REACTING TO MY OLD SOLOS?!

[@savannahhope8915]

I would love to see you recreate these solos

[@piapony876]

but we need the costume😂💁🏼‍♀️

[@deniselisboa1]

Yess

[@severinaarthur5346]

That would be cool, but a loooooot of work!!

[@duckyplayz6067]

Me toooooooo

[@mik_1724]

I don't know if you remember but I commented that I had an audition at Carolina Ballet, and I got in! Your videos have definitely helped me with my technique.

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Mikayla Grimes OMG!! This made my day WELL DONE!! Love you 😘😘😘

[@JewelBelleLove]

That's great! Good job!💖💖

[@fishcakez]

congrats 🍾 hope it works out ❤️

[@blah7983]

I might see you at one point! I live nearby, and I go to the same studio that Sarah Roe trained at if you ever talk to her

[@refkat8848]

Claudia:good balance there Claudia Me: I will not be saying that to myself when I'm older.🤣🤣🤣

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Ref M’s universe 😂😂😂😂

[@larissaswayze]

I love how sweet you are to your younger self!!! It’s so refreshing. Everyone is usually so hard on themselves when they watch old videos but here you are cheering yourself on. Love it 💚

[@jaden8208]

It’s refreshing to see someone react to old performances and feeling confident enough to compliment themself. It gets old seeing people going “omg I was SO BAD” when they were very clearly a solid 9.5/10 😂

[@annasahlstrom6109]

I never even thought to compete when I was younger. I was the student no one wanted to promote, except for two teachers, one of whom was an actual professional ballet dancer. I should have just gone out and done it no matter what anyone said. I couldn't get pointe shoes until I was 15 even though I started dancing at 3. I wasn't able to take class full-time due to school and other activities. You have always been exceptional. I loved seeing your old solos.

[@performwithme]

Omg Claudia I love you. I’m a 14 year old ballerina, and I have always wanted to be a professional ballerina. Your videos have helped me gain confidence. I’m a perfectionist and have always been really hard on myself, but after watching some of your videos it helps me feel better. Watching your videos has also gradually helped me be less hard on myself, and realize every dancer makes mistakes and needs improvement in some part of their dancing.

[@spanglelime]

This is the first time someone has said I’m a dancer and I feel so honored. I am everything BUT a dancer, so I feel loved 😄 Mad respect to everyone who does ballet. I appreciate you all and how hard you work to make it look effortless.

[@jordanjohnstone6316]

Nobody: Claudia: that CONE on my hEaD

[@Constantin9va]

Amazing

[@normamimosa5991]

You hit the nail on the head, Claudia, "a lot of potential but need for refinement." I can see why the Royal Ballet School accepted you. As, I have mentioned before in response to one of your videos, you have an admirable quality of putting yourself out there as is. That takes courage and builds tons of respect!

[@callabeth258]

I like watching these like the way I watch football: watching Dad watching football is so much better than watching the game itself, so watching you watch and react is better this just watching your solos!

[@kristalallen2131]

I like the choreography on the Unicorn, the floor extensions. You were so confident and a winner for the first variation. Your expression and turns are amazing, your technique pristine. I like Blue bird variation so much, thank you for sharing.

[@JordanJSparks]

I CAN'T with that Unicorn tail. You're an Icon 😂😂

[@0328-d3w]

i remember doing third shade during my summer intensive and i'd never done it before so by the end of the variations class i was wheezing on the floor and my muscles were jelly

[@smawow2860]

Watching you reacting to yourself was honestly the best thing ever! We all need to be our own hype girl!

[@liakaragianopoulos4382]

Would love to see some safe leg hypertension exercises! I feel like my legs never quite look straight as I would like even when they are... And OMG yes Bayadere Shades 3 Variation so hard, thank God I am a lefty!

[@mattstevens4342]

Your dancing in the unicorn one was amazing I just couldn’t stop laughing because of the costume!😂

[@katysuemarfil2148]

Awe my first solo was Princess Florine from Blue Bird as well! So fun! I feel we are like soul sisters now! Lots of love to you Claudia & Simona!!!

[@paulineiv878]

Beautiful work Miss Claudia from a young age you were truly amazing!!♡Loved your Shade solo but that's the 3rd shade not 1st either ways that's what I'm supposed to work on arabesque turns awesome job!!☆

[@posypoodle6034]

Yes, good to look back where you started. Unfortunately I’m still there!!

[@melodychen3977]

Literally my fav KZbinR!!!! I am 11 and has been dancing ballet since 3. I absolutely love Claudia and she is such an inspiration!!!

[@ladyliberty417]

You are such an inspiration for girls Starting out and getting serious, keep it up no matter what, they need you Claudia!!❣️🥰

[@Ciara1211.]

My 4 year olds were unicorns for their recital last year! It was a little purple white tutu sequin dress with a unicorn headband, so precious

[@nicklo98]

The second solo was INTENSE!!!! LOVE IT

[@peace-now]

La Bayadere is such a great ballet. Thank you for the videos, Claudia.

[@valentinetoussaint4990]

Love these old solo's you did. Your so amazing Claudia!!!

[@lilygrace765]

My entire body hurts after watching those 😂😂 I really enjoyed that!!

[@katie-janebennett1564]

Uuuuh the more I watch your videos the more I just wish you were my teacher growing up, you're so encouraging

[@jadedarlinggg]

This video should be the audio definition of the phrase “be your own biggest fan” because that is exactly what this video says. We love seeing you love yourself and your younger self. ❤️🥰

[@GoodDaysandBeyond]

wait...youre only 24 lol...I say that in the sense of you have your own business, super successful! yeah girl!

[@aname2100]

She's 27 years old. :)

[@cutiekika]

Same! I'm 23 and just felt so empty

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

I’m 27 😍😍😍😍

[@GoodDaysandBeyond]

@@cutiekika :( just start basic to lift your vibration...be grateful for even the silliest things like having a hot cup of coffee in the morning or something. start there. right down your thoughts. you'll see yourself grow before your eyes. just a couple little things that might help.

[@aight33]

lmao she looks at least 37

[@cbranny]

I love how you do not destroy your past self but see the good things in yourself 🙌

[@cbranny]

Rarely seen in dancers that they basicly tell themselves "well done"

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

That was so much fun to watch! Thank you, Simona and Claudia xxxxxxxxxxx

[@liljajeanne4976]

THAT IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO EVER!!!! Claudia, you are hilarious

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Lilja Jeanne YAYYYYYYYYYY

[@claudiabansbach3132]

I know someone in the ballet academy that I go to and she danced Blue Bird, she was amazing I am totally sending that part of the video to her.

[@Swimmer47]

Agree to comment above that it would be interesting to see you perform those pieces now. Even though young, very nice. Thanks.

[@Narda1968]

I haven't danced for 30 years .. am 51 now....but I love your videos...they are so entertaining....not related to dance but whose doing your nails now? I love your nails! Hope you can still get them done some how...😇...I soaked mine off before the pandemic hit...can't wait to get a nail appointment...🥰

[@camilabarrera5652]

really missed this kind of videos ❤️ you should do them more often

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Camila BG I can do part 2! Yewww

[@camilabarrera5652]

Claudia Dean World yesss 🙏🏻

[@jessicapammenter1061]

Yes Claudia!!! I learned the First Shade variation.... so hard!!!

[@miriam.a5385]

Everytime i watch these videos as a non dancer i always think that doesn’t look all that tiring especially when you did the one about rite of spring and that is honestly a true testament to how difficult Ballet is an how good of a dancer you are! Its supposed to look like us lay people could do it if we tried😂 glad quarantine has brought me to this channel i’ve got to find an adult ballet class man😅

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

Miriam. A YAYYYY welcome 😘😘😘😘

[@tristoffsquabit1862]

So much fun!! Would you have interest in doing another can I still dance variations video? I remember just laughing and enjoying how amazing you are!

[@ciscohernandez4888]

I love you omg you’re very positive and I just love your vibe. Please continue with your videos

[@maquelalashley7794]

That shade variation is literally the hardest one I have to agree with you!!!

[@salomeiarajuli2779]

Oh shade variation ❤️yes it is so hard it all fondues but it is very pretty at the end

[@Chihuahuaqueen]

I really enjoy your videos! I danced for 20 years but only did pointe for one! My favorite type of dance was lyrical. I was telling my husband the other day I need to get out my pointe shoes and see what I still can do! Lol I want to show my nieces who are a bit too young for pointe yet!

[@beauxsbooks]

I remember doing that solo! Yes I found it very hard, I was 16 I think when I did that, I remember tearing my achilles in my left ankle during my performance, still working on strengthening my ankle.

[@ddazuulada]

Please do more of these! I love it!

[@jntbleger]

Love you so much Claudia! You are the best! You were great even back then! Would you consider doing like a things for dancers to do during quarantine? Like stretches and stuff.

[@gabybautista1933]

omg yes the 1st shade variation... my leg would dieee

[@sabinamaria]

WOW!! You were incredible at 13!!! I wish!! The unicorn costume was SO FUNNY!

[@toticustv1556]

I have been waiting for this video!!!! You are my inspiration!

[@emily.b.speers]

Yes OMG I did that 1st shade solo and it is soooo hard!

[@jaimeeking2423]

Your last two solos were AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!! I just found your channel and I'm so happy I did. I danced from 2yrs till I was 17 and became a teen mom. Not that I regret my now 11 year old I just wonder what would have happened or where I'd be if I didn't become a teen mom.

[@LabriesLife]

You are amazing!!! This inspires me to work harder especially since I joined very late.

[@Helene.Actor5678]

This was so much fun to watch! Love you!

[@kaiyaseymour520]

Hi Claudia you’re an inspiration I’m eleven years old and I would really love a video of u explaining your journey to the royal ballet, as it is my dream to go but i know before I go and audition I will need to get my name out there more. How did you do that and do I need to go full time at my studio before I audition? Also if my studio doesn’t do RAD does that lower my chance of getting into a ballet school when I’m older? I understand you may not be able to answer your question as I am just one person but if you can it would help me out in so many ways! Thanks xx

[@balletgirl0079]

Kaiya Seymour yesss we need a video

[@kaiyaseymour520]

Natalie 1234 thanks

[@JewelBelleLove]

💖💖💖 Totally agree!

[@milliecottey5043]

I am the exact same but Im already fulltime

[@kaiyaseymour520]

Millie Cottey r u finished school

[@head_in_the_clouds]

I just love your blog you are such a charismatic and positive person! Makes my day!🌞♥️

[@anarodriguesborges9501]

Could you do a video of how to do the princess florine variation, talking us through the steps and giving tips, just like you did the sugar plum fairy one?

[@Juju-et7wq]

Yeah you should recreate them !

[@Livs2006]

I'm suffering from a knee injury at the minute and not able to dance. Any tips for coming to dance with an injury?

[@JordanJSparks]

yaas the Grand Fouettés on pointe!

[@juliettepage]

That second solo was actually amazing, considering how young you were. Well done! 👏💜

[@kathleenandrea6941]

you’re such an inspiration to girls out there!! thank you so muchh🥰

[@UnknownUser-ns2gh]

Your voice is so funny 😂 I love it I love your channel! 😍💞

[@thorick590]

Holy Smokes ! The moves ! You're the Bruce Lee of the Ballet world !

[@laurenharrison9969]

What’s the best point shoes you have got of amazing as mine are dead and I can’t get knew one to practice because of lockdown???

[@emmacarr3489]

The unicorn coustume though....like the guts to wear that!

[@shieldmaidenforchrist1310]

I actually watched this video because the thumbnail picture is so small I couldn't tell it was a unicorn costume and the silhouette initially made me think of Thai or Cambodian dance. Your solo's were really good. You can tell when someone is a natural performer because they can really sell it even when they are young and minimally experienced.

[@caramacdonald7954]

Amazing video ! Loved the 2nd solo !❤️❤️😍😍

[@mvugt]

would you be able to do a video on hyperextension exercises? I found that part very encouraging. Thanks for sharing!

[@kylaharnholt8425]

im learning the blue bird variation right now

[@theempress1104]

I love this. 😍🌹You are a phenomenal dancer even at a very young age. And I think coaches like you are very rare, even more rare than great dancers. As rare as a unicorn. hehe 😉

[@andreamarin4216]

I love your videos so much! I hope one day I can have a technique as well as yours! ❤️

[@JOJOland512]

Love your videos CLAUDIA ❤️ u are so inspirational and interesting. I will always remember yr words every time I got discouraged 🤩🤪

[@goatmaster9955]

Love these so much ❤️❤️❤️!!!

[@jinx3706]

Hi Miss Claudia! Can you make a knee hyperextension exercises video please!! I really need your help :)

[@valentinetoussaint4990]

OMG! the unicorn costume is so cool

[@maggieroquemore1994]

I just love her!😆

[@maddiemadding1169]

I’m loving these videos

[@kellybiasi2093]

Hi Claudia can you do a video about trying acro. Thank you, your amazing

[@isets7192]

Hahaha this is too funny! You were soo cute 😘💕🥰💗

[@bridgetmorrow7629]

So funny!! You were so good even when you were younger!!!! 😱😍

[@mlwzor2310]

Wonderful improvement over the years. Could you perhaps showcase an older dance? Someone who is in their 20's and not as experienced?

[@leiariina5164]

You are such a beautiful dancer! I do have a question and I did email you too about it.... Hi Claudia, I don't know if you remember me but my name is Leia. I watch your videos everyday even if I watched a video already! They are super helpful. One thing I do need work on is my ballet leaps. I did watch all your leaping tutorials but the problem I have with my leaps is that I can't get them to 180 degrees in the air. Although I do have about a 3 inch over split on each side, my legs don't want to get up to 180 degrees. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you so much Claudia and keep on making videos because they are truly amazing- and so are you! Have a nice day! -Leia

[@AJ-uo6cc]

I've had a left leg cramp during 1st Shade, it was dress rehearsal and I panicked and switched legs and reversed the whole choreo.

[@sophiawilliams1219]

Can you make a video of hyperextension exercises?

[@nancy-garcia]

Hi from Argentina! I love your channel and I always recommend it to my students. It is beautiful that you share this! I wish we could know everything we know now and be able to correct it at 15! Haha! Sorry for my English 😂

[@ashleymcmichael]

Cuuute!!! That sissone pirouette diagonal in Lilac just gave me PTSD. Lol. I had to do them from 5th. Nightmare! 😂

[@eszterjc8964]

Hello from Spain. PS: I loooooove all your videos♥️♥️😍

[@Editsmarada]

You are a very great ballet dancer

[@Latifartistry]

You should recreate your favorite solo and your hardest solo

[@Torihickman1100]

Loved the Second one

[@audricemartina01]

I did the the same variation but I think it's third shade not first... But yeah I agree it's hard👌🏻🙂.

[@GoddessofChaos666]

You should recreate one of the performances!

[@sarahledezma7931]

I was studying this at the Joffrey school of ballet

[@luckycharms5196]

that solo is sooooo hard!!!

[@mashuptiktok1104]

Can u give me any tips on leg hold pls🥺

[@katarinaxox220]

Great video!🎉

[@aliciawigren3170]

This solo!!! Had to learn it for a variations class and all I could think is “please don’t pick this for our end of year solos” 😩

[@nicklo98]

That unicorn solo is very me lol

[@DisneyPoppinsDisney]

Love this so much!!!
