be in a wheelchair either part or full time someday either way. I've been working really hard to manage it with the right therapists and I'm hoping it goes okay for a little longer! It's sooooo hard to hear that part when we get diagnosed :( 'the worst thing for this is ballet'.......wtf do you mean?!?!?!

    I absolutely love watching dancers prepare for YAGP because when I was a young dancer I was supposed to compete in YAGP back in like 2006 (or something like that) and never got the opportunity to. Every year I'm always glued to my screen watching the videos from every YAGP because these young dancers worked so hard and they deserve a bigger audience.

    Please do more of these!! Any dancers 🩰 who want to perform any parts! I can watch it ALL DAY! The way you critique is very nice, (and the addition of pointe shoe critique is quite helpful)!! I love it 💕 ooO and maybe even before and after performances where you refit shoes for them and later show them dancing another part. I love that these aren’t just short clips and cuts, rather you allow them to dance through the whole section from a piece.

    At my dance studio we do a big ballet every year at recital. This years is Sleeping Beauty and I have a solo variation. I am doing the Songbird variation which is a quick 30 second variation but it’s one of the fastest variations of the ballet (which is 14 minutes long). Watching this video was very entertaining and actually helped me know what to focus on for my variation! :)

Then there is this magic that happens when two kind and open minded friends share a conversation! This is such a pleasure in itself! I am convinced that this is something special that you really should consider to continue! I can see that this could win people for ballet who otherwise never would spare a thought for it!
