BACKSTAGE AT SWAN LAKE

[@jettwashed]

this was so much fun to watch, y'all are incredible dancers!!!

[@AydanJane]

I started watching this having no idea you were at the Mount Baker Theatre, and then all of a sudden I was like no way is this girl in Bellingham!! I had a performance there years ago, so it was so cool to see it from a dancers perspective again!

[@AlenaMcKenzie]

Aydan Jane that’s awesome!

[@isabellab4989]

I actually love all of your videos but I think you’re behind-the-scenes videos are the best videos you make

[@pointeshoegal38]

omg I love how you say "grande" like grande plié ahhhhhh i love it

[@ninon_dlmr]

Why the ballerinas aren't in pointe shoes?!

[@AlenaMcKenzie]

the footage is from dress rehearsal :) since we do the show back to back to the rehearsal we save our shoes and our toes for the performance!

[@lreese3961]

I can’t wait to be back in mt Baker theater!!! The Nutcracker- Opus Baay!!! I’m a soldier and a flower

[@EllaRose05]

Why are some me girls wearing pointe shoes and others aren’t?

[@oxitocyn]

I believe it was a dress rehearsal just before the show so some of them probably prefer to not go full out and save their pointe shoes for the actual show

[@blancaah6]

Why are you girls wearing a leotard under your costume? I loved the video btw.

[@kianasch]

I think it's because this video is of their dress rehearsal 💕

[@arielburrow9433]

It gives an extra layer between the costume and your body as a tutu can be rather itchy or uncomfortable

[@blancaah6]

@@arielburrow9433 so... You are not supposed to wear anything... it's a two hour performance and then you are done... I'm sure their pointe shoes are much more unconfortable...

[@arielburrow9433]

Mariaah Not necessarily. If you can find a way to hide the nude leotard from the audience it’s not a big deal. I always wear a nude leotard under mine. It’s not that big of a deal haha

[@blancaah6]

@@arielburrow9433 If you were allowed then great. I wasn't allowed, that's why I said it. And in profesional companies you wouldn't be allowed either.

[@angelmonroy-q1f]

omg i love you ;; you’re amazing waaaao

[@kamanonickname]

It was fun! But ladies... you all have some sort of accent. Especially if you are Americans.

[@isabellebraz7869]

Does someone knows How old was she when she started to dance ballet?

[@AlenaMcKenzie]

I was 13 :)

[@isabella5853]

@@AlenaMcKenzie OMG you're the first ballerina youtuber i watch that didn't start when she was a little kid!! I'm so glad you shared your age cuz I really wanted to start ballet (I'm 14 almost 15)... and even when people say "it's never to late to start" i get insecure because I'm not sure I would be able to keep up with it I feel much better now that I know that you started pretty much around my age and became such a good dancer! thankssss I'm really happy rn; but humm, can I ask you something? how long did it take you to get on pointe? & did you had a ordinary schedule (I mean regular school and stuff) or did you dedicate your teenagehood to ballet?
