For the young dancers at the Youth America Grand Prix, one of the world's most prestigious ballet competitions, lifelong dreams are at stake. With hundreds competing for a handful of elite scholarships and contracts, practice and discipline are paramount, and nothing short of perfection is expected. Bess Kargman's award-winning documentary, FIRST POSITION, follows six young dancers as they prepare for a chance to enter the world of professional ballet, struggling through bloodied feet, near exhaustion and debilitating injuries all while navigating the drama of adolescence. A showcase of awe-inspiring talent, tenacity and passion, FIRST POSITION paints a thrilling and moving portrait of the most gifted young ballet stars of tomorrow.
this looks like on of those movies i enjoy but come out feeling like dam i need to do something with my life
and then continue to stuff my face with chocolate and binge watch nexfilx series
lol cant argue with that!
True and then your like awe man I need to do some yoga or something and then never get off the couch

So true. l'll skip the movie so as to avoid those side effects.

I'm a ballet dancer and i love dancing but sometimes i just want to quit.People don't realize how hard and painfull it is,you have to be the best,you have the act like everything is okay but it's not.I want to be a profesional dancer and i want to dance ballet for the rest of ma life :) So even if it is hard i won't quit because i love it
yeah thats what you call passion ... i like ... im a danseur ... and my dream is to be a proffessional ballet dancer in the future.... ballet Philippines..
Mr.Music Gaming yes!!!
That's great :)
+Ines Parić Courage!!!! Believe in yourself!!! You can do it!!!
I did it until I was 11 when I quit because I had a rare foot problem and would never dance on pointe.
I'm doing ballet, but I'm feeling like I'm losing my life. I never able to see my friends at school. But when I go to dance I'm excited, but then when I'm at school I'm dreading it. Can anyone relate?
SuperRainbowSky - SuperRainbowSky I can defininatley relate. Going to class is torture but for the shows, it's all worth it. I just recently got my pointe shoes and it's amazing
i am dancing right now but before i had to quit for a while and it was terrible so dont ever quit! The performances make it so worth it
I do! I play the piano and the violin and my dream is to be a musician, I spend all my time practising but when I see how different my life is from others' I really feel like I'm wasting my time doing something I'll be never able to do perfectly...
Isia Sooth I do exactly the same thing, same instruments. Relate so much to this...
+Isia Sooth if you want to be a musician, and are happy from your self.. dont think about others, just think and worry about yourself and your future, keep practcing and one day you will get it! like me, I always wanted to be the 1st cello in the orchestra, imagine in the orchestra, im the leader someone important, and I got it, not by a wind that passed by, but by years of practicing and believing in my self.. I always dreamt of being a professional musician, and one day I'll get it, cus I believe in my self and I will fear nothing infront of me, just keep going on the right path!
and its better to focus on 1 instrument, Peace :)
for all those people who don't think ballet is a sport... IT IS!!! it's categorized in performing arts.. sure it's different from football, or soccer or volleyball.. but IT IS A SPORT OK.
+Yannie Lee not all sports have to win
It was on the olympics. I think we're done here
+hsieh yoko It isn't, but who cares?
+hsieh yoko It's not just a sport, its an art :)
+hsieh yoko i totally agree, it's so hard and you you have to be so fit.
The little blonde boy Aran now has an apprenticeship with ABT!
HopeAJTayFerry and now he just debuted romeo!!
and is now a principal
Incredible! So glad to see him as a principal!!
So many people don’t realize how challenging ballet really is. Pursuing this as a career takes so much not just physically, but mentally as well
Me before watching : I wanna be a dancer!
Me after watching: I have no chance in hell
Honey that's not why they call you barbie
why did they call her barbie
What I was thinking
Ellina Nefeli cause she is pink everything😂
Mhm, that's what I was thinking

as a dancer I find this relatable and inspiring
I fell in love with the dancers introduced. They were amazing and their passion was fulfilling(as im an artist and i can relate). Ballet is a beautiful thing and they showed more emotion, passion, determination then that nutcracker dance i went to see a couple of years ago(although im beginning to think i'd appreciate it even more had i seen this first). Gaia was my favorite. To me, she just had this persona that took over her body, movements,attitude, and emotions and she embodied that character and i loved seeing all her dances, so flawless. Rebecca messed up alittle, but she did this emotional, beautiful last dance that won my heart. Michaela, im so proud of you! She, even with the pain, went through it and i was amazed and mesmerized by her performance; i have to say i was very emotional before her performance for fear of her foot. Aran, i was cursing the judges at the end, but then they gave you what you deserved, which was exactly what you deserved!And Joan, you were amazing and im glad you reached your goal. Great job to all the dancers for trying sooo hard in a competitive environment from such a young age, for their passion. This documentary was beautiful.
And also, Miko! I just loved her final dance. It was brilliant! Loved her attitude!!!
Everyone tells me I'm talented but they're wrong, I'm nothing compared to these kids. (I'm 12) I've choreographed since I was 7 and I still do it. Even if I continue I'll never make it into profession because I can't show emotion. I have emotions but I can only express them in words and thoughts not facial expressions. I want to be a writer, I've been told I'm good at writing, but I want to dance. I'm a natural with music, especially with composing and playing by ear. I've done plays before, my memory is amazing but I can't show a large range of emotion. I'm stuck in advanced classes, a mostly straight A student (a few B+'s here and there) and one of the most avid readers in my grade. But I'll never make a profession from dance like I've always wanted just because I can't show emotion. I've been latching onto ballroom dance but there's no classes in the area, I feel guilty for preferring latin and ballroom over ballet and lyrical because all I've wanted to do was be a ballerina since I was 3. If you can suggest anything I can do in my career, go ahead but professional dancer has a very low chance of ever happening.
....wow....just.....wow....
ur talented just the way u are. if u wanna kill urself over training go ahead and follow these kids. but just chill and be urself
If you like to choreograph, you're good with music, and you're good at writing, have you ever thought about writing musicals? :)
In Ballet you do not need facial expression. You show your emotions through the dance it does not belong to your face you know ?
Hey, I know it's been a month since you wrote this but... there's still time to grow. You're only twelve. I don't mean that in a patronizing way. All I mean is that there's still so much time for you to learn and to improve. Anything is possible with enough effort. Really, truly. Please don't fence yourself in mentally with "I can't" and "I'll never" because you can if you're insane enough to believe that you will. One can learn to express emotion just as well as one can learn technique. Sure, it's harder and it'll take hours and hours of scrutiny, analysis, tweaking, reworking, repeating. Maybe it won't come naturally as it might for others - maybe you'll have to use muscle memory to remember how each count could be expressed and practice that until on stage, it seems like the emotion comes freely, inspired. Anyways, my point is, there is nothing that is impossible. Sometimes, social or financial situations may counter hard work but lack of talent never will. Lack of talent (in your case, lack of expressiveness) will always be overcome by effort. Especially when you've got such a long way to go (and grow) ahead of you. Sorry this is so long, I felt it was important. I do hope you read it though. Good luck.
They r lucky to live in those countries where there are opportunities.
Vera soo lucky
Omg when I saw this video I was like I am hopeless
Claire Camilleri ux l-iktar fil pirouettes
Alicia Mae Schembri i wish i could
i live in greece which is a country in which you can dance and perform ballet but you cannot be like these ballerinas and this so dissapointing😔i wish i lived in an other country so i could be one of them... but i wont quit ballet!!
One of the best Ballet films I've ever seen
Ashlee T. // the best
I'm fucking 16 and I am in nowhere in those moves and technique
I feel ya
i dance like since i am 3 and I still can't dance like these people. it's very hard work
Bea U. I'm 16 and I've only just started pointe work
Bea U. im turning 16 soon and I'm starting ballet again after resting for 10 years lolol and I lost my flexibility. I'm bit worried
dayo How did it go for you? Did you actually start ballet again?
I want to be a ballet dancer so bad. Not as a career but it's so beautiful and you have to be strong to make something look so easy
*UPDATE* I started ballet this year and am in grade 4. I just passed my junior 2 jazz exam :) I've had to miss some school, stay up late for homework, not be able to hang out with friends after school, and can't feel my legs or sit down sometimes but it's worth it and I couldn't have made a better choice of a sport.
+GERARD LEONARD This is so cool & inspiring to hear. I'm 14 and I want to start ballet to be honest. I have dance experience for about 10 years, but I stopped when I was 13 and only 1/2 years were ballet classes & I was like 4 haha. I don't know if I should start ballet, but I do really want to. Idk, what do you think?
I'm a ballet dancer and I've seen this so many times I've lost count.
Micheala has a book called "Hope in a Ballet Shoe" its amazing and you should read it!
I love ballet, I've been doing it my whole life. Sometimes people don't understand how hard it is. When you're on pointe, one little mistake could ruin your whole ballet career. There are so many skills to ballet you must master, like high legs, straightened knees, I could go on and on. Sadly, I must quit ballet to pursue my skating career.
Ughhh I want to be a ballerina so so bad it is such a beautiful type of dancing but I am 17!! Its so graceful and looks so effortless but you work so hard and I just wish I could have done it since I was like three. Ugh I want to be a ballerina
You can still start, there are very slim chances you'll make it professionally but it's still so fun!
It's never too late to start, it will just require lots of hard work, practice and passion
A friend of my mother has a son who got a degree in Genetics and was half way through a Masters (he was about 22 at the time) when he took a ballet class just as something to keep active. He's 28 now and working full time as a ballet dancer for an Irish dance troupe. I know it sounds insane but he just loved it from the minute he started it and so he gave up everything and went for it. It is possible to start late, you just have to give it everything you've got.
+black4minister Your comment is really inspiring
I started when I as 17, two years ago, now I'm 19 an about to audition to enter my dance competition team! It's never too late, my ballet teacher's mom is also a ballet teacher, she started to dance when she was 22 and she became a profesional dancer with her own dance studio, she's in her sixties and sometimes she gives us classes, she's awesome and so flexible too! I hope that as soon as you read my comment you pick yourself up, go and get a pair of dance shoes and sign up to a dance studio, coming from a dancer who started late, i promise you, you won't regret it!
I have seen this movie 17 times. I compete at YAGP and I got to meet and hug miko fogarty. She is so sweet and is 15 now. I did really really well in the competition and this movie and this trailer gives me chills every time I watch it. I cannot wait till I am a profecional.
I am amazed by these dancers how much time they give and all theirs hard work an passion. I wish I could have that discipline and not to be lazy. Respect to ballet dancers
Im a ballet dancer...sometimes i was thinking that i wont become a ballerina...but you have to go through all of your problems..and continue doing what you clearly love...follow your heart, follow your Dreams and dont let anyone stop you...cause YOU are special..this message is for People that think they are going to quit ballet or saying that they are bad.. but follow the things i Said and nothing Will stand in your way.. ❤️❤️❤️😘😗😙😚
Im a dancer now for 11years its hard work I push and push my self dancing is not gust a hobby its a way of life I live in the world of dance I love it it amazing but its hard you have to be willing to give up everything for it if you want to be a great dancer you have to work for it it might be hard and sore but if you dont put blood sweat and tears then there no point of trying go hard or go low reach for the light and dont give up stay strong xox
Thank you
This film is about a competition for young dancers, and the audiences are filled with family members and friends who clap, cheer, whistle, scream, etc., to express their excitement and support (and hope that the judges will take notice).
so many, so many dancers out there with the same dream, and yet so so few make it (not to just quote the trailer, just something ive been recently reminded of), i wish all the dancers in this movie the best in life!
I was once a ballet dancer and I know how hard the training is every day
They are all beautiful, all winners
OMG Colombia!!! I almost cry....
The pain it takes to create beauty. So much respect for ballet dancers.
This movie is so incredible if you have not seen I strongly recommend it! Very motivational and heart warming. A fantastic movie about the lives of some very talented dancers.
im doing it this year
good luck !! 🍀
Queens aj seems it went well by your profile pic.
Nothing better.
Dancing classic ballet.
i read an article on michaela, how she grew up an orphan and wanted to be a dancer, but people didnt like her because of her skin condition, but look at her now, a awesome dancer.
oh my gooood MIKO FOGARTY... i love her so much *-*
ENORMOUSLY Awesome.. Each n every Ballet Dancers..
Then there's me.. a 15 year old ballerina that can't do anything right 🙃
KreativeKat LPS Relatable. Ask your teacher what you can do outside of class to improve
KreativeKat LPS Same lol Except I'm a contemporary dancer
KreativeKat LPS I’m a 17 yo male ballet / hip hop dancer and I can barley do 2 pirouettes
Dont give up and train

They're all amazing I love this movie ❤
We watched this in my dance class at school. Loved it so much!
being a ballet dancer not only hurts, you have to focus on it, spend money on it... But still, it's all worth it.
Ugh, what i hate the most is buying many many many pointe shoes. :( I never get to spend time with friends anymore
Do your relatives know you are a Ballerina? My Cousin receives pointe shoes for Christmas about 30 at a time. No one forgets she is Ballerina.
uh no. they don't..
Ariana true.. Pointe shoes are expensive especially When your feet is growing.. and you have to buy again.. and then grow and then buy..and practices are getting daily Nowwww...
There are sooooo many talented dancers out there!!!
1:56 hebreewwwwww hell ye go for itt im so jellous that they are in the comp , as a ballet dancer myself its my bigest dream!!💟
Part of the reason ballet is so hard for me is that I'm not naturally flexible, and a lot of people in my class and also the owner of my studio are flexible, and it makes me scream when they say I need to have a deeper plié and higher over splits. They don't get how hard I work. And then this lazy girl just got pointè shoes and they're still telling me I need to work harder to get them. And my mom keeps pressuring me to do extra classes when I already am.
i love ballet and been dancing since 3 years old. i got to watch this movie
Even for someone who is not a dancer, this film just shows that if you believe your dream is worth it, then pursue it. I love the sundance film festival, they always show fantastic movies.
like not taking away from ballet its hard work and dedication, but so is anything else like anyone that takes anything seriously enough to make a carrer out of it, ends up giving up their childhood, friends, basically their life. we all got to do what we have to do, to do what we want to do.
If my friends are out in town or having parties and sleepovers and I’m at home or in the dance studio working hard xx dance is my life
I totally agree. Ballet is SO MUCH more. So many people miss out on the artistry.
Omg Michaela! I did a homeschool project all about her! She's so inspiring!😊
I've been dancing since I was 4, and I've wanted to go on pointe since I was 11 (I'm 14 now) and I've always been told "your body isn't the correct one to be en pointe" "your thighs are too thick" "your feet are too flat" "I just can't see you do it" and that's made me want to do it even more. I don't think I've worked with ballet harder than I have within the last 7 years dancing. I'm hoping to get en pointe next year (this september), if not, I'm not going to stop trying
Damn I wish I started as a young little child! Now I'm freaking 16.. fml
Same :(
You can still start
Misty Copland started when she was 15
it's okay it age dosen't matter that much
Lion Heart age doesn't matter. It's all about the soul trust me if you want to then you can
I watched this movie on Netflix. It was really good ☺️
It is hard ballet i begon with ballet when i was 3 and now i am 14 and still doing ballet and even if it is hard its enjoying to make people smile and i am really happy that this movie came out
all this for just a few minutes on stage... inspiring, ballet is my life
this is amazing, finally a movie that shows that to be a professional dancer is very VERY difficult. but even so, it is a masterpiece!
I got chills, I need to see this.
I have the movie at home and it will be my favorite for ever
I have done ballet since I was 5. I'm now 9. I have worked so hard to be perfect!
I cry now....like omg...
My dream is to be a ballet dancer
I love my studio and my training. I don't want to quit ever. I will pursue my career and my dream as a ballet dancer. yagp is my dream!!!!!!!
I read Michaela DePrince's Story. It's honestly one of the best storys I've ever read. Truly inspiring. I reccomed you to read it if your it if you are interested in ballet.
After watching this before I went to a ballet audition I was motivated. I worked hard and made it in, eventually got to the New York summer intensives for ABT :)
Michaela has written a book, and is quite the accomplished professional dancer.
Watched it twice, amazing movie to watch in everyway
ballet is my childhood and nobody can tell me otherwise
It brings such peace
I agree so much! Its really annoying when the audience claps in the middle of a dance, they never get to really appreciate the emotions the dance is trying to convey.
I really liked ballet class and I still miss it😥😥😥
WHEN I SEE BALLET, I THINK IAM IN THE CLOUDS OF A BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN
I hope all these kids succeed !! God bless their souls ..ballet is so gracious and beautiful ❤
Oh absolutely, I totally agree, it is first and foremost entertainment but it always means and feels so much deeper to those who do it or have done it before as compared to someone watching it purely for entertainment, if that makes sense. I suppose it boils down to I think people would enjoy it so much more if they knew its inner workings and exactly how much work goes into those moves, the power, the strength, and complexities of delivering it to an audience, it's truly an awe inspiring art.
I’ve done ballet since I was five but not in a proper Academy. I wish I had... I wish I could have had their training
This makes me miss ballet, I've done it since I was four but quit when I was ten because it was too expensive.
Taekwondo isn't the same...
yeah I had to quit for the same reason.
I'm soooooooooo jealous!!!
this would make a much better series
I did ballet when i was 4, im 13 today and i regret quitting so much, i quit for some reason becuz i didnt like it as much as i do now, it seems so amazing❤ im not as flexible as that but i am a gymnast today hoping to become a ballerina
i have goosebumps...
I love ballet and it is my life.
Michaelas story is so sad 😔 but beautiful and amazing at the same time ☺
I started ballet when I was for 4 and then 2 years later I moved house. I noticed that my mum wasn't taking me to ballet anymore, and I was like, 'mum, why aren't you taking me to ballet anymore?' And she said 'because it's too far away' and I was like ' oh, okay. ' SO MUCH REGRET now.
As an American it drives me nuts too!!! I like to go to a ballet to see the beauty of the dancing playing out a story, not to hear clapping and cheering after each and every scene, it disrupts the story and experience.
that made me work a lot harder on stretching because i saw how much better i could get ! it helped me a lot with vaulting
This video made me think about how much i love dance
It never stops hurting because progress never stops. Once you've reached the splits? Go for the over-splits. Once you're on pointe? Longer times dancing and more difficult sequences. And as well as this, the injuries are often laid upon each other.
I don't mean it disrupts the dancer, of course a dancer loves to hear applause at their efforts (I did ballet for 8 years and was in The Nutcracker) I simply mean it disrupts the enjoyment of the audience when people clap after every minutely impressive move they see, even a simple pirouette which to a ballet minded person is nothing. It'd be like someone clapping after every line an actor delivers in a movie, it just muffles the story and experience.
i got the chills i'm so happy i do dance
Gives me goose bumps every time!
this movie look awesome. One friend said me "ballet is, easy i know you practice a lot but man you only move around and use point is not difficult". I saw her witth a poker face; This movie is perfect for the people dont understand the sacrify of a ballet dancer
Jaycee Wilkins got in the top 24 for her classical at the YGP this year and top 3 for contemporary in the 12-14 division and she is only 12!! Congrats
..... Now I wishI can see this inspiring movie... always wanted to dance like a ballerina but didn't make it, so I continued on with another dream 😀
This makes me tear up and i don't even know why...
I studied ballet from the time I was 6. When I was 12, the teacher pulled my mother aside and said "She will never be a dancer". And that was it for me.
I wasn't allowed to dance. So instead I am a musician, but seeing things like this remind me so much why I want to dance. I want to be a dancer, I want to do ballet. I don't care if I'm the worst dancer that ever exsisted, But i want to learn.
I have ballet tonight yay! But I’m scared because I have to do five a la second turns before doing a calypso into a quad in lyrical. Hopefully I do all the turns.
Miko💕💕
This movie really makes people appreciate what ballerinas go through a lot more
so cool. I don't have the talent but even if I did I wouldn't have the dedication for ballet. I think male ballet dancers are awesome as well
I think basically not many Americans understand ballet. They see a neat turn OOOO CLAP CLAP CLAP!!! Then they see grand jete and OOOOO CLAP CLAP!!!! Not knowing that it's not just a display of neat looking move but oftentimes a story or message conveyed through movement. It's depth, it's feeling, it's passion, not just "Wow! She did the splits in the air!"
El ballet es HERMOSO!!!
I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND I UNDERSTAND THEME BECAUSE ME TOO I AM A DANCER .It''s just beautiful at the same time dangerous
so much respect for them
