Day in the Life of a Professional Ballet Dancer ~ Nutcracker Vlog 2021

- Ever wondered what it’s like to be backstage performing the Nutcracker in a World renowned Ballet Company? Come behind the scenes with me as I perform as an Aunt in Party Scene, Snowflake in snow scene, And Flower, Sister and Arabian Lady in the Land of Sweets. Every year this ballet company takes a flight to Orange County California to perform at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts. I will show you guys a typical performance day which always starts with ballet class at barre. We have rehearsals during the day and perform at night. I answer questions that you asked on Instagram in a little Q&A and talk all about performing the Nutcracker as a kid and then as an adult.

Everything I use to film:
While I am on the go, I film with my iPhone 11 Pro Max on the Dji Mobile Osmo 3. This allows me to get super smooth shots. I combine that with the either the Saramonic lavalier mic or Rhode mic and use a mount to attach it to the gimbal.

Microphone mount for gimbal:

Lavalier Mic:
amzn.to/3VzFGpz
Rhode Compact Mic:
amzn.to/3gKmp5L
When I film at my apartment, I use my iPhone Pro Max as the main camera and my Canon 6D with the 24-105 f/4 lens for B-roll and photos. For the overhead shots, I use an overhead camera rig to mount my Canon 6D and connect a camera monitor so I can view the shot. And when my camera is set up on the ground, I use a quick release tripod. For lighting, I use the Neewer ring light and for audio, the Saramonic lavalier mic or Rhode mic (Linked Above).

Love the back stage magic......and fun coworkers......🧚♂️
Yes my coworkers are amazing!
Ahh love watching your videos! So great to be able to see what actually happens behind the curtains and a bit if the awesome team you get to work with
Thanks! 😊
I danced for a ballet company years ago. The Nutcracker was always something I looked forward doing to every holiday. I never got tired of it.
Nutcracker was AMAZING!!! Went to 3 shows and you guys rocked!! Loved seeing you dance Sisters Emily! And Jonathan was fantastic in the Chinese dance!! So good to see Courtney and Catherine!! You should do more ballet videos!! :)
I love how courtney says she's had a pretty bad year and then smiles after
Nutcracker (Casse Noisette) isn't really a part of Christmas tradition in France. So, I don't know really the music, or even the Ballet. But, you make me want to see more. So thank to you for that.
Before, I was totally insensitive to ballet dancing, even though I have a cousin in my family who almost became a professional dancer, and now teaches ballet. Even though, I have artistic work..., but I don't know, it didn't affect me.
Today (it's been a long time actually), after years of practicing Martial Arts (I see similarities between martial arts and ballet / dance), I see the bodily performance, I even admire it. And followed the beauty. I now see how beautiful classical dance is. And even more, I follow a ballet dancer on TH-cam !!!
So thank you again for making me appreciate the world of ballet even more.
This was amazing. I am in awe of your athletic ability and beautiful dancing. Thank you so much for sharing.
Nice peak into a dancer's life, thanks, Emily, for taking up my suggestion! Awaiting more videos :)
This vlog was so well made, I enjoyed every second of it!
Love this! Please post a full follow-along dancer's stretching routine to do at home! Love XXX
I love watching these videos before I do a show! I have a show to do tomorrow and I live to watch these!
Wow! That was so cool! Thank you for sharing!
What a privilidge to see behind the scenes. Thank you for sharing
That was awesome, Emily! Thanks for sharing💗
Thanks for watching 🥰
Love it!!
My nutcracker auditions are on September 3rd! I think I have a shot of getting a good part this year! I've been so ill I couldn't dance last year... I'm back now and I can't wait! ❤️
That is Catherine Hurlin as Clara - she played Clara in the first performance of ABT's Nutracker and I was in the audience in New York - actually, it was in Brooklyn. I saw her as a student in the JKO School and she was obviously a standout and headed for the company. She's a Soloist with the ABT Company now.
So fun!
so beautiful~!!!!😍😍너무 예쁘고 아름다워요. 항상 응원할게요. 앞으로도 재밌는 영상 부탁해요♥
So much fun to watch, more backstage vlog please❤️
Ill keep them coming!
I see the Nutcracker in two weeks. Can't wait.
yes!!! this is amazing!!!! please keep making Day in the Life videos :)
Will do!
I remember doing the nutcracker this year, and at my ballet we have fairies(No angels or mother ginger) and I played as one of tall fairies and it was amazing to do that role.
you all ballroom gowns are adorable
You and your co-workers are all amazing dancers! I aspire to be this good!
Thanks! And Im sure you will get there 🥰
More like this please!
aha I love Courtney’s corner like we need a everything Courtney channel!!!
Happy New Year, dear Emily! I hope you will have a great 2022!!!🥰🍾🥂
Thanks!
Cute watching backstage..greetings from a Yiayia in South Australia
I got Mouse Queen this year! Btw Courtney’s Corner was so funny “Because we need suger”! ❤❤❤
Love this video!!!! So funny! 😂😂
Hehehe 😊
The Nutcracker, my favourite! And you and Jonathan are amazing in it!!!! Thank you for this insight, I really enjoyed watching this video! 🥰🤩
Glad you enjoyed it!
You three are fabulous
Thanks!
The ABT Nutcracker is an entirely different Nutcracker from Balanchine's which I was used to and saw many times at NYC Ballet. I consider that the definitive Nutcracker because it is Balanchine. ABT wanted obviously their own production, and this is a reimagining of Nutcracker. Who was the choreographer?
please do a stage makeup tutorial, i love yours! i always end up making my eyes look tiny
❤️
Thanks a lot !
This was amazing! Thanks for sharing! 💖
Glad you enjoyed it!
OMG I dance in that studios and misty Copland is like my ballet bestie
We are awesome
my dream is to dance with ABT, i danced at the summer intensives for a bit... love this video so much💝💝💝
Keep dreaming big and working hard! 🥰
Graeter’s! 🍦🍧
your version of the nutcracker looks so interesting and different to the one I see by Queensland Ballet (Australia) each year
Yes! I love how unique our version is 😊
omg i had a performance (showcase thing because it's a school) and my headpiece is big and heavy with a really quick change so i didn't have time to pin the headpiece onto my head and it almost fell off onstage but i saved it (sort of) by kinda altering parts of the dance and literally adjusting it onstage as fast as possible
“It only takes one time to be traumatized” 😂
Love it! Any baking videos coming up?
There definitely are!
so sad I didnt get to see the Nutcracker with my mom after having bought the tickets- hopefully 2022 will be our year :)
I hope so too!
@@MadeByMily fingers crossed for more health this year 🥺
Привет! Ты прекрасная балерина! Вижу тебя только в главной роли! И не только в " Щелкунчик"!!!
Ngl Arabian is pretty cool
Very good video
Thanks!
Hi. We have Friends membership of the Royal Ballet in London. But you’re video was so lovely and interesting.
This is my first time seeing you, so can you just say what company you’re with and where these performances of the Nutcracker were held.
Best wishes from England. 🙋♂️🇬🇧🩰🎼
She's with ABT in New York 😊
Did Craig Silverstein teach your class? IT sounds like him! He teaches at my studio
Is this at Seegerstrom??
courtney is hilarious
Yes she is!
Also is that Jmt?
Do you have to pay for your pointe shoes, or does your company help out with the cost?
The company
What company do you dance for? It looks so beautiful (:
it looks like American ballet theatre
Do you know where the blue Leo is from at the start ? Xx
It’s from Ballerina Couture by Tina Pereira
I would love to know some stretches you do to maintain flexibility?
where are your leg warmers from that you wore in class? :)
They look like they could be RubiaWear or Mia Dancewear legwarmers? Hope this helps :)
Yup! They’re RubiaWear 😊
What is the song in the beginning? It's so awesome and calm ❤🥺
It's called "Weather Any Storm" by Cody Francis
@@MadeByMily Thank you 🥰🥰
Does Misty even still dance with ABT?
She’s still part of the company yes 😊
I love your leotard! :) where did you get that?
Can you specify which one? I wear a couple throughout the video haha 😊
@@MadeByMily oh I’m sorry! Leotards that you wore at 1:40 and 3:35
The blue one at 1:40 is from ‘ballerina couture’ and the white one at 3:35 is from ‘eleve’ 😊
Thank you so much 😘
5:22 ㅋㅋㅋㄱㅋㅋㄱㅋㅋㅋ키😂🤣🤣
I'm performing my first-ever nutcracker in 2 days... i really hope i don't mess up
How it went??
@@ARMYTAN315 so good
Interessante.
Performing nutcracker in a world renowned ballet company.
How would someone present an idea for an original ballet, music and story line to a ballet company to produce and perform?
what i would give for this :,,)
you look like hunter shaffer omg
It's so important to see the whole face
Abt body. Best.
How are you able to dance with face masks on? Doesn't it get hard to breath, hot and sweaty under the mask?
No
chicago isn't a state... what...
The other girl was the definition of a pick me girl lmao
Warm up and stretching does not help prevent injuries!
Yes it does😂😂😂
@@Bibblesupremacy1992 How?
@@Rog5446 If you have a ball of clay straight out of the package, it is cold, hard, difficult to work with. After you warm it up, it's pliable, moldable and easy to manipulate. Our bodies work the same way. If you don't warm up and stretch, your cold, likely stiff body is significantly more likely to sustain injuries especially when participating in elite/professional sports and other strenuous activities.
@@shannonrickard8605 If your body is cold and stiff, all that means is you don't have your optimal range of movement, and cannot produce maximum power. That's why you warm up, so you can achieve best performance. It does not help prevent injuries.
All very annoying, its not the Royal Ballet company is it.....,
Keep crying
NO MASKS IE FACE DIAPERS
The masks though... so creepy.
I wanted to be a ballerina when I was younger and got halfway there but really I just loved the clothes. I would love ballet clothes for everyday but not too flimsy. 🩰🩰💫
