🩰 they said I was "too old" to be a ballerina, so I created an entire adult ballet academy instead.

Another vote for keeping these vlogs about the workshops going! I'm on a break from Adult Ballet at the moment (it's been over a year) because "life" however these vlogs keep me connected in my own way

[@cozydaysBC]

Hi Veronica! Missing your vlogs! You inspired me to get back into ballet as an adult and I've been doing it for 3 months now. Its my absolute favourite part of my week! Just want to say thank you for making your videos, shorts, instagram posts and adult intensives! Because I randomly stumbled upon your reel saying its never too late, its now changed my life for the better. You inspire more people than you might know! I hope you make videos again soon and that your hip is feeling better. I'm re-watching your nutcracker videos to get into the festive mood! xxxxx

[@adorableangie]

you're so inspirational! im a young teenager, and my ballet school wasn't the best, and i stopped learning ballet. i've recently wanted to get back into ballet more than anything, and i thought that it was too late to pick it up again, but you inspire me to follow my passion!

[@ohema24]

You not too old, I'm 45+ and plan to start ballet too.😊❤

You are creating change in the culture of adult ballet!! You are so inspiring! I have so much respect & admiration for you!❤ I’m an adult coming back to ballet. I was a yoga teacher for years and ended up needing a spinal fusion bc of back hyperextensions caused me to have a herniated disc. Ballet is something that makes my body feel good, and elongates my muscles. I love watching your videos. You’re so beautiful and creative!

[@VeronicaViccora]

wow! that sounds pretty scary but I'm glad you're okay now and doing what you love! thank you so much for the kindness and support - it really keeps me going!

[@K_ballet]

Yay for adult ballet!!! 👏👏 So many places teach to children and teens only. However, a lot of these kids grow up and STILL have a love for ballet/dance, but the opportunities are gone.

The title though 😂😂😂😂 Alternative title: "Girl being told that she is too old to do ballet, what happens next is shocking" I am starting my ballet journey in October. This channel inspired to start this journey. I have already reached out to the teachers of the studio. They are so nice. I hope that many artists feel encouraged to start their journey, reach their goals and have fun while doing it. Artists make the world more creative and colorful.

[@crystalsharadin9772]

Love this! 🙌🏼

[@VeronicaViccora]

ohhh! I wish you could help me brainstorm my title ideas haha! that's a brilliant one! And I'm soooooo so excited for you! taking those small baby steps towards your goals is going to make such a huge impact on your life and I can't wait to hear all about how it's going - send updates please!

[@donnabel5956]

Will do so!! ​We as adults face so many obstacles whe we want to do dance. When I did salsa for a few years I did it on and off but it's not like I wanted it that way. The classes were either at the same time as work or the school would be located super far from where I lived and I wouldn't make it on time for class. There is always something getting in the way. I did tango classes during that time just to keep dancing. Salsa is my favorite though. But I never gave up, I always sticked to it even when it all got super hard. As a reward I am now EXACTLY where I want be, and the dance school moved to an area that is sure near me, I can literally get there on feet in 15 minutes. Guys just keep going, don't focu on the bad stuff and it will all fall into place. I am starting ballet in October and I am 30. I hope I will workout as well as salsa did.@@VeronicaViccora

[@scarlettwinters5642]

Were you really told you were too old to take ballet or that you were too old to be a professional?

[@VeronicaViccora]

@@scarlettwinters5642 when I was 17, I tried to sign up for classes at a local dance studio and the owner wouldn’t let me because she said there was no point. She explained that because I didn’t start when I was kid, my body would never be capable of doing what it was supposed to so I was too old to ever be a ballerina. I’m sure she was probably referring to becoming a professional, but I was too young and insecure to realize that we had different motivations, and instead let her words control my inner narrative for a very long time.

[@scarlettwinters5642]

@@VeronicaViccora That’s really sad! I’m guessing she was talking about being professional but anyone should be able to take at any age. My ballet teacher would have probably said the same thing. He was only interested in making professional dancers and mean as hell. I haven’t danced in a really long time after the mental gymnastics he did to me but am looking into going back
