I am going to tell you ladies a secret. I took dance lessons age 12 until college around 18/19. I am over 50 now. I was never particularly talented, flexible or the right body type. To this day I can naturally touch my toes and do the splits in one direction. I don’t stretch or formally exercise, it’s just there from back in the day. I did ballroom around 30, did a split without stretching and scared my dance teacher. What surprises me is 50+ it’s still there. Dance is forever!
More to the point that execive practice and all the training in the world doesnt make the dancer. I won countless medals and trophies and only ever attended my classes. I never practiced at home or went to the gym to make muscle on the side. You can be a dancer without the frills and pocket draining overhead....
Look. Ballet is pretty and stuff. But take of those point shoes to do it and add wool, velvet, and 40 degree summers. Welcome to Highland Dancing. The actual athletic dance...
Ermm , No thanks I’ll keep my pointe shoes on and I’ll Dance Ballet until I die 🩰😊 Are you referring to like’Lord of the Dance’ type dancing (Irish)or Scottish Clog dancing??Whichever I’m sure you’re very good 🤔but don’t underestimate the strength etc needed for Ballet until you’ve tried it ❤

Ikr?
You just realized😑

46. Same. I went to buy pointe shoes because I lost my old ones and I went right up on them like a boss. Surprised the sales associate😂
Damn. You've got some special genes, man. I'm 24, and my back and legs are about as flexible as a 2-by-4 (even when I still did ballet).
I literally have NOTHING to do with ballet, but I love to watch these videos. Such great people.
