how to become a ballerina

[@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!

[@outrageousrice8735]

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 :).

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

[@sara.bpereira]

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! :))

[@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 😍

[@johoh1121]

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!

[@carolatheamazing]

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 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.

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 ❤❤❤

[@anniesanders4307]

a lot of people have been talking about liking the old one more, but tbh, it just makes me happy seeing u happy and i'm glad that the new intro makes u feel that way :)

[@mrsbebeeledger]

I’m a dancer trying to get back into it. And this break has given me the chance to really work on it! I lovvveeee also I’m wondering if I should make more dance videos?!?!

[@sookkielf9134]

100% make videos

[@mrsbebeeledger]

@@sookkielf9134 I definitely will in the new year! I currently make lifestyle vids and I am a dance teacher so I make dance vlogs every now and then!

[@Coquain]

Started last year at 15 and switched studios from a not so great comp studio to an amazing vaganova based school and I’m in the pre-pro class level!!! Even though my peers are mostly younger than me (12-13) there are still a good amount of students that are my age! It’s all about finding the right place for you!

[@jesskim8596]

I love the new intro and dont feel pressured to change it because others dont like it! Its your channel you choose the theme 💕

[@hanna8135]

I did ballet for 10 years and quit almost 6 years ago. But I still enjoy watching your ballet videos, they are almost my favs on ur channel! 💓 Stay safe and healthy🍀

[@melissaikizoglu867]

yo I seen abby from dance moms sCREAM about sickled feet for the longest time and I just learned what it actually looks like lmao

[@adiya1093]

A lot of people are saying they like the old intro, but I think the new one is so cute and its fun to have something new

[@georginaanton4726]

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

[@theatrefreak6464]

I have my first ever ballet class tonight, I am 21 and plus plus sized. I am so nervous but I am so excited, I have been dreaming of taking ballet since I was a little girl.

[@aviie2831]

I have been doing ballet since I was 2 so I really didn’t have to come here but GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, IT WILL BE HARD BUT YOU CAN DO IT!!

[@alice-bg3iy]

i’m not en pointe yet, but someone told me that if you don’t have very flexible feet you should get capezio avas or kylies, which is good because i have a capezio near me and i think they do pointe shoes fittings!

[@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)

[@katie.stanbrough9581]

this is very helpful thank you luna i once was a ballerina but i then broke my leg and was told to never do ballet again i didn't listen this video was just what i needed.

[@juslover804]

I personally don't really like the new intro. it's just not my style. but hey most important is you like it and I'm happy with it😁 I guess I just "expected" since you said you've had the old one for so long, you wanna chance it to something more "mature" idk. so I was kinda surprised😅 much love ♡

[@millie.s]

3:05 omg that’s so young i started ballet when i was 3 and my ballet teacher always said we couldn’t go on pointe until abt 13-14-15

[@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

[@NeverlandSystem_Satin]

Even adults can start ballet, even if they will never advanced or performing. It is an amazing art and beautiful way to get exercise.

[@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 😊

[@AshaLoonFilms]

I love how you encouraged body positivity Luna, it’s so important

[@samiralarissa9657]

knowing that i have been a balerina for 14 years, still sitting on the couch and watching a video on how to be one 🤓 and loving it of course

[@daisydayy.4912]

everyone please leave her intro alone! she has worked hard on this!

[@Sweetcherry1985]

I want the old one back :(

[@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

[@Sweetcherry1985]

@@lily4900 :D Oh dear.

[@likhayaloyiti4010]

My advice for begginer, get full sole ballet flat shoes... It's much harder and allows you to work on your feet and strengthen them. But for performance do split sole to make your feel look better

[@janinakraker9495]

I *LOVE* the new intro! Even though its really different to the old one, i like that it represents your last name montana with the song and your first name luna with the little moon at the end!

[@lily4900]

YES! Finally someone expressing something other then hate for the "new" intro. I think it is so immature how ppl r making it all about themselves saying "i dont like it" and now she changed it back :(

[@Captivagirl353]

FINALLY! A nice comment

[@cringysarah]

i was going to start ballet again at 16 but decided not too. i’m really thinking now that i’m 18 i do want to do it again and honestly i might start to go next year and start again it would be great because my ankles have gotten weak since not doing sport and dance. lowkey want to get fitter as well and dance is super fun so i’m thinking of starting again and this video was very helpful

[@notyvonne_]

Luna, you are literally the prettiest, positive and enthusiastic person I’ve ever seen😩💞 i wish you the best for your future and please stay safe💓💗💖💞💝💘

[@Xiaotian_Edits]

I've been doing dance since I was a little kid, but as of now I'm 15 and doing ballet and taking it much more seriously, its been a few months, I have for the most part my left split, working on my right split and my middle split is close. the biggest issue I probably have is spotting and turns for some odd reason, but I've been trying my best to fix that as well! Honestly I don't think theirs such a thing as starting too late, even adults in their 20's or 30's can start out and still do fantastic! never give up

[@bibiancachan6065]

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🥰🩰

[@bee-ut6bx]

i did ballet as a kid but stopped then i started again this year and everyone was so nice in the studio!

[@camillerck]

I started ballet at 26 ! It is never too late :)

You should watch miss auti!

Thank you. 42 years old and started last week. Good tips on technique, appreciated ❤

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 🙌💯😊👍

[@Sophie-fy8ot]

ive been wanting to learn ballet since i was 4. im currently 17 and I was looking for what to wear to my first ballet class next week!! im on the heavier side and also though i was too old to begin but im really looking forward to it

You got this !!!

@Jelaire Peel I usually don't, as I practically don't need them...

[@camiladomaniczkychaparro9815]

@Jelaire Peel i dont, but there are some leotards that specifically have double fabric at that area for better support

[@corinnealexander369]

honestly an amazing overview of basics! one thing you could’ve added was talking about turnout, especially the importance of not forcing it since you’re very flexible and some beginners may not be. loved the stretch suggestions though!

[@shawnamuschamp8972]

Love you, the intro not so much it reminds me of a teenager. Huge age difference. Did mention your awesome and extremely talented💃😍

[@yourfavoritgremlin]

I did ballet for 5 years, it was the best thing of my life, but I had to quit do to certain reasons, I'm starting again in 4 months and even though I was borderline professional I feel so lost I need this video 😭

[@aurora_something]

Low fifth? I have never heard it be called that, we call it bra bas in New Zealand

[@sotiriaanogiati]

In Greece we call it bra bas as well

[@brunasoaresbelico3381]

In Brasil we call it like that as well

[@joylindadichamounix]

I am 52 years old. I was very uncoordinated & could never get the hang of dancing well into my adulthood. I started yoga & Pilates in my late 20s. It helped me to be much more coordinated and able to understand ballet. I have chronic pain so I cannot do jumps but I LOVE balley inspired workouts. I like to feel like a ballerina. I also have a cat named Fiamma.

[@meeraiyer2731]

I miss the old intro noooo :(

[@blayontop]

Planning on starting ballet sometime next year (probably at the beginning) which im pretty excited about, only bad thing is im in Germany and my german talking skills still arent the best, plus ive always been insecure around people but im sure ill get thru it!

[@saraxnkl3860]

I’m not even interested in ballet but I loooooove watching your videos 💛 dope introoo tho

[@jasmined5983]

I LOVE the new intro. How could one not love it. Luna montana....Hannah Montana like ugh genius

[@SamElle]

OMG YES I LOVED THE NEW INTRO!!!!

[@ellaclarkee6023]

I’m 14. I Have done musical theatre dance almost all my life but never anything like ballet. I quit when I was about 7 because I just wasn’t enjoying it. But I’m going to start ballet this year and I’m so excited.
