maam this is a whole aesthetic and I LOVE IT

lovely journey, and a really interesting insight to ballet preparation. I'm actually sort of surprised by the amount of stretching, but at the same time it makes sense :0

I hope you get a part that you want! Good luck!

that studio is gorgeous!!

It’s beautiful 🤩

That would just lift your spirits significantly.

It looks amazing🤩

Fun fact. I remember when the company first moved into that space. I was a dancer with JMBT. I miss those days. Rehearsing the kids for Nutcracker and doing morning class

Omgg you go girl💕

Girl I beg you to do another video about teaching!! This one is super relatable

You are such a beautiful person! Hope you have a great day!

Congratulations. PS can you please tell me where your sweater is from?

what do you actually do with the babies??

I know you didn’t just get water from the nasty fountain

You kinda look like Gracie Abraham!

Hi good video i love preppy aesthetic ❤❤

First❤❤

Underated!!!

you should make more videos about summer intensives :)

Omg I live in Boston too❤❤❤❤

UNDERRATED AS HECK!!

These comments Jeeze

F Taylor Swift's politics.

You’re worried about your hair but what you really should be concentrating on are those giant dark bags under your eyes.

Can we talk about how pretty she is??? Absolutely stunning

You look so tired :(

Looove LRP! And this song smmmm

You are so pretty and amazing ❤❤❤

You have 3 hours to get ready every morning??!

Where's your outfit from???

Would your hair really look that different if you hust let it air dry and brushed it after? I imagine it would take a lot less time

Love the video! Just a hair tip tho. Be careful w tension on your hair. Treat it like it’s the most fragile thing when brushing it, especially while wet and you’ll get even faster results! 🫶

Underrated!!

I hope you recovered beautifully. I'm having foot surgery on nov 13th 2024. Good times lol

You're so pretty ❤

You go girl 🎉

what ages do you teach?

Omg I’m getting surgery soon so I’ve been watching every video I can find and halfway through this video I was like… hold up is that Gillette stadium?! Haha I’m a foxboro local and recognized it instantly. Thank you for sharing your journey, it’s definitely making me less scared.

You should talk about Philidelphia Ballet Summer intensive!

Watching this years later because I am adopting an Aussie from my local shelter she is estimated to be a year old. Same color as your baby & I am so excited cant believe I found my dream dog at a shelter. Just waiting for her to be spayed so I can bring home and give her the life she deserves.

Whomever is filming has a pervert whistle in his nose. Oh boy ! Right nostril ***whiiiiiiiisssstle!

I hope you get better

selling any? 😅

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm not a professional dancer (just hobby), but I think a lot of the feelings you describe can happen similarly to anyone to some extend. Changing jobs or communities, giving up something you thought integral to your identity, adjusting to a new structure or lack thereof. So it's really helpful to hear someone validate those experiences and face them with hope that you can work through it :)

As someone who inlove with dancing, I really remember myself dancing by myself since age five! And I'm originally coming from more street dance, and contemporary, and later I gave ballet a real good chance. I wish people who only had ballet would just know how sweet it is to really just dance, as an expressive, not judgmental or stressing art, so they could really compare and realize what they really love, what they really experiencing in ballet, and where they want to be in the future. The mental aspect in ballet teaching is so toxic, even when I'm great with all the moves and doing it, I feel like I'm a robot that is always watched from around the corner, my facial expressions can't get loose, my body doesn't "speak". Even if someone else get humiliated as a sarcastic joke or "educational demonstration", my insides shrinks and I become more closed and stressed just from witness it. That's not dance, by what I consider dance, for me.

I am like 3 years late to this video but I went to CPYB this summer and it’s honestly amazing! I improved so much, the classes are pretty small (mine had 11 girls in it) and everyone got personal corrections. It was honestly just so amazing! We had at least 2 technique classes a day but it was often times 3, a pointe class, and then like once a week we had fun class instead of a third technique class. Honestly I loved it and I can’t wait to go back next year

Lol as an sab girl in freeds i dont know what some of that means either

Heartfelt congratulations. Thank you for sharing an important life lesson.

I had a complete ankle replacement and tendon surgery.

I also pack my vibrator because it can be really stressful sometimes when we are worked hard and so sometimes I need to relieve some of that stress during a break in class. We have private bathrooms in my dance studio so its not difficult to get away with. I have no shame.
