Everyone's saying "I'm wanting to start ballet but I think I'm too old." Age doesn't matter. Go for it. :) ballet is amazing
True, my dad started when he was like 20 I think. But it helps a lot if you start young
the you
thank you I'm just 11
11 isn't too late! if you want to dance just work hard and you can do it!
I started dancing at 8 but then I had to move to a place with no dance studios at 13, but now I'm moving back and I can't wait to start dancing again!
Why am I watching this? I have a test tomorrow? I don't even do ballet, I can't dance for shit?!

Sameee I feel like this was quarantine thingsss
this is Dance Academy.. but in real life and in Miami.
Yess 😄
Dance academy!! Omg I love that show! I finished all the seasons in a week!
+Ella Wilson Or rather, a legit pre-professional version of _Breaking Pointe_. I hated that show.
+thesleepingsoter me too xD that's why I said dance academy instead 😂
i was thinking the same thing haha
Welcome to another episode of: "Random stuff that's recommended to me during quarantine"
Edit: I just realised I'm like, 5 years late :/
omg same
You're not alone mdude!
Same!
I started getting a lot of ballet recommendations and I have no idea why. It’s kinda creepy, it’s like my phone heard me talking about it with my Physio a few weeks ago. (We’re modifying my exercises to be more like the ones I did back when I did ballet many years ago, which helps a lot with familiarity and motivation. I also then understand exactly which muscles it’s supposed to target, because they’re all exercises I’ve done before. Highly recommend asking your Physio if you can slightly adjust an exercise to be something that makes sense to you, you’ll get a lot more out of it).
@@katherinemorelle7115 thats really scary tho...
Guys, if you're curious - she did it! She's been in *A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Bourrée Fantasque, George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker, La Source, Raymonda Variations, Swan Lake, Symphony in Three Movements, and In The Upper Room* so far.
Edit - and so did her friend
I’m 15 and am a “beginner” dancer in my school dance program. My instructor has been teaching for 11 years and in college had Jazz, Ballet, and modern dance lessons. She recommended for me to register into a ballet studio because she said I shouldn’t limit my potential. I became very passionate about dancing and now I feel like if I continue working hard and smart I’ll be a great dancer
You can do it !
*flashbacks of 7 year old me attending dance class and not ever being able to do a split*
edit: thanks for all the likes omg
Keira Liu flashbacks of my sister stretching me to the point of tears which inevitably got me my splits.
Same to both of yall, lol! I thought I was the only one!
Omg same!
I quit ballet though
And now I practice kathak 😊
@@tanvikhare9710 wuts khatak? 😑😐😐😑😐
I can do a split!
As of July 2020:
Mayumi Enokibara: corps, Miami City Ballet
Ella Titus: corps, Miami City Ballet
Valeriia Chaykina: corps, Joffrey Ballet
Margarita Armas: studying at Pacific Northwest Ballet School
Unfortunately I can’t find any information about Carlos and Gustavo :(
I miss dancing, I did it for 8 years and then i quit because of how stressful it became.
Don’t give up on doing something you love no matter how hard it gets because you will regret it.
You may come back, if you loved it, you should.
Yes that's true
I miss dancing too ...
I did dancing for 11 years and then I quit
Awe I adore Mayumi! Such a sweet talented girl! I realllyyy wish her the best!
Tiffany P Yes!! She is sooo cute!!!
Is she wearing invisalign teen?
MissArBell LOVE MAYUNI
I love ballet ❤️
You could do something like this for classical musicians
K K lol we drink to much 😂
Catherine Durbin yeah for shure 🍺
Yes! They really should.
Yes they should I feel that classical musician are a little underrated
Katarina Kralj yes!!
shes so pretty
hey kpopper
Dont ask. Do it.
Literally only subscribed to this channel for this series aha
Same!
Me too
Beatriz Mota

How did I get here? One minute I jamming out to Exo and the next minute I'm watching this. Love ballet though😊😊
Sammmeeeeee
Let's just blame Kai haha
same omg
HAHAHA Same XD
Literally me.
Just wishing I started ballet when I was like 3 to scared to start now!
Go for it! Misty Copeland started when she was 13 and she is one of the best in the world :D
You can
You're never to young go for it!!
PurpleGuitars Start now! I started at 8 as a hobby and now It's just a more serious hobby for me!
I started at 2! But don't worry, its never too late to start, you just need to work hard.
Im a dancer! Like and comment if you're also a dancer! 😽💜
Yas
Meeeeeeeeee
Yeesss
I am!!!
Dancer but many says I am not to belong to be a dancer
If you're reading this, no matter if you are a dancer or not, i hope your dreams will come true♡
Thank youu ..I hope you achieve your dreams too🥰🥰
I could tell even by the first couple clips of Mayumi dancing that she was a star, she really stands out from everyone else!
a lot of comments saying 'I wanna do ballet, but' if you do not have any physical limitations such as obesity or handicaps, YOU CAN DO BALLET!
Not Even obesity should stop you! After all that could be the thing, that will bring you away from obesity (I mean...if you are aware that you'll NEVER be a professional. Just for fun!)
TheHannaKristin true, but I mean the severe obesity that puts too much pressure on ankles, making your ankles too weak.
Bente Eeltink Yes I realise that :) Put the important strenght in you ankles, is the most important when you go on point...so if you already start late in age...you can do like a couple of years of BAllet, lose weight and than go on point :)
I just wanted to point out, that depending on what your goal is...your physical appearance is noc limit :)
TheHannaKristin Disagree. I started late and my ankles have gotten very strong, because of the hard excercises. Obesity is a disease, not physical appearance. It is just not possible to weigh 400 pounds and do ballet. Obviously you can do it if you're fatter than most people, but that is not obesity!
Bente Eeltink Of course Obesity can be taken care of! and of course it's hard!
But I just think, that if you don't have goals (like being on pointe etc.) you ould do it...But i guess that's just my point of view :)
I wish I didn't stop ballet 😕 I started at 2 and wanted to stop at 7 but now I want to do it so badly again but I don't think I have the flexibility or strength
How old are you now?
HEY MY NAME IS EMILY ANS WE HAVE THE SAME USERNAME BAHAHA
+AyeeItsEm it's never too late! It's better to be a little tighter, as you get older, the over-flexibility can work against you. Check out my channel, I'm posting videos on stretching the safe way, and I love talking about dance. I've been dancing professionally for over 20 years, and I survived a major foot injury. 10 years off, came back stronger than ever. So again, it's never too late :)
I'm the same with gymnastics
Doga Celikay, can you watch TH-cam videos and start learning on your own? If you have a chair with a solid back to use as a barre, you can start doing plies and tendus. I realize that this does not replace a good teacher, but there are also a lot of bad teachers out there. Find your favorite ballet dancer, ask them where they studied, then see if you can find info online!
I'm so freaking nervous...my first ballet class is tomorros and I don't know anybody...hope me luck😦😀
How was it? Did you like it?
and? how was it? :)
I did like and I don't like anymore I LOVE IT!!It is hard though😞
It was REALLY good,but.....I don't like it....I LOVE IT!!It is hard though 😞
+Hanah Quintero Llamas Good to hear that. I wish you to be successful in becoming a great ballerina :D
Ballet is sooo fascinating to me and I love how passionate she is about it, mad respect
I think there should be one these for gymnastics
+Lydia Brandenburg do you know something similar to dance moms or strictly ballet ?
+Beatričė Morkūnaitė dance academy
I frickin love dance academy and dance moms
Have you finish the series dance academy?
+Esther Bjerg t hmj!kkk🌆
I love how she said she likes to show her Latin and Japanese side.
I'm brazilian and though I'm not sure how i ended up in this side of the internet I really appreciated the video lol
eu tbm
tbm
same haha
+Laura Belem BR ♥♥♥
Eu na vida kkkkk, estava procurando mais brasileiros aqui pra não me sentir sozinha.
This makes me so sad knowing I'll never be a professional dancer😭😭😭
+Emma Louise sameee :(((((
Saaaameee😭
You can be if you try and put all your effort into it
Don’t give up on pursuing your dreams
I love the shot of her doing ballet movements on the beach and she is so gorgeous! Beautiful dancer
I’m 16 with zero flexibility, and zero experience in ballet. I was so nervous to start but I finally did! And I’m so happy I did😊💕 If you wanna start ballet just do it, ur never to old
I wish my life could be like this. I want to do ballet 24/7 and get really good but I go to a low class ballet school and only go to one lesson a week... 😁😁😁😁
Same😭😭
😂
Eliza Kidder sameeee
Same
Eliza Kidder me to
6:19 anyone else appreciate the guy flying in the background?
She's so pretty! She's diligent and a dreamer.!
i love watching this, it gives me so much hope. you can see the passion and love in her eyes when you see her talking about her ballet, i really hope she gets the contract
WHAT an inspiration! This gal brings tears to my eyes! Bless her, and I hope that she dances healthily and joyfully for decades to come.
I think they could do something like this for equestrians. Young equestrians go through similar things as ballet dancers. its all dedication and getting the good positions and everything.
Yassss!!!!, most people think the horse does all the work well we'll show them 😂
That would be amazing!!
That'd be awesome!
What about figure skaters? I've always wondered about what they do. I ride horses all the time and that would be cool but its also kind of boring watching a person ride tbh
Yes!
So glad this series is back!!
I am stunned at the amount of work and effort that ballet dancers put into their dance routine.
I'm a young artist (still going to school) and i don't like dancing at all. but the intensive expression that it shows inspires me. Thats the best thing about dancing
I missed this series!! 💜
Omg she is sooooo pretty. ❤️❤️❤️
This is making me miss ballet, I've been doing ballet for 8 years but unfortunately I quit, mostly because i wasn't as passionate for it.
Because of this series I have decided to start ballet my first lesson was around a month ago and tbh I don't think I could have done everything without this series
Mayumi is so gorgeous and an absolute sweetheart 😭 ❤️
she reminds me of shay from pll
Yes
she's looks like nina dobrev 💕
How?
Mayumi is amazing to watch when she is dancing. She is so fluid and graceful when she dances
She is so driven by her passion, so beautiful and strong.
Feliz de ver uma brasileira e a devoção por Santa Ana ❤️ espero que tenha dado tudo certo na carreira dela!
Brazil!!!!!!!Mayumi vc é diva!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I dance at ABT and it is hard and frustrating but when you accomplish something all of your dedication pays off!
Caí no vídeo de paraquedas e não esperava ver uma brasileira logo de cara !!! LINDA MARAVILHOSA!!!!
I love mayumi😍❤️
I am from Brazil like she!!
And I am japonese and brazilian
+Li Setani wouldn't you know how to spell Japanese then??
+Grace Bullen no I don't no
☹️
I missed it so much finally it's here wooh yay life is rosy
I have never learned about ballet before. But recently, I really love it. When I see they'r dancing in stage. It's so amazing. Really admire them!
What a precious little girl. She will go far.
Am i the only one who think her neck is so beautiful ?
Nope! 😂
Everything about her is beautiful!
Only dancers would say this 🤣🤣💖
mayumi is gorgeous omg
Thanks so much for doing another series of these. They're fantastic!
Such an amazing series - really happy it's back!
This is amazing to see! I start ballet when I was 7 years old. Now I'm 12 years old. Sometimes I want to start earlyer with ballet but than I realise me that now it's the perfect moment for me! My little sister is almost 3years old and in a few weeks she is storting her first lessons! Now at home we dance together and I learn her Some combinations, tricks and that kind of stuff! My little Brother (10) is doing ballet too! And My other little sister is 3 months now and I think she should be doing ballet to! So we're a ballet-family at all! My mom and Dad aren't dancers or something ;-)
It's amazing for me to she how the ballet-life is going! I Really really want to do auditions for a acadamy in Rotterdam, Holland (where I live) so it's wonderful to see this people who get the same dream as me!
Okay, WoW a hole life-story about me here:)
I think you started at a perfect time! And it's great that you can dance with all of your family! I think if you want to become a professional then you should start no later than you teens so you started great! Good luck with getting to auditions! :)
+prinssescool aww thanks!
Ah I'm so jealous of you, cause I wish I started so early! I just turned sixteen and really want to start doing ballet! :)
I started ballet even later than you did but I was still able to be in some amazing shows. 7 really isnt late! keep dancing!
haha nice!I'm 14 and just starting ballet
Love this series 💜
she's so sweet and pure. Awe
I LOVE being in Miami City Ballet. Best thing that has ever happened to me!!
Mayumi is so pretty!
How does mayumi speak such perfect English??
She doesn't....but it's understandable.
Pratice
What do u mean she doesnt?
Her English is fantastic what are you on about.. She's mulitlingual are you?
@@maymay5812 it's not perfect
I love ballet more than anything. Please season 3 we are readyyy
I can't dance to save my life, but I've always loved ballet. The artistry and strength that it takes... just wow! I played ice hockey for 7 years and people always said, "oh, that must be so difficult!" But ballet seems even more so. I have major respect for ANYONE who does ballet and dedicates their lives to this beautiful art form
What truly makes ballet so difficult is that you need to be strong like an athlete but delicate as a flower. You're not supposed to look as strong as you are. It's really an oxymoron.
Just out of curiosity - how would the ballet company feel about a ballerina with a pixie cut? These girls have stunning hair! But I was just wondering since they were all wearing a ponytail, which is probably part of the movement as well, how it would 'fit' in the idea. Are such things enclosed in a contract?
I'm a dancer and I don't think many would mind, I knew a dancer who had a pixie cut and she never said anything but probaly if you want a pro career then you might have to grow your hair😶 but tbh ballet is changing so you never know😀
Charlie Noah when i was still dancing we had this rule that we needed to have long hair so we can tie it in a bun plus no bangs allowed i guess pixie cut would be more suited if you do contemporary but as for classical you would need to be able to tie your hair
Margarita Campuzano I find this really interesting ! I'm usually all about showcasing your individuality, but I can imagine uniformity is preferable for the presentation during a dance. Thanks for replying :)
michelle katherine artuz Didn't even think about bangs. The focus and dedication of the ballerina's is of the chart! It really goes from head to toe ;) Thanks for the insight. Interesting!
Charlie Noah Honestly, not sure how it should matter? For the bun argument, you could always get a fake bun!
this just reminded me to pack my ballet bag
Completely in love with this series
I have seen the Miami City Ballet preform on stage live and they are amazing. And the Mayumi (don’t know how to spell) was by far my favorite dancer there!
I'm a pre professional ballerina and it is an amazing experience
Same it's amazing
today is going to be my first ballet class and i'm excited but also rlly scared, i hope i will make friends there!
so how’s it going...
Mayumi, you're an inspiration.
Brought me to tears in the last seconds of the video. Bravo!
SOMEONE FROM BRAZIL!!! so excited now!!
Euu
I seriously can’t do a double pirouette
I just can’t, like for real
This latin/ japoneese dancer is incredible!
guys, this is one of the most watched Strictly Ballet videos. Everyone loves Mayumi!!!!❤️ 💕
AHHH she's Brazilian!!! :DDDD
I want a school for ice skating T___T
Agreed
Strictly Ballet is back! Yessss
oh my god, this girl so pretty
When the second episode Will be out !??? Just cant wait !!!
I know how hard it is. I used to like to dance ballet but there were no place where I could do that. Now I am 16 and I'm in a drama class where are stage movement and this year we had ballet. But I still don't care how hard it is, because I like it.
I just started as a teen and it's so fun. It's hard but I am always excited to go to class and I think it's also the mentality someone has that has a great affect on their dancing.
SHE IS SO GRACEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL.
Yay thank God this is back!!!! Brazil represent!!!! 👏👏👏
I'm from Brasil too ❤️🇧🇷
I used to dance but had to stop for medical reasons (severe halux valgus in both feet). After 8 years of dancing around 5 times a week,i miss it so much and I'm always in pain. So watching videos like these take me back so thanks
And of those 2% of dancers who make it professionally, they get just a little above minimum wage.
ExMachina70 but they get to do something they love for a living
All the money goes to pointe shoes, 70$ a pair and they barely last a week, something is not right about the ballet shoe industry; could they make shoes that last longer???
Νίκη Χανδρή the company provides them with pointe shoes
Νίκη Χανδρή the company pays for the shoes, and for a student they can last about three months, but scince professional ballet dancers dance so much, the shoes don’t last as long.
Νίκη Χανδρή or make them like 20 or 30 bucks maybe
When will we see episode 2?....It's been 2 weeks already :(
So many years later and still waiting for season 3!!!!
They're already so amazing
does anyone know if they post episodes on a certain day of the week or is it just whenever?
