"I cook a MEAN spagh ball"
~ Top quote of 2019

[@CaliV.]

"I cook a mean spag bol"
😂😂😂

[@pointeparis6944]

This is a wonderful video! It really sweeps aside the unfair misconceptions that ballerinas are haughty anorexics. Really great :)

[@EPARKY132]

The adrenaline thing never occurred to me before!I understand how it works and everything, but I never thought to apply that to the real world! It must be a huge strain on the body, wow.

[@AliceFittock]

It's "Berocca," it's a tablet you put it water and it makes it orange and fizzy. It contains lots of vitamins and minerals, it's supposed to improve your daily physical performance or something like that, I take it, it's good :)

[@kaca2903]

Liked the editing.

[@lizzyodie]

i would love tht!!! being part of a ballet company is y dream job well just dancing in general but being part of a company is amazing and also dancing on maybe like tv shows like xfactor as like a backround dancer would be amazing but this is my dream job!!!!

[@losebellyfatfast1475]

awesome video. Fantastic work. gain a lot of knowledge from this clip.

[@pointeparis6944]

Because when you've had your feet squashed into a tight pointe shoes and you've been dancing strenuously for maybe even 8 hours, your feet will have swelled to massive proportions. They'll probably be in a lot of pain and they'll be red and puffy. What do you do when something is swollen? You cool it down. With that in mind, with feet double their size you'd probably want to dunk them in a big bucket of ice wouldn't you? :D

[@zixiong681]

yeah. it's been 7 years since you've commented this but everyday after class my favourite thing at home is dunking my entire lower calves and feet into an ice bucket (and food). It feels sooooo good.

[@Vannessa1793]

Being a ballet dancer is definitly my alter ego

[@ballerinamama]

Wow! What an awesome video/documentary! And so so true!

[@TsubasaDreams]

Fantastic video! It gives great insight to a dancer's lifestyle.

[@pipswindow6791]

I fractured My 5th Metatasil as well! And anyone else watching this in 2016? i think i have a problem...

[@tuns-fk1lb]

me

[@Clawsandthings81]

I can't wait to start living like this!

[@monicacaldeira210]

Muito bacada discutir o que está atrás da dança, a rotina de uma pessoa em que tudo compõe o trabalho.

[@ashotofmercury]

Does anyone know what dance 4:28 is from?? It looks amazing!

[@morgan.r_taylor]

Probably a contemporary peice

[@kamwrites]

Dark haired dancer looks so much like the Center Stage actress.

[@annedance99]

yeah I have tendonitis in my right foot/leg and I'm en pointe and sometimes that wears me down. Thankfully I have around 10 gel packs lol:D

[@moshwoom]

This is a great video!

[@maggymarjorie320]

wooow! no words!

[@aimarafs83]

i love this video i find it so exciting to have an insight into the Australian Ballet Company I'm a ballet dancer and one day i would love to be part of the company

[@jessicadutoit2827]

I am working hard towards that dream too

[@m00nsheep]

To gain more foot strength after wearing pointes.

[@jenni32874]

I would love to be the massage therapist for a ballet company like this!

[@Larindarr]

Injury prevention: Correct positioning.

[@SukLengWong]

I would do anything to be able to shadow the physiotherapists at the Australian Ballet.

[@pointeparis6944]

Hahaha if only it were as simple as that...

[@asimp.6334]

No offense to the ballerinas out there:
I’ve never imagined a ballerina eating jellybeans. Since my mother was forever like, “THEY MUST EAT LIKE, ONLY A BIT OF YOGURT AND AN APPLE AND SOME WATER, TO STAY THAT THIN,”

[@noaerlitzki7639]

What are they saying, "borocca"? And then they show some tablets and an orange drink...? They have it before a performance I think they said. Around 1:26

[@genericyoutubehandle.]

It's a vitamin tablet!

[@krystalannawilliams2653]

why are there food in shoes?

[@susyarboleda3819]

hey do you guys think i can be a ballerina ?? because i just start ballet and im 13

[@anam.pelegrino9244]

Susy é

[@ritaleonidas399]

Misty Copeland only started when she is 13 and she is a principal dancer

[@tutus4life]

muscle recovery and injury prevention. 20min ice, 20 mins off, repeat repeat repeat.

[@bellafovinci1121]

Me just thinking about how the thumbnail costed about 600 dollars

[@noramcnabb1361]

700. There were 7 pairs of shoes plus the food

[@anneliu8562]

Pineapple😂

[@pnoyremix]

[@pnoyremix]

Lily Raimey thanks for that explanation! it doesn't sound or look appealing. lol

[@tuns-fk1lb]

+Lily Raimey it thinks its marmite

[@user-ri9ht4vb9m]

+pnoyremix It's risotto, the first guy says risotto

[@mariakikina]

[@girlwiththegreenhair]

to relax them and to heal the pain
