    For crying out loud, a normal childhood is overrated at best and doesn't exist at worst. You're doing something EXTRAORDINARY with your lives!!!

      Linda Harrison great comment, so true. I was so bored all the time and LONGED to be at work with something productive!

      I agree. I rather be a prodigy than just sit behind a tv watching shows and go to school.

    Sara Means (and all of the others too) is very far from being anything like boring. Insanely dedicated, in need of commitment therefore, perhaps; boring: never!

    This series is fantastic! Thank you so much for putting these out and sharing the lives of the dancers.

    When you sacrifice your childhood for a dream job like this you gotta have support especially as child turning into a teenager to offset some of the insecurities and doubt you naturally have. It's only then when your pushing your self you learn not just what people learn at 30 but how to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally. Being exposed to that type of emotional and mental strength from a young age gives them something to emulate and the physical aspects come with however much you train. You are only as good as your last show

    I totally agree, I started at four and now I'm eleven. I can't do any other sports clubs, I don't do sleepovers and everyday after school I do dance.

      Yes but you're lucky that you started that early because I am 14 years old now and suddenly with 13 I decided to be a Dancer and that dancing is my passion and life but now I don't have a any chance anymore

      its never too late. i once met someone who started in college, and hes still in college, but guess what, hes on broadway... its never too late.

    This is so true. While my friends are all FaceTiming, going to theme parks, etc, I’m in the studio,. I have to give up these things as a young ballerina, but I feel like all of this is worth it.

    TBH I wouldn't mind if I had found my passion for dance earlier and not had a childhood.
    I have a tendency to mostly remember bad stuff, none of the things I did outside school I felt passion for and a lot of childhood memories I just can't remember anymore. Maybe I wouldn't have even gotten Lyme disease, because I would have been in the studio instead of places where ticks are like woods and around animals...
    Believe me passion is worth way more than normal childhood. If you love what you are doing, you are doing the right thing. Doesn't matter if it isn't what normal people or children do and experience

    This is so true. I started ballet when I was three and now I'm 13. I can't do sports clubs, I can't do sleepovers, I can't play games on the computer for more than a half hour. But I love dance. It is my passion.

    Even 40 plus years ago, kids started very early in life...3 or 4..however it has always been said...there are some that arrive to perfection early because they trained early and some have the capacity to arrive at that perfection in their early teenage years...without giving up a lot...because more training means more injuries...and if you can't remember or recall easily then perhaps none of the process of a rehersal injury is worth the while because injuries cost a whole lot more...and outweight the benefits. No old in ballet is actually late 30's....I guess it depends on the injuries... I think the jumps are ruled out after mid 20's...what do I know... Arent the dances rated by level of difficulties and maneuvers for the dancers sake...and fit to their age range and parameter and fitness and prior injuries...which should be not many...

    I felt like they were describing my life, growing up as a gay man/boy. Having to prove myself everyday, being picked up, giving up things I wish I could do, no friends, no social life...
    But in the end it turn out that all these things have built the man I am now. Just like them.

      Basically, you love all of them. Or did you just want to show, that you know all of their first and last names? At least you left Chase Finlay out, that pig.

    They do not give up personal social life. Martin resigned or retired not gracefully and here is a law suit against ny city ballet at this time.

    • @balletcrazy16
      @balletcrazy16 10 років тому +4

      If that is the case, it's really sad. She gave up her childhood and so many other things in life for something she eventually didn't want. :/

    • @PoisonedApathy
      @PoisonedApathy 9 років тому +29

      I think she's just reflecting on stuff. I mean, i've seen her dance and she always seems to be having a blast. Also, i've read interviews with her and watch her vlogs and she seems so passionate about it.

    • @amandalee9176

    • @notes129
      @notes129 8 років тому

      Alix Androvna Hopefully that is the case. Its just that in all the videos I watched of her, I felt no passion from her (words). Dancing wise, of course very BEAUTIFUL. But to me, the character and energy of a dancer always reflects in their performance.

    • @MotionPictureMuse
      @MotionPictureMuse 8 років тому +14

      On the contrary, I think her musings on the sacrifices she's had to make for a ballet career only emphasize how much she loves it. Have you seen other interviews with her? She states more explicitly how there's nothing she'd rather be doing.

    I love how mothers are whining that they can’t do ballet as good. Well you did that to yourself.
