    So ballet exams are similar to classical singing exams. We too at music school practice all our arias and oratorio etc throughout the year till the final exams in May.
    By the way thank you for sharing your life day with us. It was really informative and really fresh to see it through your camera without unnecessary talking of some third person. Thank you for also showing us the struggle but also the fun side I mean it takes a lot of work but is also something you enjoy doing so you show it to us as beautiful as fun as it is along with the hardness of it. It was a really beautiful every day experience instead of the usual glamor people expect to see like a performance in ballet but people forget that those who dance are people, children that also have fun except from work.
    I am also really happy that you love what you do (there are still stupid stereotypes about males doing ballet out there) but you obviously love what you do and you also share with us your emotions. Thank you for this video. Keep practicing.

    The castañuelas omg! As a Flamenco dancer I can say that you play them pretty well. I would love to see you dancing with them

    I watched this video while cooking dinner (or the oven cooking dinner) and longboarding across my kitchen. I am learning to longboard. Fun!

    While we're on that note, is icecream that expensive in Germany?

      It's not. Ofc it depends on where you are in germany, but usually one ball of ice cream costs abt 1-2€

      Ben&Jerrys yes, especially the vegan one. Other ice cream isn't that expensive

      Is because of the mark of the ice cream

      @@iida2967 2€? o.O
      Für 2€ hab ich noch nie welches gesehen, in Westdeutschland, wo ich wohne, kostet eine Kugel je nach Laden von 90 Cent zu 1,20€ ungefähr. Aber 2€ ist schon extremst teuer.

      Normally a scoop of ice cream costs around 70 cents here but it depends on the brand (I live in east Germany )
