Ms. Alekzander is simply amazing! We are so lucky/blessed/privileged to have her here in Houston. My family has had the opportunity to meet her and my 9-year old daughter can spot her on stage in a matter of seconds. She is simply beaming every time she dances and is so graceful and a joy to watch. She is just as she is in this video - just incredible!
oh my goodness, i have never heard anyone say exactly what i think of dance, how i feel when im onstage. my mother used to tell me before i went onstage, "have fun making magic". and thats exactly what it is to me.Aria has inspired me to keep following my dreams as a dancer and never give up.thanks anaheim ballet!
She is by far my favorite ballerina and it absolutely kills me that she decided to not renew her contract with the Houston Ballet. I loved watching her in all of her performances. She is an absolute beauty and a sweetheart. I hope whichever company hires her, treasures her as well. Love you Aria!!
It's very interesting when you're watching a video from a person who is living your dream, with the mentality of "Wow I wish I was her..." and realizing that you are actually able to see yourself in that video. I had surgery a few weeks ago, so I've been out of dance for a while, and I've been a little anxious about getting back up there, but Aria has inspired me and now I'm more than ready to get back! Thank you, and I hope to see you on stage some day. Standing next to me ;-)
I agree with all of the comments below! she is a great dancer and the part where she said that ballet is magical was awesome I couldnt agree more. Ballet is truly something out of this world, the grace of the ballerinas in synch with the music its just ... I dont even have word to describe it. and congrats to the camera man! (vocabulary? sorry im from mexico) he took some AMAZING shots that took this video to a whole other level !! really beautiful keep up the good work guys :D
oh my gosh, i love when she says 'do i sound crazy?' because all my friends say i sound insane when i talk about ballet like that..she's so beautiful! yay! new inspiration!
Yes, Aria. I understand completely. I'm not a dancer, but I play French Horn and I someday hope to make a living playing and teaching. I feel more like myself when I'm playing music. It makes me feel like I'm a part of something bigger than myself. Thank you for being so inspirational!
wow she is amazing. watching ballet videos makes me miss it and regret leaving it even more than i did before. i hope to go back to it and take some classes in college, but it's been years since i danced.
I haven't danced in 2 months and my summer intensive starts in less than 2 weeks- this video made my NEED for dancing skyrocket through the ROOF. I love Aria, she's beautiful :) AND that whole thing she said at the beginning is going on my Facebook status, because that's how I feel about dance :D
i really like the style of this video and she is not only an amazing dancer but the way she speaks is..... powerful? i dont know this was just great. definitely one of my fav vids.
i love how she was talking about the "magic" of ballet. it's so true! i always wish i could have been a lovely little ballerina my own self, because i think it's just so beautiful and perfect.
I love that the Anaheim Ballet dancers are so sweet i wish i would've done ballet as a kids or gymnastics they are wonderful but i sure will get my future kids into it
do i sound crazy when i say you can hear the passion for dance in her voice and see them in her movements and smile? i almost cried when i watched this
Things like this always make me wish I'd started ballet at a younger age. I started almost 3 years ago, when I was 13. I love ballet, and I work so hard at it, but when I face disappointments about not getting good roles because I look to old for the parts I could dance, it make me wish so fiercely I'd started earlier. I remember watching my town's production of the Nutcracker when I was younger, and wishing I could be up on stage. I love ballet, and I only wish I'd started earlier.
this is the best thing i ever seen in my life!! she's supporting me to enter a ballet club i really want to enter a ballet classes but my mom keeps saying NO NO i really didn't understand the point of saying no I'm 15 years old my bones is still flexible she most use this chance ill grow up&I'm not going to do anything!!my bones will stop growing;'(MY ONLYY DREAM IS TO ENTER A BALLET CLUB!!! when i get marred in the future ill put all my kids in the ballet club! this is my hope-Feeling bad
it really looks like the Houston Ballet has done something great with her. She was so amazing before she went, and now she's even more amazing. and the whole little thing about magic was so inspiring and so true. and the contemporary ballet looks like it fits her style perfectly.
she's such a great dancer. i did ballet two years ago and i felt inlove with it. i had to stop because i immigrated here in the US and i cant afford to enroll in a ballet school. it sucks but hopefully i can dance again. :)
i had to quit ballett because of school, i had my exams this year. and every time i watch your vids i just want to jump of my chair and dance. love it^^
She is looks even more radiant than I can remember from previous videos. Is it possible? I almost envy what she can experience and feel and learn, I would love a feel of it, too! And the new video is just beautiful!
she's my idol!!! i love love LOVE ballet, (i own cowboy boots too :P tehe) and i want to be like her. she's graceful and elegant and gorgeous!! and i want to dance at anaheim ballet someday!!! I LOVE U ARIA!!! she's my favorite.. ballet is magical :) thumbs up if u absolutely love her and her comtemporary ballet!!!
What do these ppl do to teach their dancers to do such AMAZING completely perfect pirouttes? How do they do it? Yeah, you know it. Ballet is magic. I love it, and I miss it so much.
her talent and passion are nothing short of absolute inspiration....

Absolutely beautiful and stunning

Aria Alekzander is the reason why I subscribed to Anaheim Ballet
She is by far my favorite ballerina and it absolutely kills me that she decided to not renew her contract with the Houston Ballet. I loved watching her in all of her performances. She is an absolute beauty and a sweetheart. I hope whichever company hires her, treasures her as well. Love you Aria!!
What she is saying is amazing. Her description of ballet is perfect, beautiful and touching.
She is AMAZING!!! Please post more videos like this! ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

i think this is the most inspiring, beautiful, and honest ballet video that Anaheim Ballet has made yet.
Love this video! So true about reality tv and how we can get back to beauty through ballet and dance in general.
I agree with all of the comments below! she is a great dancer and the part where she said that ballet is magical was awesome I couldnt agree more. Ballet is truly something out of this world, the grace of the ballerinas in synch with the music its just ... I dont even have word to describe it.

keep up the good work guys :D
she is SO gorgeous, and her dancing is spectacular
Im in love. Shes so HAPPY, not bitter or jaded and reserved like other dancers with too much of their talent going to their heads.
She's so delightful. Thank you for showing this interview.
One word came to mind while watching this... Perfection!
oh my gosh, i love when she says 'do i sound crazy?' because all my friends say i sound insane when i talk about ballet like that..she's so beautiful! yay! new inspiration!
Yes, Aria. I understand completely. I'm not a dancer, but I play French Horn and I someday hope to make a living playing and teaching. I feel more like myself when I'm playing music. It makes me feel like I'm a part of something bigger than myself. Thank you for being so inspirational!
She is so pretty! And she is such a beautiful dancer. She has so much passion for what she does which makes her dancing even more amazing :)
wow she is amazing. watching ballet videos makes me miss it and regret leaving it even more than i did before. i hope to go back to it and take some classes in college, but it's been years since i danced.

Love her personality as well as her dancing-'it's like,'rrraugh!'"

Like a freaking work of art.
I haven't danced in 2 months and my summer intensive starts in less than 2 weeks- this video made my NEED for dancing skyrocket through the ROOF.
I love Aria, she's beautiful :)
AND that whole thing she said at the beginning is going on my Facebook status, because that's how I feel about dance :D
That was AMAZING! She is such a great speaker! I loved that so much!
Watch her in 'Music Box Dancer'. Wow!!! Brought me here . . .
i really like the style of this video and she is not only an amazing dancer but the way she speaks is..... powerful? i dont know this was just great. definitely one of my fav vids.
She is amazing and forever my inspiration!
You can't help but love her, she's so very beautiful
I recently saw her in the Houston Ballet's "Romeo and Juliet" and all I can say is I feel blessed I got to see her dance in person :) She's amazing.
i love how she was talking about the "magic" of ballet. it's so true! i always wish i could have been a lovely little ballerina my own self, because i think it's just so beautiful and perfect.
I love that the Anaheim Ballet dancers are so sweet i wish i would've done ballet as a kids or gymnastics they are wonderful but i sure will get my future kids into it
She is so incredibly sweet AND talented and her turns are just FIERCE!
her description of ballet is exactly how i feel, i wish i could put everything i feel when i dance into words so eloquently as she does here.
