    As a theatre kid, I got anxiety hearing all your friends talk so loudly and freely backstage. 😂

      I mean it's not like you can scream but the music is very loud on a dance recital and it makes for half of our communicating medium with the audience. but I understand what you mean, when you have to care for the resonance of your cast mates's voices or about being mic'ed the whole time 😂😂😂 standing on the wings right before entering a tap number is a nightmare lol

      Once, I was like this, too. But then I got my own experience with dancing, and let me tell you, the audience is wayy louder than us backstage and still, it seems to be quiet because of the loud loud music. But I guess it’s different in theater where you don’t always have music

I've been following you for a while, and seeing you here.. I have no words, only that you inspire me to do anything to one day accomplish what you've done, in terms of dance and ballet. I Love you luna, thanks for the genuine inspiration you bring

    I know that complimenting u doesnt do much to u Luna, but I absolutely adore ur dancing and how graceful u r. It's also wonderful to see the harder perspectives of being a ballerina as well because nobody really sees that. They know ballerinas as girls who have the utmost grace and poise with no flaws. But youve shown them ballet isn't all puppies and rainbows. For that, I admire u, not just because you're beautiful, but because you are a honest young lady who admits her flaws to help others. Thank u.

This video hit a soft spot for me because I've been depressed since before high school and I've let it take over my life. I didn't do much in high school and I let depression define me.

    Well, this may be two years old, but I discovered this video about 30 minutes ago on Dec.29, 2021. Sometimes artists take themselves too seriously, but thankfully Ms. Montana, you do not. Your dancing and acting are definitely first rate and your rehearsal footage is priceless. But your cross cutting from the rehearsal shots to the shots of the actual performance---all to the music of the moving Sleeping Beauty music-- was masterful. It is not surprising there were so many views You are a true artist. Bravo and good luck!

    This video is beautifully made. Thank you for sharing your dance journey with us! I’m so proud of you for all you have accomplished! Also congrats on graduating! As I’ve been telling everyone else in the Class of 2019, we done did it.
