[@tiarnanewton1976]

it is never too late to start. i started ballet last year (15) and it was hard because I was the oldest in the class and I recently came out of a broken ankle injury. it was extremely hard to make friends because all the girls my age have been dancing together since they were younger. i was also told I was overweight for the first studio I went to. so i changed studios and i have never been happier. I'm in the right classes for my skill level and everyone I've met there have been so kind. you just need to find the right studio! it is never too late to start something you love!

I started ballet when I had just turned 14, and I’m 15 now. It honestly was the best decision I’ve ever made. It does take lots of practice to be good. don’t be jealous of the other students, keep in mind that they have been doing this longer than you, so they will be more flexible and graceful. I practice a lot and I am very close to my splits. Keep your head up, and remember that when you stretch, it’ll hurt, but that’s good. Don’t push yourself too far, listen to your body! Good luck

[@ailinh911]

tips for pirouettes: • practice spotting • make sure you’re maintaining proper alignment the whole time you’re turning • make sure that your starting position is correct • practice every day, even when you don’t have class.

Ooo I ask my mum if i could do ballet but she said i think it to late because u need to know how do all these and everything and i am 13 and it not late because i am still a child and it will never be late but she knows i can do is just i don't know if anymore will let me join because i starting at 13 not like 5 something i did dance for 3-4 years i stopped because we didn't have lot of people and when i see people do dance or ballet i want to fo back and do but i scared that i am to late and i can't do it :).

[@leah8269]

You don't have to be flexible to start ballet but if you wanna take it more seriously or just want to be flexible you can stretch and do some stretching often and you will see. Dance is not just about flexibility, it is about line, technique, coordination, body control and passion... Just have fun, while quarantine just take ballet lesson online but think about the technique more than about the flexibility. But I recommend to stretch, Anna mcnulty has awesome stretch routine... Good luck Btw: I started dance not a long ago and I love it so much 😍

Thank you so much for the help! I will try out everything you said and maybe I can make my ballet dream come true

[@andromedaespejo7986]

Yeah, I think the most important concept it's the "turn out". Once you understand it you can really now if you're doing your exercises right because it helps you with every position. The "turn out" is when you "open" your legs so your knees don't see in front of you but in diagonal, the movement starts from the hips and your butt (you can feel it if you imagine there's a coin between your butt so you have to maintain it there, and I know it's sound funny but once you put strength in your butt the rest of the leg should follow the movement.) to your knees, ending with your foot. You can feel it if you lay down and let loose your legs. Some people have natural turn out, some don't, and that's okey, the important thing is not forcing it, and you can know that if your knees aren't straight. I hope this help you, :)

[@chiara4243]

Go ahead and do it! I started ballet the year I turned 15 and I couldn’t even really touch my toes but if you work hard you can do it! I took as many classes as I could and gave it my all and now I’m almost caught up with girls who started really little! I’m not at American standards but for my country and age group, not too bad hahaha

nobody's judging you. it might seem intimidating and scary at first but everyone in that class is there to learn just like you. focus on the exercises and listen to corrections. if you want to become stronger, you can do some simple exercises to strengthen your feet and therabands are very good for exercising your feet. i hope all these comments have inspired you to start and just know that you'll be beautiful !

I’ve been so invested in ballet classes lately (even if they’re at home ahaha) and honestly you’re one of my motivations! I started ballet at 8 and stopped at 9 and then restarted at 13 (September 2019) and now I’m 14 (since December) and honestly If you’re motivated and do you’re best in lessons everything will become so much easier :) Here are some tips that help me: -Learn your exercises: know them by heart. I’m sure there are KZbin videos of your exercises or tutorials. I usually search my grade+the name of the exercise or my grade+barre, etc. -Strech!: If you warm up and stretch well in the beginning of the lesson everything will become way easier, trust me! -Don’t forget to keep a good posture, straight knees, tighten stomach and glutes. This is important because it will help you with balance! -During exercises, don’t forget your head: foot to the front=head to the side, foot to the side=head to the front, foot to the back=head to the side. -Remember the comments your teacher makes! If you hear the same thing a lot, write it down and try to remember to not repeat the same mistake. Also, I’m in RAD so I don’t know if per example for the head positions it works like that for everyone so try to inform yourself. Hope I helped! :))

I started ballet last year when I was 14 (I did do ballet for 2 years when I was 4 and 5) and I went to my friend’s studio which I knew I would be able to be in with the girls my age rather than with the girls my skill level, and it was really good having my best friend to help me figure out what I was doing and help me outside of dance class. Im curvier than the other girls in the class but my friend has a VERY similar body shape to me so that has helped me not feel terrible about my body when so many of the others are so much slimmer (they’re all super nice though) and I had my first ballet performance since I was 5 a few weeks ago and I did super well and I LOVE ballet. The teacher tries so hard to make everyone feel accepted and happy and she worked with me to catch me up with the other girls when I first joined, giving me something to do to work up to it if things were too hard. I know lots of people that would be too scared to start something new at this age, but I’m super determined so nothing was stopping me even if I felt a bit discouraged sometimes 😂 but truly, ballet makes me really happy and I’m SO happy that I joined when I did, it’s never too late to start something new.

I have done dance and gymnastics my whole life. I stopped those (right when i was about to use point shoes) because i got injured and i needed to do several surgeries. I'm allowed to dance to the point where i don't feel pain, which is basically 5 minutes after i start although i often dance regardless the pain( which i know is not good for my body but it's so much fun still moving my body and just enjoy the moment). Sometimes my family just finds me doing some random choreography in the middle of the room. Watching this types of videos brings me so much peace and kinda connects me with the real me.

I just started practice on and off, maybe two times a week. i've picked up on the basics by just looking at a lot of video's and almost everything you showed has confirmed what i'm doing. Thank you! Also, i think is very important to mention, when you're stretching, don't over do it. It's alright if things start to tingle a little and feel weird but listen to your body, don't stretch any further than that right away. Build it all up slowly, it may take a couple of weeks or even months to get where you want to be.

Until no one belived that i can do ballet (because im 13) but really thank you and tomorrow im going to start ballet i was a gymnast for past 10 years and when i stoped i felt really lost i hope this will be my new passion ❤❤❤

[@georginaanton4726]

I’m a ballerina, and this helps soo much. Thank you Luna I love you ♥️♥️

[@mirandaqiao1036]

Watching Luna's videos come out is probably one of the best feelings in my day

[@jadyn5758]

i love how real luna is! stay safe beautiful! 🥺❤️

[@nadiabarmasse5294]

I love your new intro, and you were so pretty with your outfit and makeup ❤️ Btw I started ballet two years ago and I'm 25 yo , so It's never too late to start, if ballet is your passion then do it don't be afraid ❤️ of course at first I was very scared to be judged but now I don't care anymore, I'm just enjoying what I'm doing ❤️ And for those of you guys who want to be more flexible you should definitely do yoga (everyday is more effective) because I was pretty flexible but now it has been two years since I started yoga and I do it everyday now, and I have my splits, I can do high leg hold etc❤️ (sorry for my bad english)

[@miabowers4653]

Hi luna! You have changed my way on thinking about myself as a dancer! I love your videos! 💗💗

[@danisaurtaylor3758]

I danced ballet for 7 years, did point for 4 and one day i just got fed up with it. The perfectionist mindset was toxic to me to the point where i was solely doing ballet for my teachers approval and that seeped into all aspects of my life. I constantly felt like my body was being run through a CT scan, every improper alignment on display for everyone to critique. I took a break and noticed this distructive mindset but also taking a break made me realize how much i miss it and why i loved it in the first place. I gained so many amazing qualities from ballet like discipline, work ethic, drive to always do my best, grace, etc. with the pandemic going on i haven’t been able to return but i have grown to realize what i loved about ballet from my time off after putting away the perfectionist mindset that blocked my relationship with ballet

[@michelleameyaw3419]

Ahhhh you don’t understand how much I’ve been looking for and wanting something like this!!! Thank you sooo much and I love you sooo much Luna you’re literally everything 💜💜💜

[@ovelyjoy6211]

I like the old intro way more , i always did 😥😥😥

[@lily4900]

This is rly rude to say since she was clearly very excited about the new one and she worked hard on it. She put the old one back because she got so much hate. It is honestly rly sad, so I hope your happy cus now you have the precious intro that you liked so much even though its not even your channel

[@winnyfredxxxx]

It has always been my dream to be a ballerina, but I'm so scared to go to a class. Your splits are goals by the way! I'm trying to get there 😊

[@dieterkoch6563]

Luna, you are such an inspiring teacher. I trust your teaching classes will be ongoing once this thing is over. Good luck.

[@yuyuchubz253]

thank you for all your kind words of encouragement throughout the video!

[@hejira9688]

Thank you so much! I’ve always wanted to do ballet since I was a little girl but I put it away as something I could never do because of how my life had been. Now I’m 23 going through my journey of healing and reparenting; brining the dreams I had back to light and telling myself I can do it....even though I can’t even touch my toes...

[@sarahjohnson6407]

I couldn't touch my toes when I started ballet, even then it took me years to accomplish it. Flexibility is important but it is something that comes with time.

[@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

What a fresh topic! Not knowing much about this profession, the video was rather informative and nice to watch! Keep up the great content and have a safe and wonderful day 🙌💯😊👍

[@maggiekeidel185]

I love how positive you are 💕💓💞

[@emi7607]

i really love your intro it´s soooo cute and i love how your Cartoon-Luna shakes the stars from her hair!!

[@outrplanetz]

I followed along with those small child ballet classes on amazon when I was five and now I'm thinking about actually trying ballet. I'm 11 now and I am trying to become more flexible, lose some weight, and attempt some ballet. Thank you for making it apparent that it is never to late to start 💖

[@Purpleclouds9]

Its so amazing that you are starting ballet and it can be really fun, but please don’t worry about your weight! you don’t need to be a certain weight or size to do ballet. The ballet industry can be very harsh about body image and that sort of thing, so especially at your age, don’t put that pressure on yourself. Doing ballet is so much fun and I really hope you enjoy it❤

[@chloeexe9949]

Ive been on and off dance since i was 3. I started ballet and did it for 3 years but i was bullied out of it so a year later tried my hand at hiphop i did for 2 years but i quit and then i did gymnastics till i was 11 but my teacher moved away and i gave up. A few months ago i was inspired to start dance again this really helped me thank u so much

[@larisaduma2333]

I started ballet last year at 37 and I am so in love with it so yes, it is never too late! 🥰❤️

I just started ballet! (I’m almost 13) It’s a hard art form but I love it with my full heart ❤️ I have really talented girls in my class so I’m training like every day to become like them... But it’s all worth it! :D I wish I started when I was 4 but I can’t go back in time. And starting with ballet is the best decision I ever made! If it’s your dream And really wanna do it it’s never to late! Love you Luna🥰🩰

Now, I'm 23 and I started ballet in September. I was very scared to start doing it, but it is the best thing I've done. I feel so happy and encouraged. Thank you for this video, it was really useful
