Allowing just one brand of Pointe shoes isn't just "rude", it's totally unfair and potentially dangerous
I agree, my first pair of pointe shoes where Bloch, they were just wrong for my foot, I tried many other Bloch models for my seconds but none worked so I tried grishko and they fit so much better for me, no I wear grishko 2007✨✨
Exactly! There's six girls in my regular class and there's 3 diff pointe shoe brands among us
My first pair was gamba...all my classmates need to wear those but the crown was too high for me box too wide...it hurts for me to dance with them..good for balancing tho
Exactly! We were are started in Russian Pointe Entrada Pros, then after a year or two we could switch to different models of russian pointe, but once you are in advanced level you can switch
Maybe the teacher or studio is under contract with given brand
Like for part 2 so Claudia can see!💫💕
Jenna Mann my dance school has many rules but everyone loves each other too but if you don’t have rules the class is a mess
our rules are: Always tights and Leo except for hip hop which you have to be in the conservatory to take, hair HAS to be in pulled back in a bun for ballet and rep but other classes u can have tight ponies, no skirts until level 5 and up unless you have to, if you want to have a QUICK conversation between combos u must master the “Art of the whisper”, you have to wear ur black dress code but if you are in the conservatory you have colorful Friday’s and can wear any black Leotard
It’s not strict bc if we didn’t have those rules it wouldn’t be fun and class wouldn’t be the same
Yes part two!!
YES, I got a few I would like to share ... my daughter does calisthenics (Australian dance sport, mix of ballet and gymnastics) and one rule at her previous club was that whenever my daughter placed in solos I wasn’t allowed to post anything on Facebook or tell anybody until the coach had done so first also I wasn’t allowed to show anyone her costume or music before the first competition after that I can share all I want, at her current club I’m not allowed to post any of her solos online at all because the coach is worried about her choreography being copied, I didn’t know about this rule until after I had put one of my daughters competition videos on UA-cam and my coach found it after about 6 months, she was not happy 😅 I was told to remove the video but I just set it to private so I can still go back and watch it
We definitely need a p2
At my studio the most important rule is, “If you are not 15 minutes early, you’re late.” This is especially hard for everyone at my studio who goes to my school cause class starts at 4:30 and school lets out at 4:10. They literally lock the doors at 4:15 and if you show up after they lock the doors you have to do 100 frog jumps.
a benefit of everyone wearing the same colour is that people who are less fortunate don’t feel left out if they can only afford one leotard - rather than seeing everyone else wearing different ones every week because leotards can be kinda expensive
yh, thats why i think uniforms are so good for school aged kids, dont have to worry about children being made fun off because they dont have/cant afford a large variety of fashonable clean clothes
Not just KINDA expensive, I have a uniform that changes every year and they're $50 each. I'm a year 5 abt and I just want to stop paying for leos lol
And if you wear a different color for each level its easy to tell who's who
Class also isn't the time or place to express individuality, and when paying THOUSANDS of dollars a year ($680 per hour in a week...times that by 7 hours, and that's my 10-year-old's tuition), dancers should be there and able to focus, not distracted by looking as Jenny's new leotard or Laura's new headband, and anyone who denies that this happens is, frankly, an idiot. It's naturally to check out the new stuff and to compare. You can nix that my having assigned uniforms. Express your individuality with your warmups. If you can't conform in class, you can't be a willi or a snowflake or anything else where individuals aren't supposed to stay out.
Yh I agree
The whole no tik tok thing might be a child protection thing because at my dance school we aren’t allowed to take videos because there might be other kids in the background and with GDPR and stuff their parents might not give consent for their child’s picture to be on social media and it would be the dance teacher who would come under fire because as soon as we are through the door without our parents we are her responsibility
another thing, people are just in leotards and tights, which might look a bit weird from an outside perspective
@@breea4360 and may look a bit dodge on camera with lighting or filters
Caitlin Burrows yeah, i actually kind of agree with that rule, because a lot of people are out in the corridor making tik toks while people are trying to warm up
breea 43 yeah it can be annoying if you’re trying to work on something and there’s just some girls in the corner doing the renegade for the 800th time😂
I completely understand this rule, it’s not fair for the kids who don’t want their photos on social media but they have to be when people are making tiktoks 🙄
Regarding the drinks, it could also be about protecting the flooring. Spilled water can be dried, but most other drinks will make it sticky.
Yea that was also the explanation that we got for it in the Studio I used to go to
But we weren't even allowed to bring our own water inside the dance room
Insted there was a kettle with water in the room
And we all had to drink from it without touching it with our mouths
So we had to pour it from above and catch it mid air with pur mouth
The first few times everyone spilled water everywhere😂, but then we learned to control it
Same rule I had - particularly because so many little ones had terrible bad artificial juices! Also they would use 'nicer' drinks as an excuse just to drink (and then need the toilets - where as the water they only drank if really wanting it). Also the water is in one place on a large tray never all around or on the floor.
I take class in a professional ballet company's studios and they also don't allow and food or drinks except water in the studio to avoid spills that can damage the dance mats which is very expensive
Also, sugar makes you thirsty, so sweet drinks aren't great for exercising, you'd never feel satisfied.
I totally get why, but that's just not an option for everyone. Growing up I was very hypoglycemic - which meant doing physical activity can trigger my blood sugar to drop like crazy. I would sometimes get extremely dizzy and pass out from this. So, I'm just glad my studio allowed for sugar drinks because I literally would have been ill with only drinking water. I just don't think that's an okay rule to have in a studio because there are people like me who have blood sugar issues. Just wanted to point this out lol
I hate this bodyshaming in some studios :-(
I was literally blocked from a performance group and forbidden to have pointe shoes because the people in charge thought I was fat and had no chance at a career. (I was 5'2" and 100 lbs.) One dance studio later and on to another teacher, I finally got them but only after she had told my mother I would never be able to dance on pointe the week before. One of my teachers at that first studio, who I adored, and was a professional ballet dancer was appalled at their treatment and knew I was more than ready at 11.
Anna Sahlstrom, I’m so sorry that happened to you. It’s horrible how they body shame dancers. For your height, 100 pounds is perfectly normal. So, I don’t see why they had a problem with you going on pointe.
@@annasahlstrom6109 That's just ridiculous. I'm 5'2 and 100 pounds and I'm considered underweight! (according to BMI calculations and my mother lol)
The shaming in this industry is seriously out of control.
@@kitkaty3 That's when I was 11. I would go on to other studios and I gained 35-40 pounds and grew an inch in the next two years. I also feel that once you get to about 15 and you're not apprenticed to a company or a studio ensemble member, they really make it clear you're no longer welcome. My fellow students got younger and younger as I got held back and those my age who weren't on the pro track mostly quit by then.
Ah our teacher said we looked like chubby penguins good thing penguins are cute
I'm a guy so this rule didn't effect me directly but I danced at a studio that had strict rules against certain types of birth control because the director (who was male and literally the biggest a-hole I've ever met, he'd literally cast himself in male leading roles including the prince in Cinderella when the girl playing Cinderella was 14) thought it would make the girls gain weight.
Also, my mom is an OBGYN and she said quite clearly that no form of birth control would make a healthy, active dancer gain weight out of nowhere, you'd still need to overeat to gain weight.
Dear Lord
That guy was a creep
bruh-
That’s really wrong 😳
ugh how gross and misinformed, everyone reacts to different forms of birth control in different ways anyways. Also how would he know what bc girls are taking? Like ask them? that's insanely invasive and none of his business to know if girls are sexually active or not ( and many people who are not sexually active also take bc for health reasons)
I’m like the only dancer in my class who wears tights, a leotard and has my hair in a bun so my studio is kind of chill
Good for you! I was the same way. Professionalism always pays off. 👏🏻
damn, i’m normally the one in a messy ponytail and dirty tights/shoes. maybe it’s because i come straight from school and i have like 10 minutes to change and eat,, my teachers don’t really care
Same. I felt dumb though I shouldn't
Same. We can basically wear whatever we want. (I don’t dance ballet in classical way, but I have ballet technique and modern dance classes.) It‘s chill.
same
her: "hello dancers"
me: a basketball + football player whos here bc this popped up in my reccomendations O.O
armyyy
me too bro
Sameee but I’m an horse rider :D
me a water polo player and eventual roller derby player "why am i here"
Me as a soon to be business student 🤷🏻♀️
When my niece was 12, her dance teacher told the girls no water bottles in class and no asking to leave to get a drink during class. I was FURIOUS. I understood that she wanted to cut down on distractions but my niece is a person who easily dehydrates.
I only found out about this rule when I was waiting for her to come out of class one day and she half passed out in my arms. She knows she needs more hydration than normal and was always good at watching it. So when she told me she had not had anything for over an hour because of the random rule the teacher put in place, I sat her down and had her drink two electrolyte drinks.
And then went over to the teacher and told her exactly what I thought about both the ridiculous rule and her ignoring my 12 year old niece when she tried to tell the teacher she could not safely go that long without replenishing her electrolytes. The director of the school saw my niece barely conscious and heard my “discussion” with the teacher and immediately made a school wide rule that all dancers could have a water bottle in class if they wanted one.
Meanwhile my teachers get mad at us if we don’t drink water 😂😔
even if your niece didnt have the issue that sounds so damn dangrous, you should always have accese to water when your exersizing espically as a child. id be worried if kids were saying they didnt want them
my teachers told us the same since the beginning of our dance lifes! (many years ago) so that kinda made our bodies habituate to the fact of not drinking water unless the class is over, my body took it good but then I saw my friends and some of them were literally dehydrating, that should be a totally no for every dance studio
SO dangerous! A fainting student is much worse than a spill. We Ask they bring a water bottle and offer to help decorate it free if they do, if they don't they still need to go use the water fountain in a few min and come back or we give them a plain bottle, otherwise no class. Staying hydrated is so important for performance and safety! Def learn to shift for performances but to train correctly you need to hydrate. Some of these blow my mind, Great video CD!
It's normal in professional studios to drink water at the end of the class.
Burpees for leaning on the wall/barre. “Does anyone else’s studio have that rule?” IT DOES NOW!! That’s brilliant 😂😂
My poor students won’t know what’s hit them 😂😂
Lmao
Lol
Lmao my old teacher said we can’t lean on the barré coz we aren’t 90
Lucy B when I was training my teacher told us “it’s not that kind of Bar” which is one that I’ve carried into my own classes, but I think burpees would get he point across a bit better 😂
i had a teacher that had us do push-ups for yawning 😂 i loved it.
If a person yawns and the teacher sees it, they have to condition. It sucks when you have to do push ups in pointe shoes. I've learned to yawn with my mouth closed but my eyes water so much people think I'm crying
Edit: wow that's a lot of likes (at least for me)
I'll just try to pretend my mouth is itchy and needed some scratch HAHAHAHA
sameee
I go to a performing arts college, and if we're caught yawning we can get kicked out of class and marked absent, dropping our grade by a letter. The closed mouth yawn is a LIFE SAVER lol
I used to think this was the dumbest rule ever...and then I started teaching lol. SWALLOW YOUR YAWNS!
@@MayaNieberger5213 wow I came from arts college too but our teachers aren't that strict LOL. They understand the scientific reason behind yawning (it's legit exchange of air) just that it doesn't look nice in class so it's either we cover or mouth or hide or or... Suppress it HAHAHA
We get extra sthrechy hairties, because someones riped and got under a girls foot while doing turns and had a domino effect.
The best hair ties are the waist bands off pantyhose, the don't break and they don't move
Some of the best hairties I've ever tried are phone cord ties because they don't slip out of your hair and they absolutely will. Not. Break. Like at all. You can even wrap a ballet bun around them :)
Oh no!
Should I feel bad for laughing? 😂
No offence but why does that sound funny?
The no TikTok is maybe if someone’s parents doesn’t want there children on society media
Yeah that makes sense
that's between the parent and the child.
Social media*
@@anika5094 Not if the Tik Tok is taken in the lobby and captures kids in the background. (We're survivors of domestic violence/stalking and that's a big deal.)
Back before TikTok, my studio had a rule where none of our comp Vids or recitals ever went on the internet. It was because there were young children dressed in significantly less than they would in public, and they wanted to protect us from creepers online. Could be the direction that studios coming from
Claudia: I think it would be really boring having to wear black all the time
Me: *has had to wear black leotard and pink tights for 6 years*
hannah Kirkpatrick lol same
Freyja O'Halloran my studio kinda does that but the littles wear pink, then black, when you go en pointe you wear royal blue, then navy blue, and then red your last years
We get to wear blue but it is still only this one exact leotard. It's also pink tights and no skirts
I completely understand the black clothing only rule. Theoretically it should cut down on jealousy and bullying.
Well we have a uniform but it is different color for every level. So like the whole class wears light blue. Then if u move up u have dark purple. So like that is fine but I think I would get tired of black if I had to wear it for 11 years.
@@nishaarora5818 we have something similar too, you start with baby pink and it progessively gets darker until the very senior classes wear black and they can have a bit more freedom with styles
Yes - uniform is professional and cuts down on those more interested in what they are wearing, and is good for those who can't afford lots of different dance wear each week!!!! You will find studios that don't care are either unprofessional, unqualified (did the same where ever they learnt to 'dance', ) or are teachers selling dance wear earning a huge profit on them - if they had a basic uniform, they couldn't sell loads. Only the dance teacher knows what is suitable for the style and level of the dance school.
I kind of disagree on this one. I didn't do ballet, but in school uniform was mandatory from 1st grade to the last one and even tho we all had the same uniform it was sold at the school so everyone had the same material and all, you can still notice who had an old one or a new one, or who had more money or less and let me tell you... Bullying beacuse of appearance or wealth didn't stop, it still happened. The positive side for me was that I didn't have to worry about what I was going to wear for school and save a lot of money on buying clothes regularly, but other than that didn't see any type of benefit and like I say bullying happened either way
My studio is all black but it’s just because of uniform so no girls stand out without reason
Cleaning the studio makes perfect sense to me. It teaches kids respect and responsibility for the space they work in.
My teacher had a rule that we weren’t allowed to say “I can’t.” She always wanted us to try even if the combo looked impossible, and she wanted to help us grow confidence. If you said it, you had to do push-ups. The only issue I had with this came after I was returning to ballet from ACL reconstruction, and my passé literally wouldn’t go any higher than my calf...😂
We had this rule too!😂 If we said I can't we had to do 10 push ups and then each time we did it we had to add another ten on. We learned our way around it like I am physically unable to do this 😂
We had to say "i currently am not able" and then say we would try it or were working on it😂
We have this rule too! I hope your knee gets better!
We have that aswell 🤣🤣
YES!!! NO SAYING I CANT
I took one of my colleagues to an adults' jazz class, and he asked if he can bring water in. I first didn't even understand the question, then he expalined that as a child he used to attend a dance studio where they weren't allowed to bring even water in, to 'respect' the studio. To me this sounds ridiculous, like you are doing physical exercise, you need to drink water.
My studio was the same. We were only allowed to drink water after the barre and before the center. It can be a distraction. Also, unnecessary to drink water during exercise.
That's so bizarre. My teacher won't even let us in the room if we don't have a water bottle or a cup of water. It's SO important to take tiny sips of water (not too much) once you've gotten warmed up after barre and are jumping around and getting overheated and sweating.
We have a studio cleaning rule too! It teaches the dancers to treat the space with respect, because they know if they make a mess (leave garbage around, spill things, or put handprints on the mirror), they have to clean it up.
Yeah same, but it is only for company members wich try oy and have to be 10. Every quarter we have a new hob. Im completely fine with it.
We are mainly cleaning after kids
In Japan students cleaning studios and school is normal!
it sure is
Im in Europe and we do that in my studio too!
It’s a way to show respect for the space. Done this way cleaning the space isn’t for the “bad” kids as a form of discipline, this is expected of everyone at the end of their class.
It can also be the parents are getting a better rate for the classes if they/kids have to clean.
My friend's gymnastics school does this. You get 30% off lessons if mom/kid signs up for tidying duties.
We all take part in cleaning the studio at the end of the week. Wiping mirrors, picking up and dumping out water bottles, take out the trash, wipe down mats, disinfect barres, door handles, and light switches, also we organize our dancer den (where we keep our dance bags, etc) and if there is clothes that nobody is claiming, we put them in the lost and found.
omg the one with a specific height and weight I cannot believe...That one is discrimination in my opinion and makes me wonder. Every kid should have the chance to do ballet. This sort of selection is only kind of ok when it comes to a higher education or dance company when they search a certain type of a dancer. But NOT in the Hobby section. And what crap is this period thing 🙄 oh maaaan
I KNOW!! RIDICULOUS!
I don't think its ever ok (im kinda short) bc it's telling dancers they're not good enough the way they are
Kenne deinen Shop.
@@dianafelizia6141 Entschuldigung, was meinst du?
norah xu I said that I know the shop of Hanna schlau
Around recital time my studio started doing “hair quarters” where if someone touched their hair or leotard while music was playing they had to pay a quarter to the teacher (she donated the proceeds at the end of the season)
before my teacher banned tik tok there were some girls who would in breaks be constantly filming dances and filming people who dont want to be filmed so its a big distraction and its irratating while your trying to have a break or when your warming up
Surely the 'audition to take the exam' one is just to make the teacher look better. If they have veto power on someone taking an exam when they think they aren't ready, they can artificially give themselves the ability to say '100% high pass rate' which makes their studio look better than one that lets everyone take exams when they might not do as well.
Absolutely! Though as a teacher I will encourage a student to wait another term to take an exam if I don't think they are ready for it. I think the exam should be a pleasant experience for a student. So if I feel the student is not likely to pass, I'll tell them they'll feel more confident if they work for another term before taking it. And given that exams are expensive, they usually agree to wait.
yeah probably. also im pretty sure in RAD you have to pass intermediate at least to do all the levels above so they’d have to start at least intermediate anyways lol
I live in Japan and I feel like many studios here make the students clean the studio😂 my studio makes the oldest class clean it too! I used to think that it was normal to clean the spaces we used as part of the “discipline” so I was very surprised by your reaction! It’s fun to see how people think differently in different cultures✨
I happen to think it's a great idea. If the students have to clean, they're less likely to make the messes in the first place.
When I took dance I wasn’t aloud allowed to yawn, because it was “rude” 👁👄👁
I was told the same thing when I took dance a few years back. It was my first class and it wasn't the best impression. I sorta strayed from dance until I was thirteen since then. Plus I was ten at the time and my class was late at night😞🙄
I would quit then cuz i ain’t letting no one control meh life cuz imma yawn whenever i want
Me 2 so I transfered
When I’m doing any sport I do that I can’t stop it😂 it’s something about your body controlling temperature (?)or something like that
omg same! there's a boy in my class who never stops lol
Part 2!! I went to ballet school eons ago. I had a specific rule that we weren’t allowed to eat Chinese food in the waiting area...I think once someone spilled something. Still very odd
just Chinese food??? if so thats definitely odd! we’re only allowed to eat at the eating area at my studio.
At my studio if u do a saut de chat instead of a grand jete u have to go back to the corner with your head down and do it again 😂😂
Yeah my teacher yells at us and makes us do it again.
jntbleger 😂😂😂
About the all-black outfit I remember someone told me their school says that they first need to learn to express themselves through their body movements only, without distractions from the outfits.
The rule about only having Bloch pointe shoes reminded me of the studio I danced at when I was young.
At one point, they started selling dance clothes, and slowly started forcing everyone to wear the clothes and accessories that they were selling.
This eventually extended into pointe shoes, where you had to be wearing one of the three styles they sold. I thought this was not only unfair, but also dangerous. I ended up transferring schools about a year before I would have gone on pointe.
same!! my dance studio’s uniform is all from the the studio shop and they make everyone buy ballet shoes and EVERYONE has to get full sole including seniors. This goes all the way to the hair net we use - when we’re stretching our coaches would walk around the room to make sure we were all using the ‘standard uniform’ from the studio shop. i later found out that the leotard and stockings from the studio shop were TWICE the price if i had bought it from the original store. 😔😔😔
Yesssss U should definitely do a part 2!!!! 😍😍😍 I LOVE this 😍
my studio has this rule ; no bun , no dance. even if you have the proper attire on , you can't dance if your hair is not in a bun
At my studio: “No sleeping in the lobby.” Once a parent took a nap on one of the benches in the lobby... very awkward situation for the receptionist to have to deal with.
I had a parent that would fall asleep every class and snore so loud we could hear it in the studio!😂😂
What’s so awkward about it? Just wake someone up. My father would fall asleep all the time watching us do all sorts of activities from swimming to dance. It’s kind of boring to watch but when the kids are young it’s too short to go home in between.
it’s disrespectful lmao
Imo, the "only water" rule can be dangerous. I'm not a dancer, but when I was seriously playing tennis, I was doing so for 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. Electrolytes are SUPER IMPORTANT for recovery as well as giving you a little boost of sugar so you don't go hypoglycemic. The salts are important also to prevent cramping and injury so I'd have to wholeheartedly disagree with that rule (unless if they were specifically talking about sodas and whatnot)
Were you playing tennis on a studio floor where spilling drinks with sugars in them requires more clean-up than a quick wipe?
Those drinks can leave sticky spots on the floor. Not so bad around the wall, but if someone is coming in after the baby class, and somoeone spilled drops in the middle, and someone's foot sticks mid pirouette, it can cause major issues. Electrolyte drinks are allowed by most schools in the waiting area between classes, but not during class.
wow!! I’ve never been early before! Just want to say, Claudia Dean you have helped me so much on my dance journey❤️💗❤️ Great video!
"hello dancers"
me in music and volleyball: howdy
heres a rule at my studio: if you forgot a combo you have to go across the street to the starbucks and buy a the teacher a coffee. like actually.
That’s intense!
If that was a rule at my studio I would be broke
Holy crap really?
@@melindawang8568 yeah but the company buys you lunch sometimes during nutcracker rehearsal
I'd be broke. Immediately.
All black leotard pink tights and only water, hair doesn't matter.
Love this, part 2 please!!🥺❤️
my studio doesn’t allow scrunchies 😂 and no patterned leotards
Omg the ducks one got me! 🤣
Absolutely love this!! We love you miss Claudia xx
This video was so entertaining, I could have watched it for hours😂😂 This really made my day😂☺️
So relatable 😂
Some of these are so confusing 😂
We also had to wear leotards in the same colour as a class. Every year we got to choose a colour and print of those leotards.. only thing it took was an agreement. So you can imagine that bunch of girls, every single one of them with different favourite colours and prints, never settled on anything. Every year we ended up with plane black or white leotard because that was the only non-offensive option that we could agree on 😂🤦🏻♀️
(One year we almost chose sky blue ones however one ginger girl convinced us that she would look like an idiot in a sky blue so we wore black again)
Ginger here! We don't look like idiots in sky blue, red and blue are actually on opposite sides of the colour spectrum meaning that they go well together.
@@iainatrolli1036 Yeah, I agree. Especially if the girl has blue eyes, blue clothing highlights them even more and its top notch. However this one was so passionate about it so we were like "sure, if you feel awful in blue, we will wear black again" :D
how many leotards did you own?!? honestly it sounds like a waste of money..
i wish my studio would do that. we all wear black leotards with pink tights and skirts. depending on your year you have a different colored skirt mine is black though and it’s kinda boring like there’s sky blue, pink, maroon, red, purple and we chose black??
Omg I can just imagine how beautiful the ginger would look in sky blue 😱
This video gave me so much serotonin , idk why but you make me so very happy I have auditions in a few days and this just makes me smile. I miss my dance family so much and this was very comforting.
I remember when I was about 8, my studio told us that if we missed two lessons we were out of the concert. I'm sure they didn't want kids to miss important corrections, but we had our dances done a good month before the stage, and kids need to be re-told anyway lol. A bit extreme, considering how special concerts are for children
That duck one tho 😂
(Also need a part 2)
HAHAHAHA
Claudia Dean World definitely
LOL suggested video off this for me is a TED talk: "I grew up in a cult. It was heaven -- and hell." 😳🙈
That's a great video though. That cult is still practicing.
These were great!! I remember my school (we're talking over 20 years ago here) had a strict dress code and hair. Also the blue eye shadow made me laugh so much!!!
A teacher should know when a dancer shouldn't go into an exam, but they should definitely be allowed to take the class!
I tried to do a teaching qualification coming from a school with an unqualified teacher and I just wasn't up to par with the other dancers because of that. My teacher actually let me do the course again so I'd pass my exam. We shouldn't discriminate, we should rise to the occasion and help students achieve their dreams!
Some of these are crazy though xD
I hate that dancers have to be a certain height, that one has been a real problem for me back in the day- not fair!!
I’m hoping it’s better now??
Love you Claudia❣️ tell it how you feel it,
Always love to hear your opinions🩰
A lot of asian schools have the students clean their classrooms. It helps to teach respect for the space you spend a lot of time in, so you don't make/leave it dirty. It also teaches responsibility for your space and so the students don't litter and vandalize the space. There is still a maintenance staff for difficult stuff and heavy-duty cleaning, but the students are expected to sweep, dust, and wipe the board and surfaces.
Hii I love you so much it brightens up my day every time you post! 💕
Some of those rules were hilarious 🤣 please do a part 2!
The Owen Wilson ‘Wow’s’ & the old lady pic😂👌🏼
If we said the word "Can't" we do 5 push ups and everytime we say it again, we add 5 more
Lol😂🤣
5? mine does anywhere from 20-30 if someone says “can’t”
i was thinking my studio had the same and then i realized we go to the same studio 😂
@@makaylaslade6216 cool
just say 'unable to can' 🧚♀️
i loved that! some of those were so random haha! i would love to see a part two :)
Please do a part 2! This was great!
If we said “I can’t” we’d have to do 35 push-ups! (not sure why 35!)
At my dande school we have to pay 25 cents.
It depended on which class we were in but essentially the same. I can’t involved some from of punishment.
The I cant rule starts in primary ballet (about 7 and 8 year olds I think) and goes to until advanced classes.
Yes, in one of my old studios, (I don’t go there anymore), almost all the little kids would show up in either street clothes or hair down/not in buns or weird leotards and stuff. And the teacher never even cared. It was weird.
the studio i’m going to soon is pretty chill i think w dress code. it just has to be a solid leo but it can be any color or style! and jazz and contemporary is wear whatever you want!! i’m so excited
This is so different, funny, and entertaining!! XD Please consider doing a part 2 lol
My school is so cool! After this video I realized that even though we have a lot of rules we are actually free. I'm in the adult class and the teacher just wants us to be CLEAN NOT SMELLY and wear our hair in a chignon if it is long enough or in a ponytail. The children and teens that actually study and can have a future like dancers, have to be in uniform. They want everybody to be disciplined and I think it's correct. The only thing I don't like is that the adults don't have the option of the exams. If the majority doesn't want to do the exams or take part at the show we do every year then nobody does. I took the exam for the 4 grade RAD four years ago because all of the girls wanted to. We were such a beautiful class. Some girls and myself took the exams because we wanted to test our progress and some just because they wanted to do something all together. We were taking part in every show just to be together and have fan dancing and preparing and wearing costumes. We were so close. Now the class is a little different and I really miss that. I would like to be able to take exams and do the show. Because I really want to learn even though I have no future as a dancer. I am 35. We used to say "friends that dance together stay together". Now most of my old classmates don't come to class anymore but we are still friends and we see each other when we can.
DO MORE OF THESE OMG I LOVED IT HAHAAHHA❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂
My eyes just keep being drawn to the blue and white leo and skirt absolutely beautiful 😍😍
love the new editing style💜💜
I’m early yay! Love this so much!
Omg I remember having to wear blue/purple/teal eyeshadow at an old studio of mine
the duck one was really funny omg and would really loooove to see a part 2
Omg. This was amazing. Please do more vids like this xxx
it's not really a rule but: my teacher weigh us like every month and she is very angry if someone is over 110 pounds...
(sorry for my English it's not my first language lol)
That's terrible:( That's such a toxic thing to do towards the students...
@@briellemklaver yeah that's gross. :(
That's terrible!
same i’m in rhythmic gymnastics
That’s horrible!
This is the dress code at my studio-
Ballet/Pointe: Black Leotard, Black skirt or jazz shorts , Pink Tights , Pink shoes
Jazz/Tap: Black Leotard , Black skirt or jazz shorts , Tan tights , Black shoes
Lyrical/Contemporary: Black Leotard , Black jazz shorts , tan tights , tan shoes (for lyrical)
You have to wear tights and leotards for jazz and contemp!?
Do you have to go and change your tights in a day then for ballet then jazz?
Linda Nelson same thing for me!
Every part of this video is so relatable!!
Omg I love you soo much. I think that your collections are absolutely beautiful. Xxx
When I danced we had to do 10 pushups if we leaned on the barre, or were slouching. And we couldn’t wear jewelry or nail polish
I like that
Fingernail polish? What does that have to do with anything
@@maraburton2629 I think it's because it could be a distraction for the other students, and it can disrupt the uniformity if the class
@@nomibrooklyn5304 I don't really get that one, tho. like, when you dance, be it competitions or performances for the darlings from classical, you wear a lot of different hairstyles or colours and types of clothes, or even nailpolish. how are you supposed to dance onstage in ponytails if you danced in buns your whole life? sure, they do fall in your eyes like all the time (which makes me dance in a bun 70 % of the time) but thats exactly why it should be allowed - get used to it, it won't be a distraction after like a month. And when it comes to nails, they can be troublesome if long, but the color? really?
Agnieszka those are Nonsens rules literally nobody understands but also nobody changes them because some white old people will claim „it was always like that and it’s unprofessional if we change the rules“. For example, if you compete in gymnastics you’re not allowed to wear Make-up or nail polish for the same reasons. It could distract. Meanwhile one gotta wear a leotard without tights, so the ass is completely presented. Wearing short, tight pants is forbidden in the women category. Men are allowed to cover the butt. Like wtf?
When I was on the dance team at university I remember turning up to the first class wearing my leotard and ballet tights and everyone else was just wearing regular gym clothes, it was kind of embarrassing hahaha 😅
❤❤❤ Some of these rules were shocking!
At my old dance school we had to wear full sole leather ballet shoes, and had to wear pink tights, as well as only wearing the PW dancewear, unless pointe shoes
Please a part 2!!! I want to see more!
when i used to dance, my studio had a rule where we couldn’t sneeze in class, so i taught myself how to sneeze silently.
That's hard! We weren't allowed to yawn.
I didn't think the dress code was strict when I was in dance, but after hearing some of these rules, I'm a little shocked! Ballet was always black leo, pink tights, pink shoes. Every other discipline was black leo, beige tights, beige/black shoes. Hair needed to be in a bun. No skirts/tutus. No drinks other than water anywhere in the studio, no exceptions (parents found ways of smuggling coffee in, though!). Competition make up were the exact same colours for everyone (we were provided brand names and colour names): light and dark purple eye shadow, hot pink blush, eyelashes, mauve lipstick. We also had to clean the studio (waiting rooms and bathrooms included) as a way to teach ownership and respect of the space.
do a part 2 i really enjoyed this !!!!!
We need a part 2!
In regards to the dress code rule, I personally like having an all black dress code. To me, the studio isn't a place to express your individuality, it's a place to learn technique and refinement. The expression of individuality should come later, for more experienced dancers, during performances or competitions, or during "open" classes.
I totally agree! In my studio, all students who dance in the school are to wear black leo's with wrap skirts and tights. However, when you get into the professional performing company, then you are allowed to wear coloured leos/funky designs. I love some coloured leos I own but paid my due diligence in the company as a student and wore all black as I worked my way up the ranks.
"To me, the studio isn't a place to express your individuality, it's a place to learn technique and refinement." And this crap would make me hate dance.
Exactly. I'm disturbed that Claudia is considered a professional when she doesn't understand this. Does she really let younger kids wear whatever they want and make TikToks while in the studio? Not okay.
@@katepausig8562 Then dancing isn't for you. In ballet, improper technique literally results in major injuries, and it's not just a remote chance of injury. Even among professionals, injuries are still common. Most dancers will suffer at least one injury. It's a literal safety issue to learn proper technique and refinement, and it cuts back on the severity and frequency of injuries. If you don't want to do that, then don't bother dancing.

I agree with this, but what does this have to do with wearing black leotards?
One can just as easily wear something comfortable and learn the same technique.
At my dance studio, so long as nothing is prohibiting movement, any uniform is allowed.
There are students who come in wearing a black leotard and skin colored tights, and others come in wearing a crop top and dance shorts.
Everyone performs equally as well, regardless of what they’re wearing. Why take away the right of a student to wear what they wish? If it doesn’t distract from learning proper technique and skills, then it shouldn’t matter.
Hi there! I’m 12 and I really want to start ballet! I’m not flexible so I’ve been watching your videos and they help me a lot!😁
What your mouth says, your ears hear, and your heart believes. Your are not as flexible as you want to be YET. Or you are working on flexbility. Keep trying!
We need a part 2!!
Plz do a part 2 this was hilarious 🤣
Her: "Hello Dancers!"
Me, a horseback rider who is watching this because it was on my FYP
Maybe it’s because horses are basically walking around on pointe all the time? 🤣 (also an equestrian )
At my studio, if we're more than 10-15 minutes late to hip-hop class, we have to do 10 extra push-ups than everyone else. So if we did 15 for everyone but someone is late, they have to do 25 depending on how late they were.
Part 2 please i could watch this all day! At my studio if we are in the Competition team we have to wear back
Wait really? At my studio if you were comp they added a bunch of classes/rehearsals and for those ones the dress codes were way more relaxed. I was able to wear the same outfit across several styles, instead of switching from Leo to crop top/jazz shorts to leggings and a t shirt for ballet, jazz, and contemporary
I love your videos!
I understand the whole idea of the class wearing all black and being uniformed, but I love how my new teacher has done it. We can wear whatever dance attire we want, as long as it is a neutral or studio color.
I felt this 😅
PART TWO PLEASE!!!!!
Hiiiii Claudia! Love your channel! 💙
Dancer and also former dance store manager here. I got to see some WEIRD rules. A lot of studios would colour coordinate their levels like you mentioned at the Royal Ballet. A lot of studios only allowed a certain pointe shoe pad which blows my mind as someone who used to like McGuyver my own from three different kinds. There was this one RED lipstick that a company used for recital I remember parents coming in for and it was like heinous. Dance makeup used to be an honest nightmare, neutrals are DEFINITELY better, just accentuate the dancers natural features so the stage lights don't make them a ghost haha
I figure skated for 20 years and I was only allowed to wear skates from one company (until I became an adult and was like nah) like the girl who mentioned pointe shoes from Bloch. It actually caused me ankle problems and now that I'm in a skates that actually fit me I'm essentially retraining my bones. I used to fit pointe for Boston Ballet and Walnut Hill students and the idea of only using one brand makes me want to scream. Some girls took me 3-4 HOURS to fit and we tried many many brands to make sure the shoe was perfect.
Babies definitely need full sole but the fact that ballet shoe companies even make full sole in adult sizes is wild to me. Absolutely not.
We have to wear all black spaghetti strap leotards with no extra straps or lace and only high buns. Except for one day a week😂.
i hate having my hair in a high bun! only low for me 😂 plus we all know i only ever do my hair in the car on the way to the studio, and low buns are so much quicker 🤣💕
@@irisdevine Me too, but we are kicked out of class to redo our hair if it is wrong😂 I really wish we could do low buns so my hair could have a good hair day every day
Damn man- my studio was pretty intense but we only had the black leo(any cut), pink tights, and hair in some sort of updo rules
@@ohnoimsam9634 Yeah it isnt really enforced as much as it used to be so we can get away with some different stuff
Also at my studio that I do tap at we have to wear blue eyeshadow, red dots in the corner of our eyes, lots of blush and lipstick for our show. And we have to bring a box with all our costumes and lots of food and we stay all day ( this is only once a year)
we have to wear leo’s and tights at my studio but they’re pretty lenient with what we wear which is nice because we all get to wear whatever colors and styles we like
