    I just did my first adult beginner ballet lesson and decided to sign up to ballet school. Thank you so much for your videos, you really inspired me to give it a try even after about 10 studios and schools telling me no I kept trying and finally found the perfect ballet school with many other adult beginners. Love from Mexico 💖

    Your videos are so needed. There are unfortunately a lot of unhealed unhappy people in this world, but it needs examples of people like you that show that it’s okay to be seen for who you truly are, and it’s okay that who you truly are shines brightly. Even if your presence conflicts with someone’s world view, even if it upsets them, it’s needed as an example of the kind of happiness and contentment that’s possible for them too. 🌟

    I’m preparing my body and mind to start my first ballet class at 17 this September and every time I find myself discouraged about starting late I always say to myself “if Veronica Viccora can do it, so can I”. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and experiences as you give me so much confidence and make me feel so much better about myself and my dance journey ❤❤❤

    Love your videos so much. I danced when I was a little child and stopped when I was supposed to go on point. I just started again in my twenties and your videos are such a big motivation to keep going no matter how much I suck 😅❤️

    • @VeronicaViccora
      @VeronicaViccora  3 месяца назад +1

      We all suck at first! I like to think of us adult beginners as gems hidden in rocks. Every ballet class is just a little chip away at the rock, refining and refining until we get to the gem inside💎 you’ve got this! ❤

    I'm so glad that you uploaded today! I think I binged all of youe vlogs a few months ago and they really inspired me to get back into ballet. I really relate to the "do I even like this" thoughts. I got back into ballet when I was living in college dorms a few months ago and I didn't have the time or space to practice. But, now that I am back home and can practice, consistancy is hard and as a beginner, the moves are challeninging. Watching this gives me more inspiration 💖

    • @VeronicaViccora
      @VeronicaViccora  3 месяца назад +3

      Oooof I feeeeel you! The consistency can be the hardest thing at first, especially when everything feels so foreign. I promise you though, overtime it really is crazy how much your body adapts. Thank you so much for taking time to leave a kind comment❤ I’m rooting for you!

    Never commented before but been watching and cheering for you! I've been dancing classical ballet since I was 3 and decided to stop at 20. I like it but it was not my dream but someones else that got me into it. YOU've chosen to it by yourself, you do it and therefore you're the real ballerina. It's your dream and you making it come true.

    I'm an 18 year old who just graduated high school, and at the beginning of this year I went back to my old ballet studio after not dancing for 4 years. I love dancing so so much but sometimes I have a hard time feeling behind everyone especially being the second oldest at the studio, and I'm always seeing incredibly talented dancers. So I went on RUclips looking for people with similar experiences, and I found your videos! I've realized how special it is to be an adult ballet dancer, though I haven't been an adult for long lol, so thank you for showing me!

    • @VeronicaViccora

    I think is so great that you put yourself out there to learn something new and challenging! 👏🏼 I am a professional ballet dancer, working in Europe, and I believe that ballet done with joy can be so healthy for the mind, the body and the soul. I can imagine it might feel overwhelming at first and maybe as human beings we want to see progress immediately, but keep having fun and discovering yourself into the discipline! Greetings 🤍

    Yes! Thank you for expressing your thoughts and feelings of overwhelm, feeling inspired, and that it's ok to be SEEN! I'm also at that point of wanting to do many things and then end up doing nothing because of overwhelm or don't know where to start. I miss being creative and it's currently too hot to go to the Botanical Garden where I live. You've inspired me to look for other ways/avenues to still express myself and have creative outlets. LOVE!

    frequently felt this way. ballet isn't my main style anymore, I switched to house, but even when ballet was my obsession for 7 years, I always did contemporary, street jazz, global fusion, etc.. because the burnout was so real and I needed breaks. Plus I realized I could accomplish my dance dreams as an adult learner in other styles, and I got sick of not being able to dance socially/at events.
