  • On December 11, I've performed a small ballet choreography on stage for the very first time in my life. In this vlog, I wanna share with you why everything is possible and why you should never stop chasing your dreams!
    Special thanks to our ballet teacher Sándor Rácz, Maria and Julia!

    Thank you to all of you who posted such lovely comments! I feel so blessed and grateful! Also thank you to my new subscribers! To the few people who wonder why I didn’t show the entire performance. There’s a thing called artistic property. Also, the video hasn’t been released yet. I do not have permission to show the whole thing, but I can show some of the photos taken there. Of course I picked the best ones, I’m not really proud of my mediocre grand jeté. 😅 but I wouldn’t mind showing you that as well. Parts of the rehearsal of the choreography are in this video. The point of this video was not to show you an entire ballet gala, but to inspire all of you lovely dreamers to go after your dreams, no matter what! Whether you doubt yourself or other people doubt you and question everything you do. You just keep going! Much love, Tatyana ♥️

      Beautiful young lady!! Are the grand jetes something to learn in younger years? Mine weren't the best either. I used to give it so much thought but I dismissed after awhile. My grand jetes needed work but my arabesque - beautiful !

      Dear Tatyana, it is amazing what you have done! I have done a easy contemporary ballet coreography last year and I know how much work and discipline one needs to get little improvements! Keep going! I want to continue and be a more flexible ballerina at 50 years! If you want to share, it would be great to know how many hours per week have you been training at studio and at home.

The studio I teach at isn’t a “pre-professional” studio but I believe regardless of what ability you are, age you are, or your reason for dancing - everyone deserves the same level of training and the same care and attention from their teacher. The teacher in this video has exactly the right approach. LOVE IT!

    I just had my ultimate dream come true. I was in ballet from 6 until a teenager. I was also competing in Figure Skating. My skating coach said Pointe would stiffen up my knees for skating. So I shouldn't do both. So I gave up Pointe. Which I didn't want to do. So at 55 I finally danced in a Professional Ballet the Nutcracker in the Party Scene as the Russian Mother. It was the most magical special moments of my life. You're absolutely right!!! Keep dreaming, they do come true. I Loved Your Dancing and You. I am so proud of you for dancing your heart out, and having your dream come true. I hope to see you dance more.😊💝💝

    I started learning ballet the same age as you. I am 53 now, still doing it. I go to class 6-7 days a week. I have studied jazz and modern techniques for 12 years maybe. I've had the most amazing teachers - the biggest ballet stars in Bulgaria. Been on stage quite a lot, including at the National Opera House in Sofia. I am totally aware I can never be as good as someone who has started early and has been trained professionally. And yes - there was a lot of "negative clatter", as you put it. What I realized is that good technique is not as vitally important for an amazing performance as I had previously thought. It is your heart and soul, your art, that will be appreciated at the end of the day ❤️ Don't stop dancing!

It was never really my goal to perform but just to be able to dance and look like I knew what I was doing. I accomplished my mission.

    I really needed this today. I started figure skating almost a year ago, and since I’ve started as an adult with no strength, flexibility, or even dance experience, it’s been really hard especially since I haven’t taken proper lessons and can’t afford a coach. I’ve been teaching myself and learning as I go with videos and asking friends for advice.
    Sometimes I get discouraged, and it’s hard not to compare myself to the great skaters, but I’ve made a lot of progress this year, and I have to be kind to myself. Because against all odds, I decided to follow my dream.
    I used to live in an area where there was really only one ice rink around and it was way too expensive even for public skating. Now I’m fortunate enough to live where there are at least five within a thirty minute radius ❤️

I've always wanted to be a ballet dancer but my parents never put me into dance because I have a connective tissue disorder that makes sports difficult and even dangerous. Now that I'm able to manage it better I feel more comfortable learning dance while still keeping myself safe. I dont think I'll ever be at the level of a professional.. but that's ok with me.

    This is so beautiful! I'm a ballet a dancer and I started at age eleven, I thought I started too late because all the other girls were younger than me and were better dancers. I'm now sixteen and I'm just starting point! I now know not to compare myself to other dancers but to become better than what I was yesterday! Always follower your dreams, work hard and you'll see that they do come true! Be patient and stick it out:)

    This is so beautiful :) it means a lot to me as a 34yr old now disabled ballerina; I have wanted to dance and perform again. I wanted to be a prima when I was 15 and left prepro because I was 'too short' then have been plagued w/ health stuff anyway... this makes me have hope to just do it in another way. Thank you so much, for sharing your dance and yourself and all these other beautiful people with us. Congrats on fulfilling this dream and I hope you keep dancing!

      I hope your health is getting better and better! A statement Pina Bausch loved to use: “Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.” I don’t know if I’ll perform again, but I just love the freedom I feel whenever I dance. ♥️

    I’ve always been so fascinated of ballet and there were never any close ballet classes near me growing up so no one in my city never did ballet only the sports that they offered in school. Now I’m 23 and one of my biggest regrets is not asking my parents to take me to ballet classes. Even though the classes are far I know that my parents would have tried their best to take me. Now that I am older I still have that dream to do ballet but I always feel self conscious about it. By watching your video and other people’s videos who also started late gives me the confidence to just go for it. I know that I’ll never be as great as professional ballerinas but it’s just the idea of doing ballet that makes me happy.

    I danced from 7 to 13 , even with BTA for thier nutcracker performance for 4 years. Went back when I was 23 for a year and danced at a studio with my daughter when she was 3. Moved and my previous dance teacher actually moved to where I live now! I'm 38 and starting back up again! Age doesn't matter to me, I'm doing this for me as I need dance in my life 💖 🩰 🎶

    Love! I took up ballet when I was nearly 60. I was weak and scrawny from cancer treatment and my doctors told me to get exercise. Now I take class four times a week and it's my favorite part of my day. Even if I'm not a great dancer I can embody virtues of joy and health, and that's still a valuable thing.

    I really enjoyed this. You are much better than you know. You have a wonderful teacher, he moves with grace. I think for teachers, it doesn't matter at what level you are at, their interest is to see where each dancer is vulnerable and help them get strong, and that goes from beginner to professional. I joined a latin dance troupe when I was 40, we performed regularly, I learned so much about being on stage. Now I'm working on singing and I'm 63. So, never too late. Congratulations. I hope you continue your ballet.

    Thank you for this video! When younger I used to dance but never ballet, it was always a dream of mine for as long as I can remember but there was no opportunity in the area I lived. Found a class a couple of years ago and loved it but fell from it when moving. Got recommended this video yesterday and it gave me courage/inspiration so today I signed up for a ballet class this spring! I’m looking forward to it so much and can’t wait to stand by the barre. I applaud you for following this dream of yours, it encouraged me to follow one of mine.

    Wow, you are amazing and a treat to behold. I am so happy to hear how your pursued your dreams of ballet in your 30s and made it happen! It is truly a joy to watch you soar with joy, for that is the gift of dance regardless of one's age. Ballet is truly a wonderful, lovely gift you can give yourself, whenever in life. So many people sit there holding onto remorse over not being able to have been a dancer from a young age, but you are an example of never stop living, never stop dreaming, no matter what. You are an inspiration for everyone!

    I wasn’t allowed to take ballet when I was a child. I have always been mesmerized by ballet my whole life, starting right after I saw a dancer practicing on her own in a studio once when I was 6 or 7. So as an adult in my late 20’s I enrolled in a school; took class 5x a week and performed in many performances. It was a dream come true and I still have so many happy memories. Sadly, I now live in a place with no ballet at all. 😢
