i stopped dancing at age 13 because of my experience with dance and comparing myself to others. there was no conversation about body image or EDs at that time because this was in 1998. back in the good ol heroine chic days. i feel like things have improved a lot regarding body positivity which helps me a lot now. i developed an eating disorder starting in 9th grate and it got worse and worse and included several kinds of EDs and, while i have gotten help and worked hard to shed a lot of those behaviors, i still struggle today. every single day. and i am 35. i have started to work with a dietician and continue therapy. no matter what size i am i struggle. i really appreciate your message and i hear that body image in on the table for everyone to discuss and pay attention to in oneself and others. i think you are such a thoughtful human being and you are so compassionate of yourself and others. thanks for talking about all of this so people who are currently dancing might hear your words and know that things are progressing and all body shapes are beautiful. i second your suggestion for getting help. it is KEY and it is why i have managed to survive. i really enjoy your videos and i hope you are having a good week!
this comment made me cry 🥺❤ thank you so so much for you kind words, they truly mean so much to me. I also so dearly admire the strength you have in fighting this. I hope this world will change for the better and bring these heavier topics into light because they need to be. All bodies are beautiful regardless of shape, size, color, whatever! and I hope that someday, society will accept this notion. I am so glad you were able to get help, and I hope that one day you will be able to fully heal from this. I wish you ALL the best on your healing journey. I'm sending so much love you way!! ❤
omgggg i’m so happy you included mine!!! i am a dancer and i get that question a lot. even though i am a female which kind of doesn’t make sense? haha love you!!💜💜
ahh yes of course! I also get this question a lot lol but most people just have these wrong assumptions in their brains. I hope one day we can stop this idea that ballet is only for girls because it's not! ❤ love you
aww thank you 😭❤️ tbh i haven’t been able to do a needle like that in a while. along with my ankle injury, i’ve been having hip and back problems 😩 I wanna get it back now haha
this means so much to me 🥺 It makes me so happy knowing that I am able to motivate you. Just remember that our situation isn’t permanent, and one day we will get out of this mess. focus on your basics while you’re in lockdown so you can come back stronger! thank you love 💗
hi, those topics are really hard, but thank u for a video, it shows ur emotions behind many ballet advantages and disadvantages, so thank u for that. x.
thank you so much, i’m glad I could help you in some way 🥺❤️ I try to be as real here as possible. Ballet is not easy at all, and there are so many things that need to have more light shed on them!
haha you're exactly correct! I love their personalities so much ❤ my buns are doing so well! sorry I haven't shown them in a video in a while. I will remember to get more clips of them in future vlogs. I post videos of them on my instagram daily if you wanna keep up with them 🐰
whatt fr?! if they're doing that, they aren't true friends. my non-dancer friends have been nothing but supportive of me, and anyone else who didn't support me I cut off from my life. they have no idea what they're talking about. they should respect your sport just as much as they would with football. don't listen to them, KEEP GOING! ❤
whoa really?! I didn't know that, that's sooo dope. if all of his fans saw that, it would help debunk that stereotype that "ballet is only for girls" because it's for EVERYONE! ❤
@@RiannaTalento they definitely would . uu have alot of talent & even though ii found your channel from your pack with me video when uu were leaving home to move watching alit more of your videos & seeing such diversity, like ballet , uu having rabbits living a minimalist lifestyle etc . made me want to stay even more ... it just added that extra sparkle to my life to see another queen on here doing her thing in such a positive manner
@@passionnproductions omg this is the sweetest comment i’ve ever received, thank you so much love 🥺❤️ I put my heart and soul into this channel and I want it to be a safe space for everyone. It makes me so happy that you recognize that, love you!
I’m not a dancer but I have never once questioned if Ballet/dance is a sport. The amount of physical and mental strength required is unbelievable!
I’m literally stressing because I’m early and I don’t know what to say 😂 love you and your channel !❤️✨
bahaha don't stress! I'll appreciate any comment, even if it's just a random fun fact 😝 I love you! ❤
The second I found your channel I literally watched all of your videos. I comment on a lot because I really want to support you! ❤️
omg thank you so much Ava, this is so kind of you 🥺❤️ I love all the comments I get from you, thank you for supporting me!
I'm a dancer and a perfectionist myself and im glad im not alone🥺❤ thank you for thr advice 😁
ahh yes! always push yourself to be better than you were yesterday, but don't stress about "being perfect" because it's not possible! love you ❤

my friends keep making fun of me when i say i do ballet

she put minnnneeee in the video 🥺
yes ofc queen! thank you for submitting an assumption ❤
chris brown does ballet half of the reason he knows how to flip & do all the things he do
whoa really?! I didn't know that, that's sooo dope. if all of his fans saw that, it would help debunk that stereotype that "ballet is only for girls" because it's for EVERYONE! ❤
