🩰 adult ballerina *ACCIDENTALLY* models for big NYC ballet photoshoot (awkward)

- In this episode of the dance diaries, you'll go behind the scenes of a ballet photoshoot in NYC, come to an adult ballet class and see the craziness that came about when getting my first PAID job as a ballet dancer EVER.
I was NOT expecting to model for this big brand, I really just thought I was helping out a friend. As an adult ballerina learning ballet in my 30s, I was shocked when I was chosen to be part of this campaign shoot. I'm not a professional dancer (or even a very good dancer) so I felt pretty shy and awkward throughout the modeling process, but even so, it was a total dream come true!
I hope you enjoy seeing the process of how this photoshoot came together and if you like videos like this, don't forget to subscribe to my channel for weeks in the life of an adult ballerina in NYC!

🍓 HI, I'M VERONICA VICCORA
Hi there! I'm Veronica, welcome to my beginner dance journey. When I was 17, I was told by a teacher that I would never be a ballerina. I let that thought control me for YEARS but now, in my late 20s, I moved to New York City and I'm finally starting ballet late. This is a space for me to document the ups and downs of learning how to do ballet in my 20s and show anyone that it's never too late to live your dreams.

Have you discovered Ballet with Isabella yet? If you want an explanation of all ballet technique in absolute minute detail, check out her absolute beginners course. I’m going through it right now and it’s closing some major knowledge gaps that I have in my technique.
Yes! She has been my go-to ballet instruction from home on top of in studio classes.
Ohhhh that’s a HUGELY helpful tip! Thank you so so much 🥰
@@freejojorocksdo you use her paid website or follow free classes on her Chanel? If you have the paid ones, are they good? I’m interested in adding them to my weekly routine but they’re quite expensive at 50-70AUD/month
The shots you showed look absolutely magical, what an exciting opportunity!
Thank you so much! 🥰 it really was a lot of fun!
You looked so beautiful and natural in your photoshoot! They picked well, and like you said, being ignorant to how big of a project it was probably helpful in keeping you more relaxed and such for the shoot.
Haha yes exactly! Ignorance is bliss as they say, in this case, that was definitely true 😂 thank you so so much for the kind words
Your arm moments are so graceful ,just beautiful.
You're amazing! This is so cool! I'm so proud of you! 🩰
You are very beautiful. So glad you got to do this! It really shows your love of dance.
Thank you, it was a really special moment 🥰
Sounds like it turned out to be a great adventure of a day! You were a natural, and danced beautifully. I'm also a late bloomer, and have a similar story to yours, but with classical piano. Wasn't able to get the training as a kid, could play by ear, but never learnt to read notes, and was also told as a teenager that it was too late, which was silly. I started back in my thirties, and was the best decision ever, even though it's hard. If God gives us a talent, then we should go for it, even if our journey may not look like someone else's, or the path may not be linear. You're a beautiful dancer and are being true to yourself
So freaking proud of you ❤
Thank you beautiful angel 🥲
Your videos makes every day better❤thank you sooo much❤
Your comments make every day better! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing Your experience! ❤ I definitely have to become more of the “jump and net will catch you” kind od girly! so I think it is great that you don’t ask too many questions and just jump in! 🤗
Omg well done 👏🏼 so proud!!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Thank you so much! You are really a great inspiration!
Thank you so much, that means so much more than you know 🥰
Hi Veronica! I’ve loved following your journey with dance! As someone who grew up with it, and fell out of love due to circumstances, watching you has reignited my passion that has been simmering under the surface. Something that I always remember from my ballet instructors about arms that might help you is thinking about them as if a marble is rolling from your shoulders to your finger tip. It shouldn’t fall off until the very tip! Keep up the wonderful work
Ohhh what a great visual! Thank you so much, so helpful! 🥰
Girl you got it it look so fabulous❤❤
Thanks a million 🥰
What an amazing opportunity, that is a really good friend! And it looks like it went great! Im so happy for you Ive been watching your videos for a while and youre such an inspiration! We jump and the net appears 💕
Thank you so much beautiful soul! 🥰
your turnout is so good!!!
Thank you! I think it could definitely use improvement, but I appreciate that! 💕
This video can be a true inspiration for someone who started ballet late or want to start but it's too scary of "being to old". Thank for sharing your journey with all of us❤
Thank you for being here for the journey 🥰
You are a beautiful dancer. ❤
Thank you my friend 🥰
You in your spy fit 😭🫶🏾 I just kept singing, “Cause I’m an International… Super Spy. SUPER SPYYYYYY”
But no, the sound of music piano while going across the floor was so nice!!
I also struggle with carrying my arms properly and moving my feet at the same time, but practice makes perfect. I’m not very good at sequences but one day it will just be habit and natural!
All in all, sounds like the photoshoot went very well because the cup is sold out 😂👏🏾 #ballerinasareatheletestoo
Haha YESSSS! The backyardigans will never not be relevant. And thank you so much, you’re the bestttt 😊 you’re so right! One day it will feel natural!
New sub. Way to go!!!
OMG VERONICA!!! Before watching the rest of this, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I know we feel like we should qualify everything because the haters on the internet, BUT THIS IS AMAZING!!! No matter what the other factors are, this is beyond amazing ❤❤❤
You’re the BEST!!! I miss you so much and hope you’re thriving! 🥰🥰🥰
No you looked beautiful period.
Ugh, you’re the best, thank you 🥲
Did I hear a snippet of the theme from Howl's Moving Castle during that shoot? I love studio ghibili/Joe Hisaishi music used for ballet 🥰
YES! You absolutely did, one of my favorites💕
You are amezing and you kind if inspire me.I mean a couple months ago I saw your video where you talked about your journey of getting back to ballet in your 30.And to be honest i kind of felt the same way you did(not feeling complete without dance),but i thought like even if i start now i wont be able to go on pointe and i wont be able to go to a real ballet school(btw I'm 14) but your video was one of the many things that motiveted me to go back to ballet.So i tried and trained for 3 months but i quit becouse the people who trained there didn't like me.But now a month went by and i miss ballet.So i tried many schools but i can't find the right one.But i want to hear your honest opinion on my situation.Can I ever step on pointe?Perform and things like that(just so you now my tehnique is bad and I'm not fat but I'm not skinny and I don't really have the best body for this sport).I really hope you would respond to me becouse i really want to hear opinion of someone who is dedicated to this like you are.
gym eternal youth!
Is it so hard for you to respond to me because you literally responded to everybody else like I can't believe i taught you would respond to me and be nice
I'm sorry and not trying to be rude or mean but there is no way based on your technique that you should have been approved for pointe shoes. You have a high chance of injuring yourself due to your weak feet, ankles and overall technique. Please be careful!!
well the dance teacher approved for her to get pointe so she must have been ready to get into them im sure she knows what shes doing
@@Onlinedollie I was a dancer for 20 years and all I'm saying this based off how many injuries I've seen and her technique level she needs to be careful
I am being careful, thank you for your concern
Looks strong and beautiful to me!
@@Onlinedollie sorry but as someone who’s in college for dance and took a ballet pedagogy course. Not every dance teacher takes into consideration the proper way to put someone on point. When you are on pointe the ankle is actually in the most vulnerable position and therefore needs strengthening. Many teachers put the students on point simply because they are over twelve. So yeah just cause the teacher approved doesn’t mean it’s always ok. We point this out because that’s the sign of an unknowledgeable or even bad teacher.
