Camille RCK I am with you! And it really is all about how hard you push and practice! I never thought I would dance ballet but I went out on a limb In my liberal arts degree and took ballet and fell in love! I’ve been practicing yoga for about 14 years so switching to this was definitely different and challenging but SO MUCH FUN!! I now need dance in my life!l lol it is never to late to start! Good luck to you!
@Geneva Francois Great ! I'm taking one beginner class a week and watching some video on youtube to improve the move + vocabulary. Yes try it at home :)
Thank you for this! I Just started at 43. 🙋🏻♀️ A year and a half later I’m a burlesque dancer performing shows regularly. That wasn’t my goal when I started. All I wanted was to move my body and explore something I was curious about. Dance has given me a whole new life. It really is true- dance is for everyone. You just have to accept you’re going to be uncomfortable learning a new skill. But if you persist, tap into your courage and keep showing up, I promise you it’s all worth it.☺️❤️
Thank YOU LA Gurl for this comment. Touching and so encouraging. Thank you and congratulations on your success, I imagine it is well deserved. Never stop dancing!
Thank you SO much for this comment. I’m 32 and feeling so discouraged to go back to dance. I love dance more than anything and still want to perform. Your comment really uplifted my spirit 🖤
Miss Auti, you're such a sweet, good-hearted person, wanting to lend a hand to people who want to start dance late and/or haven't had the resources to be able to start.
You’re not though. I starting dancing at 5 in church but started formal training later and was able to get into a good dance school. It’s really not too late especially at 18!!! You have the upper hand
I started dance when I was 14 and at first, it was just for fun and I just went to my class once a week. But then I realized how much I LOVE dancing. So after a year of just doing jazz once a week, I decided to take more classes. Started by adding ballet, and then the jr company of the place I dance at. (in that class we do a mix of contemporary, modern, and lyrical) As I started taking more classes, I began to feel more insecure. Because not only was I at least 3 years older than most of the girls, I am also tall. So it just felt a little weird, and I'm trying to accept my height now, and the age that I started. I still sometimes wish that my mom would've put me in dance when I was younger, but then I wonder if I would've stayed dancing? And I feel that since I started later I've been able to catch on quicker and move up levels faster. Now I am 16 and I was nominated captain of my jr company, plus had my very first solo in November. (It was really scary but I think I did well) I'm not sure if I want to be a professional yet, but I do want a dance career. Since I'm homeschooled, I've had more time to stretch and work on turns and stuff at home more. But I'm wondering if I should be taking more classes? I was thinking of adding one more but they are also kind of expressive and I'm not sure if my parents would let me or not. Do you think I should take more classes and do you think I have a future in dance? (Also I love your channel :))
any tips for someone who wants to start dancing, i was put into ballet when i was little and gymnastics for most of my life, i think that because i started at a younger age it led me to not take it as seriously and id really love to get back into dance and be flexible again, words of advice???
Honestly this was way I was looking for! I am currently 13 but turning 14 soon I want to start dancing also professionally. Any tips or ideas how I can improve quickly?
I've attempted to get a BFA in dance since I was 19. I since then got rejected from three schools from 2018-2023. I am now 25, going back to school to get another degree --this time in Kinesiology. But now I am thinking of just giving a BFA in Dance another shot. Doubts are creeping in again and I know people around me are gonna think I'm gonna waste my time again. Decisions decisions
I'll be 35 next month and I decided last week that I want to learn jazz and ballet. I don't move nearly enough, I'd love to have that amount of control and it just looks so satisfying. I also have a degree in animation, and it's interesting to put the body mechanics I understand intellectually to actual work. I've never done anything like this before and I just fell right into it. It's a blast.
I danced from age 3-28. At 28 my RN career needed my full attention then I Got married and had 2 kids and I'm now almost 41. My energy and body took a hit and my soul has been feeling a bit empty. I've been CRAVING dance in my life again but wasn't sure how a larger, older lady would fit into dance classes again. BUT these videos have inspired me to get back into a class and live my joy again.
i’m turning 16 this year but can’t start till next year when i get my license and have a job to pay for classes and i’m scared i’ll be too old and out of place but these videos make me feel more confident, i definitely won’t give up! I know it’ll be tiring with school, working, and classes but i believe i can do it
O my goodness u are so freaking inspiring to me! I am 13 years old and I want to start ballet so badly, but I am afraid of not being good enough or embarrassed to be with the younger kids or not feel good enough to be with the older kids, but u are making me feel more and more confident about me being able to start ballet! Thank u so much! I hope u can see this to know how much you’ve inspired me!🎀
UnoCloutgurl omg you should!! ballet is my favorite thing in the world, idk what i would do without it. i’m 16 and i started when i was 5 but since i move a lot i’ve been doing it super on and off, like 1 in every 3 years. this year i started at a new studio after 2 years of not dancing and i got put in a class with younger girls but i worked really hard this semester and i’m already getting promoted. and if you stick with it, you could probably be on pointe within 3 or 4 years, so that’s before you graduate probably. i’m never gonna get to do pointe but i have to accept that and try to be the best i can be on flat. if your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough, and it seems like they’re scaring you so chase them!!!!
Literally me. I just turned 14 and I’ve been begging my dad to sign me up for dance classes. I’ve been teaching myself how to dance since I was 6 and now that I’m older I feel like I’m gonna be put in classes with 5 year olds. My dad knows how long I’ve been wanting this because I’ve literally made my contracts with his and my signatures when I was younger. I asked him about it again and he said which studio I wanted to join. I’m really excited but I don’t think he’s gonna sign me up soon. Maybe next year. Which I’m glad about because I’m starting to get insecure about my face. I could never go anywhere without masks. 🤥
I’m 40 and I teach twirling at a dance studio. I started to take lyrical and love it. Love your page and it helps me to practice at home. I pretty flexible for my age but I still stretch and I’m working on the basics. Thank you
im 14 and i was never really introduced to dance as a kid. my parents sent me to classes with my brothers like karate as dance was ‘for the professionals’. i wish my parents had asked me if id wanted to do dance now as i really want to become a profesional. im also a pole dancer and have been doing that for over a year now. that is really the only history of dance i have (as well as aerial arts). im also a very insecure person as i got a lot of hate from people at school. sadly all the dance schools around me already have people who dislike me at them, and trust me i would mentally not be able to go there after all ive gone through with them. last night, my mother agreed to let me start contemporary and im really excited, but now its just finding a place. :)
i’m self taught, basically just from watching several youtube videos and being flexible, and dance moms 😂. i’m 13 and starting dance classes soon, and i’m really excited!!
I took dance as a kid, loved it, but couldn't continue (scheduling around my parents' jobs, and availability of studios in my area). When I tried to dance again in college, it was kind of discouraging because everyone else had been doing it for ages, and the teacher didn't really give me much attention because I wasn't majoring in dance. I recently found a studio in my area and their motto is "Dance is for everyone," so I signed up for a jazz and a tap class to check it out. I just want to dance again. Really enjoying your channel. :)
I started dance this year and I’m 13. I do a contemporary class and I caught up with the other girls in my class. It’s so much fun and I really enjoy it. So anyone who thinks it too late to start, it’s not!
Isabella Prettitore heyy me too! I stretched every day at home so I’m really flexible now and I used you tubers like miss auti, Anna mcnulty, and Alivia D’Andrea. I’m starting ballet in a few weeks, so I’ll be dancing three times a week 🤗
I started at 11 years right before my birthday so now i am 12 i am self taught i love myself and i am really flexible and i have strength i learn with youtubers like annamcnulty alivia deandra its never too late to start
Thank you so much for this Miss Auti I want to be you when I grow up!! I’m 19 and I did musical theatre and a little bit of dance in high school but never really felt confident in myself until I took some dance classes at my university. Now I’m studying at home and I want to be a dance teacher for a nonprofit organization, but I’ve been doubting myself a lot lately. You’re really inspiring me to persevere and not let myself give up!
Hi! I’m 13 and I loveee to dance. I would absolutely love to start going to a studio and dancing regularly, but I constantly worry about not being good enough and everyone else being sooo much better than me. I don’t want to compete, I want to do it for fun, but I still want to be serious about it and not just dance on TikTok or learn from RUclips. I’m also slightly confused on what type of dance I would want to learn or what studio or class I would want to start with. I really wish there were beginner studio classes so I wouldn’t feel like a complete outsider. Thank you for listening to my rant! I love you all and I love you Auti!!! 💞💞
I basically grew up dancing and performing. I haven’t danced since I graduated hs 2 and a half years ago and I miss it SO much. It was and deep down still is my greatest passion but my family makes me feel crazy for even trying to think of it as a career. Idk what to do dude.
I’m struggling with getting back to a healthy weight due to mental health issues, but I want to one day be able to move in a fluid, powerful manner; to bring stories to life through the art of dance. I’m just so far behind and so lost on where to start, and if an inflexible, underweight woman could ever become a strong, healthy dancer.
Hey! I am 30 and I feel amazing starting dance! I found an awesome career called pre-movement sciences and it combines psychology and dance! There are so many avenues one can take! You give great advice Miss. Auti!!! 🙏❤️🙏🙆🏽♀️💃🏻 happy holidays!!
K thanks hunny! I absolutely love it and Auti is so right when she says it’s for everyone and it’s about our joy! I won’t stop because of anything! I’ve seen so much improvement in myself in just a few months 🥰🙆🏽♀️ practice practice practice!!!!
I am a self taught dancer and used RUclips for guidance. My friends ask me where i get my dance guidance and i say Miss Auti gives me guidance so thank you so much @missauti you really inspired me. Thank you
Omg! I want to say thank you so much Miss Auti for making this video. I needed this video. It was very inspiring and uplifting. All my life, I felt like I was meant to dance. I didn't have the resource to take dance classes. Now being a young adult I still have an desire to dance. I recently started watching your dance tutorial and it is so refreshing to see someone as kind and encoraing as you. Thank you for your channel and making these videos. I am sure there are dancers out there that can also relate to my story and needed to hear this awesome message and be encourage to do what they love. Again, thank you for the message. It is much appreciated. God bless you! #Never too late.
I’m 27. I want to start but I don’t even know if there are beginner classes for adults. I don’t want to just learn at home. I want to be part of a community. If you don’t live in LA, it’s almost impossible to find that.
Thank you so much for this video!! I just stumbled upon your channel while I was watching splits stretch videos, and I am 35 years old. Started swimming 6 months ago, and it made me want to start exercising... (yeah I used to be a smoker, and the laziest girl ever, so I never even really exercised for long periods of time throughout my life) Anyways, I was watching some dance performances by these little girls (ages 12-18) and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm starting so late!!! (I'm only doing it for fun, by myself, in my room, at night, basically in the dark lol) But this video really came up at the perfect time for me so I just wanted to thank you so much for making it!!!! You are awesome!!
I wanna start dancing and learning many things, but I don’t have the money for lessons 🥺 then I realized that I’ll work hard to pay for them. Start where I can start. Thank you so so much!
I love your spirit. You are such an inspiration. You carry such good vibes with you that you can literally see the peaceful loving spirits that surround you. 💙💙💙
“Your joy is the point” me instantly starting crying...I danced 3-18yrs I quit out of resentment towards my mom....18yo kine things.... I’ve missed ballet every day since...
im only 13 and im not even old but my studios around me are either really good and only have classes for age groups and I don't want to embarrass myself or they are very bad and i don't learn anything, what should i do
Could u share your experience wih us? Im at your age, but just started taking classes recently ( i built flexibility at home for the past 5 6 years, but only flexibility). Would love to hear your sharing. 👏🏼👏🏼
i have my first official dance class tomorrow!! i have a late start. i’m 13, but i did ballet when i was 5-6. i use to be super flexible but i stopped!! i want to be a professional, but it seems so hard because my friend has been dancing her whole life and it’s hard bc i feel inferior to her. my dream is julliard. is it possible?
Ok I need to vent idk who is gonna see this but whatever. I started dance at 4 and stopped at 8, but wasn’t ever competitive. But at the same time I was a competitive martial artist for 9 years I started at 3 and stopped at 12 to switch back to dance. But the problem was I joined drill team and drill teams aren’t the best for small details and technique. And will drill team, I haven’t had time to go back to studio so I kinda had to figure things out on my own. But since I have dance experience and martial arts I got good pretty fast. And I know I have so much more inside of me but I don’t know how to fix my mistakes because I don’t have anyone to help me. Drill team just isn’t the same as studio dance. So now I’m a freshman in my second year of doing drill team and I don’t know if I want to do it again cause it’s not helping me get better. Like I’m getting better but not technical wise. I feel like out of school, studio, competitive dance will really help me unlock my full potential. Cause I have an insane over split, a straight leg scorpion (needle) ,I have a really good point, I am really strong and I have my front and side aerial. I can do everything in my sleep. But my turns… my releve is too low, my hip is turned in, not using my core enough, my back is probably arching, it’s just so much wrong. It’s the little things. But all I can do is record myself and notice it, but not know how to fix it. So I’ve literally been teaching myself. And if my drill team requires out of school dance hours, I would go to studio multiple times a week but obviously not signed up and stuff because it’s for drill team, and I was always told I was really good. I know I could by AMAZING if I started competing in dance. Not drill team competitions, REAL competitions. And I remember at one studio (for dance hours) I got told that I was really good but I still got those corrections and they helped me so much. But it’s been a while so I can’t execute it the correct way anymore. I just wish it was possible for me to do drill team and competitive dance at the same time. If u want to get any better in dance, I have to not try out for drill team next year , and switch to studio. And all I want is to get better because it hurts me so much that I stopped dancing, never competed (until drill team) and didn’t realize how passionate I am about it until just a couple years ago. And I have it NATURALLY I just need proper lessons. Like i already point my toes in everything I do, it’s just small things. And I want to switch to competitive dance but I will have only like 3 years.. I’m already 14. And comp season has already started so I have to wait obviously. So I would only have just a few years competing then it’s all over. And we do compete on drill team but only twice. I’m also doing a solo at competition so I don’t want to look awful on stage. But I also feel like I’m comparing myself to others too much. I don’t know I’m a wreck right now. Ok I definitely don’t want to waste my time but at the same time being involved with the school is fun. I have to make up my mind fast. Right now I am leaning towards stopping drill team and switching to competitive dance. Someone help me I need advice.
I am 13 and I kinda wanna start but I know NOTHING like nothing at all. Should I start?? And does anyone have a story they can share with me abt this topic?? I wanna start when classes just start so it will be awhile but yeahh
I’m 13 and I don’t know my mum just found this dance studio in my area and it’s free in the month of February to start and I’m thinking of starting but I don’t know
I am 16 i did dance for 3 years when i was 6-9 but couldnt afford it anymore and i miss competitions so much an want to get back into but i have no idea how
I came here from that improv dance video where she has to dance like the snake that tempted Eve and I just want to have fun and get in shape to learn about my body!
Sweetheart, start dancing. Even if it is in your room or in the garden or garage, do it! Your passion for dance will be your driving force. Whatever you do, do not put it off for anyone or anything. Xoxo
I want to dance with a college dance team and I havent danced in a while but I really want to continue. how should I go about it I don't have much funding to be taking classes dailey?
Hey! I'm 18 years old and my dream is to be a perfect Artist...and to make happy other by my emotions that I can convey❤️ But I don't know how to begin myself 😑
I guess I feel insecure because I am quite flexible I have the rhythm, but I have such an issue with my hips. They are really tight and I have a lot of insecurity. But I also need to be ready to be super consistent and really research more in my stretches.
Hey auti❤️ so i really want to start dancing but I'm Muslim and I don't think i can dance since i can't wear tight clothes and i can't dance with boys... But i really want to start dancing but I'm scared that people would judge me or my parents would not let me because of my religion Also my country doesn't have alot of dance studios and it's literally almost impossible to find a studio and they're really expensive and I don't even think my parents would afford to buy me dance equipment and dance wear, i don't even think they'll support me 😭❤️ What's your advice? Please answer i really need your help 💓💖☺️
trick or treat freak If you want to dance, you gotta just go for it no matter what anyone thinks. You don’t have to wear tight clothes to dance, or dance with boys. I would just try learning whatever you can on your own, there’s lots of videos & stuff online that teach dance moves etc. Just start with what you’ve got -you, you’re two feet, & the Internet. 😆 Where there’s a will there’s a way. You might just need to be more creative in how to go about it to it possible. But it’s possible, anything is if it’s really what you love & want. 💜 Don’t give up on your dreams no matter what anyone says or thinks!
I think it is possible if you push yourself , work harder than the others and spend more time to train than the others. Belive in yourself and you will get it.
Ellie Smith maybe too late to get a job as a ballet dancer in a ballet company but defiantly not too late to go professional in any other genre. That’s not to say don’t bother with ballet, defiantly do as it will help your understanding and quality of movement overall.
I like doing jazz and contemporary workshops for fun, but I really would like to get into doing hip hop! Does anyone know of any good RUclips channels or resources to learning the basics of hip hop? I feel like I'm so stiff, so just slowly memorizing choreo isn't getting me anywhere lol
I started ballet at 26. :) Taking ballet class has always been one of my biggest dream since I was a child ! Guys it it never too late !!

Isabella Prettitore heyy me too! I stretched every day at home so I’m really flexible now and I used you tubers like miss auti, Anna mcnulty, and Alivia D’Andrea. I’m starting ballet in a few weeks, so I’ll be dancing three times a week 🤗
Isabella Prettitore that’s cuz contemporary doesn’t have technique. With ballet you’d have a hard time catching up!
I started at 11 years right before my birthday so now i am 12 i am self taught i love myself and i am really flexible and i have strength i learn with youtubers like annamcnulty alivia deandra its never too late to start
I love those youtubers to but its just that I started when I was 2 and I'm now 12
Me too I am getting more flexible than ever
I started at 11 and now I am 12 too! :)
Those are the best RUclipsrs for flexibility
@@z_giselle7174 im taking a little bit of ballet and a lot of contortion
Thank you so much for this Miss Auti I want to be you when I grow up!! I’m 19 and I did musical theatre and a little bit of dance in high school but never really felt confident in myself until I took some dance classes at my university. Now I’m studying at home and I want to be a dance teacher for a nonprofit organization, but I’ve been doubting myself a lot lately. You’re really inspiring me to persevere and not let myself give up!
Auti Kamal ALSKJFKAL OMG THANK U 😩😩😩
I want to be a dance choreographer but I am 18 turning 19 and really started dance at 17 this video helped me feel more confident.
When this pandemic is over I’m gonna start dancing!
Sameee
you can start now !! even if it is just warming up and stretching for flexibility or free-styling.
Hi! I’m 13 and I loveee to dance. I would absolutely love to start going to a studio and dancing regularly, but I constantly worry about not being good enough and everyone else being sooo much better than me. I don’t want to compete, I want to do it for fun, but I still want to be serious about it and not just dance on TikTok or learn from RUclips. I’m also slightly confused on what type of dance I would want to learn or what studio or class I would want to start with. I really wish there were beginner studio classes so I wouldn’t feel like a complete outsider. Thank you for listening to my rant! I love you all and I love you Auti!!! 💞💞
There's nothing in life that can be late to start! Nice video :D
I basically grew up dancing and performing. I haven’t danced since I graduated hs 2 and a half years ago and I miss it SO much. It was and deep down still is my greatest passion but my family makes me feel crazy for even trying to think of it as a career. Idk what to do dude.
I’m struggling with getting back to a healthy weight due to mental health issues, but I want to one day be able to move in a fluid, powerful manner; to bring stories to life through the art of dance. I’m just so far behind and so lost on where to start, and if an inflexible, underweight woman could ever become a strong, healthy dancer.
Hey! I am 30 and I feel amazing starting dance! I found an awesome career called pre-movement sciences and it combines psychology and dance! There are so many avenues one can take! You give great advice Miss. Auti!!! 🙏❤️🙏🙆🏽♀️💃🏻 happy holidays!!
Awwwwwww well done and keep on trying 🤗😇❤️❤️❤️❤️😘👍🏾
Its never to late to start you can never be to young or to old I started dance when I was 2 and I am now 12 ive been dancing for 11 years
K thanks hunny! I absolutely love it and Auti is so right when she says it’s for everyone and it’s about our joy! I won’t stop because of anything! I’ve seen so much improvement in myself in just a few months 🥰🙆🏽♀️ practice practice practice!!!!
I am a self taught dancer and used RUclips for guidance. My friends ask me where i get my dance guidance and i say Miss Auti gives me guidance so thank you so much @missauti you really inspired me. Thank you
Omg! I want to say thank you so much Miss Auti for making this video. I needed this video. It was very inspiring and uplifting. All my life, I felt like I was meant to dance. I didn't have the resource to take dance classes. Now being a young adult I still have an desire to dance. I recently started watching your dance tutorial and it is so refreshing to see someone as kind and encoraing as you. Thank you for your channel and making these videos. I am sure there are dancers out there that can also relate to my story and needed to hear this awesome message and be encourage to do what they love. Again, thank you for the message. It is much appreciated. God bless you! #Never too late.
I’m 27. I want to start but I don’t even know if there are beginner classes for adults. I don’t want to just learn at home. I want to be part of a community. If you don’t live in LA, it’s almost impossible to find that.
Same. I'm in Indiana, and this state just doesn't do anything for me creativity wise 💀. I have so many interests
Thank you so much for this video!! I just stumbled upon your channel while I was watching splits stretch videos, and I am 35 years old. Started swimming 6 months ago, and it made me want to start exercising... (yeah I used to be a smoker, and the laziest girl ever, so I never even really exercised for long periods of time throughout my life) Anyways, I was watching some dance performances by these little girls (ages 12-18) and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm starting so late!!! (I'm only doing it for fun, by myself, in my room, at night, basically in the dark lol) But this video really came up at the perfect time for me so I just wanted to thank you so much for making it!!!! You are awesome!!
I wanna start dancing and learning many things, but I don’t have the money for lessons 🥺 then I realized that I’ll work hard to pay for them. Start where I can start.
Thank you so so much!
i started watching your videos a few months ago and you really helped me & inspired me to start taking classes in a studio. 🥺🥺💘
Thank you so much for this! I am starting dance tomorrow and I am 13. I've been watching your videos to catch-up but I'm still nervous...wish me luck!
I love your spirit. You are such an inspiration. You carry such good vibes with you that you can literally see the peaceful loving spirits that surround you. 💙💙💙
“Your joy is the point” me instantly starting crying...I danced 3-18yrs I quit out of resentment towards my mom....18yo kine things.... I’ve missed ballet every day since...
I am about to start my adult dance class next week. Contemporary and hip hop. I’m so nervous. 😆😆😆
im only 13 and im not even old but my studios around me are either really good and only have classes for age groups and I don't want to embarrass myself or they are very bad and i don't learn anything, what should i do
I'm 30 an I started before 2 year now I'm professional .... you are jealous..
To2 to2 Rere how did you do it!? Tell me!! Congrats by the way that’s a huge accomplishment:)
If you are a youtuber why don't you make videos how did you do it ?it would be great if you do it
I met a ballarina that got injured and couldn't even move and now she started again. Guess how it is like that!
To2 to2 Rere no
Could u share your experience wih us? Im at your age, but just started taking classes recently ( i built flexibility at home for the past 5 6 years, but only flexibility). Would love to hear your sharing. 👏🏼👏🏼
I’m 13 and I want to start but everyone starts at 4
i have my first official dance class tomorrow!! i have a late start. i’m 13, but i did ballet when i was 5-6. i use to be super flexible but i stopped!! i want to be a professional, but it seems so hard because my friend has been dancing her whole life and it’s hard bc i feel inferior to her. my dream is julliard. is it possible?
Ok I need to vent idk who is gonna see this but whatever.
I started dance at 4 and stopped at 8, but wasn’t ever competitive. But at the same time I was a competitive martial artist for 9 years I started at 3 and stopped at 12 to switch back to dance. But the problem was I joined drill team and drill teams aren’t the best for small details and technique. And will drill team, I haven’t had time to go back to studio so I kinda had to figure things out on my own. But since I have dance experience and martial arts I got good pretty fast. And I know I have so much more inside of me but I don’t know how to fix my mistakes because I don’t have anyone to help me. Drill team just isn’t the same as studio dance. So now I’m a freshman in my second year of doing drill team and I don’t know if I want to do it again cause it’s not helping me get better. Like I’m getting better but not technical wise. I feel like out of school, studio, competitive dance will really help me unlock my full potential. Cause I have an insane over split, a straight leg scorpion (needle) ,I have a really good point, I am really strong and I have my front and side aerial. I can do everything in my sleep. But my turns… my releve is too low, my hip is turned in, not using my core enough, my back is probably arching, it’s just so much wrong. It’s the little things. But all I can do is record myself and notice it, but not know how to fix it. So I’ve literally been teaching myself. And if my drill team requires out of school dance hours, I would go to studio multiple times a week but obviously not signed up and stuff because it’s for drill team, and I was always told I was really good. I know I could by AMAZING if I started competing in dance. Not drill team competitions, REAL competitions. And I remember at one studio (for dance hours) I got told that I was really good but I still got those corrections and they helped me so much. But it’s been a while so I can’t execute it the correct way anymore. I just wish it was possible for me to do drill team and competitive dance at the same time. If u want to get any better in dance, I have to not try out for drill team next year , and switch to studio. And all I want is to get better because it hurts me so much that I stopped dancing, never competed (until drill team) and didn’t realize how passionate I am about it until just a couple years ago. And I have it NATURALLY I just need proper lessons. Like i already point my toes in everything I do, it’s just small things. And I want to switch to competitive dance but I will have only like 3 years.. I’m already 14. And comp season has already started so I have to wait obviously. So I would only have just a few years competing then it’s all over. And we do compete on drill team but only twice. I’m also doing a solo at competition so I don’t want to look awful on stage. But I also feel like I’m comparing myself to others too much. I don’t know I’m a wreck right now. Ok I definitely don’t want to waste my time but at the same time being involved with the school is fun. I have to make up my mind fast. Right now I am leaning towards stopping drill team and switching to competitive dance. Someone help me I need advice.
Ur sucha calming yet inspiring soul💙
it seems so fun but I’m not very good and it seems so fun but idk where to start so that I’m not with lite little kids
I am 13 and I kinda wanna start but I know NOTHING like nothing at all. Should I start?? And does anyone have a story they can share with me abt this topic?? I wanna start when classes just start so it will be awhile but yeahh

Sweetheart, start dancing. Even if it is in your room or in the garden or garage, do it! Your passion for dance will be your driving force. Whatever you do, do not put it off for anyone or anything. Xoxo
I’m 9 and I want an Acro dance routine for us to do
This is a random comment for this video, but, can y'all do a contemporary dance to Rich Brian's Drive Safe?
Thank you for your words your amazing 💕
You are amazing auti !!!!😊😊😊😊
Thank you I always wanted to dance until I was pushed back and told to lose weight.
Thank you, btw your dog is cute😊
I want to dance with a college dance team and I havent danced in a while but I really want to continue. how should I go about it I don't have much funding to be taking classes dailey?
Absolutely love your video 💖
Loved this video
Hey! I'm 18 years old and my dream is to be a perfect Artist...and to make happy other by my emotions that I can convey❤️
But I don't know how to begin myself 😑
I guess I feel insecure because I am quite flexible I have the rhythm, but I have such an issue with my hips. They are really tight and I have a lot of insecurity. But I also need to be ready to be super consistent and really research more in my stretches.
Look at videos about "rolling out your muscles". That's what I missed!
Hey auti❤️ so i really want to start dancing but I'm Muslim and I don't think i can dance since i can't wear tight clothes and i can't dance with boys... But i really want to start dancing but I'm scared that people would judge me or my parents would not let me because of my religion
Also my country doesn't have alot of dance studios and it's literally almost impossible to find a studio and they're really expensive and I don't even think my parents would afford to buy me dance equipment and dance wear, i don't even think they'll support me 😭❤️
What's your advice? Please answer i really need your help 💓💖☺️
trick or treat freak If you want to dance, you gotta just go for it no matter what anyone thinks.
You don’t have to wear tight clothes to dance, or dance with boys. I would just try learning whatever you can on your own, there’s lots of videos & stuff online that teach dance moves etc. Just start with what you’ve got -you, you’re two feet, & the Internet. 😆
Where there’s a will there’s a way. You might just need to be more creative in how to go about it to it possible. But it’s possible, anything is if it’s really what you love & want. 💜 Don’t give up on your dreams no matter what anyone says or thinks!
I want to start contemporary dance but classes are to expensive
Can you talk about different styles?
i am still doing dancing
Is it possible to become a professional dancer if you started ballet at 16?
I think it is possible if you push yourself , work harder than the others and spend more time to train than the others. Belive in yourself and you will get it.
Ellie Smith maybe too late to get a job as a ballet dancer in a ballet company but defiantly not too late to go professional in any other genre. That’s not to say don’t bother with ballet, defiantly do as it will help your understanding and quality of movement overall.
I like doing jazz and contemporary workshops for fun, but I really would like to get into doing hip hop! Does anyone know of any good RUclips channels or resources to learning the basics of hip hop? I feel like I'm so stiff, so just slowly memorizing choreo isn't getting me anywhere lol
Maybe it's late but Dance Tutorials and Matt Stefanina have amazing tutorials for all levels of dancing! Good luck ❤️
I am 16 and i want to learn contamporary dance by my self is it ok? Cuz i can't go to a dance class 😅
