ahhh i'm so happy to see you thriving!!! as someone older who's doing her undergrad degree, i can relate to this a lot. tbh i never tell my classmates how old i am cause i'm too embarrassed to say it (and ageism is real on my side of the world) but i can tell the confused expressions on people's faces upon realizing that i've lived another life when they look at my social media. as a result, i've become a rather closed off and shy person. seeing a non-traditional student like you in online spaces means a lot to me and i'm so thankful for the representation. all the best to you and your academic and non-academic pursuits!
thank you so much for sharing!! and yes, being a non-trad student can get quite lonely but it's definitely reassuring to know we're not alone. i'm cheering for you and wish you all the best for your pursuits! 💗
I’m sorry they made you feel that way. When I went to college I met people way older people going for the first time. And I was like wow that’s awesome like it’s never too late. But I will say maybe I was too young because I ended up picking something practical instead of something I loved. And now I’m thinking of going back to see what I like 💙
woow I didn't know that you were a PROFESSIONAL ballerina. I remember your vlog from Paris, where you were searching for pointe shoes! However, you seem to be very excited about your new film classes! I am wishing you all the best :D
this has touched me so deeply thank you so much for sharing this. i’ve also been a dancer since forever and done ballet internationally for around 4 years (i did yagp too but the competitions in europe as i’m from the uk) but have only stopped within the last 6 months. after that being my life for so long it’s been so overwhelming, like am i going to regret stopping? i could rebuild myself back up again and train and be better? but i was so exhausted? i know you know it’s so so hard. thinking about all the amazing memories and experiences is another level of sad when you realise you’re leaving that love behind. the thing that’s so crazy is as all of this has been going on in my life, this video popped up and as i was watching it i realised that i learned one of my main variations from your ballet youtube, it was cavalry hault 😭 LIKE I WATCHED THAT LAST YEAR, AND NOW HERE YOU ARE. this has comforted me so much and helped me feel less alone and is the craziest full circle moment ever
i've been following you on social media and watching your channel since i was a teen (i'm 22 now), and your content has always been so refreshing and enjoyable, so it was awesome hearing your story. it's great to hear that you're doing a lot better these days and feeling much happier
I appreciate your vulnerability. Thank you for speaking about your experience with something that for so long you thought would be the rest of your life. I loved seeing the clips of your dances, it was beautiful❤
I’m so happy for you. I quit my masters program this year and I might go back to school for something else or do something else. I went for something so practical the first time and I feel like I just wanna try so many things and make mistakes and see where it goes. I’m 29 and still figuring it out and it’s not easy to commit to one career or job. But thank you so much for sharing! Can’t wait to see more content 💖
ahhh i didnt know this about you alex!! thank you for sharing this part of your life 💗 i came across your content during a time i really needed to prioritize my mental health so, imo i think you accomplished what you had set out to do!! xx bre
ahh i’ve been watching you since twirling pages and it’s been so awesome to see your progression. thank you for sharing your story with us!!! love that you’re following your dreams and doing something that makes you happy
So happy to hear your story!! I am applying for early decision at Columbia this month and hope to study film + still engage in ballet on the side so your story is very inspiring to hear!!
I had my best ballet experience in life during the summer of 2020. I can still recall the details of the lessons although it has been more than three years. I always tell ppl that Alexandra and her dad are the best ballet teachers that I have encounter in life! If they want me to recommend any ballet teachers, my answer is definitely u guys! Thanks for sharing and being an inspirational person!
i quit professional classical music for law, and then quit that all together... but still cant shake the feeling of not being the best as i promised my parents when i was 6 years old...
just because something could be “out of touch” to you it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “out of touch” with other peoples lifestyle. even if u don’t mean malice it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not hurtful to be on the receiving end of such comments, being told that the content that you genuinely produced, based off your own life experiences and challenges are “privileged” and “out of touch”. I do agree that to have such opportunities is a privilege but i just think it’s kind of sad that after watching this video all you have to talk about is how privileged they are. to you it might be a joke but I think it’s worth considering that for the receiving party it might come across as demeaning and undermining the challenges theyve experienced.

Just out of interest where did you train? I relate to you so much
是的，当爱好变成工作会毁掉对它的兴趣
most privileged sounding title ever 😭 sorry this just popped in my recommended n I thought the title was so out of touch and funny, no hate
just because something could be “out of touch” to you it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “out of touch” with other peoples lifestyle. even if u don’t mean malice it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not hurtful to be on the receiving end of such comments, being told that the content that you genuinely produced, based off your own life experiences and challenges are “privileged” and “out of touch”.

@@clara3681 Im not reading any of that yap yap lol. u need to stop being chronically online with ur freak behavior of subscribing to my channel
@@girlsaturn8621 that was actually an accident, i unsubscribed right after 💀💀💀
That’s bc you’re not the target audience. There’s nothing wrong with the title.
Sou happy for you anda you future live. 🙏🏻🍃🫶🏻🩷
