I fell like whenever I get discouraged from practicing ballet at home (I cant afford all my classes) I watch your videos and it makes me feel better and motivated to dance.😊
whattt you’re literally so sweet 😭 it makes me so happy to know that I’m able to help someone out there because I have definitely struggled with motivation. but I admire you for working and furthering your training despite not being able to go to many classes. with that motivation, I KNOW you will go far, and I applaud you. love you! ❤️
Getting major déjà vu thinking back to around this time last year when I first discovered your channel, then we talked on insta and the rest is history….can’t wait to see you in a few weeks! Miss dancing with you so much 🩰✨💕
heyy!! I think we have a similar case on the injury lol. Since the first days of March, I felt little pain on my left hip when I took class or even walking, but I thought it was something normal and that the pain would not last long. Well the pain didn't go lmao. So starting June I felt even more pain, and that´s when my teacher told me to check what I had with a traumatologist. We went with a traumatologist and he decided to take an MRI to see what happened. It wasn't enough, therefore I had 2 MRI and 1 arthro resonance (in which they inject in the area a type of liquid contrast to clearly see if something is broken). After all the studies, the traumatologist thought it was a labrum tear, and that I probably needed surgery, but he said he didn't want to make surgery because of my age (I am 15). So he left it like that and told me to take a break from ballet or any kind of exercise for two months and rehabilitation. It was difficult for me to take a break, because ballet/exercise was the one thing that kept me distracted from the stress of school and everything. I cried many nights feeling guilty about my injury. After rehabilitation we went with another traumatologist (just to have another opinion). He saw all my studies and said that it wasn't a labrum tear, and that it was probably a muscle inflamation. He gave me a medicine to take for 15 days, and also a vaccine. I can tell that it helped me even more than rehabilitation. Last week I went again with him and he told me that I could start this week with physical conditioning, and next week I can take my ballet classes again!! Obviously he told me to start little by little, and if I don't have any pain in this first month, I can continue as I did next month. When he told me this I was dying of happiness. Then I saw your video and I thought it´s kind of similar what´s happening because they also didn't know what really happened to me lol. I hope I was able to make you understand this, I am Mexican so I ´m still learning to write in english.
HOPE YOU SEE THIS COMMENT 😁💚 Hey Rianna. Just wanna say that I love your videos and your energy, I’ve been struggling with ballet and body image lately and every time I see one of your videos I immediately feel encouraged to keep going. Also... when you said “I’m also currently struggling with a hip injury” (2:05) I started crying (I thought I was the only one 😭😭😭) Side note... When I did my MRI, they had to rotate by hip (as if I was doing a passé lying on my back) cuz they couldn’t find the injury (on the labrum). Only by rotating it was visible. Just putting it out there for options but obviously always talk to your doctors, they know what’s best for you. 💚 Absolutely love your videos, your energy, your way of reflecting about yourself and sharing your experience 🥰😍😍😍😍 has helped a lot!!!! Take care!! Love from Mexico 🇲🇽 P.S. my mom watches your videos with me so it’s mom approved ✅😂💜💚💜💚🩰
AWW you are so incredibly sweet!! I’m so honored that your mom even watches my vids, that’s so cute, thank you both of you 😭❤️ I’m so sorry to hear you are struggling a little bit. I struggled with body image and confidence in the past, and I STILL struggle with it today, but I am mentally tougher now. Healing is never linear and there will always be ups and downs, but down the line you WILL become stronger and you mindset will change for the better. It just takes time ❤️ It took me a while to realize this, but dancers are almost never alone when it comes to injuries! It’s just a part of what we do, and we always provide support to one another when another injury comes along. Thank you for letting me know about you MRI experience! I have another appointment soon and I want to talk to my PT about possibly getting another MRI. Thank you SO much for your support ❤️ It makes me so happy and I appreciate it so much. I’m so grateful to have viewers from Mexico!!
Hey Ri, not going to lie I’ve been so behind on your videos :( but I do need some advice. I hyperextended my knee and I was told to not put any excessive pressure/weight on it if I could avoid meaning no dance. I’ve been off of pointe for a while and I had my first class back tonight and I couldn’t even go up on pointe on my left leg (the hyperextended one) I didn’t think it would make me lose all my strength but it did. Any tips? If you have any strengthening exercises pleaseeee give me your routine 😂
Hi there ! Just wanna thank you bc saw ur vid and feel like doing my exercises for the abs and core and I havent done it in weeks! Like im lazy but u inspire me and I did it while watching you!ty
AWW this makes me so happy 🥺❤️ I’m so glad I was able to give you some motivation because I DEFINITELY struggle with it all the time. thank YOU for inspiring me to keep making videos.
Aw thank you so much Janai!! I’m glad that motivated you haha, but I’m in no way a perfect example of a healthy eater. I always fall off the rails when it comes to that 💀 lolll but everything is just fine in moderation, no need to restrict ❤️
This is rly motivating ❤️ lol I’m usually rly lazy and I don’t want to do anything. I love your videos! Also I started my yt channel again lol yay! I’m sry about ur injury :/ I hope ur ok! ❤️ miss u!
Hey Yam! aww I’m so glad you were able to find it motivating 🥺❤️ it means a lot. it’s okay to feel lazy sometimes! we all deserve to be happy and to rest. I’m so happy to hear that you started your channel again, and thank you for the well wishes on my hip injury. miss you too!!
hi Rianna! i have some sad news. my ballet teacher informed me that she will no longer be teaching at my studio. im so devastated because she chose me to be on pointe and I have start my journey without her. she reached out to my mom, and said that she would love to keep teaching me. i’ve been so down recently, thank you for posting. have an amazing day
I’m so sorry to hear about that!! I know exactly how you feel as I have lost a couple teachers throughout my career who truly meant a lot to me. But I’m so happy to hear that she would like to keep teaching you! maybe she could give you a couple privates which will help you excel in your ballet training. That would be wonderful for you! I’m glad my videos were able to help you during this time. Thank YOU for watching, all the best always ❤️❤️
aww this is a great idea 🥺 I’ve gotten a couple of requests to do live stream classes, but tbh, I’ve never taught a ballet class! so I don’t know how good I would be at it haha, but we’ll see. thank you for the idea 😊
When I got my original MRI it didn't show anything, but have them do an MRI with contrast (they will inject ink into your cartilege) girl not trying to terrify you, but I had a labral tear and ended up having to get a periacetabular osteotomy, which was a huge hip surgery. I had to relearn how to walk and am only now getting back to dancing 9 months later... Maybe your body is trying to tell you something and you need to listen. I think getting this many injuries so young is not going to be great for a career. I know this isn't great to hear, but it's something to think about.
I’ve gotten a brain mri with contrast because ✨mental illness✨ hahaha but it definitely was helpful in making sure nothing was structurally wrong! Contrast feels super weird though just a warning (if Rianna is reading this) lol it makes you feel like you’re peeing Btw so sorry to hear that but glad you’re getting back into dance!
@@chiara4243 Wow a brain MRI with contrast!!! That sounds intense. For me, it didn't feel like I was peeing it just hurt because they put the needle soo deep into the hip joint. I just felt a lot of pressure in my hip.
Thank you so much for letting me know about your experience ❤️ I have another appointment soon with my PT and I want to see what she thinks about getting another MRI with contrast. It will be extremely hard for me to find out if I have an actual hip injury, but it’s better to know and to treat it than to let it get worse and end my career permanently. Thank you!!
whoaa you are so strong!! I don’t know if I could handle a brain mri, I already have so much anxiety with it just being my lower half. thank you for letting me know though about the contrast haha 🤣😅
@@RiannaTalento hahaha it was weirdly chill though... hahaha the first one I can’t remember too well bc I was 12 but I was about 15 for the second one and I remember they had this headset/glasses that would play movies so I was just in there watching Ratatouille 😂

@@RiannaTalento cool! i have been trying to figure out what kind to get but it is all very confusing. i will try these. do you have any tips on how to choose the right size for your foot? i just don't have a reference point and it is, yes, very confusing. thanks Rianna you are the best :D

Hi Rianna, 😁how is your ankle now? Was surgery a good idea as I’m in a similar situation to you and not sure wether to go through with it…
5:16 me when there’s a lizard sighting despite being a full grown adult (have a phobia of lizards) 🙃
LOLLL I feel you!! it’s the worst when I’m living alone and I can’t get my parents to get the scary bugs for me 😩 that’s when I phone a friend 🤣
Just a quick idea but maybe when you have your winter break you can do zoom classes? I’d love to join :)
