Well most dancers are usually home schooled because of their tight schedule they can't keep up for example I have a friend she does gymnastics and ballet at the the same time ofc she competes everywhere for gymnastics so she can't keep up with school anymore because of her tight schedule but for some reason she isn't home schooled anymore before she was but now she isn't for some reason the same as her sister her sister told me that she barely/never attends her classes because of tight schedule but even if you Have or not have gymnastics only ballet like them they really need to be home schooled because their schedules are tight and they are already professionals so usually professionals stay at the studio more than but usually if you only have 2 ballet classes a week thats no problem and its fine to be not home schooled
Apparently the stage lights are so bright it washes out even hella dark people. Because my mother saw one of my performances and she said, “TBH I had no idea who you were on stage. You all looked white to me” 💀 Had me dead the whole rest of the ride. FYI most of the dancers in my area are black so that’s why she said that
@@annanowak9620 As an ex-dance student, I can attest that you can’t even see the crowd when you’re on stage beyond a few rows in the front. It’s like looking into a dark window while you’re outside on a bright day. Not sure if lighting standards have changed since I danced, but that was my experience at least.
@@Blackhorselove1 I was never a dancer, but I was in theatre and I remember it exactly the same. The stage lights were so bright I could only see about 3 rows lol. It made it so much easier to perform.
I instantly wanted to give Megan a hug because her problem seemed the most serious beyond the girl with constant injuries. Can you imagine being the person that is known for being constantly yelled at? That poor girl. She must feel so helpless at times. Like getting up everyday with the head space of, "I wonder what they're going to find wrong about me today?"
4 me no cuz I use those dancer dot thingies that I “borrow” from my friend but one of my classmates brings so many bandaids to class and uses way too much lol
No, Melanieeee, noooo!!!! As an ex soviet ballerina who accidentally became a MUA after her retirement, let me tell you: There' s no such a thing as being *too pale for stage lights* , dorogaya. You just need to intensify browz, eyez, lashes, contour, blush and lips like no tomorrow. And voilà, the queen of the lake✨✨✨✨ 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Im a lighting guy and skin tones make it hard to program lights. Black people need a lot more light and really pale people look paper white in stage lights.
Heres a tip for Megan: If you ever are getting yelled at and don't want to cry remember this. According to anatomy, a human's butthole extracts and infracts while yelling. The louder they yell, the more the hole goes, Open Shut Open Shut. So just remember the butthole and you'll instantly start laughing or forget about what they are saying.
I can relate to Megan. As a child, I was the one among few students who used to get yelled at. Almost every day. I hated going to school. No matter how much I tried to be careful, I either made mistakes, lose my stuffs, say wrong answers out loud. I used to be really scared to go to school. 🙁😿
I feel for Alexia, being injured often, for long periods when you're committed to and passionate about and love dance is terrible. Also, getting back into good dancing shape after months off for an injury just sucks.
same, I've recently graduated from pt for chronic knee pain and I do karate and I always felt humiliated by my family and my peers when I sit out, especially since not everyone understands or knows what happening. being injured for long periods of time doesn't just affect your body, it affect the way you think about yourself.
@@alexiswhitfield1796 It is especially awkward for things like dance because you have to still go and learn the choreography and stuff, but you're not able to actually practice, so you're kind of there as the odd one out, and also the only one in street clothing which also makes you stand out.
@@rachelmarie2228 yeah, I think dance often takes more discipline and grace than karate, and while I could often avoid my injury, I'm sure it would be more obvious and humiliating for a sport like dance when your performance is extremely important
God yeah. I did something to the ball of my foot one time, dunno what, and I ended up off classes for a couple of weeks. I ended up sitting on a chair in the corner for those classes so I didn't miss anything but the studio's kinda small so it was annoying for everyone to have to maneuver around me and I was kinda embarrassed about it all. And starting Actually Dancing again after I was healed up was a nightmare
“LilaRose” made me laugh so hard bc in Swedish “Lilla” is like small (liten) but “lilla” is like a synonym to short or small, so I burst out laughing direct 😭
Hope you know deep down that you are all beautiful and perfect as you are ❤ Learn your discipline and then break all the rules… make the stage lighting change for you, make the dance you want to dance and make us as an audience get WOW face 😮 we are all here cheering you on. Don’t limit yourself to other people’s ideas of what ‘should’ be. You are not a box of cookies. You are beautiful individuals who are equally perfect imperfect creations ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My feet were flat most of my life until my podiatrist corrected them, but that was the reason several ballet teachers refused to teach me, because my feet were flat 😢 they claimed I wouldn’t have the strength and stamina in my feet and I showed them that that wasn’t the case with me but whatever, I did hip hop or Bgirl back in the day 😊
@@rrayllum haha I feel ya, I'm white as paper sheet. With time I started liking in. I found colors that doesn't make me look sick/ill and paint my eyebrows and lashes with henna, it was a game changer. I wish you all the best
i used to be a dancer and my issue was severe chronic pain that makes walking difficult so i had to quit for the second time in just a few years. it was awful
What stands out for me, is how clean the floor is!! BRAVO!!! Maintenance department!!!Take a bow. You could cut a pizza 🍕 pie on it and enjoy! Just curious...Where's the water fountain?? 💧.
Big Ups to these kids! Ballet dancing and training are not all Swan Songs and sweet twirlings. Always reminds me of that photo of a ballet dancer's feet - one with shoe on & one without. The un-shoed foot symbolizes the dancer's pain, hard-work, and sacrifice.
Do you have the strongest shank in your shoe style? When were you last properly fitted for pointe shoes? Girl, you can find a longer-lasting shoe. I wish you the best!
this is also a problem if you're not squeezing your glutes enough to lift your weight. I had this problem before because my main strength was in my feet and not up the leg enough. Teacher showed me how to lift my weight with my thighs and butt.
As someone who went to a dance conservatoire, most kids went to an evening school while having ballet in the morning. I for example, was a bit older and went to uni while I was dancing at the same time, so I was that girl studying in between classes
I feel a lot of empathy for Megan. It sucks, girlie, and I hope that you're ok and that those yells don't get to you. You're doing great. Keep going, because you're talented as hell. You're enough.
In my ballet studio we can wear anything we like and the teachers are sooo good that a teacher told me once to make my turnout little because I donnot get hurt ❤❤ when your teacher is amazing you love your career as a ballerina
Band-Aids can really take a lot out of your budget when you need a lot of them. Way back when (I am ancient and decrepit, but still have a pretty good memory- even if it's been 30 years since I was worried about blisters and pointe shoes), I only used actual band-aids when I already had a blister. If the skin was still ok, just the threat of an impending blister- I would instead, wrap my toe with masking tape. It's really important to make sure it's masking tape (kind of like paper tape, but sturdier), rather than scotch tape or duct tape (although, in a pinch- I have been known to use scotch tape with a tiny pad or kleenex over the blister/wound) because it breathes a lot better and there is less chance of it contributing to any kind of fungal growth. Also, the excess sweat would make your pointe shoe box break down a lot faster. If I knew I had a long day ahead of me- technique class, point class, variations, partnering, rehearsals, etc. (basically anything but modern- because I obviously didn't have to worry about pointe shoe friction for modern dance class :) ), I would go ahead and individually wrap each toe with masking tape. When I started doing this, it actually cut down my blisters by at least 50%. This made my toes and bank account both a lot happier.
I absolutely relate to being too pale for the stage lights. I do plays and musicals, and my makeup always looks extra ridiculous up close because it has to be so much darker then i am. 😅
I can relate to: Has a too light skin tone for stage light…. 🥲It’s an insecurity I have, but I get really tan if I fly to a warmer country during a vacation. My home country is Germany 🇩🇪, which is not warm and not at all sunny in the northern region. I neither have the time, nor the money to fly somewhere or travel by train to another country. I’m a broke med student….who dances ballet for 18 years now.(And I’m not going to stop.) I love all the videos here on this channel. The videos make my day and I can relate to them. 😂💖
Ella, I feel your pain. A couple of the other girls, too. I felt called out 😂 Injuried for over a year. Natural turnout but I was rarely fully turned out. Babd ids! Band aids!! ❤ I think I would still do it all again. That fire for dance and more specifically ballet has not been extinguished even all these decades later.
“goes to real school” is a mood 💀
What does it mean? Do the other younger dances also not go to school?
@@made-line7627I need an answer too, what other kikd of school do they go to ?

Band-Aids can really take a lot out of your budget when you need a lot of them. Way back when (I am ancient and decrepit, but still have a pretty good memory- even if it's been 30 years since I was worried about blisters and pointe shoes), I only used actual band-aids when I already had a blister. If the skin was still ok, just the threat of an impending blister- I would instead, wrap my toe with masking tape. It's really important to make sure it's masking tape (kind of like paper tape, but sturdier), rather than scotch tape or duct tape (although, in a pinch- I have been known to use scotch tape with a tiny pad or kleenex over the blister/wound) because it breathes a lot better and there is less chance of it contributing to any kind of fungal growth. Also, the excess sweat would make your pointe shoe box break down a lot faster.
If I knew I had a long day ahead of me- technique class, point class, variations, partnering, rehearsals, etc. (basically anything but modern- because I obviously didn't have to worry about pointe shoe friction for modern dance class :) ), I would go ahead and individually wrap each toe with masking tape.
