How a Fear of Dance Injury Can Be Paralyzing | Strictly Ballet - Season 2, Episode 4 - Розваги
Carlos's legs are so sculpted and amazing
Daph Duck agreed. and my little brother’s name is Carlos but we barely call him that.
Agreed
HIS JUMPS!
his eyebrows are on fleek
That's one of the things I was thinking the whole time haha
His everything is on fleek
aw Carlos' dad.. how emotional he gets hits me hard
I wish my family would support me like this!
the french teacher at the beginning made me smile so much idk why he's cute
Well I am french and I'm like "he could make an effort 😑" This la not pretty !!
I am french and I laughed so hard. He sounds like he is speaking like that on purpose
Who here is an aspiring dancer but realizes "How am I going to compete with this?"
MEE
Mee
OMG yes.
Me! (Watches this and a minute later all confident flys out the window)
That is SO me
three episodes in one day my dreams have come true ahaha
Same
omg carlos is amazing I'm attending the summer intensive right now and i see him in the summer course classes he's INCREDIBLE
have you spoken to him?????
+Queensofprep870 I said hey to him after the SI show but that's about it!
arlyn
You're so lucky!
Lucky you
Which company is he at now, do you know?
I totally sympathize with all of the aspiring professional dancers out there. I can’t imagine how impossible that lifestyle must be.
But I also think there’s beauty in knowing that dancing will always be there, no matter what happens in your career.
I went to a fine arts charter school and was exposed to different styles of dance... I fell in love with it but knew the entire time that It would never be more than a hobby. ***Obviously this is just my experience, but it’s all about perspective.
Don’t let the pressure of the end game or fear of competition/self-doubt ruin your passion! Dance is a language, and it never leaves you. Be proud of that! And I’m sure you’re all amazing. You inspire me. ❤️✌️
"I was doing ice every single day" lol dancer lyf haha
As a competitive equestrian, I can really relate to this video. "Between what we think we do and what we really do, sometimes there is a huge gap." And fear of injury, especially after a fall or accident. It takes time and you just have to be patient with yourself and keep pushing through. I really appreciate that these challenges are universal when one is trying to achieve and improve their craft.
He has something of Nureyev in his face, can anyone else see it? What a sweet, talented young man. I wish him all the best.
This is funny you have also seen it. I also commented on it. He looks very much like Nureyev. Also the big jump ;-) ...
Bron Stormborn Yes! I was thinking the same thing. Also the hair and his compactness.
When the group was doing barre and his teacher spoke to him I thought the exact same thing!
Sure. He does
I was looking for this comment. I totally agree
I like the first season more than this one
Cindy Cen Me too! I feel like in the first season everybody was friends and it was more fun, but here it's like the competition is too strong for them to establish relationships.
Fun fact I’ve actually danced with Carlos and Maria is now the director to the ballet school I go to
What company is Carlos at now, do you know?
Wow, the father words were really encouraging but also hearing those words can make you feel pressure.
I love watching as a ballet dancer myself. When the teacher in the video gives a correction I'll try the move and see if I'm doing it right. Seeing a dancers life from there point of view makes me realize even more how hard it really is
Men are so lucky! Like girls be over here buying a pair of freaking $70 pointes each week, while boys can do with a pair of socks.
Simply Thea it's exactly like that
Haha you guys feel me!! 🙌🏻
Simply Thea ...do the guys socks have any kind of grippers on them or are they ordinary socks?
samiamisme ordinary white socks. Hey wear white ballet slippers with them most of the time.
Jasmine Mingo ....thanks!
He will make it.
AdmirableProductions really? 0.0
AdmirableProductions what abt the russian girl I think she's better than the two girls
AdmirableProductions
How Admirable are YOUR productions when you are trying to spoil the ending of somebody else's production? Why can viewers just find out for themselves?
You are a JERK!
And you should take down the post!
***** Did she get a contract with ABT?
Jayjen35 really? I didnt know
carlos is really cute ;-;
"I am proud to be your father." I'm not crying, you're crying.
THOS ELEGS BOYYYYYYY. I am impressed. They look effortless and thin but they are actual beasts! goals
BRAVO! Bravissimo!
Carlos Valdés was born to dance. He will join the greatest group of Cuban Ballet Premier Danseurs in history beginning with the first, Fernando Bujones.
MrQbenDanny you have been posting very kind comments about the dancers on the videos and I just wanted to say that that is very sweet of you. We need more positive, kind people like you in the world!
Ariana Brooks Thank you . However ,I can be critical and when necessary brutal with professionals who walk through performances. Ballet is a sacred Art, but one must also have Craft, there is no Art without craft, when you put them together, it's bliss for the dancer and for the audience.
All of them are truly inspiring! Thank you
Aww his dad is so lovely
Olivier Pardina one of my favorite teachers ever, i love taking class with him
His dad made ME cry!
Who here realised that boys who do ballet are now surprisingly
cute ?
Preet G Perfect physiques.
When he jumps 😍😍😍😍
please dont take so long to upload another video :) I'm really enjoying them.
Started ballet when i was three, had to quit after 7 yrs because of weak ankles, so this is too real for me. wish i was still doing it
Carlo's parents are so sweet
omg three episodes YASSSSS
his jumps are so good!
I believe he recovered greatly and when it got to the point where he said he was from Cuba I practically scream, because I am from Havana,Cuba too and I born and raised there.😁
this is super late but same here 😂
thank you, amazing
it is so beautiful to watch these dances I just love this dance always have
“After a few minutes it feels so good u don’t wanna take (ur feet) out” (ice bucket scene) bro that’s the first sign of hypothermia 😅
I was a dancer for 15 years, and I took a master class with Olivier...so. Hard.
Can someone tell where is Carlos dancing right now? He is pretty good!!! Please?
Currently away from ballet with a broken foot - I am so terrified that won't be able to get back to where I was before - also as I'm an impatient person and I have performances in June
meowingwool- how's your foot now? I've just been told not to dance for at least a month, or it will be surgery on my knee. So disappointed 😔
luv this
Qué bonito ❤️
When they dance and land from their jumps, all I stare at is their ankles (also their thighs, but mostly their ankles lol). I can't help but think how much stress they put on their ankles. Personally, I played basketball growing up and remember wearing braces or sleeves to help support my ankles from the lands. But I do credit them with being really good at taking care of their bodies. Icing and all that crap. When I sprained my ankle, I was stubborn and literally only used crutches for a day. Then for the next few months I suffered but walked off the pain haha.

Nobody:
Birds at 7 am :
Love Carlos!!!😭😱🍟
Carlos is BÆ! Also his accent. 😍
He is poop??
Eek I sprained my ankle and I had to stop figure skating for 2 months and now I’m afraid of spraining it again which is definitely gonna be a set back.
I really enjoy the video because im a dancer and I understand wath they live :) !!
Wow a beautiful swan in the making 🙏
Is there going to be a season 3?
Anybody else think he looks like Joe Sugg?
Maya Taylor A bit!
Miami has a ton of Spanish journalism! Your dad can try Telemundo or Univision!!
Carlos reminds me optically very much of Nureyev. He could be his grandson. ;-)
That's just like my ballet teacher
Como una persona que está aprendiendo español, me encantó este episodio muchisimo
MNTS phim ttuyen vo
MNTS phim truyen viet nam
Why did this series end 😢
He reminded me a little bit of Mikhail Baryshnikov.
Just watched season 1, now I’m trucking through season 2. Who am I sometimes
Where is Carlos Valdes from "Strictly Ballet 2", dancing now?
Carlos is the ballet Andrew Garfield holy moly
lol there are the teacher french 1.00 😂
mde il sort a 0.50 min ho mon dieu p
bravo
We love a French ballet teacher
He is such an amazing dancer omg! Does he have any social media where people can follow him?
he's at BalletMet www.balletmet.org/meet-company/balletmet-2/carlos-valdes/
how do these boys jump so high?
Did anyone else thinks the conversation Carlos and his father had was awkward?...no just me?
+Gabriela Melendez lol his conversations with everyone are awkward.
I thought so too
Lol 3 years later but I dont know if you're Hispanic but I totally related to that conversation. My parents have given me the same one where they say that the day we succeed will be the happiest because it's what they couldn't do. Its uncomfortable because its so much extra pressure since if you fail, you're letting them down too.
How is it awkward?
I actually found it very touching
Carlos looks like a young Rudolph Nureyev
OMG I'm Cuban!!!
Is he still dancing? If yes, is he doing it professional?
he looks so sleep deprived so sad :((
Alguien que hable español?
That french accent though
he is working now
Wdym??
Which company is he at, do you know?
llevo todo el video preguntandome por que carlos y la profesora no hablan en español si esta claro que los dos lo son
Did he say "more stronger"
girls have to go through periods.....boys have it better in some ways. but competition for girls is more challenging cuz there arent that many boys
He looks like John B
Okay well Carlos is hot.
lmao carlos was such a prick to his parents he literally just chuffed when his dad was crying ?!
Season one was better
Could it be any harder for the dancers? They literally dance on the concrete floor, a harsher recipe for injury. Wooden floors would far better element for dancing, it's more forgiving than cement. Students don't give up on your dreams continue to strive for Excellence
most dance floors are sprung with a marley surface, it’s often the same colour as concrete which i guess might be confusing
carlos is my new boyfriend
FanGirl me ...
There so lucky that they meet justin beiber. I alwags wanted to meet him
