Hey! I'm doing well, thank you so much for asking. How are you?

Yes exactly it helped me to look up to something! Thank you so much, wishing you all the best on your ballet journey 😊

hahaha no I was just too curious to know the feeling ☺️

Thank you so much! It's been a challenging but rewarding journey. I truly appreciate your kind words and hope you have a great week 😊

Ah thank you! You're gonna love it! 😊

hi! I was 24, turning 25 :)

Ah congrats on starting!! I was 24, about to turn 25 😊❤

Aw thank you! Be proud of yourself for starting, that's a huge accomplishment and remember that you’re right on time. I’m cheering for you! ❤️

Hey there 💛 First of all, I just want to say how incredibly brave you are for sharing this, it takes so much courage to open up about how you’re feeling and you articulate it so well. I completely understand why you’re feeling this way. Starting something new, especially ballet, can feel intimidating (especially when you’re in a class with younger girls.) But let me tell you this: you are not alone in this experience. Every dancer, no matter their level or age, has felt self-conscious or out of place at some point. What matters most is the effort you’re putting in. Landing your first couple of double turns? That’s a huge accomplishment! It shows how hard you’re working, and honestly, that’s something to celebrate. Stretching daily and showing up to class despite feeling unsure proves how much dedication you have and that’s more important than any level or age group. About missing the holiday show, please don’t be too hard on yourself or your mom. Things happen, and it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Your worth as a dancer isn’t defined by one missed performance or one class. What makes a dancer truly great is the love for the art and the willingness to keep going even when it’s hard. Feeling like you want to quit is totally normal when things feel overwhelming. But before you make any decisions, ask yourself why you started ballet in the first place. If ballet brings you even a tiny bit of joy, I hope you’ll hold onto that feeling. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to keep showing up. Plus, you ARE enough. You don’t have to be the best or the most advanced. Ballet is a journey, not a race. Give yourself permission to grow at your own pace. You’ve already proven how strong and determined you are. Going back to class next week might feel scary, but I promise you, those moments when we push through fear are the ones that make us grow the most. You’ve got this, and I’m rooting for you every step of the way. 💛

ahhh thank you!!! YES it's the absolute best! Congratulations ❤❤❤

Aw I know how you feel. Honestly, so many of us have these regrets, but I promise you that these feelings will subside. It's all part of the process. The important part of that you're going back to doing what you love and the fact that you have 6 years of ballet under your belt will help you so much! Wishing you the best as you start again! 💕

I totally understand how you feel, as I felt the same, but I assure you that you don't need to worry about that! I was flexible in highschool, but I wasn't super flexible when I started ballet. The beginner classes truly didn't require flexibility (as you're learning the basics). I promise the flexibility will come and it's nothing to worry about!

thank you! :)

I know how you feel 1000%. Congratulations on starting again, I hope you're first class went well 😊

Thank you so so much! I did 1 year of tap when I was 11 and cheerleading in highschool, but that's it! Thank you for being so kind 😊

ah! that's amazing, I truly believe the love of dance will stay with us forever. Thank you for your kind comment ! :)

ahh thank you! I did cheerleading in highschool and tap for a year when I was eleven, but no ballet ❤

thank youuu girly pop, you're so kind ❤❤

I know how you feel, because I felt the same, but I've truly made incredible friends in ballet! Who knows maybe you will meet your future best friend in ballet class! And maybe once you start you will inspire some of your friends to join you! I know it's scary, but follow you're heart and you won't regret it! 😊

@ thank you!! I actually just singed up for classes I’m so excited!!

Thank you for sharing your story with me. The fact that you followed your heart despite the challenges says so much about your character and who you are as a person. My only advice is keep going because you're doing great. You are such a role model, and I send you so much light! You're on the right path ❤

Yes of course!! 😊

aww congrats!!!!!

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your journey. It’s amazing that you want to get back into ballet! I totally understand the fear, but honestly, I see people with tattoos, piercings, etc, in ballet classes all the time and never once thought anything negative. Those things truly don’t mean anything and I know it’s hard but we should all be proud of our past. I can feel in your message how much you care about ballet and that’s all that matters. And truly, we are all struggling with our own insecurities and I’m sure you will have a positive experience. We all get doubts and insecurities, but I promise you it’s worth it on the other side. And I actually believe you have the chance to inspire others by being true to yourself, and I’m sure you’ll rediscover the joy that made you start in the first place. You got this!

@@dearballet Thank you so much☺️ Your words are really inspiring and make me want to try even more, with all my insecurities and worries

@@maruyaay aw thank you! I meant every word. Rooting for you! ☺️

thank you Elizabeth, big hug!! xx

24 going on 25 :)

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I can really relate to your journey, as my family also faced challenges growing up. It’s truly inspiring to hear that you’ve managed to start ballet classes on your own and follow your passion. You already have so much drive and determination and that's already something to be proud of. Plus, even while you’re at work, let yourself dream about those ballet classes-you’ve earned this chance, and I’m cheering you on every step of the way. Thanks again for the support and for letting me be a part of your journey <3

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy it resonated with you.🥹
