The Hard Reality Of Being A Teen Ballerina

Although it is preferred to start Ballet class at age 2 or 3... I started Ballet as a male Ballet dancer at 9yrs old!!! It's never to late!!

Can you start ballet at 13 years old?? I started at 2 years old but lost my love for it at 4, I'm not 13 and really want to start again is it possible??

I love my teacher because she never force’s us or makes us be a certain weight and she never makes us feel bad about it. Everyone in my class has a different body. Even in the being of the school year she said how no body is the same. I feel bad for those whose teacher make them feel bad about weight.

I have danced since I was 3 and I still love it

Some of the things are that you’re saying are true but some of them are not like Kayla is a professional and not every dancer have that similar schedule as she have

Me being a dancer in all categories 😉

I want to became a ballerina

In my opinion, it graceful, but tiring because of the practicing and other things

We have laws against kids working but if they are acting or in sport we just go ahead and steal these kids childhood so they can make money that goes to their parents.

Ballerinas turn me on especially when they are in pancake tutus

when you a ballerina and can relate to everything

Bruh have you heard of football athletes in college

Very true

Why cant girl's just accept themselves
They always want more

So they are basically saying people can’t see ANYONE except their trainers? I am in my teens and I have NOT been able to see my girlfriend for nearly 12 mouths because of training and COVID-19 😭

I quit ballet, and honestly, I neither regret nor love the decision. My main reason was because I was transgender to demiboy, I also knew a non-binary ballet dancer, however, we both never went further in ballet because of gender stereotypes and uniforms. I kind of wish that one day a non-gender specific kind of ballet can be created for these kind of things, and that it can be normalised as well.

I was born as a male but since I was a kid I wish I were a girl and was jealous of the girls who learn ballet; now I am transitioning into female but I have been 25 years old and missed the best time for transition; I know whatever I do I cannot become a ballerina, this makes me very sad and want to d*e

Sorry but this is ridiculous. They are working these poor girls to death and for what.... to dance !!?? Not worth it especially considering the salary for this career field.

As a teen ballerina my self, I love ballet but is not the case, you focused on more popular people you dance a lot bc they are famous or have a competition, such as Kayla. You should do a video that looks at teen ballerinas at a local dance studio. So that way you get the real story. Also you could just get some of your own footage for this and not use other people’s footage, to make all of this more believable

Im so grateful that even as a teen dancer, we don't have to have practice everyday all day. I love being a dancer bit im glad I don't have to do it all the time.

As a ballerina we are bosses

I possitively LOVE that you're using Strictly Ballet quotes, because that is what really inspired me

I started at three years old

Balmy is not the only hared dance

I'm a Ballerina but I stopped at prep

Hijabi Ballerina..excuse me but that is so stupid.

If you have a full time dance schedule it’s probably competition season and only if they are a competitive dancer also they are only taking things from Bella (who I love) and Kayla (who I also love) cause they have popular videos

I've been doing ballet since i was 2, ten years now, and it is all i can imagine doing in my life

I love dance but I've been struggling with the fact that I'm not even on pointe and I'm 13.

You’re making sound so bad but it’s amazing and it’s not what you said at all

I don't have money so I cannt afford so
Lucky to be a ballerina( not me, but I had the passion tho)

I love ballet but since I'm 16 and not the "ideal body type" for ballet I can't do it unless I did it at home not to mention the cost ugh :(

I'm a competitive contemporary dancer and I do quite a lot of ballet I also have points it's the best thing ever I've never regret dance

Looks and sounds pretty tough! I STILL wanna now how Maddie Ziegler, technique star from Dance Moms, does it!!!!

is it the same with hip hop or breakdance?

faith is not about having cloth on your head
many religions think they do it because of that, but if you believe in God you must know he loves you for who you are

is anyone here from bella klassens q&a video when she talks about this video??

When people complain about how ballet is hard because it takes up you're day and how they say they have body problems and how people are lucky if they don't do dance but there some people out there who want to do dance who tried it but couldn't because of there Heath problems I would die to just do ballet again I would kill myself for it

Is is all true. I’m 12 almost 13. I’ve been dancing since I was 2. It’s not bad I love it 😻

This video makes it seem like teen ballet dancers don't have time for friends. Um...we do? Like for me, one of the best things about ballet are the friends I've made. Like yes, we're spending hours and hours in class and rehearsal but I feel like for a lot of us that is social time? Am I crazy?

Easy

I am a ballerina I love ballet it is just calm but we are not soft we can be strong! I just got my pointe shoes too and it is really hard to go en pointe it can hurt but we are strong!

Hi im a dancer im 9 and i say it is really hard . Well yes i know im not a prefashional but i know how hard it was for me when i started 5 years ago.

It's NOT A SPORT. IT'S AN ARTFORM that happens to be very physically demanding but it's most definitely an ART!!

As a teen and dancer, I can see quite a few things wrong or missleading. 1st not all dancers work for the top ballet schools in the country, 2nd dancers are not always obsessed with having the perfect body. You can be an amazing dancer with out being perfect. 3rd not all dancers spend 6 hours in the studio a day. You can be an amazing dancer with out doing that. Yes it helps, but it is not required. 4th, you are making it seem like all dancers have no time to do anything else, which is not the case. I am writing this comment for people who are not dancers, and if there are any dancers who agree with me, like this comment. Edit. This also does not apply to teen dancers alone, any professional dancer could go through this.

U cheat the vid about Kayla Mak is in another vid did you even get permission from the actual vid or give credits

Lol u spelled Kayla maK wrongly

Ooo Kayla Mak

Zahra Lari is not Australian, Shae is from the UAE.
