Absolutely you can! Find a good teacher, put in the work, and be prepared to put a lot of work into your flexibility since that comes more difficult to adults. But you can absolutely do it and enjoy it!
You can do ballet at any age, just don’t start with hard stuff for beginners like this girl did. Her placements of the body is completely wrong and will be a hard time to get out of and do the correct way.
people who learn new things like dance, music, language, etc. when they’ve passed the prime learning age have my utmost respect. on top of having an adult life to take care of, they also have to see so many younger kids excelling because of their early start, yet they still carry on and work hard to achieve their dreams and goals. it’s really inspiring to see!
Congrats on your massive progression! It's amazing! As a dancer the tip I would give you is to spot when turning, turn your head at the very last moment and really fast for it to be there before your body. That will give you the momentum and balance you need to do multiple turns ! Xx
You can do all things through the the Lord who strengthens you(Philippians 4:13) heres verse to takeaway Zephaniah 3:17 for the Lord your God is with you his power gives you victory the Lord will take delight in you and in his love he will give you a new life he will sing and be joyful over you (also read Psalm 23 for encouragement)❤️❤️❤️You are loved keep going
Yes I agree, she clearly has the motivation and determination to do amazing things. If she starts with that foundation she could become a beautiful dancer.😊
I have been doing ballet for almost 10 years now and I’m getting my point shoes next month for anyone who wants to do it it’s never to late to start now
As a ballet dancer of 10+ years, I dont believe you should start doing leaps and pirouettes within your first 2 years of dancing. If you start doing it with the wrong placement it’s a deep ditch to get out of.
she didn't even had her arms right, yet she started doing fast pirouettes 😭 I understand wanting to do the "real" ballerina stuff as fast as possible, but you need to get all the basics right first because later there won't be enough time to fix the "beginner" mistaked
@@LaraOlina its true. Within basics she wont do in properly. :/ Good that she is training, but fouttes and pirouettes are definetely enough hard at first class...
1.5 years and having a better split leap is crazy. To help with the turns- imagine theres a string from the bottom to the top of your body, coming out of the top of your head, and imagine someone is pulling at it- making you straighten up. Always helped me the most with pirouettes and stuff to imagine I HAD to have perfectly straight posture. It always fixed my problems with momentum and falling, etc.
This video actually showed up to me in a really good time bc I started adult ballet in December and from time to time I get sooo unmotivated bc I don't see myself getting better but I don't wanna give up :( thank you really
You are doing great for just 1.5 years that is a progress I like to encourage up rising ballerinas because i used to be a ballerina almost my whole life I have experience of 9 years but had to quit ballet due to a few personal reasons but your doing it great girl
Aw thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I hope you feel better. It’s amazing that you danced for 9 years. What a beautiful accomplishment! You will always be a ballerina because you’ve done it for so long! I’m sure your muscles remember everything ✨🤍
I’ve been dancing since I was 1 and now I’m 13 and it was hard to get to where I am now but you learnt most of the things that has taken me 12 years to master and you learnt it in 1.5 years, like SLAYY GURLIEE❤
ABT dancer here! That is so cool that you are constantly pushing yourself to be amazing. Also, all those amazing turns you want to try/do, it'll require a lot of ankle strength.
This is what i needed today. Last night I had a ballet class and we were working on turns and i felt so inept and defeated. This reminded me that i just need more practice and determination
I have a tip that will make you spin more, whenever you turn your head it's the last one to leave and the first to arrive, search more about it on UA-cam and you'll see ❤
First off, not only are you beginning ballet as an adult which is not easy, but you're attempting fouettés! Amazing. It's the perseverance for me! You will get there!
hi, been dancing for 13 years here! i think it is amazing that you’re taking the courage to do ballet. it’s beautiful and artistic and so difficult! i have a tip for you though. i know you want to do turns and lovely extensions, but you have to start with the basics first. you should have a good solid and technical base to work off of so you can start doing harder things.
As a ballet dancer for 16 years,i see her lacking some ways BUT I appreciate her working so hard. She is getting there!!! Dont give up! You are almost there!
I’m thinking of starting ballet again I did it in kindergarten but had to quit bc of my sisters and I was so sad and still am bc I could be rly good probably by now
Wow, that's amazing!!! I've been dancing for a while and you are learning fast. Props to you!!! One thing though is for your turns, you could try to spot. I find it helps me and many others turn better.
Only thing I would suggest is to work on fully reaching through your movements all the way to your finger tips ive noticed through years of competing and now just watching that’s what normally separates those who have done it longer is they learn how to reach through and fully complete every movement they do idk how else to explain it other than fully finishing a move before moving on to the next. It’s a very complex thing to learn more than you’d think and from how far you’ve come in such little time I’m sure you’ll get there sooner than later you’re very talented
I quit ballet at 11 and regretted it since. I felt like I wasn’t good enough to go back into it, as all my peers had stuck with it and are now much better than I would be going back to my old studio. This reminded me that, even as a now young adult, I can find an adult class/studio and continue doing what I love, and maybe even be good at it! 🫶
I started ballet at 11- (pretty late) and now at 15 I started learning fouettés about a year ago, I’ve been on pointe for 1.5 years and starting with the hard stuff is never easier, as recommendation try to start with easier stuff so the harder stuff comes easier in the future, you need to build up the technique before you try things that use so much of you.
i have been dancing for 11 years and i only have 2 years left until i am unable to dance anymore i’m hoping to get on pointe within the next year… trying to cherish the last few years before i graduate
I wish I could dance again. I was a ballerina at age 5 and continued to dance for 9 years, my dad couldn't afford it anymore and we ended up moving. Haven't dance ballet for the last 7 years, when I did try again, I was told I was too over weight because I was curvy. I would like to start uo again but idk. Maybe in the future
Girl 🤍 You’re Amazing, this video is Amazing and soooo motivating and soo relatable with all the thoughts that went through your mind and the reason you gave up before.. Thank You for sharing this video and even if I watched it a bit late it helps a lot and I know that it will help a lot more people in the future 💫 You made me cry at end at how beautiful and happy You were and how much You improved in such a short period of time was not only incredible but also the best motivation I or anyone watching could get. So thank You again, dream big & take care, Always 🤍🌌
Im so sorry I missed this comment! You are so incredibly kind, thank you so much, you have no idea how much I appreciate it. We need more people like you in the world 🩷🩰
i’m 13 and have been doing ballet 2 years now and it’s extremely hard. i know that the older you get the harder it is to start and be really good but you ate that
You are incredible. I’m so proud of you I’ve been doing non professional ballet for over 10 years now (4-14 and just started again at 16) Even for me it’s incredibly frustrating to watch professional ballet dancers my age bc they’re soooo much better. But it’s not all about skill all the time. Keep it up and let no one discourage you !!
I did gymnastics when I was in hs and then I stopped when I was 15, now with 20 i would love to go back but i feel like i'm too old and i don't remember most of the things i would need to start from scratch again
I know how you feel. It’s so hard to go back to something. But I promise you that it’s worth it. Your desire will never go away. It will bring you so much joy. From my experience, there is a « grieving » period when you start as an adult, because you need to let go of the version you could of been have you started earlier or never stopped, BUT I promise you that those emotions pass and you will be so grateful that you started again. I fully support you 🥹💕
this gave me hope to learn ballet even for just a litte so if theres an opportunity i will be taking a ballet class . its very rare here and im 8 -9 hours away from the capital where there are bunch of ballet class available
I've self taught myself certain ballet moves and the spin at the end (having brain loss at the moment😂) took FOREVER so when I finally nailed it and finally did it I was so over the moon happy. Then I fell during a cosplay in which I was in heels (platforms to be exact) onto cement flooring. I sprained my ankle messed up my knee badly and now it's like I'm at square one again. 🥲
the first video is literally me but much worst- i think i’m doing good but i’m actually doing horrible i think about how i’m doing horrible i lose my valence and fall into my mirror-😂😂😂 i jump to when i turn around😂😊
heyy girly, i can't believe this is only 1.5 years of ballet! i can really see your ambition towards it! ps, i noticed on your pirouettes towards the end that you were half way turned around before your back foot was off the ground, push and then SHOOT your back leg up right away, it will be easier for you to turn and it looks more in control. edit: i just realized that your not spotting make sure you whip your head around while u turn(find an object and focus on it while you turn, try not to take your eyes off of it) 🙃 (i don't want to come off as mean, i really want to help you get into your dance journey! if you want to do ballet, you don't have to start when your young.)
My ballet teacher if I fail: do you want me to do it?? She does this thing where you lie on the ground and she bends and basically pushed you back to the ground.
Comments like these make me sad 🥺 It’s NEVER too late! You have your entire life ahead of you! Misty Copeland started ballet 13 and she’s on the most incredible ballerinas I’ve ever seen. It’s not too late, please believe me 🥹💗♥️🫶🏻
I always wanted to do ballet as a kid. My mom said I was too "heavy" which I literally average size. Just compared to my big sister I had more meat on my bones but not by much lol. That shit still hurts till this day cause I still want to do it but I'm definitely not young anymore
Absolutely amazing progress!! I have some constructive criticism though, if you strengthen and stretch your turnout muscles, it will give your dancing so much quality, along with relaxing your fingers. ❤❤
You should never start with pirouettes or leaps. As you can see from your grand plié, the form was completely off and your legs were not open enough. You have to start with the basics like plié, hand positions and all that, after you have the basics down your pirouettes will be much better.
I have always wanted to be a ballerina but I am very tall, fat and was playing the violin (now the cello) and if you are a musician, you know that sports or dances (any physical hobbies instead of table tennis and swimming) are not allowed for me but I want it so badly. And I don't have any stuff for ballet and I know I can ot buy because if someone finds out my cello school career will be over. It is still an impossible dream for me (: I wish I could dance but I know I cannot. But watching those makes me feel happy... Maybe I can start one day..?
start. doesn’t matter when. just do it and if you take classes long enough weight drops off naturally. (if that’s what you’re worried about. main focus should be turnout and ankle strength and don’t go en pointe too early.
Ive been doimg ballet for 13 years point for 5 i recently gave up cause my mentwl heqlth hit a huge low i loved hallet i was doung 14 hours a week for 6 years i kno2 the pwin of ever aching feet the endless blistars and the hours of conditioning you HAVE got this
I truly admire you. I hope you’re feeling better and I’m sorry you went through that. Ballet dancers have my uttermost respect. Thank you for being so kind! ✨
It made me believe I can learn ballet even if I'm not young "enough"
Absolutely you can! Find a good teacher, put in the work, and be prepared to put a lot of work into your flexibility since that comes more difficult to adults. But you can absolutely do it and enjoy it!
Screw peoples “rules”. You belong.
You can do ballet at any age, just don’t start with hard stuff for beginners like this girl did. Her placements of the body is completely wrong and will be a hard time to get out of and do the correct way.
Yes, i feel the same.

This is exactly what I am experiencing now!
I love your comment so much. I'm thinking the same!
That’s because adults have understood what make them feel good, no matter the results. Learning something is always a joy.
I feel this. Wish I had started my sport as a teen.
I love seeing people that begin dancing as adults! Your progress is spectacular!
Thank you so much ! 🥹 I hope you have an incredible day!!
After all disappointing shorts on UA-cam about ballet difficulties, I really need it to see this short. Thanks girl

You can always tell someone who didn’t start as a kid from the arms- it’s always just a bit awkward
What happens? Can she hurt her self? Or does her technique just look flawed?

I know your pain. I’ve been dancing for around 6 years now but it’s took me a long time and a lot of hard work and dedication to get where I am now.

I truly admire you. I hope you’re feeling better and I’m sorry you went through that. Ballet dancers have my uttermost respect. Thank you for being so kind! ✨
👏👏👏👏I need your determination lol
I’ve been doing ballet since I was 2 and trust me one you get to the high levels, every part of your body is sore after every class
you should be doing your left leg when you do pirouettes
Congratulations 🎉 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I don’t wanna be a ballerina. I do wanna be a figure skater and this makes me feel like I can do it. Thank you so much
omg YES figure skating is so beautiful!! I’m rooting for you! You got this 🥹🌸
