How do you react to late nights? Let me know x

[@rippy4freedom]

Ozzy and Sharon! Holy moly Rock On!!!

[@ivyarianrhod]

I live for late nights! It's the early mornings that kill me... Even after an exhausting day, I'll still have a performance high after a show, and find it hard to wind down. Coffee (the next day) is my best friend.

[@annyhunter2317]

I absolutely rely on my routines and some journaling to find the right direction for the day and to focus. But as I am not a professional dancer, I don't have to perform on a level nearly as high as yours. Stay strong ♡

[@Pixelwincel]

I usually get really tired in the afternoon and just sleep off

[@viktoria93133]

Thank you so much Hannah for bringing us along. ❤ This video was especially amazing. I feel so lucky to be able to get a glimpse of how your journey is unfolding. I live in Hungary, but one of my goals for the upcoming years is to be able to see you on stage live. It would be such an honour, because of how incredibly motivating you are as well as because what BRB is doing is just jaw-dropping. Thank you and I wish you all the best!

[@HannahMartinRG]

Thank you so much 🙈🙈🙏🙏 that is so sweet of you to say!

[@evaowens1400]

Hannah, do you think you would have more energy if you ate more protein for breakfast? Do you put protein powder in your porridge? Have you consulted with a dietitian? I know it's none of my business, I'm just worried about you.

[@ivyarianrhod]

That was my comment last week. At least she had protein powder with her yogurt at night, and peanut butter in her smoothie bowl!

[@HannahMartinRG]

I am trying to incorporate more protein for sure. I don’t include everything I eat in these vlogs so the snacks like protein bars and I had a lot more protein powder and yogurt this particular week then I vlogged. I think mainly the physically exertion required for all the rehearsals and performances is the main culprit for the fatigue. But I’m certainly addressing my diet to insure I’m getting the most out of my energy supply each day ❤️🙏

[@MissMeadows]

I love the music of Black Sabbath! Being able to come and see this ballet would be epic! Although dancing ballet to classical music is amazing, sometimes I listen to rock/metal when I practice by myself. It just gives you so much energy! 😃

[@HannahMartinRG]

It is quite empowering getting to dance to some of the reconstructed compositions! I have really enjoyed the challenge!

[@Kat_Braunschweiler]

Thank you for bringing us along Hannah! I’m so proud of how far you’ve come~ ❤😸

[@HannahMartinRG]

Thank you so much 🙈🙏

[@dronesclubhighjinks]

That was a whirlwind week! I hadn't realized this was the world premiere of heavy-metal ballet! I just looked it up and there's a half hour-long video on it which I'll watch right after I finish this comment! It's also on various news sites in different countries! Looking at your thumbnail, my first question was: whose legs are those? How is this person supporting themselves? I don't actually need to know the answer, but it all looks very intriguing! 😸 6:10 and 9:19 The leotards you're wearing are gorgeous! When you said you need to get better at picking yourself up when you're feeling down ... more quickly, it sounds like you're improving already! That is very encouraging! Something I've started working on: telling myself that just because these negative ideas or feelings are pestering me, 1. that doesn't mean that they are valid, and 2. that I can choose to not take them seriously. 3. There must be Dementors hanging around me, because even Muggles can feel their presence! (when I'm at my most exhausted, this honestly helps me feel better. I think it's because it's kind of humorous. Also, nobody can prove that there are no Dementors hanging around me 😂) I reassure myself that, just like countless times before, after I eat or sleep, or several hours have passed, I will feel better. And at that point will realize that the "down" feelings were merely a result of lack of sleep, lack of food, hormones, maybe somebody made a rude comment or I happened to see the newspaper headlines. In your case, the addition of performing in a WORLD PREMIERE show can cause stress in a different way than any previous performance has. Even overwhelmingly positive feelings cause stress in a good way, but it still contributes to fatigue. That plus physical exertion causes bodily fatigue, which makes it extra difficult to fight mental fatigue. In my extensive experience, body fatigue is always accompanied by mental fatigue. But mental fatigue can occur without body fatigue. 1. "Night changes many thoughts." 2. "An empty stomach breeds imagination." 3. "Dream big and be your own best friend!" 😸 Thank you very much for taking the time to film yourself, edit the video and upload it! I'm so excited that you're part of this amazing ballet - it could become the foundation for a whole genre! Best wishes to you and all your colleagues, friends and family!! 😍💐🙏🦋🌺🩰✨

I love your comments--they're always so thoughtful!

❤❤❤❤❤❤ FROM BALKAN !!!!!!

[@brianne9]

Please do a video specifically talking through how you prep your shoes!

[@lanabridges4193]

😸 I love watching your videos; get some rest.

[@magpie5710]

Have to ask Hannah, how many shoes do you go through in a week of performances, practices etc.. 😾 The show really rocked didn't it. Was it that different or demanding than a more classic ballet performance ?

[@suzanneeggington5356]

😸 🩰🩰🩰🩰 Keep shining brightly Hannah 🤩Take care of you x

[@HannahMartinRG]

Thank you ❤️🙈🙏

[@lindatannock]

I always used to find that opening night gives you a huge adrenaline buzz because you're nervous, even though you're exhausted from rehearsals. Like you said, the day after is another matter lol. The tiredness really kicks in! The ballet looks fantastic. Right up my alley! Glad you're enjoying it 😊💛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛸️

[@HannahMartinRG]

So so true! It’s a crazy whirlwind until you realise you’ve got to keep going for another 8 shows or so! Loving it though! Thank you ❤❤❤

[@ivyarianrhod]

I've been looking forward to this vlog! I so wish I could see the show. Back in my ballet days, a hack we had for bruised toenails (I got them all the time--I don't have a great foot shape for pointe, so my big toes were brutalized) was to heat up a safety pin red-hot, and burn a hole in the toenail over the bruise to release the pressure (blood). I can't say it worked wonders, as you had to bear the pain to get all the way through the nail, or it would be pretty much useless, plus you had to be really careful of infection. So--DO NOT DO THIS! Hopefully there are better methods out there nowadays. 😸

[@HannahMartinRG]

Ouch!! This sounds so painful. As I have a fear of needles I’m not sure I’ve got the guts for it 😂

[@K_ballet]

I admire your food prep. Curious if you guys have a grocery delivery or pick up service there? And if so, maybe that would be a good gift for somebody to get you a membership to your local grocery store if they deliver. 🤔Looking good in your after class clips! 😸

[@HannahMartinRG]

We do, but I can never justify the delivery charge when I know I could pick it up myself 😂 I do think it’s a good idea for days like these though. I know my colleagues do this often

[@michaelrienitz3855]

The Song at 01:00 is great. Whats its name?

[@HannahMartinRG]

I think it’s called The River Freedom by Kiki Leonti

[@user-rb5il9zo5f]

Hi Hanna. I am coming from the tennis world, love your insane discipline and hard work and fantastic journey that you inviting us in to. You really are incredible. Been thinking of how often you are telling us how tired you are are. I have to say, that i am very surprise of your lunch and dinner, how little carbs and protein you are eating. I think you are spending much more energy then you are eating, I can be wrong, but if not, it can be one thing that can be one thing that can really improve your energy level during the day and also the recovery for the next day. ❤

[@gilliancarr8477]

I use orajel on my bruised toe nails and a gel toe cap :)

[@HannahMartinRG]

Thank you for the suggestion 😅😅

[@roxykoehn1527]

I enjoy how you are just so honest like we all get exhausted and drained at one point keep on sharing those struggles man cause I am so sure we can all relate ❤

[@corallie7746]

What kinds of bible study tools do you use? I’d be interested to know ❤

[@HannahMartinRG]

At the moment I’m just letting God guide me, but at one point I was using my dads free online Bible school. It was really great! Definitely recommend

Hannah I love watching your videos in the evening while I do my stretches. I started ballet again as an adult after many years of break and I love it even though it’s very tough to remember the combinations. How do you keep your hair healthy and long with all the tight buns and hairspray? Thank you, I would love your advice.

[@HannahMartinRG]

Honestly my hair doesn’t get much time down. I don’t wash it often so I don’t have to put so much product in it every day.

[@isabelaandzico]

So what shoes are you wearing now? I use the product used by horse trainers to keep my toenails in shape. It’s amazing. I’m wearing custom Russian pointe shoes now but I love Freeds for contemporary pieces (the pancake 🥞 situation 😂).🇵🇹🇧🇷🩰

[@HannahMartinRG]

Wow! Never thought to try that! Does it work?? I am currently wearing freeds but still trying to find something that functions and has the aesthetic I want. It’s certainly a journey

[@isabelaandzico]

Yes. I’ve used since I was in school in Moscow. It’s amazing and not expensive.🩰🫶🏻
