Interview with Chloe Misseldine | Swan Lake Debut | Missing Pointe Shoes

[@divab63]

Chloe is so mature for her age. So interested to see how her career progresses. She is a beautiful dancer and deserves the promotion. I love how articulate and mature she is at such a relatively young age. Wishing Chloe a long and prosperous career.

An old soul hidden inside a graceful package. At her age I was getting drunk at rave parties during the weekend and sulking about most life events. I want to listen to her and absorb her vibes all day.

Thank you. I can not tell you how generous and important your interview gave. I have sent onto a family member, a mom of a young dancer. Regardless of both your gained career ranks, you gave the conscious areas of an existence, being in ballet of what is inside/outside of a dancer's artistic life discovered to what it does devote in the physical, emotional, intellectual, psychological, spiritual 'constant' moments that starts as a young or older age. Even the break away to other areas of one's life gains the rest and play time of a healthy and fuller true life of one's self. Thank you, too, of names of coaches/teachers of my youth that were very moving to learn, how the ballet tradition of masters/mistresses do pass on the art form of ballet to hold the clear level how important is as unique as an opera singer. All training is not overnight and the discipline of years of basic training never forgotten, as the first day of a basic balet class. Thank you, again. BBes to you both.

Although I enjoy listening to interviews with all these inspiring dancers, it makes me wonder once again if there is any great dancer who has gotten to where he is without some support behind them. Ballet is without doubt pretty challenging, but what's more challenging is pursuing a career without your parent's financial or general support. Is there a dancer who made it under these conditions?

[@deboraaurora9376]

I actually know two beautiful dancers. Royal Ballet's Prima Ballerina Mayara Magri came from a humble background in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. And also Ingrid Silva, Principal Dancer with the Harlem Theater, was raised in the "favelas" (slumbs) of Rio. Both of them started dancing thanks to scholarships and non profit organizations. Ingrid has a book, that I personally recommend, in which she tells about her life when she lived in Brazil and how she started dancing. I would really love to see them featured in Isabella's Channel.

@@euphemiaprotopapas4220 what a great question. I danced professionally way back in the day ( now 61). My parents couldn’t afford to send me to a better school when my amazing teachers moved on. At the time I was dancing I am not sure how much a difference it would have made because I am 5’10 and in the early 80’s it was so very hard to find partners or even corps that I would fit in to. So many companies said if we only had more dancers your height. In 2024 I think with money and family support, you can succeed if you have the talent. Without the money and the ability of your family to sacrifice, it is still very hard for a dancer that does not have access to the additional coaching to succeed unfortunately there are still far to many talented dancers for the number of places available. Money and support does make a difference for many. There are a few amazing artists that succeed without it, but they are definitely the few.

boring

[@roastedpepper]

Then don’t watch? I mean if you’re not into ballet, why would you choose to watch this? Cause this was a good interview. Ballet fans find it interesting.
