      @@justinseagull3117 well think about it like this instead of how much they have of something think about how great the teacher is .i kind of know what it's like my dance studio only has 1 room for dancing but my teacher is amazing and i think people get scholarships ever year ,but it would be nice to do a dance like that one day...........also what kind of dance do you do if it's not ballet? just wondering

    I once played in swan lake in there as a child; I was part of chance to dance. But I left London due to domestic abuse and couldn't carry on dancing ballet because my family doesn't have enough money to afford ballet classes anywhere. I miss ballet a lot. The excitement, the whole production, live piano to match all of your dancing. It's quite magical. A spectacular gleaming reality. So if you do get offered the chance: don't take it for granted. I miss my time there and the extra ballet classes I took. Thank you, Royal Opera House. I'll never forget.

    Ive been dancing since I was 2, I went on pointe just before my 7th birthday and did my first performance a year later, I've danced for 12 years now, I've been Clara 5 times and for this years 2018 nutcracker performance I've been signed for auditions as Clara again some tips for new en pointe dancers and a few days before you dance the performance is I like to just lay down on my back, feet and legs against the wall, put my earphones in and listen to the music of the dance and run through the steps, also a good nights sleep will definitely help and the obvious one, LOTS of practice hope this helps!

    I am so sad by the fact that I probably will never be a part of the Nutcracker or any ballet for that matter. I’ve danced passionetly since age 3/4. I practiced so hard many times a week, and then at age 13 I had a mental breakdown and had to quit. I’m now 15, and I still cannot do a simple thing as attend school. I never had a plan B, my dream was always to dance (specifically Sugar plum fairy) and now my dream is most likely ruined. I wanted this so so badly and i fought so hard for it, I just wish I could dance on stage with all of my heart.

      I’ve had mental breakdowns since then. I’m not sure and there’s no way I can compare my emotional state to yours, but I would just like to say that you should never give up... And if your dream is to dance as the Sugarplum Fairy then I believe if you really work hard you can do anything! I hope you don’t find this too cheesy, I really mean it all.

      @oufc29 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      you are never to late to start ballet might not be able to become profesional, i started ballet in 2005 at age 25 years old and i have already done 6 ballet performances and have already had to play 4 female ballet roles so instead of wearing dancebelt support cup thong leotard footed tights ballet socks and ballet shoes i had to wear female underwear pink footed tights a pancake tutu and bodice attached to the tutu and pink pointe shoes so its never too late

    • @inorseilen4096
      @inorseilen4096 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is late because you will not be able to catch up with the other dancers. You will struggle and it will be a lot of new things for you. Most girls by that age, already have their pointe shoes but you won't. You'll need a lot of practise which might leave you in pain. Take this advice from a ballerina aged 13 who has been dancing since the age of three.

    • @lexyshannon9428
      @lexyshannon9428 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Probably because professional dancers have to have a pretty strict diet depending on the season. They have to eat a certain amount of calories the closer the performance is, and the food has to be healthy to make sure they're at a certain weight and in the best shape they can be for dancing. At least that's what I've seen from videos about the daily lives of professional adult ballerinas.

    • @sophia-uw2zf
      @sophia-uw2zf 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      they probably eat small meals through the day because they’re busy all the time. i eat before i go to dancer and then stay there from like 10-2 and i only have like an orange there and then eat a snack and then dinner. it’s easier that way and i’m not that hungry during that time either

    • @lupin0745

      in my experience, you cannot eat a lot because you have to squeeze your body so much. they cannot risk vomiting. especially on stage.

    • @cameronzemail
      @cameronzemail 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, but eating a ton of food before a hard core rehearsal is never a good idea, because you can get nauseated or even throw up. I normally eat a lot after my shows/rehearsals and some light snacks during. Seaweed, granola bar, some chips maybe, fruit, ect. Nobody wants to risk throwing up.

    • @rebeccas9715

      @@lexyshannon9428 Ok so no offense but... YOU ARE COMPLETELY INCORRECT. dancers eat a lot and when they are not on the job as much as they want. I mean went you are doing ballet for 8-9 hours a day it kinda hard to gain much weight from eating. Also because they work such long hours they need there fuel. Ballet burn MANY carbs. Have a nice day :)
