I'm a dancer myself, this dance teacher was actually nicer then some of the dance teachers I've had. There are diffrent types of dance teachers who have diffrent methods of teaching his method was more strict and some dancers thrive under criticism but others don't ether way I think all there work paid of and they did amazing.

[@hr-qv6wm]

Same sometimes after a dance class my dance techer will just flat out say that our class did aweful and make up dance it until we feel like we are about to pass out. But I still love dance. And so many people don't realise how dance requires so much commitment and communication.

[@yuqigao4860]

I used to have dance Teachers a lot more scary than this and now am having teachers who are really nice. But you do progress faster with the harsh ones, provided you don’t give up.

[@cometwolf1130]

[@artanis6943]

Lynn Buchannon My father and mother raised me. I do not "hate" Jazz-whatever her name is, I just don't like her. I don't think she has any future in dancing at all. I was merely stating my opinion.

Factsss

[@AKam-gb3qi]

As a person who started dance at 19, everyone around me had been dancing for years and years, many even for a decade, and I was a literal toddler amidst a crowd of experienced adults, in both physicality and mentality. So I really connected with these girls' emotional struggles, those things are what you face when you start dancing. For those of you criticizing, don't forget that you had a start too. These girls were complete amateurs and to ask them to instantly hone the mentality of a professional dancer, which is like that of metal steel, is unfair. We should really applaud them for their effort and big jump out of their comfort zone.

[@Raindripple]

You started dance at 19? Man, I don't have the guts to do dance again even though I'm 15. I feel like since there is different levels and experience, I would be put with the inexperience or in my age group where everyone else is more professional at dancing than I would be. That's the thought that scares me the most...

[@cassidydeneau7076]

People are saying the choreographers were too harsh on them, but the whole point was that they train like "professional dancers" As in the type that get to dance with celebrities. And thats the reality of it. They have every aspect of their body criticized and looked at to see how it can be better, and they have to take it and use that to improve, because thats their job.

[@its_a_poncho]

[@avramalexandra3079]

they weren't harsh at all, I've experienced criticism in my dancing way harsh then they did

[@annanardinixxx3769]

They were

[@athenaaaaq]

The choreographer needed to encourage the girls more. I didn’t here one nice or good comment other than the girl choreographer and that doesn’t help the dancer. Dancers need encouragement to get through tough dancers. I get that they were being strict but not one complement is bad. I’ve seen a dancer for 9 years now and it feels amazing to know that you get something right and hear that from your dance teacher.

[@waitwhat5699]

It’s called corrections, and corrections aren’t supposed to be nice or mean. They are criticized to help them try to be better. Check yourself before u wreck yourself

[@Oldbebe123]

Wait what check out Ashley's video correction but also encouraging to find themselves and feel Happy about themselves. Use what they have to their advantage

[@elliswestreich8578]

Dragon_ Fruit•-• i really agree. i am a competitive dancer who dances 12 hours a week and i not only get “work on this” but also “great job on that”. i think their “mental breakdowns” were mostly because they were only getting thing that they need to do better and no positivity.

[@jessicatatum7769]

I've trained in a competitive ballet environment for 10+ years. It's all mental. l'm over the moon if the teacher pays personal attention to me with a correction. Getting told you actually look awful doing a step and getting it fixed is AMAZING. It means that they care about your improvement, harsh or not. However, I also feel like they edited out a lot content from their rehearsals, and I highly doubt that there was no praise given at all.

[@jillianoconnor4016]

that's what good dance teachers do. they're not trying to make you sad or anything they're trying to make you a better dancer

[@martinaduhani5858]

i feel like people underestimate us dancers. dancing is hard mentally and physically. ive been dancing for 6 years now. people have said "ohhh it must be soooo easyyy" but then im like "then try" and they fail. but they still underestimate us saying dancing is not a sport. dancing is a sport and yeahh you can really enyoy doing it but it takes time, practice and confidence. if you're not confident but you still want to dance, DANCE!!! you will build your confidence as time goes by. I PROMISE ITS THE BESTTT THING EVERRR❤

[@carinemcdonald2500]

Martina Duhani ikr Dancers put so much hard work into choreography and have to go through so much pain mentally and physically. This is my 7th year of dance and I consider dance more of a sport than others. Football players only play for seconds at a time dancers can be in a show for 3 - 10 minutes. So we should be more respected for our hard work

[@claireisonfire4859]

I know right, I've been dancing for like 9 years and it is hard, people don't get that us dancer work our butts of to be where we are.

Everyone is saying how the dance coaches were rude but that’s just how the entertainment industry works.

And that’s why the coach’s are there, to let you know what your doing wrong and help you fix it.

[@CutiieDeviilX3]

I much prefer Ashleys transformation, the environment they were in just felt so forced and horrible rather than learning how to move your body and get better. It shows in their end result how they were trained for the month

[@monikas.6536]

I totally agree with you! And I also feel like the tittles for this two videos should be swapped. Ashley really trained like a professional (practising everyday, positive attitude, dealing with the corrections like a real dancer, taking technique classes). This video shows a lot struggles of begginer amateur dancers (learning to get togheter, to take critiques, to deal with insecurities), which is great, but I wouldn't call taking 3 classes a week a professional training.

[@cookiesarelikecream]

I agree. I feel like for this specific environment it’s not beneficial to make beginner and newbie dancers train like professionals who have years of dancing experience. People who train in this setting know basic moves and footwork and how to move their body confidently. The harsh criticism isn’t going to help if they aren’t at the level the choreographers are expecting them to be. Ashley’s dance environment was perfect for a beginner because it required learning and more basic moves. However, I do understand that the point of this video is to show how professional dancers train and how tough it is. Especially when you’re dancing in a group because you have to be in sync. Hopefully this won’t scare or turn off newbies from wanting to learn how to dance

[@miraculouslb_fan8468]

I know you think that this environment isn’t beneficial for newbies but that’s how it works in the dance world. Also most people start learning at the age of 3 or so there aren’t many 20 or so year olds starting to learn how to dance.

[@CutiieDeviilX3]

Mmm but thats the problem with industries, people go along with it and just say this is how it is... There really needs to be a change in the way people are treated and "encouraged" if you can call it that...

[@katbirchall2841]

I dont interact with many people, and although I'm all for critique, I find i'll get emotional if its not worded in a polite way. I find that since i avoid people that are straight to the point I never build up any self confidence so i'll completely beat myself up after any form of criticism. I wish that I had built up that confidence when I was younger, since I have social anxiety now, and although I'm trying to overcome it, it makes small things like criticism so much harder for me.

I am a 11 year old professional dancer. I have preformed in the Nutcracker 4 times and we start training in July for the show in December. Dancing is so much harder then people think. I also take dance class 3 times a week for jazz, contemporary and ballet. Imagine being 11 and constantly being criticized and critiqued about your body and every single move that you make. So, next time you see a dancer and he/she is just working it up on that stage, you gotta think: Wow. Cause all that work that goes into that one or two shows is incredible. Please appreciate dancers and the amazing shows we put on. ❤️

I have been dancing since I was 2 and am now going to college to study dance. Dance is truly one of the hardest things to do mentally, physically, and emotionally. I struggle with my confidence every single day and it honestly puts you in a hole that takes so much time to get out of. I can give advice to just about everyone else to help them be themselves and do well,but when it comes to myself, it is a never ending battle. Seeing this video made me actually really happy. To know that others see how hard it really is and it shows the mental and emotonal component of it is amazing. Many people dont understand the hard work and dedication it takes to do this all. I hope people have a greater appreciation for this art form

Not make your students have a mental breakdown.

Coming from a dancer, this is how the industry works. They were training like PROFESSIONAL dancers. Every teacher teaches in different ways as well! Ashley was just learning how to dance but they were training like professionals thats why they were treated so much more harshly. The industry is cut throat, no sugarcoating!

@@christynj291 dance is almost always about expression and if you have very bold and distinguished features, people are especially drawn to looking at facial expressions. it's important that you emulate the emotion you're trying to convey with your body on your face as well. there's a thing called "lyrical eyebrows" haha and it's essentially moving your eyebrows to express emotions while dancing, mostly in lyrical dancing.

Criticism helps dancers, singers, artists, ect. It lets you know what to improve on. You need to have a backbone to be in the visual arts, I know cause Im a singer and artist.

[@elias1818]

WELCOME TO COMPETITIVE DANCING. They don't care how good you are, you can always be better. As a competitive dancer I cried multiple times from the critique I got. You have to be better otherwise your not good. But they critique you because they want to see you succeed. Sorry to say but that coach was actually nice compared to my old one. Experience is how you are able to see how they were trained in this video. Unless you literally make a move COMPLETELY flawless, you will not get any compliments. You learn to deal as a dancer because for every 10 nos, your gonna get one yes.

And if you fail, fail with grace and with an attitude that says "I'm still better than you'll ever be" because you probably are. (I know what I'm talking about, I'm 5'7 and 175lbs, I was always the "big one" in my dancing group)

[@egeceler7024]

Anna I feel you. I danced too and believe me, with girls who look like ballerinas. So I know that feeling. But it's sad that you have given up on your passion because of that. Nobody is perfect but it shouldn't be an excuse for anyone to give anything up. Self love is important. Don't let negative thoughts stand in your way. Plus, I find it boring when every single member of the group looks alike. Okay, so maybe you know your "difference", how about embracing it?

As a dancer it is nice to see people showing the emotional as well as the physical pain you get put through. The constant critique and even the feeling that you aren't good enough. Dance isn't a hobby or a cute tutu and a leotard. It is hard and mentally challenging, but it's worth it and it is beautiful. I think their dance turned out really well in the end.

This is a beautiful video! People underestimate us dancers because they think it's easy and a waste of money. Nothing ticks me of more when someone says that dance is not a sport! It's just so rude! I have danced since I was 4-5 so 6-7 years and it's hard work! I would be lying if I said that I haven't cried before and exam or show, there's just so much pressure and if you mess up you mess everyone up! I loved the teacher so much because he reminds me of my ballet teacher! She makes us work hard and she HATES wimps! You can NOT be a wimp in her class! This video so amazing and one of my favourite videos ever. Edit: Wow okay first I would like to thank you for over 2 k likes, that's amazing, and second, yes I believe dance is an art form too, it's both a sport and an art. Dance is also a way of expressing yourself, no matter if you've never danced a day in your life or have been doing it your whole life! Dance is hard and I'm not saying that your going to be amazing on the first day but saying that you don't need to be experienced to have fun, and having fun is the most important part of dance if it's a sport or not.

I can relate to their insecurities and what they went through. I've also cried, I've also been picked apart piece by piece, insecurity by insecurity. Dance is relentless. I can tell they put in a ton of both physical and emotional work. And it paid off. I'm so proud. Thank you for showing me dance is still possible.

Although it comes across rude, their hard critiques that are meant to better the performance (This happens in all occupations but especially in dance, it is a hard sport that calls for a lot of "perfection"). I do agree that both of them could have been a bit nicer due to the girls being relatively new to dance however the teachers, being professional dancers/choreographers, have been conditioned to tell the truth to better their performance (sometimes the things that seem most brutal cause the most change). The girls all killed at the end despite their previous experience so all the instruction given helped. I personally know this to be true because I take dance myself too.

I'm a dancer and you can absolutely have teachers and choreographers who critique you without shaming you or discouraging you. There is a difference. Look at Ashley's video. The guy she worked with was so nice, but still honest. The dance world is cut-throat, and there often are harsh body-shaming teachers, but that doesn't mean it's good. That doesn't mean it's okay.

Being a full-time dancer myself it’s actually so refreshing to know that I'm not crazy for having a breakdown most weeks! These girls did this for a month and by week three they were really struggling with the mental game and that's only doing one style! I do all styles, all day, everyday. Mentally it's challenging but I feel like when I tell people that I'm mentally struggling that always say "why its only dancing" but try being put down for your body imagine everyday, having to stare at your body and insecurities in a mirror and the constant rejection of the industry. People always ask me "if you’re feeling like that and are being told those things why do you still do it" but it's the love for what I do and being on stage that gets me through everyday.

I’ve been dancing professionally for 8 years, it’s not that deep. these women are being incredibly over dramatic. Everyone’s getting offended because the dancer said something about the bigger chick needing to try harder, it’s true, one sharp move pointing your arm to the ground looks dramatic and sharp on a thin dancer but on a bigger dancer it’s harder to see and do the movement, you have to exaggerate the move more so it looks as it is suppose too

However, you have to remember that these 5 girls are NOT used to being critiqued every day over these things. They’re going into it nervous and self conscious already, knowing that they’re not professional, and then they practice every day for 4 weeks, and every single day they only hear their flaws. They’re just not used to it. That’s not dramatics. That’s just being human. I don’t think he was being too hard on them, and I also don’t think they were being dramatic.

I’m 20 years old and I started dancing not long ago. You’re five years younger than I am. If you start now, in my age you’ll be amazing! I wish I was your age so it’d be easier now. I can’t go back in time however. That’s why I train 6h (sometimes more) a day. I’m determined to be better and better everyday. If you want to be dancer, go ahead. My parents are just like yours, but I know better, so do you. Good luck in whatever you choose to do.

I know this is late but same dude

[@HH-il7dm]

It’s good if you try it out. Do what suits to you and then you show it to your parents that they are wrong haha.

[@colleenc.8051]

couldn’t take my eyes off kelsey. you can tell she was a competitive dancer, it really is in the face!

[@karisamendes]

watching this one after the Ashely's video....this is not good

[@marcusanderson7198]

Karisa Mendes yea it was like completely different

[@angelswolf]

Karisa Mendes my thought exactly. I want to learn to dance, and I'd much rather have someone like Ashley's teacher (Kyle) than this guy. He was a prick, professional or not.

[@iillamaiihehe6793]

Karisa Mendes same

[@Blackoreanfemale]

Karisa Mendes AGREED

[@maxleong304]

these are some of the close to og buzzfeed content where they learn to make something new or embrace their desire to perform; show vulnerability in raw emotions and then came up to wow everyone at the end. can't believe kelsey, lindsay, jazz, michelle and jordan were doing this a long time ago. mad props to how far they have achieved since.

[@loopwxrld3063]

I think alll the girls did amazing! And I can’t believe they did that but, Jasmine did PHENOMENAL on that dance!! I wouldn’t have had anywhere near as much confidence as she did. Wow

[@shrutij9842]

Jazzmyne is pretty the way she is. I hate people who decrease their self confidence. Meaning I know that every one in this world is insecure but gurl learn to be yourself and not care about what other people say about you. You do you gurl. Be yourself and do not think about what other people are going to say to you. In the end, it is your life and no one has the right to control it. So, have fun and be confident. Those insecurities are going to be there but you have that chance to use it to build your confidence. Life gives you many chances for that. All those people with insecurities out there, please embrace all your perfections and all your imperfections because no one is perfect. It is your mindset that makes you think like 'Oh, maybe I'm not good looking because I do not fit these standards of people for whom they think are pretty.' Just please do not think like that and do not degrade yourself. Because you are pretty the way you are.

[@shrutij9842]

It is not only Jazzmyne but the other girls also. All of them are extremely pretty.

[@shelbyhamilton3892]

shruti janakiraman Yes!!

[@madison.m5949]

They should try ballet or contemporary or tap! for a month

[@hysterika]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@scouxtmsp3832]

[@somebooksandcats]

madison .m no Celtic they should try Celtic

[@cindythepotato7429]

They should try Hip-Hop

[@rosieesor]

madison .m Anything but sexy dancing.

[@rosemaryazelton2734]

As a dancer, they honestly did really well for people with little dance experience. You all are beautiful, and don't you forget it.

[@gabby-zo7ud]

I’m younger, but there’s a league called PopWarner. In the league, there’s competitive cheer and dance. There’s practice Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and sometimes Wednesday. This is on top of school, and our performance during competition is usually 3 minutes long. This performance takes us weeks to learn. The problem is, while you’re competing, your natural instinct will compare yourself to anyone else who seems better in your mind. I love how they become confident in the end.
