[@dancesophie163]

You know you are a dancer when you point your feet during workout

[@ht8038]

YES and i feel like i’m doing it wrong when i don’t lol

[@nujiarts]

@@ht8038 I'm not even a dancer and I always point my feet when I exercise and if feels so unnatural when I don't

[@jennylove2746]

-me doing sit ups during an aerobics class last year- Instructor: feet flexed My body: No!!!!! - feet pointed- lol 😂

[@RachelCaruso]

And at any given moment! Did you notice the spontaneous point when she was just situating her computer at 2:50 ? I danced through childhood, never professional, and 13 years later I still point my feet thoughtlessly, so I easily spotted this ballerina doing it haha.

Ai Sian yes i completely agree! i’m a ballet student and have been dancing since i was 2 so i am fully aware of how demanding it is physically and mentally. pros basically have to do this to make sure they can come back once this is all over and be fully able to do the extreme.

[@kaleigh_mac2715]

She should drop a stretching routine!

[@KarenLeos91]

Same! But don’t beat yourself up, unlike us this is her job so it’s understandable

Yes sweetheart

[@nikaramik3087]

That’s the first professional ballerina I see that really seems healthy, fit and balanced at the same time. And she’s radiating so much positivity and happiness ! I am amazed :) would watch 10 more videos of her.

[@annacbrown1986]

You're right! I think there's at least two more videos with her

[@automnejoy5308]

I don't understand these ballerinas that are super bony and putting their bodies through this everyday. It must hurt a lot, and I suspect they develop severe arthritis sooner.

[@laurrey7527]

I met her today, and she’s the kindest person ever!❤️

[@automnejoy5308]

​@Joni Crouch I'm not just talking about skinny. I'm talking about bony, which a lot of ballerinas are. Some look emaciated. It's gotta be more painful when you have almost zero body fat or muscle mass and are basically a walking skeleton.

[@caicook5564]

thank for saying this!!! i love the videos she is in! they make me feel more positivity in a community that most people find very toxic. she has given people positivity and happiness towards something they might look at differently. she has changed the way i look at ballet and has ultimately made me a better dancer!

[@appleshrine4071]

Finally. KZbin hasn’t recommended me a video that is 5 years old 🙏🙏

[@raymondkb2nzo788]

Your experience is very helpful even for men

Boredom

[@louisa7043]

true, i feel like i get so bored during a routine, after a while i need to switch things up

[@KOUdance]

I love that she’s not afraid to stay active throughout her day, and that she even encourages it. It’s really great that’s she’s incorporated breathing exercises and time just for stretching into her routine, too. As an amateur dancer, I’m taking notes 📝

[@mayhudson]

"my girlfriend" pores cleaned, stomach detoxed, mental health restored

I checked her ig she definitely has a bf

[@sarahgalatea]

@@cathmunk and now I'm sad... jk

[@itsabicot9129]

This is by far my favorite "Pro Ballerina" video. I absolutely love how she talked and explained everything. It seems like she has a very healthy mindset which is very nice to see in the dance. It was also encouraging to me as a dancer to hear her talk about the things she struggles with even though she's a professional. :D

[@MegaFrenzyman]

Thank you for showing us that even a professional ballerina has tight outer hip

[@sjames4054]

I thought the same thing!!😁

[@Lina_al_j]

ikr! as a runner I have tight everything ... so knowing that a ballerina has smth tight makes me feel a bit better lol

[@emilycsq]

same! as a dancing hobbyist and starting contortion, it gave me hope seeing she got tightness and can still can do so many amazing flexi things

[@idaho307]

I wish she had her own youtube channel I need more content like this

[@fayehiggins1150]

Scout has changed my perspective on what a ballet dancer can be like. Thanks for breaking those stereotypes for any young dancers that are watching. You're a wonderful role model.

[@Raemonty]

Her personality is so bright. I can’t explain it but I was smiling back every time she smiled in the video lol.

[@dumbgirl8]

I love that I got a McDonald’s ad in the middle of this

[@lyannawinter405]

:D Did you survive it? :D

[@maythineeTV]

This was actually a breath of fresh air: I really appreciated her frankness about how she's still growing and evolving and learning, and that there are still major challenges to overcome. Great vid!

[@ellysdiary]

I totally agree!

[@crbaade]

She needs her own channel. We would all watch daily 😁

[@kristiLB93]

Scout’s attitude is awesome! Her mental discipline and outlook on life is admirable. I’m inspired to commit to a bit more self care for my body after seeing this!

[@eddierouge2588]

video: "2pm " picture: sunset don't tell me i'm the only one confused

[@NessaLee23]

Definitely not the only one lol I was gonna say - her 2pm is like our 7pm here

[@Dragonladylives]

Sunset earlier and its dark by 4 or 5 in her area, its a trade off for living in a sunny place. Sunny everyday, just less hours of the day. Like here in Canada west coast, in the summer sun sets at 9pm dark by ten. But in the winter sun sets around 4pm.

[@Emma-sm5ww]

I used to be a pre-professional ballerina, I miss doing workouts regularly like this! Def spotted a lot of things i used to do as well. It was surprisingly encouraging to see that you have tight outer hips too! I can at least criss cross, but it's nice to be reminded that everyone isn't perfect and has their own limitations. 💕

[@DancingDeity]

Why’d you stop?

[@teresa2454]

I would love an “Eat in a day” vlog with her. I wonder what her nutrition looks like.

[@paulinagonzalez8106]

Okay, she seems so healthy, I admire that

[@unapologeticallymj]

You have the most gorgeous body! I always thought that ballerinas are just skin and bones but you look amazing. It's also so true about exercise - when you're a kid you run around all the time and it doesn't even cross your mind that this keeps you in shape. As an adult you almost forget that moving and exercising can be so much fun - you only look at it as a chore to do stay fit.

[@noramcnabb1361]

My dance teacher always said everything in ballet builds off of a plie or tendu and that’s why they are done first in class

[@gokcegoursel]

Scout has this wonderful, inspiring energy. I like seeing her just go about her day full of positive energy

[@RachelCaruso]

Inspiring to see a dancer with a healthy mindset...it truly is so rare in the industry. The culture encourages constantly comparing yourself to others, dancing and conditioning your body just to get approval and attention, rejecting your body and pushing yourself way past your limit, mercilessly judging your weaknesses, eating disorders, compromising your well being and integrity to get ahead...and so on. Then if you're in certain corrupt companies like I was...SRA. 🔺🧛🏼‍♂️

SRA!? meaning satanic ritual abuse?😮

[@RachelCaruso]

@@KellyO Correct. It truly does hide in all corners of our society.

[@jsjbusta7059]

I wanted to see what she eats in a daily. 😭

[@onebraincellleft2563]

I think they did a video showing how she spends the day preparing for a show that’s at 6pm, and it showed her meals. But, it wasn’t that much food since she didn’t want to dance on a full stomach

[@jklmns0]

we actually eat a crap ton lol. we need so much energy and fuel, but also need to keep ourselves very light. Honestly I don't really restrict any food groups because I don't think its the healthiest, I just eat what I feel my body wants. If my body wants a burger, Im gonna eat a burger, if I'm craving a bowl of leaves, I eat just that. lmao

[@iwatchytwhenimbored1636]

Wallfløwer _ exactly! i forced myself to eat on days of shows but i can’t have a full stomach. but after we eat a bunch of healthy junk

Loved to see this! I’m not at all a professional ballet dancer but am a ballet dancer/student and living in SoCal as well, took up surfing recently and feel it’s an excellent compliment to ballet. I’ve noticed such improvement in my dancing since I started. It gave me comfort to hear she had tight hips and struggles with it even as a professional. The biking, Pilates, and yoga are also in my routine; I felt like we were kindred spirits 😂

Ugh, I envy your body strength so much, but admire you for all the time you put into it.... I know your body is your essential asset in your job, so it's not like I should be mad at myself for "only" managing 30 minutes in the morning + 1-1.5 hours in a day for an exercise (and sometimes skip the 30 morning one due to hunger) with my office job, but it must feel so amazing to be this powerful.... and your partners must worship you for that stamina (which is also one of my goals and the reason for exercise :D). Anyways, kudos for this taxing routine and keep it up!
