I appreciate this portrait of the agony and the ecstasy of dance life. When I was a young dancer, I was told, "Beauty is pain." Actually, beauty is peace.

[@marydumois4242]

Amen!

[@2Sugarbears]

So grateful that you did a documentary about Canadian ballet. Most doc's are about; Russia, US or UK. These ladies worked so hard and deserve a voice. You gave them that.

As a former dancer who had to "retire" at the age of 30 due to serious hip and knee issues, I can relate to almost everything the dancers say in the documentary. "Masochism" is definitely part of being a dancer, no matter what style one specialises in. At present I'm trying to get back to dancing but I find it so difficult not to overdo it (again), not to be so competitive and extremely harsh to my body, even in the social dance environment. Perfectionism is second nature to me but my ageing joints are screaming "slow down" ;-) I'm in my 50s.

I began at 4 in tap. My mother felt I was too much a tomboy to do ballet. I begged for 2 years to take ballet which I began at 6. Ballet was one of the great loves of my life! I was forced to retire from teaching at 40 after several back surgeries! There is still a huge hole in my heart! Thank you for a beautiful documentary!

Empathy for what dancers, artists, dreamers travel through to express their passion and talent. The beauty and the pain of commitment…

[@judithglasser3072]

Beautiful documentary, the struggle of dancers, artists, its tough to create, its a difficult life, but its the life in which you feel whole!

[@karenlindley.9756]

Geeez all these stories, behaviours, mentalities etc resonate soooooo much with me. Still seeing their heartbreak after so many years. It’s still raw after many decades. Bless them for telling their real stories. Loved it. Bless all these brave women telling their stories xx

[@venitabucceri8435]

What a poignantly beautiful film of such incredible women. You all made me long for those days at the barre which always ended with a glorious time onstage❤ Thank you all for sharing your hearts❤

[@golden1789]

I can't believe there are not more comments about this wonderful documentary.

[@miriamhamiltoncoronaca5386]

A video that young dancers and their parents should watch so they can know what they’re getting into and go with eyes open. Dance is brutal to bodies as well as mental health.

[@christianefleurant7089]

Thank you ladies ! Especially Tuesday, Caroline and Sarah who I remember vividly as I sat at the piano striving to find the best music for the dance to emerge from your bodies. Mouvement is life 🌻

[@MH2theB]

Raw and authentic, I loved it!

[@cathysmith997]

What a marvelous documentary! Thank you so much to the film maker and all the participants.

[@barbaraangele8615]

Thank you for posting this video.

So true and REAL! But remember: All bodies are good bodies," says my anorexia counselor. And tp do ballet, you must eat for MUSCLES. #PortlandOregon

[@michelledillman6381]

Crying now …… so true …..

[@natalijaargenta959]

I was hyper flexible as a child and could bend my spine in half and pull my leg right over my head. I had the ideal body and mental drive for sport and found ballet boring compared to ice skating. Now I wish I had taken ballet seriously and not tried to be an Olympic athlete. I had injury after injury, had eating disorders, tore my achilles and quit sport after a burst appendix at 15. I started dancing en pointe again 5 years ago and my hyper flexible body as a kid is actually my downfall. Now I have constant joint and hip pain because of hyperextension. I am still in my forties but if I don't dance each day I feel dead, yet when I do I have pain like a 75 year old. 😢

[@geraldinebutler2647]

You need to try training with Ballet Conrad. He has the answers to hyperextension in ballet and how to make you strong and prevent injury. It is revolutionary placement training.

[@yuvalbar7611]

Thank you ♥️🙏🏻

[@nancysueleske7819]

This is interesting!

[@oxoelfoxo]

good docu

[@nanetten6238]

Please share this information with young dancers. I wish I heard it at that age.

[@erin3292]

🙏✨🌸

[@simaraft7373]

Well, Audrey Hepburn was told (by Marie Rambert, I believe) that she had the body but not the talent and look where she ended up. Somewhere in a real dancer's heart she/he has respect for the brutally honest teacher, director etc.

[@kham6006]

Disgusting making them wear masks !

[@TheSwissChalet]

I agree...psychopaths. I turn anything off when I see that nonsense.

[@sharaswitala6296]

Not at all. Wasn’t that during COVID? One person with a cold can take a whole company down. Protect others as well as yourself

[@TheSwissChalet]

@@sharaswitala6296 stay on the sheep farm. Go get yourself harpooned with the government juice as soon as possible. You need at least one juice dose every month. Better go get it!
