I want a tourist guides tell their horror stories, and street dancers too.
This is a great idea
Ooh, I like your tourist guide idea.
Lol
I *am* a tourist's horror story.
As a tourist guide I would like to hear other tourist guides horror stories 😆
Lena’s first story gave so much anxiety, like, getting your ribbon to untied in the middle of the performance?? Congrats everything went right
RIGHT. That's definitely happened to me and I freaked out
Ha my name’s Lena its even spelled the same as mine
Nicole Foti I don’t do pointe. But that’s happened to me. I’ve done tap, and my tap shoes have came untied.
But isn't that tension more than a horror story?
I can see how anybody would be freaking out the whole time, but it's more about what might happen than what did.
Faceplanting into the first 3 rows of the audience would be a horror story.
@@recoil53 horror story is a vague term but ok
I never realized the dancers talked to each other onstage!
Bea Badjar I do all the time! 😂 Me and my friend have a little giggle with wachover
Almost everyone in my class does XD we just try to not look suspicious and try not to open our mouths too big to talk
Same. I do dance and I’ve always been told we aren’t meant to. If your performing you shouldn’t be talking to the person next to you
Same I've always been told whatever you do don't talk
We are told strictly no talking but sometimes you can get away with it lol
I was expecting the girl to throw up, I didn’t expect that one-
Me too
SAME
Same
Sameeeeeeed
SAMEEEE
y’all need to fire the editor that only edited her left eye in the thumbnail lol
Lololol 🤣🤣🤣
I wouldn’t say fire but educate them
Kill ya produca!
James Rivera twas a joke
Oh my God 😅
horror story: one time i was dancing as clara in the nutcracker and i got my period at the beginning of act 2 and i couldn’t go offstage (i was wearing a white nightgown)
oof, that was my fear, since i was 13, that i would start it during my performance. luckily all of my clara costumes were red lol
Omg for shows our Leos have to be white and this year my period is sorta lining up with our performance day and I am terrified
Justin Seagull gurlll be prepared just in case because getting your period while dancing in a white leotard is the worst
Mewing Manda I will! Im gonna be wearing a tampon at all times. Hopefully we gonna be good 😬😂
I would always put a liner in my leotard even if my periods weren't coming soon, getting my periods during a show would be my nightmare!!😂
“on point(e) literally.” aghhh
Lira Jade check me out! I’m a violinist
@@blountjuice4932 can you kindly stfu

Hi
4:00 I thought the little girl vomited . That would be horrible 😂😂
Lol same
Same!!

My sister got her period during class partner stretching. Her partner let her know and she ran to the bathroom. Ugggg I feel bad for her 😖
I'm glad the partner was nice enough to tell her though
that sucks , if that happened to me i would quit my school
Тэгшээ Тэгшжаргал lmaooo same
Oh nooo i bet her school didn't allow the students to wear their underwear. My school allows it and on recitals it's not allowed but we wear them anyways lol
@@chess4072 wish I never thought people weren't allowed to wear underwear 🥴
For a Halloween special they should do horror stories with actors from haunted houses
I'm a haunt actor and trust me we have lots of stories
*Haunted*
Oh my god, I have so many stories. 😂
Is this Kate I’m min from ur prim school
Mintin 737 Huh?
As a dancer I know the horror of your shoes coming on tied on stage. It is so scary.
I don’t do point but I do everything this else and I think tap shoes are the scariest
Tap shoes are scary, but until you go en point I don’t think you realize the pain, and if the ribbons come undone, ha, lord help us!
Magenta Wilhelmi check me out! I’m a violinist
Mackenzie Raffety ya my mom is a dance teacher so I get to sit and watch everything at competitions and class I have seen the pain 🙂
Magenta Wilhelmi once it happened to me in jazz or tap I don’t remember and I just didn’t do anything
Last story sounds like dance moms
lmaoo
i was about to comment that lol
unicorn lover Lmaooo right?!?! I thought the EXACT same thing !!
Yep
Ikr!
LMAO IM NOT EVEN WATCHING THE VIDEO BUT THEY EDITED THE GIRL ON THE RIGHT’S EYE TO BE WHITER
Hannah Cate Silver BAHHAHAHAA
Lmfao I didn't even noticed
Lol super weird
Once you see it it can't be unseen whyyy
Ok bro u trippin
Dance horror story: I had a solo on pointe and was told to keep my pointe shoes on until I had done my part of the dress rehearsal. Every time I tried to take the pointe shoes off I got told off. So I kept them on for... five hours. Nobody told me I had the final dance. When I finally went on stage I couldn’t feel any of my toes so couldn’t get up on pointe. Ugh 😑
Hey Emmy Boo I GET ITTT!! THE TEACHER FORGOT TO PRACTICE OUR DANCE BEFORE THE RECITAL WHILE WE HAD POINT FOR 2 HOURS WAITING. THEY CAME TO GET US AND JUST SAID
“Oh we forgot about you guys. Go get ready for your actual first dance”
I WAS LIKE FRICK!!!!!
Nah, you're just a moron
Hey Emmy Boo check me out! I’m a violinist
That's horrible! I can hardly wear mine for like 20 mins before my feet cramp up and hurt😂😬
InfiniteLoop how?
Real talk: The rat king didn't "lose" her costume. She wanted to go on stage with a pretty outfit.
Lmao
That is highly unlikely. A professional would not do that to embarrass themselves lol...
Lindsay Haugen yasss😂😂
The kings a she?
@@papadia5559 did you... watch the video?
I got my first period in the intermission of the nutcracker
That is so lucky though that it wasn’t on stage so I hope you had time to do something about it
I would be SOOOOO mad at the girl that lost her costume omgg
I would have LOST MY MIND
Rhiannon George and eaten her right
@@getpaid2472 ..... why would I eat her?
GetPaid247 u got problems hah
Yeah wouldn’t there be people that help her find it?
When I was a ballerina (left it about five years ago. Medical reasons) my teacher told me to put my arms over my head and to put my knees up to my chest and he picked me up (I was 4'10" at the time) and he squished me. ALL MY BONES CRACKED. I then found out that he did it to everyone else in the room and it was a weird streching technique. Whack.
Karla Martinez OMG r u okay?
Yeah, I felt like Jello right after but it's been years, I'm totally fine.
Does he also do that to people that aren't ballerinas? lol I need a proper back crack :D
Imagine a history prof doing that
*_squish_*
check me out! I’m a violinist Karla Martinez
Horror story: my first quick change was during a recital when I had a LOT of dances. I had a blackout and about 3 8 counts to change tights, shoes, hair, headpieces, and costumes. I ran off stage into the pitch black side room and people were helping me and I got onto stage at the right time. I thought everything was good. BUT we were doing a circle and my friend casually whispered that my costume was on backwards midway through the dance. Thankfully I was fully covered and the only difference from the front and back was patterned beading but it was stressful.
I stopped going to ballet classes when I was little (7) because my teacher disliked me because I was chubby.
Jessica Mompoint oh.... they do that a lot. Happens all the time in my ballet school and almost happened to me. I think it’s still not late for you to restart :)
My daughter isn't the slim she dose well she practice almost everyday.
@@saukyasmith7978 That's great but when your instructor is staring at you with disgust on her face, it's a bit off putting.
@@challengemeneo I did ballet as movement while getting my associate's degree but it's no longer something I have interest in. I'm interested in kick boxing, yoga and archery.
Jessica Mompoint Well then I believe you should keep doing what you enjoy instead ^^
Lena’s mom is a savage
Iteboheng Langeni check me out! I’m a violinist
Nobody:
People that don't remember what 1st position even means: "i DiD bAlLeT wHeN i WaS 5"
🙄🙄🙄 I hate that
Lmao I actually did do ballet when I was 5 but it is really annoying when people say they're like professionals at something they only did a few times when they were smaller
I did ballet when I was younger, but I had to stop when I moved because there was no place nearby to continue dancing.
I only remember first and fourth but I do miss doing ballet cause I did for four or five years
ikr it’s so annoying
Dance horror story: I was a doll in the Nutcracker and got carried on sideways by one of the party scene “fathers”. The father who carried me on dropped me
Zoe Scone THIS LITERALLY HAPPENED TO ME TWO YEARS IN A ROW AND IT WAS MY OWN FATHER WHO WAS CARRYING ME
I was one of the soldier dolls in the box, I got really dizzy when they spun us around while we were still inside and when we had to pop out of the box I was super close to falling over
Ouch! Happened to me as well.
That happened to me too! Naturally the drop was on film because it was the show they tapped 😂😢
PLEASE DO FIGURE SKATERS TELL THEIR HORROR STORIES OMG
ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ yes I have so many
Uhuh, we all have them - even us male skaters
no I don’t want that ptsd
Nobody can top Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding!
@@supershmueli Nobody said you didn't
what other ballet dancer can’t watch this without cringing😫
Meeeeee
a lil bit qt ME.
Me Oml the pictures of the first girl in the beginning were so badddd
MEEEEEEEEEE
I'm like going on google looking for "how to not do a disaster on stage"
Ballerinas are the best artists EVER! Dancing is creating a sculpture that is visible only for a moment; ballerinas are the engine that keep that sculpture alive for ever. Great one, As/Is.😍
yess i loved this!! i figure skate which is similar, but ballet tho😍😍
I don't figure skate or do ballet I do irish dancing
Girl: I danced at Disneyland!
Buzzfeed: *inserts Disneyland’s Paris castle instead
Paola Chavez It’s not a big deal sis, it’s just a picture, still Disneyland related lol
That bugged me SO much.
.... But, that's Disneyland, right?
Is there another Disneyland that I don't know of????
DLP is still Disney! My daughter’s school danced there this summer.
Guys, she clearly meant Disneyland in Anaheim. Disneyland Paris's castle is totally different. Honestly, I'm surprised no one caught that in editing...
“...but in the end I made him proud and that’s all I really wanted to do.” AWH MY HEART 💕
Dance is so competitive. That’s is the real horror story. Lol JK
I would PAY to see that mouse king v fairy . Literally about to cry laughing picturing it
SAME!! XD
LOOK AT THE THUMBNAIL
LOOK AT THE GIRL ON THE RIGHT
LOOK CLOSELY AT HER EYES
LMAOOO
Why is her left eye whited out like that??? @_@

uhhh dana lol what about it?
When I was four I did ballet and we had a huge group performance where I was a pixie but I sat there the entire time picking my nose and eating it. The whole thing was video taped - for everyone to see. Forever.
I have low iron deficiency which at this time i was unaware of and i have a weird bone structure in my feet which causes them to cramp up all the time. it was a solid three seconds of me stepping out of the curtain, i did a front kick and my bottom foot completely shot out from under me, i honestly had such a good recovery and fell weirdly gracefully so i thought i was good. then about another 10 seconds of our dance go by and i step down on my foot and roll over my ankle because it went completely numb. in the heat of the moment i had no clue what was going on so i tried to stand on it again and just fell to the floor. i wasn’t able to stand at all so i had to CRAWL ON ALL FOURS OFF THE MIDDLE OF THE STAGE. i was bawling my eyes out backstage while someone was trying to get the cramp out of my foot as i’m also trying to change into my ballet costume because it would be coming up in one dance. i was about 20 seconds late coming onto stage for my ballet dance but i found a perfect time to run on stage and right as i ran out a girl threw her arms into a high v and smacked my face and hit my eye which was covered in wet mascara from crying that just got smeared everywhere. i then had to do three more very upbeat high energy dances which i cried through the whole time. and just to add a cherry on top this was the first time my very first boyfriend had ever seen me dance.
alanna sommer-smith you poor thing...
damn thoughts and prayers cri
Wait foot cramps come from iron deficiency? If so, that explains why I can’t point my toes without getting cramps!! Is that right? I would love to know!
girl: we were playing the nutcracker, a classic. and we HAD TO GET IT RIGHT
i'm guessing something didn't go right
I was dancing for a competition and I had this really tight body suit on as my costume, we covered it with a shiny triangle thing in the front. We went on stage and I danced with full energy giving it my all, I looked around and everyone had horror faces and were mouthing things to me but I could not understand what anyone was saying. When I got off stage everyone pulled me and asked me to go to the bathroom and that's when I realised my triangle shiny thing had fallen off and I just had displayed things I really didnt want to my entire school.
When I was in dance everybody was just starting to go through puberty and after dress rehearsal for the end-of-year showcase, all the moms had to make "emergency" trips to buy us bras. The stage lights made our lil mosquito bites very visible, apparently. Now I'm all for freeing the nipple, but I sure wasn't back then.
I feel like I can guess what the thing was...

@@blountjuice4932 im sorry but could you please stop commenting that on like every single comment
The biggest plot twist in The Nutcracker: The Rat King was the Sugar Plum Fairy in disguise all along.
Horror story: I was at an audition for the nutcracker at my ballet school, and as I was putting on my pointe shoes, my ribbon came unsewed (and there was n time to resew) and I had to audition with one secure ribbon and one just tucked in awkwardly!
And how did it go?
Francisca Tripodi it went well actually!
I can feel how graceful they are in every manner THROUGH the screen
Their way of speaking reflects the elegance of the art they perform
I have an horror story ^^ I'm 17 and this happened two years ago. My -small- company was doing the nutcracker and I was dancing the Spanish dance as a soloist, I was in a very bad state of mind at that time of my life and hadn't learned how to live with anxiety yet so I was handling my life very poorly. So basically this solo had me having several mental breakdowns and hating myself for not living up to my own expectations. So now that you have context, my solo was the last dance I had for the night, all the other dances went smoothly and I was satisfied enough with myself (surprisingly) but I was SO FREAKING STRESSED for my solo, I was shaking really badly and basically had no confidence. So I'm on the side of the stage waiting and there's still one song before it's my turn but for unknown reasons, my song comes first and I am not prepared at all, so I'm on the side panicking and I simply don't feel capable of going on stage so late and improvising. The music stops and my dance teacher says in the microphone that it's an error and we'll start again. The music starts again (still in the wrong order) I go on stage shaking like crazy still freaking out. I'm not even 20seconds in and suddenly, it's a black hole I can't remember anything and I freeze on stage silently panicking and trying to remember but literally nothing goes in my mind. In my head I'm going "oh my god this is happening I'm freezing on stage and I have no idea what to do" out of complete despair I run off the stage (I still cannot forgive myself for that) I literally run in my friend arms and cry until the music stops, again, and my teacher talks on the mic, again, she was so chill and she just came to me reassuring me saying it'll be fine, I'm a crying mess with 0 confidence and she just get me back on stage while smiling to me and she talked to the audience, I don't remember what she said but the audience clapped and she said we would just rehearse on the stage live, so she's with me and we're doing the steps together and at the exact moment we went through the moment I froze the whole choreography came. back to my mind and I was like "obviously". So we end our "live rehearsal" the audience clapped again and I re did the whole dance like nothing had happened and I think I actually did good. When I was finished I went backstage to end properly my panic attack and finished the show. Later on my teacher whom i love dearly praised me and many people praised me. It took me so long to accept what happened and to admit that i actually did good afterwards but now i know it's a good experience i learned from and i am forever grateful to my teacher who saved me and didn't let me give up, also she handled the situation so well I could never thank her enough ^^ (sorry if the way I'm telling the story is clumsy english isn't my first language)
Oh my, I'm so sorry that happened to you and I'm really glad in the end worked out so nicely, I hope you are doing better now 😊
Poor u
You poor sweet dearheart.... Also your teacher sounds So Lovely.
@@adiposeNarnian yes she's the sweetest ^^
don’t take God’s Name in vein and capitalize the G! 🥰
my horror story was that i had nutcracker auditions when i was about twelve. earlier that morning i had gotten my period for the first time. i was like “whatevs imma just tampon is like whatever” since it was my first one i put it in the wrong place and was bleeding through my audition. i just wanted to leave but this super nice teacher gave me pants and that was that. i still think about it and it makes me cringe.
The last one is literally the Maddy-Chloe situation lmao
somebody stole my pointe shoes 1 week before a show
AdiKeys405 Keys oh god, that’s horrible
AdiKeys405 Keys check me out! I’m a violinist

Your feet liked that
@@kellytan4742 some cost a lot and you have to sew your own pointe shoes
I got kicked in the face with a pointe shoe during a performance, so that was fun 😂
ouch that hurts
Oh no! that must’ve hurt so much 😰
Lena’s last story was so dance moms 😂
watching this before nutcracker rehearsal. kind of scared now.
I’m sure it’ll be great! :)
same
Bad move. How did it go?
Oh no... Well this yeah I was a angel then I ummm... I hit the sugar plum fairy and she almost fell over WHILE DOING BORRES EN POINTE! Yeah sorry if I spelled something wrong I am really bad at spelling ballet terms
I never got far into dance so I never had any true 'horror' stories but when I was young I joined a new dance company that was really small and there were only a couple of other girls in my class. As time went on more and more girls stopped coming until it was just me for months. There was a performance at the end of the year essentially to show mastery but since I was the only girl left in the class I was going to have to do it as a solo. Then before the performance one of the girls came back, she had no idea what we were doing since she was gone for so long and I had to perform with her when she just copied everything I did. I was pretty upset about it because I had worked hard on the performance for a long time and she just stepped in and took away from my hard work
I had something very similar happen to me, the girl was given special parts and I was really upset because I had worked really hard, the girl ended up dropping it right before the performance
Ughh, I hate that!!
that's so b*tchy tho, even if it's not her all fault
So I have another ballet horror story, my dad used to be a professional ballet dancer. At one point in a dance that he was performing, both him and his partner were supposed to spin to the left in unison but for some reason his partner span to the right. Her head crashed into his nose and suddenly he was in a lot of pain. He finished the seance and went backstage he was obviously in pain but he thought he had just bruised his nose butttttttt....... for the second half of the ballet he had wear a mask and it pressed again his nose and suddenly he was in so much pain. The choreographer told him to go to hospital. Turns out he’d broken his nose.
Ouch! Your dad is a trooper
I was kicked out of ballet school when I was five years old for refusing to spit out my gum. I've been told I could have been a great dancer, but honestly, no regrets.
Lol
I can assure the ballet world has zero regrets too
I mean, if you danced while chewing gum you could have choked but ok..
Savage
I just laughed at this
I love Lena's story telling. She explained in a minute everything that was going through her mind merely seconds before she fell.
I quit ballet when I was 5 because it was interfering with my tv time🤣
Lorraine A priorities am i right 😂 haha you do you boo ! 🔥
Lorraine A me with swim
Lorraine A check me out! I’m a violinist
This just made me laugh out loud😂
Blount Juice no loser
both girls are honestly so beautiful 🥺
please make a video on speech language pathologists/audiologists share their horror stories!!
Boring
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!
Oh my god this brought back memories of one of my ballet exams. Now I was stressed but I knew I had the routine down so I along with the other girls stretched and we entered the room. All of the routine went great I felt like I was dancing on air, the examiner was smiling. It was great. Until... my heel AND my ankle on my right foot (my goddamn dominant foot) just sprained so I was in violent pain but I was not about screw up my score so I was dancing and gritting my teeth into a smile. Unfortunately the examiner noticed STOPPED THE ROUTINE and told my to go home (nicely obvs he knew it wasn't my fault) because I was injured. I was both mortified and relieved. Luckily I got a great score unluckily I couldn't dance for weeks. Edit:ok I know everyone hates this but... Omg thank you guys. Who knew that my embarrassment could be a source of people's laughter 😅
When I can't dance for a week or something, I'm always like: Can I still dance??? 😂😂😂
@@annie.thomas15 yesssss, it's so annoying!
God* and don’t take God’s Name in vein! 🥰
Did ballet for nine years and tap for four years intertwined. And it was my world and sometimes I miss it but it was extremely stressful.
'A dancer dies twice; first when she stops dancing and this death is the most painful.'
-Matha Graham
I love that quote.
I want Universal Studios Employee’s tell horror stories
My daughter started ballet in March. We had to stop in June for the season and haven’t started back because we’ve moving. She got so sick after her recital in June and found out she’d done the whole performance with pneumonia. Her school performed at Disneyland Paris.
Dance teacher: today we are doing pirouettes
Me: I'm going to be the best at this I'm great at this
Also me: *hits multiple people while spinning*
the one with the ribbon coming untied made me so anxious like gurl-
The firebird on the beach hit in a different way
I was so disappointed when she said the girl sneezed on her... it was a huge set up for a full on vomit story
Lindsey H same
I have seen a young child vomit on stage. wasn’t fun
Haha I thought she was gonna vomit too
I was so glad that she didn't vomit
I honestly thought that one of the dance mom's dancer's would be on here because BOY do they have so stories....
Rebecca Ivie check me out! I’m a violinist
Blount Juice don’t self promote, all it does it make people annoyed.
@@micklejuiice3364 And she's said the same thing on the majority of comments Ive read, too. Lol
The fact that Rebecca didn't tell us where the mouse king costume really was, is gonna keep me up at night for a while now
It's always watching...
I used to dance, and all those stories are so relatable!! And YES! Moms are crazy fierce, they are the behind the scenes force.
This is such a good video! Love this channel.
My horror story: So once I had A Solo on a beautiful peice. So I did my hair, my makeup. As I got ready to put my costume on ( it was almost my turn ) I didn't find it. Turns out I left it at home. So I was freaking out and my teacher just gave me my friends tutu and was like: " this'll do! " I got on stage and as I was halfway through the dance one of my pointed shoes untied itself. And I didn't notice. I was too focused on getting everything right. So I did a leap and fell flat on the floor. Everything went silent all I could hear was the song playing.I looked at the judges and burst out crying. It hurts I couldn't get up! I heard some giggles from the audience, and two men had to lift me off the stage cause I was just there laying on the ground. It was my moment to shine! I didn't place! But hey at least I can laugh about it now!
Spill the tea sisss sounds a bit fake
Oh I feel bad that's awful
WE NEEDED THIS OMG THANKYOU OMG

In a ballet one time I was doing fouettés and my supporting leg slid right out from under me and I fell really hard in my hip and I like rolled over before getting up. It was soooooo bad. Everyone cheered when I got back up and I was like "why are you cheering? I just fell on my rear!"
My ribbon came untied on stage while coincidentally doing the dance of the little swans as well 💀. But not only did it become untied, the ribbon came clean off once it was stepped on. Some things you just have to smile through and pray for the best 😂👌🏻.
This was such a great video!!
Once I did a dance performance and we were about to go on stage and there was a band that would play two songs after us, we are getting ready and we here the band start to play so we had to jump around for 10 minutes before doing a hard dance where a lot of things went wrong including my wig falling of on stage and a other girl standing in the middle of the stage instead on the side.
Where my dancers at?
👇🏼
Edit: omg thanks for all the likes
I’m a small RUclipsr and I’m just amazed right now lol so thank y’all so much!!!🥰
I'm here🎤
Me!
My 4 year old is a dancer! I always wanted to be when I was younger.
I didn’t think this comment would have this many likes so thank you!
I have a channel if you wanna check it out 😊
Me!
I quit dance at 8 or 9 and returned to it at 14 pretty much starting at zero but, hard work really takes you far and after a year and 5ish months and I’m catching up! Dance is my passion ❤️ nothing makes me feel so good
OMG The Nutcracker and Fairy story was hilarious! I could just imagine how confused the audience must have been LMAO.
1:38
Welp next time I see a dance on a stage I'm gonna be wondering what there talking about 😂
Where r my ballet dancers at?!
🙌🙌🙌
Lenaaaaa 🔥 makeup, outfit, accessories, nails = perfection
Ballerinas are really having a moment I love it
Love these videos, this is probably my favorite one so far
Omg i did a point dance once in the nutcracker and one of the dancers FELL and broke her arm in the middle of the dance but she just kept going and it was so bad and we were only on the first preformance
Nina Sayers: “y’all got nothing on me”
More of these please!
I love these. I've never been remotely interested in ballet but people's stories are so interesting it can literally be about anything and they are fun to hear. The one with the nutcracker was hilarious. I'm just picturing the nutcracker slaying a little girl.
Me and my friends have normal conversations on stage we were once talking about what we have for lunch LMAO
'It's a fish' as soon as she said that, i immediately had war flashbacks to my time playing Aurora in our company's production of Sleeping Beauty LMAO.
Imagine someone watching nutcracker for the first time in her play. Like someone chatting "omg the battle between mouse king and nutcracker is awesome" "wait what mouse king, that was a gorgeous fairy he was fighting and he sliced that little fairy..."
This is so good!
Bruh I'm watching this while jet gluing my pointe shoes
Kali Condon dude i once spilled jet glue ALL OVER my point shoes... i had to perform as the marzipan lead the next day... so i had to show up at my dance store, at midnight, and i was practically crying, to buy a new pair and then sew it...
When I was younger I did ballet and I have quite the story: so, when I was five, I had a ballet meet. I was so nervous and so was my friend at the time. Flash forward, all of the girls I was getting on stage and getting into position. Then, all of us heard a really weird water sound. It turned out that two of the girls were peeing on stage. And in the audience we heard laughter and we ran of stage
Your storys just made me remember numerous dance disasters that some how worked out but still make me shudder or feel queasy to remember them. I suppose all stage performance people have a little bag full of these kind of memories. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t k ow about you, but we were NEVER allowed to talk on stage. If we were caught we would get in so much trouble
Same with us. Last year at my end of the year recital the group of older girls kept talking on stage (mostly because they looked horrible because they didn’t care enough to actually learn the dance) they sure got yelled at afterwards and luckily most of them were seniors so they graduated!
Me too but we do it anyway if we need it now I watch my performances from a few years ago and you could notice it a bit but we perfected our method and it's been a while since our teacher has noticed so
That's what I'm saying! Talking on stage is most definitely NOT a thing, ever. I highly doubt that the first girl was a professional anyways.
Kristen Fidierchuk same lol
I relate so hard to the judges having favorites and judging on reasons out of the persons control like the costume issue. I used to figure skate and I remember this one time a was at competition and I got 3rd and last (only 3 girls in my category). The mother of the second place girl actually came up to my mom and told her look that was unfair your daughter skated better than mine and the first place girl. But both those girls were members of that club and rink. (So it was nice that she acknowledged and explained the biases). I’m also fairly sure that I got judged harsher at a competition because my dress was super simple off the shelf and another girls was covered in rign stones and just sparkled like crazy.
I have a few stories lmao
1 - when i was clara, there was this tug-of-war scene between fritz and clara all of the party children behind them. The boys win the tug-of-war, and the girls fall to the ground. when we fell, my curls got c a u g h t on my dress ! and the mothers are supposed to go check on the girls, and when she checks on me i tell her about the situation and we make this decision in about 30 seconds to r i p my h a i r out. it was wild.
2 - During that same performance, at intermission (the 15 minutes in between acts) I had to go redo my hair (because of the previous story) and my dance teacher redid it so fast and all was well and good. But as I'm walking on stage for the second half, i feel this stabbing pain in my head and it was one bobby pin sticking into my head that i couldn't fix (cause I was on stage). I stayed on stage for the whole second half and hour and a half) and I was crying by the end of it. As soon as the curtains closed, I ripped out all of the bobby pins in my head. It was the most painful experience.
3 - last year, my sister was performing in the snow scene, which is most dangerous because we have little bits of paper that fall from the ceiling to give the actual snowing effect. Everything was going great, and it's my sister's favourite piece. but as she comes on stage and does a grand batma (big kick), her foot slipped out from under her and she and fell on her side. she got up and nobody noticed because of all the girls onstage, but she couldn't really walk for a week.
You have to admit, pulling out painful bobby pins can be a heavenly experience
It's spelled grande battement btw
Dancers are so well trained in moving on like nothing is wrong that it becomes part of how we handle all conflict. My dad left my wedding reception in an ambulance and half the guests didn't even realize because I went on as though nothing happened. I didn't stick to pointe long, BUT I did studio competition team, studio classes, school teams, and a pro team. I remember a performance in which a teammate's hair extension flew out of her hair during a series of pirouettes. She just kept smiling and figured out a way to kick it off stage. At competitions, you get points docked for leaving anything on the stage. That same teammate also won a judges' special award for Best Solo Within A Group Routine later that day with another number, but she didn't have a solo. She just forgot the choreography and was so convincing that her different dance moves were planned, that they gave her an award. I was 12. I started telling myself that I always need to be as confident as that teammate. The show must go on!
Lena is such a queen🌹 cracks me up too.
*Center Stage* Great 2000’s movie! 💕
I saw this and thought, “ Ballerinas have horror stories?!”
The story about the Nutcracker having to fight the fairy was cracking me up!!
Can buzzfeed do equestrians tell their horror stories that would be hilarious
