Dear Ballet: A Candid Dive into My 2 Year Ballet Progress | September 2021 Progress
I've been training in ballet for over 2 years now, but this is where it all started! Here's my video diary for the first 30 days of training!
👯♀️ Embarking on the Unknown:
With a leap of faith, I relocated across the country at 24 to chase my ballet dreams. This video encapsulates the rollercoaster ride-from the exhilarating highs of new beginnings to the daunting challenges of homesickness, tight budgets, and a looming quarter-life crisis as my 25th birthday approached.
🤔 Navigating the Complexities of Starting Afresh:
Starting from scratch in a new city and immersing myself in a ballet program meant confronting the complexities of a fresh start. This isn't just about perfect pliés and pirouettes; it's a candid exploration of battling ego, grappling with frustration, and embracing the humility of being a novice.
💔 Confronting the Ghosts of Potential Past:
I lay bare the internal struggle-confronting the ghosts of the imagined dancer I could have been had I started as a child. It's a phase we all endure, a clash between the romanticized vision and the gritty reality of putting in the work.
🌈 Traversing the Landscape of Grief and Self-Reflection:
Anticipate the unexpected during that inaugural month-grief, self-reflection, and the relentless questioning of your decision. I share my journey through the monkey-mind stage, urging you to trust your process and remember that it's okay not to have it all figured out from the start.
🚀 A Heartfelt Pep Talk for Your Journey:
As we bid adieu to September, (and 2023!) I leave you with a heartfelt pep talk. Whether you're mid-pirouette or exploring a different endeavor, keep pushing, keep dancing, and remember: it gets better. Join me in the next episode for October as we navigate the ebbs and flows of this ballet odyssey together.

im 16 and starting and so far there are like 10 year olds in my class that are better than me, i really wish that i could take private classes. But I know that someday I can catch up and be the version of myself I thought I could have been if I started when I was a kid. My friend started when she was my age and now she’s performing in the nutcracker, and she told me that since I’m older it will be a lot easier for me to learn things faster. that’s my sliver of hope that i’ll catch up :)
I love how supportive adult ballet community is! I just started learning at 25 and it's been a blast! Nevel let anybody tell you it's too late to make your dreams come true! ❤
aww I love this!! Couldn’t agree more 💗 congrats on starting !! 🩰💫
This was definitely the video I needed to watch
Reading this absolutely melted my heart. Thank you for sharing your story and being so kind! I am 100% rooting for you, you’re right on track! 🥹💗🎀🩰💗
@dearballet I am curious, how much time per week are you spending doing this? I really want to start asap... I am turning 34. I remember being in ballet as a child, only one class and I burst into tears bc of being self conscious... I find it crazy to think I have the audacity to even imagine but still there is one class... for adults one class per week but I think I can take more classes at the college..
I need to watch this again when I get started..it's so encouraging to see thank you for sharing ❤
Im so excited for you to start ballet again! I fully know how you feel. I fully encourage you to go once a week! You can always add more classes but im sure you will see improvement with even one class per week! When I was doing this program we would have ballet twice a week, but I would go to extra classes (it gets so addictive!) so I would do about 6-10h per week. Now Ive had more time so I got at least 3x per week, but it changes! Be kind with yourself, just the fact that you have plans to train again is huge! I know how scary it is. You got this! @@KenziBabenzi ❣
@@dearballet thanks love, I appreciate the encouragement! 💖
Loved the video! Everything you said about "what I could have been" phase was so on point(e). Thank you for talking about it, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. ☺
Aww thank you, it really means a lot. I’m so happy I’m not the only one 🥹💗
Thank you for this video!❤I really needed to see this to realise that I'm not the only one going through that stage of "grief". Sometimes it just feels like it's impossible to progress in dancing as an adult, but people like you give me the motivation to keep going.
aww thank you for this 🥺 you made my day ❤️
You don’t understand how much I needed this video 🤍🤍
This was absolutely beautiful 🥺🥺 I definitely needed to hear all of these. My brain LOVES to romanticize. Then I become discouraged and quit everything. I seriously feel like I can have a different mindset now after watching this video.
You have no idea how much this means to me, thank you so much 🥺❤️
I loved this video and the bravery you showed!💗Personally, I can't wait 'til I finish high school, cause then my mom will let me start ballet and I will be 19!
i really liked this video ! keep this content coming. i’m starting ballet this wednesday and im so excited to jump in but nervous about putting in the work so thank you 💝
This video is so inspirational! I've always loved ballet, and even though I just turned 21, I'm planning on starting ballet this year!!
Thank you so much! Go for it 100%, I PROMISE you that you wont regret it! :)
This was everything I needed to hear right now 💕 Bless you for sharing!
Im so happy to hear this 🥹💗
Seeing people's journey is ever so inspiring, yours as well. I believe i am living the same stage of ballet that you are even when i am just 18 (i guess the ego does not discriminate by age lol ), so listen to your experience is really helpful, thanks for your video! (Excuse any of my mistakes pls, english is not my first language ha ha) 💞
Your English is soo good!! 🥹🤍 and thank you for being so kind! I absolutely agree, my ego has been telling me that since I’m 14 😂 rooting for you ❤️
This inspires me to go back to dancing 💕
Sasha 🥹❤️🩹 thank you!!

You are so amazing I’m so proud of you
🥹💗💗💗💗💗
So inspiring! Thank you for sharing. 🤍 I just moved across the country and I’m learning to dance at 28! I resonate with every bit of this & needed to hear these words today. It’s been emotionally and financially stressful but…so beautiful. 🤍
Aww I absolutely love this 💗 we truly are all connected. I’m cheering you on. Thank you for your kind words 🥹💫
