I also do ballet (I’m 12) and I’ve always been not a skinny as most of the other girls, and I always felt embarrassed about it, but ever since I started watching you, I’ve realized that I go to ballet to dance, not to be compared to other girls and you have helped me get to the point where I don’t compare myself as much anymore, and I just wanted to thank you for that!! Love you ❤️ Edit: Holy cow thank you so much for all the likes!
Emma .B you are your own beautiful person. Never feel like you should fit yourself into a mould that was not made for you. You are a dancer and you have a body, your body does not determine your dance. You are wonderful and so cool for realising that bodies don't fucking matter. GO EMMA!!! Woohoo
ballet is very frustrating and but rewarding at the same time I have gone back and fourth with it for years but I always seem to end up back dancing. keep it up, you're beautiful
This is super coincidental but it’s true😂 my name is also Luna and I’ve been a ballet dancer for the past 11 years and last week I actually decided to quit ballet temporarily. I was just feeling so overwhelmed, depressed, and tired that I couldn’t take it anymore. Anyways i love your video Luna:) 🥰😘♥️
f i n d i n g s e r e n i t y it's never too late to start dance up again. I'm sure if you practice alot during the summer you can resume classes in the fall?
f i n d i n g s e r e n i t y it’s never too late I broke my ankle last year and I had to have screws in my left ankle . The doctor said that he didn’t know if I could dance the same way I have before. While I was on a break it shaped me loving to dance and all I wanted to do was dance and I soon as I got in the studio I progressed so much and this year in December I’m going to be the youngest Mary (in The Nativity) that the studio has ever had ! So it shows that it’s never too late to go back and get in that studio but you do you !
My parents told me that I’m going to be in Florida for 3 WEEKS in March. I live in Illinois, and I have auditions in March, rehearsals in March, and summer intensives. So I had a literal anxiety attack in the shower. I know that’ll I’ll stay in shape with swimming, working out, and stretching but still I’m freaking out. I fell like in going to lose al of my technique and stamina and everything. It’s just really bad timing. Obviously I’m grateful, but it’s still overwhelming.
Devin Birch There are most definitely schools or studios around that you can take drop in classes at. Google all the studios in the area and look on their website or contact them about open class or dropping in.
"Depressed" is an adjective as well, not only a diagnostic-you can be and feel and say you're depressed and not mean clinical depression. :) Sending you hugs and good thoughts!
Ikr, everyone gets so upset when someone says "I'm feeling really depressed right now." They say "have you been diagnosed? Has a doctor given you a diagnosis? You shouldn't self diagnose" Like, I get it, depression is a serious issue and shouldn't be taken lightly, but depressed is also an adjective, not just a mental illness.
@@Luna-dr9kw MediocreHaddie is right though. "Depressed" is also an adjective to describe mood, it doesn't just refer to MDD. I felt depressed when my cousin suddenly died. That feeling of being depressed was a natural part of my mourning period. But I don't suffer from clinical depression, that's a chronic mental illness marked by neurotransmitter imbalance. Even doctors will agree that acute bouts of situational depression warrant someone the right to say they are feeling depressed. And it does *not* mean they aren't suffering. People need to stop saying ignorant things like this because it invalidates the real feelings of people who are going through exceptionally traumatic times in life. If a mother lost her child you would assume it was natural for her to feel depressed as she grieves right? If you're feeling depressed you're feeling depressed and that's that. It doesn't mean people are trivialising the mental illness of MDD.
I’m in sleeping beauty for my spring ballet I’m gold fairy and I love it, ballet is rlly hard mentally and physically to get through sometimes. I just got out of a really toxic studio where the people didn’t like me and I would stress out everytime I went across the floor. Things got better when I got more confidence, which came for me when I switched studios bc I moved, but you have friends at your studio so just focus on all your amazing qualities and that what you do is like super human to most
i admire you so much for putting yourself out there. i love your personality and everything you stand for. thank you for keeping me inspired as a dancer
I’m a 54 year old grandmother. I’m so thankful to hear your mission statement and that you’re reaching out to other young women in an authentic way. I remember looking at magazines as a young lady ( who wasn’t overweight at all but thought I was fat. Wish I appreciated myself then! Lol) and feeling so bad about myself because I wasn’t as thin as the models. This was in the early 80’s and I know it’s gotten even worse. Anyway, I just want you to know I admire what you’re doing and I’m a subscriber! 😀
Thank you for being so vulnerable its really comforting to know that such a talented beautiful amazing person is so down to earth and “isn’t perfect” never stop doing what your doing and don’t ever give up you are so inspiring
It's honestly refreshing to hear you talk about the frustrations and pressure/stress that comes with dance. I think everyone at some point has questioned their dancing and doubted themselves, so it's really nice we can all relate with that.
Dear Luna, I usually never take the time to respond to a video but you are the first person I have seen online/ on UA-cam who speaks the truth and someone who understands the struggles of ballet mentally. I've just started again after a 2 year break and Its hard not as much physically as it is mentally. Getting into a new studio, seeing the girls your age dance in higher classes because they didn't take a break its hard. Ballet comes with perfectionism and that's also the great thing about it. But it makes you view yourself and your body in such a critical way. Thank you for speaking out and showing girls like me out there that I'm not the only one having doubts and getting into my own head while rehearsing. xoxo Caitlin
luna i love you so much and im so proud of how authentic and real you are,you just talking about some topics have made me feel so much better about myself and youve genuinely helped so much and im so proud of you
you're seriously so inspirational and such a genuine, beautiful human ♥️ hope you start feeling better soon, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel even if you can't see it
Omg Bournenville kills 😭 I was the third variation (the one opening with grande glissades) btw thank you for being so real, you are helping a lot of people! 💗
thank you so much for everything you stand for and being open about it. your want to help people shows and it helps. i am someone who is very comfortable with my life generally, and i don’t struggle with a ton of things that i need help with but even someone who lives a pretty good life can learn from you and i’m grateful because that is not something that happens to me very often.
aaagh I actually love you and you're channel so so so much! You're so down to earth and real and genuine I just can't like wrap my head around it. I find myself trying to portray myself as someone I'm not so often and every time I catch myself out on it I think of you because I feel so inspired by you and sometimes when I think of things that you've said I feel so empowered that nothing can bring me down. lysssm keep doing what you're doing
Thank you so much for this. I've been struggling with my self image lately and your speech helped me to remember that it's not about the outside that matters, but your inner soul, and what you do for others. You have a beautiful soul Luna. Sending all of the positive thoughts and feelings your way. xo
thank you for putting yourself out there!! people like you inspire me to be confident and find happiness in the way i am and help me to try not to compare myself with others. thank you for this it needs to be said more often!💛
I love your mission statement and what you talk about on this channel so much. I know from experience how it feels to break down and get upset with your body and your image. But you helped me realize that I'm not alone; that there are many people who feel the same way. For that, I am really grateful. :-) I just restarted dance after a break because of stage fright (I think I commented on one of your other videos saying that already). Honestly, even at my last performance I was so scared of how the audience would look at me and if they would judge my body figure or not. In the end I realized that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, that I am my own person and that I started dance in the first place because it's my passion. I know I'm not good - yet - but I came to learn and I'm proud of myself and my body. Thank you so much, Luna. You've honestly done so much to help girls, dancers, and people in general around the world. And yes, you really do look good in space buns!!
I recently discovered your channel and I really love how you are a true role model for young girls out there! You give a true and real version of yourself, in a way where you acknowledge your flaws and "weaknesses". I'm glad you realize the worth of this in your mission for your channel, cause we all see those perfect golden girls everywhere and honestly I don't want to see more. Not because only because we automatically compare but because its honestly just BS. We're so not all perfect. It's great that you share your doubts about yourself to the extent that you do, cause it's something I feel we all go through but are never able to talk about. You go girl!
Please don't ever change!! I see so many UA-camrs who I've been watching from their beginning and they sooo so often completely change as they start to have crazy amounts of followers and turn their channel into a business. I love your types of videos. You're literally the only UA-camr I can watch feeling inspired in a good way after. Thank you so much for being genuinely honest , I love UU
Your channel is so amazing! I’ve been struggling with how I look in ballet class and I love my studio and I love ballet I just always think that I should be better and that I could look more like the other girls but having somebody who talks about it openly like you do is so inspirational because sometimes I just feel like I’m the only one who feels that way, so thank you for being so awesome, and keep doing what your doing!
Luna, I love your channel SO much. You’re so genuine and down to earth it shows in your soul and in the way you carry yourself. You’re beautiful inside and out, the way that you show your “weaknesses” or the way that you actually talk about your struggles is actually inspiring and it makes you a “golden girl” with a good cause and purpose not just a “golden girl” with looks or a following.
I love how your honest with yourself and us! I'm also doing ballet and it's HARD so I found your channel and now I feel better about dedication and confidence! Good luck with everything of the future!
I think you're one of the most beautiful humans I ever seen, not because of your looks ( of course you ARE really, really pretty) but you can put emotions into words sooo good! And I feel like thats not something a lot of people can do. Anyways love you all
Girl seriously though you DO look absolutely perfect😍 it's okay to not feel really good about your looks all the time but remember that you are beautiful inside and out and this sounds so cheesy but you genuinely seem like such a nice person and someone who is really fun to hang out with. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Love xx
you’re so amazing and inspiring. i love your videos so much, hope you’re doing well. lots of love💛 also you’re so amazing at ballet, you look gorgeous! thank you for sharing your insecurities!!
This is my first time watching one of your videos, but literally everything you just said is so relatable- especially the living by yourself stuff. It's pretty much word for word as a theatre major.
I absolutely love the “Wednesday morning thought” section of the video. Never forget your roots of why you’re doing what your doing girl. Please continue being real and raw because that’s when you shine the most. 😊
you are so strong. it is amazing that you are able to realize that things are wrong and quickly take action to do what is best for yourself. i’m you’re age and also a dancer and it took me a long time to be able to learn that. i want to pursue dance regardless of the fact that there are many odds against me. i understand how down it can make people feel.
I appreciate your honesty and openness so much. I competitively figure skate and am constantly put down or put myself down because maybe my thighs are bigger and more muscular and I'm not that petite skater and your videos have definitely helped in that I'm not the only person that this sort of thing is happening to
I’m so thankful for all you say and do. I’m a dancer, specifically a ballet dancer, and I don’t fit the cookie cutter body. I also started dancing at 12 which is crazy late. You have inspired me so much and showed me that not everyone feels perfect all the time.
Everytime i watch you dance i miss my ballet classes!!! you are such a talented dancer! you are such an inspiration to me, it's nice to know that i have someone to relate to.
You are honestly so beautiful inside and out. I seriously wish I knew you in real life because I feel like you are just like me, in the aspect of struggling with things and wanting to look like other people and all. You really inspire me and I mean it ❣️😚
The video "i hate my body" actually really helped me and convinced me that I'm not alone in this kind of thoughts. You're beautiful inside and out and you're also such a big inspiration❤ you do you girl so keep doing what you love💓
I feel like you’re the only UA-camr that is truly real and authentic on the platform. You talk about things that most UA-camrs would be terrified to say. Your mission statement is amazing and beautiful 😍
I actually started crying in the middle of watching this because I had a really hard time in pointe today and I felt like I shouldn’t even have been in the class, I guess I didn’t feel like was strong enough to keep dancing. But I watched this and it really inspired me so thank you so much!! ❤️
This is the first video I saw it when I first got into your channel. You have come so far you're, amazingly talented girl and it's so wonderful to have someone to look up to.
I could sit here’s and write all day about how beautiful and talented and smart u r but in the end u need to believe in yourself your pushing yourself to get better and that’s great and as a dancer the mental game is a whole new level of hard looking at yourself in the mirror and judging,comparing yourself to others but if I had to bet my money on someone it would be u, ur going to make but you have to believe that too u probably won’t even see this but this is to everyone, love yourself never stop pushing to be better it’s going to be hard but you will make it!
I love the way you acknowledge depression. If anything, it made your feelings seem more authentic and I’m so grateful you posted this because I’ve been feeling the same way. But you’re so inspiring, and I love you just live life dude!
Luna, I admire you for being down to earth even if it's not the "prettiest" thing to show. I think alot of the girls (and maybe boys) that are watching can relate to your feelings and doubts. You are definetely an inspiration and one of a kind! I love your content
I did ballet from the ages 4 to 16 and it got to the point where I became so so overwhelmed with it that I quit to deal with my depression and anxiety, watching this gives me so so much nostalgia of the feeling of dancing and I truly do think about that everyday and wish I would’ve continued! It’s great that your showing the struggles in the studio because it’s not all people think it’s cut out to be keep going though you got this 😀
Luna is the only UA-cam I’ve truly watched that actually wants and longs to make a difference and help ppl and be the older sister to everyone and I absolutely love that ♥️♥️
Thank you for doing this kind of video. It helps me a lot as a person/ dancer as well, mostly that I just started dancing 3years ago and then I have these mixed up feelings. I experienced this situations as well. Since I’ve watched this video you inspired me as well. Thank you.
hey luna, i get what you mean about the depressive episodes coming in waves and i’m going through that right now. i’m dealing with so much shit at home and in my head it’s just too much for me.the past two years i’ve struggled with attendance at school and i don’t think this year will be any different. it’s the second week and last night ( monday night ) i already had a breakdown and sobbed for an hour, woke up with puffy eyes today and didn’t want to go to school even more due to it. my mum just doesn’t understand how cornered and pressured i feel and i just can’t take it anymore. sorry if this is negative energy, but not everything is positive all the time. you have to have the bad days to have the good ones. i just wanted you to know that this helped cheer up a sad girl on a tuesday morning who is questioning everything right now. i think i’m going through an identity crisi all the while this is going on. i’ve dealt with all these problems for years now, but they’re just getting too much and i’m about to break. love you
I never felt so understood by anybody else. All you say is so true and I am so thankful that someone is strong enough to say all these things so clear and honest. Thank you for making your channel like this, it helps me as a dancer and as a young girl with all of this struggles and fears to be the best version of myself. ( sorry for th mistakes in spelling and grammar, I am a German )
Im so happy you talk about real stuff. I totally know how you feel though. Your such a beautiful girl inside and out, and I hope soon you'll be able to realize that beauty.
Hey Luna, I wanted to thank you. In every single way you helped me so much. I used to have an short term eating disorder (bulimia). I was doing it because I was blaming myself for not looking like all the other girls- Instagram models youtubers etc. I came across your channel and you have inspired me so much. You ware the first ballerina (that I’ve seen) that wasn’t looking like a stick while eating nothing(no offense to anyone) and It made me so happy that a beautiful talented and amazing girl that has an amazing body is able to do what she loves without anyone saying she should look like this or that! You do your thing and although you have ups and downs you still don’t give up. It is so inspiring and the fact that you also have break downs too and show it to us is litterateur the best thing because we can see you are a normal person too! After one video I fell in love with you and your videos and decided to just love who I am no matter what size am I or how similar to models do I look! Love you the most and again thank you soo much! You are my biggest inspiration and I am degenerate putting you on my dream board to just get inspired. Love, Klaudia
i found your Channel through a body hair video and little did I know that you would help me with my performances with my positivity and my extra curricular sports. Let me elaborate, you have been such and inspiration to me, i started dancing 3 years ago and i have always put myself down about ‘oh my hop wasn’t as sharp as hers’ or ‘my bend wasn’t as strong’ but watching your videos has just put such a strong perspective on me and thank you so much for that
I think the best people to look up to are those who are honest and relatable. It makes me feel like I can get through my body dysmorphia and learn to love who I am.
Luna, you are exactly where I was 2 years ago! I am at university now, studying history, not dance! And keeping up with academia as dance through the last years of school was mentally and physically exhausting. Please remember to take time for yourself and remember the only pressure on you is from yourself! We are all rooting for you!💕
I love seeing you dance, you look so beautiful!! 😍 Seriously though, everytime you go into the reasons you’re doing this UA-cam thing you give me such a “proud auntie” moment. You’re so much younger than me, and you bring me back to that time in my life, and let me tell you: girl, you’ll be fine!! You have such a good outlook on life that I’m sure you’ll be great at whatever you set your mind to do.
I’m rewatching a lot of your videos and I found this one so refreshing. I’m about to go back to dancing after literally all summer off and I’ve contemplated a lot whether I wanted to go back or not. Recently I’ve been feeling so bad about my abilities but then I narrowed down that feeling to my old instructor who- in retrospect- has been bullying me, so I’m moving on. thank you for showing all the sides to ballet, this really really did help 💖💖 also totally felt what you said about variations 😓 For my last concert, I did the Golden Vine variation from Sleeping Beauty and I always rehearsed it at a slower tempo but for whatever reason the app that my instructor used to slow down the tempo wasn’t working the day of the show so I went on stage and danced it at full tempo 😬😬 so yeah, I totally felt what you said about variations
before i go to bed i always try to find a video that just makes me feel good so i’m i’m a good mood when i go to bed and i always end up on ur channel crying every night. just thank u for posting this content keep it up we love u 😘
hey luna, i just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏🏼you helped me so much because i'm dancing ballett as well and i thought i'm alone, well i'm not, thank you sooo much❤️You're my idol, stay who you are😍
I feel like your the only UA-camr who shares whats actually happening in their lives lol love u for that
Lizabeth Monegro go check out domo wilson
Norris nuts

100% not the only youtube but ok
I also do ballet (I’m 12) and I’ve always been not a skinny as most of the other girls, and I always felt embarrassed about it, but ever since I started watching you, I’ve realized that I go to ballet to dance, not to be compared to other girls and you have helped me get to the point where I don’t compare myself as much anymore, and I just wanted to thank you for that!!

M Thank you so much! ❤️
Luna Montana thank you so much!!! I love you too
Im 9 i still studying grandjete or something like that i forget allready im from indonesia
I sometimes really want to quit ballet because its hard for me
ballet is very frustrating and but rewarding at the same time I have gone back and fourth with it for years but I always seem to end up back dancing. keep it up, you're beautiful
The reason I look up to u is bc your not the “golden girl” your a real, amazing human who inspires me daily.
Rlly same!
you're
But, she is the golden girl
Golden girl is someone older like the show someone in their golden years
Idk what this means. Please elaborate.
This is super coincidental but it’s true😂 my name is also Luna and I’ve been a ballet dancer for the past 11 years and last week I actually decided to quit ballet temporarily.

My name is Luna too and I also do ballet
f i n d i n g s e r e n i t y it's never too late to start dance up again. I'm sure if you practice alot during the summer you can resume classes in the fall?
f i n d i n g s e r e n i t y it’s never too late I broke my ankle last year and I had to have screws in my left ankle .

So it shows that it’s never too late to go back and get in that studio but you do you !
My name isn’t Luna but I still do ballet. 👋🏽🙂
My parents told me that I’m going to be in Florida for 3 WEEKS in March. I live in Illinois, and I have auditions in March, rehearsals in March, and summer intensives. So I had a literal anxiety attack in the shower. I know that’ll I’ll stay in shape with swimming, working out, and stretching but still I’m freaking out. I fell like in going to lose al of my technique and stamina and everything. It’s just really bad timing. Obviously I’m grateful, but it’s still overwhelming.
Is there a local school you can attend?
Devin Birch There are most definitely schools or studios around that you can take drop in classes at. Google all the studios in the area and look on their website or contact them about open class or dropping in.
Dont worry i have ballet exams every year and the examiner was soo harsh half my grade level cried afterwards
Where in Illinois?
Ayeee I live in Illinois aswell I really hope to move to nyc for my dance career

The amount of times I have had full breakdowns during private rehearsal time is astounding. I feel you.
Ok but how is someone who is only 18 so inspirational and amazing! Love youuu
You look so good in space buns and I don't think a lot of people do

It's great that you share your doubts about yourself to the extent that you do, cause it's something I feel we all go through but are never able to talk about. You go girl!
Please don't ever change!! I see so many UA-camrs who I've been watching from their beginning and they sooo so often completely change as they start to have crazy amounts of followers and turn their channel into a business. I love your types of videos. You're literally the only UA-camr I can watch feeling inspired in a good way after. Thank you so much for being genuinely honest , I love UU
you're so beautiful luna, stay positive
You are literally so amazing I can’t even dream of being that good!! I’ve been en pointe for about 2 years
Your channel is so amazing! I’ve been struggling with how I look in ballet class and I love my studio and I love ballet I just always think that I should be better and that I could look more like the other girls but having somebody who talks about it openly like you do is so inspirational because sometimes I just feel like I’m the only one who feels that way, so thank you for being so awesome, and keep doing what your doing!
Luna, I love your channel SO much. You’re so genuine and down to earth it shows in your soul and in the way you carry yourself. You’re beautiful inside and out, the way that you show your “weaknesses” or the way that you actually talk about your struggles is actually inspiring and it makes you a “golden girl” with a good cause and purpose not just a “golden girl” with looks or a following.
i admire you for putting your true self out there. i feel like the ability to show weakness shows more strength then just being (seemingly) strong
I love how your honest with yourself and us! I'm also doing ballet and it's HARD so I found your channel and now I feel better about dedication and confidence! Good luck with everything of the future!
I have done that Napoli variation before and it is so hard omg
I think you're one of the most beautiful humans I ever seen, not because of your looks ( of course you ARE really, really pretty) but you can put emotions into words sooo good! And I feel like thats not something a lot of people can do. Anyways love you all
i am obsessed with your videos because of how relatable you are. just stay being you x
Girl seriously though you DO look absolutely perfect😍 it's okay to not feel really good about your looks all the time but remember that you are beautiful inside and out and this sounds so cheesy but you genuinely seem like such a nice person and someone who is really fun to hang out with. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Love xx
Luna, your dancing skills are literally all I could ever dream of!!! I adore you and you look absolutely stunning and beautiful!!
you’re so amazing and inspiring. i love your videos so much, hope you’re doing well. lots of love💛 also you’re so amazing at ballet, you look gorgeous! thank you for sharing your insecurities!!
You are such a genuine human being with a big heart ! Thank you so much for having made my day a bit brighter !
Love u Angel
This is my first time watching one of your videos, but literally everything you just said is so relatable- especially the living by yourself stuff. It's pretty much word for word as a theatre major.
You’re genuinely so inspirational I can’t describe it💗💗💗
just keep doing what you’re doing luna - positive output brings positive input, all you have to do is be patient
You’re literally the prettiest person ever and seem so genuine!!
ur one of the realest youtubers I know and thats why I love you you've helped me so so many times thank u
I've been feeling the same way, very down on myself lately... I love you for being yourself, you have such a beautiful soul ❤️
I absolutely love the “Wednesday morning thought” section of the video. Never forget your roots of why you’re doing what your doing girl. Please continue being real and raw because that’s when you shine the most. 😊
you are so strong. it is amazing that you are able to realize that things are wrong and quickly take action to do what is best for yourself. i’m you’re age and also a dancer and it took me a long time to be able to learn that. i want to pursue dance regardless of the fact that there are many odds against me. i understand how down it can make people feel.
I wish i could be as brave as you, you're so open without any fear of judgment. You're a true inspiration!
I appreciate your honesty and openness so much. I competitively figure skate and am constantly put down or put myself down because maybe my thighs are bigger and more muscular and I'm not that petite skater and your videos have definitely helped in that I'm not the only person that this sort of thing is happening to
I’m so thankful for all you say and do. I’m a dancer, specifically a ballet dancer, and I don’t fit the cookie cutter body. I also started dancing at 12 which is crazy late. You have inspired me so much and showed me that not everyone feels perfect all the time.
I honestly love your videos so much xxx I hope you're feeling better soon and you are such an inspiration to me to try and stay strong xxxx
I know this is not a fresh video but I'm glad I found you. Thank you for being you 💜
I LOVE WATCHING YOU DANCE! Such an inspiration! Whatever path you choose, always keep dance in your life home girl
Everytime i watch you dance i miss my ballet classes!!! you are such a talented dancer! you are such an inspiration to me, it's nice to know that i have someone to relate to.
You are honestly so beautiful inside and out. I seriously wish I knew you in real life because I feel like you are just like me, in the aspect of struggling with things and wanting to look like other people and all. You really inspire me and I mean it ❣️😚
Love how real you are Luna, you truly help me with every video I watch. 🖤
The video "i hate my body" actually really helped me and convinced me that I'm not alone in this kind of thoughts. You're beautiful inside and out and you're also such a big inspiration❤ you do you girl so keep doing what you love💓
I feel like you’re the only UA-camr that is truly real and authentic on the platform. You talk about things that most UA-camrs would be terrified to say. Your mission statement is amazing and beautiful 😍
I actually started crying in the middle of watching this because I had a really hard time in pointe today and I felt like I shouldn’t even have been in the class, I guess I didn’t feel like was strong enough to keep dancing. But I watched this and it really inspired me so thank you so much!! ❤️
Luna, so proud of you for standing your ground! Stay authentic to yourself and any success you have will be so much more worthwhile.
luna, you really are a beautiful soul, thank you for inspiring people to love themselves for who they are
Thank you for doing this. You’re a beautiful soul and the world needs more of you.
This is the first video I saw it when I first got into your channel. You have come so far you're, amazingly talented girl and it's so wonderful to have someone to look up to.
I love your message and everything you stand for. You are so inspirational and I hope you succeed in whatever you want to do❤️❤️❤️
looking back at this and now im so proud of u for overcoming all these and now being happy dancing ballet again
I could sit here’s and write all day about how beautiful and talented and smart u r but in the end u need to believe in yourself your pushing yourself to get better and that’s great and as a dancer the mental game is a whole new level of hard looking at yourself in the mirror and judging,comparing yourself to others but if I had to bet my money on someone it would be u, ur going to make but you have to believe that too u probably won’t even see this but this is to everyone, love yourself never stop pushing to be better it’s going to be hard but you will make it!
I love the way you acknowledge depression. If anything, it made your feelings seem more authentic and I’m so grateful you posted this because I’ve been feeling the same way. But you’re so inspiring, and I love you just live life dude!
We love you Luna!! You've got this ❤️❤️
Luna, I admire you for being down to earth even if it's not the "prettiest" thing to show. I think alot of the girls (and maybe boys) that are watching can relate to your feelings and doubts. You are definetely an inspiration and one of a kind! I love your content
Loved this vlog! Thanks for being so open about everything you go through. You’ve definitely inspired me xx
you inspire me by making me feel like I am worth it and beautiful. thank you so much, luna.
I did ballet from the ages 4 to 16 and it got to the point where I became so so overwhelmed with it that I quit to deal with my depression and anxiety, watching this gives me so so much nostalgia of the feeling of dancing and I truly do think about that everyday and wish I would’ve continued! It’s great that your showing the struggles in the studio because it’s not all people think it’s cut out to be keep going though you got this 😀
Luna is the only UA-cam I’ve truly watched that actually wants and longs to make a difference and help ppl and be the older sister to everyone and I absolutely love that ♥️♥️
Jesus Christ you dance beautifully, your body your face your movements are so smooth! You’re incredible! Love your real ness! Love watching you grow 🥰
i love you and i love your channel cause you're so honest and really show us your emotions and feelings.
I really appreciate your realism in those videos ❤️ Something I can relate to. Thank you for that 💕💕💕
Thank you for doing this kind of video. It helps me a lot as a person/ dancer as well, mostly that I just started dancing 3years ago and then I have these mixed up feelings. I experienced this situations as well. Since I’ve watched this video you inspired me as well. Thank you.
hey luna, i get what you mean about the depressive episodes coming in waves and i’m going through that right now. i’m dealing with so much shit at home and in my head it’s just too much for me.the past two years i’ve struggled with attendance at school and i don’t think this year will be any different. it’s the second week and last night ( monday night ) i already had a breakdown and sobbed for an hour, woke up with puffy eyes today and didn’t want to go to school even more due to it. my mum just doesn’t understand how cornered and pressured i feel and i just can’t take it anymore. sorry if this is negative energy, but not everything is positive all the time. you have to have the bad days to have the good ones. i just wanted you to know that this helped cheer up a sad girl on a tuesday morning who is questioning everything right now. i think i’m going through an identity crisi all the while this is going on. i’ve dealt with all these problems for years now, but they’re just getting too much and i’m about to break. love you
I never felt so understood by anybody else. All you say is so true and I am so thankful that someone is strong enough to say all these things so clear and honest. Thank you for making your channel like this, it helps me as a dancer and as a young girl with all of this struggles and fears to be the best version of myself. ( sorry for th mistakes in spelling and grammar, I am a German )
Im a ballet dancer and have been dancing for ten years and your videos always inspire me to keep doing what I love even when it gets hard. Thank you.
Im so happy you talk about real stuff. I totally know how you feel though. Your such a beautiful girl inside and out, and I hope soon you'll be able to realize that beauty.
Your videos help me so much. I am also a ballet dancer and I encounter the same struggles. When I hear it from you I feel much better!
I work in the dance industry and this is so refreshing! So beautiful to see 🦋✨
Stay positive love youuuuuu ❤️❤️
Hey Luna, I wanted to thank you. In every single way you helped me so much. I used to have an short term eating disorder (bulimia). I was doing it because I was blaming myself for not looking like all the other girls- Instagram models youtubers etc. I came across your channel and you have inspired me so much. You ware the first ballerina (that I’ve seen) that wasn’t looking like a stick while eating nothing(no offense to anyone) and It made me so happy that a beautiful talented and amazing girl that has an amazing body is able to do what she loves without anyone saying she should look like this or that! You do your thing and although you have ups and downs you still don’t give up. It is so inspiring and the fact that you also have break downs too and show it to us is litterateur the best thing because we can see you are a normal person too! After one video I fell in love with you and your videos and decided to just love who I am no matter what size am I or how similar to models do I look! Love you the most and again thank you soo much! You are my biggest inspiration and I am degenerate putting you on my dream board to just get inspired.
Love,
Klaudia
Love your videos so so much! You’re such an inspiration, you never give up💓 sending positive vibes💫
You are just so beautiful for the way you think and for the way you look. I really admire u
You are so hardworking and dedicated! Your dance photoshoot pictures were gorgeous!
i found your Channel through a body hair video and little did I know that you would help me with my performances with my positivity and my extra curricular sports. Let me elaborate, you have been such and inspiration to me, i started dancing 3 years ago and i have always put myself down about ‘oh my hop wasn’t as sharp as hers’ or ‘my bend wasn’t as strong’ but watching your videos has just put such a strong perspective on me and thank you so much for that
I think the best people to look up to are those who are honest and relatable. It makes me feel like I can get through my body dysmorphia and learn to love who I am.
Luna, you are exactly where I was 2 years ago! I am at university now, studying history, not dance! And keeping up with academia as dance through the last years of school was mentally and physically exhausting. Please remember to take time for yourself and remember the only pressure on you is from yourself! We are all rooting for you!💕
I love seeing you dance, you look so beautiful!! 😍
Seriously though, everytime you go into the reasons you’re doing this UA-cam thing you give me such a “proud auntie” moment. You’re so much younger than me, and you bring me back to that time in my life, and let me tell you: girl, you’ll be fine!! You have such a good outlook on life that I’m sure you’ll be great at whatever you set your mind to do.
I’m rewatching a lot of your videos and I found this one so refreshing. I’m about to go back to dancing after literally all summer off and I’ve contemplated a lot whether I wanted to go back or not. Recently I’ve been feeling so bad about my abilities but then I narrowed down that feeling to my old instructor who- in retrospect- has been bullying me, so I’m moving on. thank you for showing all the sides to ballet, this really really did help 💖💖
also totally felt what you said about variations 😓 For my last concert, I did the Golden Vine variation from Sleeping Beauty and I always rehearsed it at a slower tempo but for whatever reason the app that my instructor used to slow down the tempo wasn’t working the day of the show so I went on stage and danced it at full tempo 😬😬 so yeah, I totally felt what you said about variations
before i go to bed i always try to find a video that just makes me feel good so i’m i’m a good mood when i go to bed and i always end up on ur channel crying every night. just thank u for posting this content keep it up we love u 😘
hey luna, i just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏🏼you helped me so much because i'm dancing ballett as well and i thought i'm alone, well i'm not, thank you sooo much❤️You're my idol, stay who you are😍
Your intelligence, wisdom and hard work are so inspiring.
