I want to be a ballerina in my next life.
Never to late to start
@@sophieu-b6472 kinda is if you want to be professional
to bad you only get one life
@@maarjalueck7145 i mean nobody knows if we have one life lol
@@val6nt9ne that’s no true I do know. I know 100% that we either go to heaven or hell. Sry to break it to you.
your room and bathroom are so dreamy!
Thank you 🥰
“if you’re consistent, then you’ll get a good... well...” 💀💀
I mean...😂
I don't want to sound so ignorant but I've only danced in studios before. So, just wondering, what are the subjects that dance majors take? And what kind of exams do you take (since it's online.. is it like benesh notations or dance history or terminology or what)?
Idk for the US but i majored in Dance in France and yeah we had classes on benesh and Laban notations , dance sociology, dance history, mouvement analysis, work analysis, introduction to somatic methods etc like if u wanna learn how to dance that’s not the place but if you’re already a professional dancer or are inroled in some professional dance program or school it’s so helpful like it opens ur mind and teach u so much about your mind and body
@@souelb5491 thanks for sharing! That's really interesting :D
I LOVE YOUR EDITING! It's so nice to find a fellow dancer on youtube! Love this video and seeing your day of school and dance! The campus is so beautiful like that library wow! Can't wait to watch more videos :)
Aww thank you so much!!! The dance community on UA-cam is so tiny so I’m excited to make more videos 🥰
small youtuber and new subscriber here (-: honestly shocked when I checked ur subscriber count, this is edited so well and you deserve more!
Aww thank you so much that means a lot! Hoping to upload more soon❤️
You look like a princess with your ballet bun omg
Aww thank you that’s so sweet 💕
Ikr she is lit a princess
@@ziyle5238 ❤️❤️❤️
Omg I graduated from OU too and you were standing in my old ballet Barre spot where I stood for my four years in the ballet program 😄 OU School of Dance is such a great program. ❤🤍
Omg that’s so cool, can’t believe you found this video! I love OU’s ballet program 😊 where did you go after graduation?
@@holleyjohnson8860 I danced with the Louisville Ballet for three years, then moved to Missouri to dance with Missouri Ballet Theatre and Common Thread Contemporary Ballet! Now I'm retired, and a dance professor and choreographer. I graduated in 2012, so Clara Cravey had just started to teach (not sure who your teachers are??) but OU really prepared me for the professional ballet world!!
Omg that is such a beautiful campus!🥺 also, so so glad this came up in my recommended! New subbie✨🌸
Aww you’re so sweet💕 thank you!!
I just found your channel, and as a someone who does ballet since I've as two, but like really relaxed, these videos are so fun to watch
Thanks for watching!! That means a lot❤️
i did a summer intensive at OU a couple years ago and it was so amazing. they have such a good dance program!
pls make more of these im 13 and restarting ballet after a 2 year break Im a little nervous but this makes me more interested on starting ballet again!!
Thank you for watching!!! I also took a break from dance when I was around your age. You totally got this and it will be hard at first it will be worth it!❤️❤️
wow we’re literally in the same exact situation- same age and i took a two year break. i would really love to be a ballet dancer :)
@@lindsaybolton7796 same I’m 13 and took a 2 years break and starting again this August it’s crazy.
You give off such a refreshing energy! Looking forward to your next video💫
Thank you so much!! Hoping to post one soon❤️
PLEASE keep making these vids i really love them!! some ideas are maybe like your ballerina stretching routine? like an in-depth follow along one? i would loveee that
Thank you for watching!!! I’ll be posting more soon😊 also I have once up on my channel that I made during quarantine but I’ll probably make another one as well.
this needs way more views than it has right now omggg
Support!
Aww thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Keep up the great work! I love OU, I would love to do ballet as a major but I don’t have the determination. I can’t wait for more vlogs like this! Definitely, keep these vlogs going. You gained a subscriber!!!!
Aww thank you so much for the kind words and subscribing! I’m excited to upload more😊
Just found your channel and have to say that I love your editing style a lot!🤍 You are so natural in front of camera 🎥 I’m excited to watch more new vids
Aww thank you so much that means a lot! Hoping to upload more soon:)
Omg, that's the most beautiful and dreamy dorm room I've ever seen✨
I was a ballet major at CCM in Cincinnati. I was honestly miserable😂
Oh no!!!! It can be rough that’s for sure.💕
wait why? I've been looking into ccm, is there anything I should know?
@@johnnam6240 it’s a lot tbh. We’re you interested in more modern or classical oriented program? My key points were
1. The program isn’t funded well. They only do a full ballet every two years due to it, also costumes are pretty poor and more often then not we don’t get the actual Corbett stage, so we end up on small one.
2. For a supposedly “classical ballet” oriented program, it’s not. It’s run by a ex modern teacher who doesn’t know much about the classical aspect.
3. A lot of disorganization. You won’t know what’s happening till it happens, period.
I would say they have some fricking amazing staff tho. Qi Jiang, principal from ballet west, Deirdre Carberry, Principal ABT and Cincy ballet, (also danced with barishnikov), Isabelle Elefson from Brazil’s national ballet, Tricia Sunbeck principal from cincy balley.
@@johnnam6240 my personal feel I got was a toxic environment. I realize a lot of places can be like that, but it can be bad there. A lot of local studios suggest their students don’t go there, because in general a lot of people don’t do well, or have careers after.
@@louienovak4610 Ohh wow, thank you! I definitely would like to go to a classical program, and end up in a company hopefully once i graduate. I guess a school like butler or ou would give me that. Thank you for letting me know bc it’s seems it’s not like they advertise, which is quite disappointing bc performance opportunities, and structure are important to me.
did u bring your dog to college?? 😍
Please do a what I eat in a dayyy
Ooh good idea! I’ll try:)
I hope I'll be this chill when I go to school. :/
Aww haha you will:)
I’m also going to masterclass in Prague! just the first week tho
That’s so cool!! Hopefully I’ll get to see you :)
this deserves so may views and likes omg. loved the video:3
awww thank you so much! That means a lot❤️
You should make a video about what you eat in a day/week as a dancer 😁
That’s a good idea!! Maybe I’ll try it next time :)
Hi, I'm from Prague, I'm happy to show you in Prague.🤩🤩
Oh wow goodluck!
Thank you 💕
YOUR ROOM IS SO PRETTY
Omg are you going to masterclass in Prague?! 💜 cause maybe sameeee
I am!!! Omg this is so cool, let me know if you go!!
Once you graduate , what specialty will you take??
How do you have so little subscribers? Love your videos, I subbed!
Aww thank you so much!! That means a lot❤️
Everything about this video is cuteeeee
Omg I’m so excited for you to visit Prague! I’m from Prague and it’s definitely a beautiful city that makes you feel like you’re in a fairytale, enjoy!! I could give you some tips on where to go, where to eat- definitely let me know if would be interested🥰🤩!
Aww thank you so much, I’m so excited to visit! I’ll be there for a month so I would LOVE your recommendations☺️
My University in Brazil has connections with with OU so I think I should give it a try… The thing is that even though I’m a ballet student my major in college is currently architecture (bc there isn’t dance/ ballet major in my city campus) then I don’t know if they both (my uni and OU) would accept me to change my major ahahh (laughing to hide the fear lol)!! Anyways Imma look up for the infos ♥️
Ps: in your opinion what’s the most affordable accommodation option for a OU student??
Your videos are calming.. Hopefully you'll make more videos❤❤
Thank you so much! I’ll be uploading more soon💕
ok but can we talk about how pretty she is ✨❣️🥺
omg stop you are so sweet🥺💕
can you do a video on your point shoes? btw love your vids
Thank you!!! I’ll hopefully add more dance clips in my next video💕
id love to be a ballerina but im too old and lazy :(
Hello from Czech Republic 😁 couldn’t believe the coincidence when you mentioned Prague 😄 hope you’ll get to go
Omg where do you get your earrings from? They’re so gorgeous and look like they’d go with everything. Also very cute vlogggg loved ittttt
They are from Linjer and they are super comfortable. I partnered with them in my insta is you want to check it out🥰

your so pretty-
Awesome video!
Thank you ❤️
Oh your lifestyle is the very best to me !!
I wanna live a life like you😊
From jp
where did you get your black warm up jacket!
I got it from a friend but I think it is lulu lemon
Hi,
New to your channel. Since you went to college, are you still eligible to join a ballet company? One Love 💘
Hey, thanks for watching!! You can most definitely join a company. I graduate right after I turn 21 so I’m hoping to join a company and I will have a bachelors☺️
@@holleyjohnson8860 cool. I only see videos from ballet dancers that want straight from high school to company. I have noticed recently that ABT and NYCB dancers are going to college while being in the company. That must be stressful! I am an "olelady" now, so no more pointe, tap, jazz or character shoes (although these made me feel tall) for me. :-) Keep up the great work and blessings to you and your family! One 💖
It's my first time watching one of your videos, and let me say YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL and I loved the video!
You look like Lili Reinhart hahah
Thank you for watching, it means a lot! Also thanks, that is such a good compliment 🥰
Vlog more, please!! I will watch any vlog you upload -- even regular day in the life! Youre so chill and I love your personality. New subbie ❤🥺
What you're minor?
wear sunscreen every day!
ive always wanted to major in dance but when i asked my ballet teacher about it she said id probably break the pointe shoes with how fat i am and that i wouldnt fit in with the other skinny ballerinas. sucks to be me
That is awful and so cruel of your teacher to say. Don’t believe them! Their words are stemming from hate and not a reflection of who you are. If you have a passion for dance, then dance! No one can take that from you❤️
@@holleyjohnson8860 thank you so much!! I actually just found out that I got a contemporary solo to the song "anything worth holding onto" by Cynthia Erivo!! I'm super excited to compete it and I'll definitely prove to her that I am able to do what she tells me I can't!!
That’s amazing! You’ll kill it❤️❤️
@@holleyjohnson8860 THANK YOU!!!! YOURE SO NICE IMMA SUBSCRIBE!!!
❤️❤️❤️
How does she only have 500 subs?? Whattt
Aww thanks❤️❤️
please post more!! 💞
I will soon💗
Girl I am obsessed with you! You are genuinely SO pretty! Like your eyes are so big and blue snd your life honestly seems so dreamy (probably not i know but *you* know what i mean). I love it that you are so great at ballet and that all is so aesthetic and aaaahhhh can’t wait to check out the rest of your videos!🤩❤️
Ikr, speak for me, she's gorgeous. This was my goal but I got sidelined due to prolonged injuries from tracks and ballet. So, now I'm just a potato majoring in engineering lol life's so unpredictable. What about you? Are you dancing too?
@@samelis6546 aw sorry about that! But hey you can always go back to dancing 👍 yes i dance! I am not good at all but i love it lol. I just got my pointe shoes and I am crazy about them!☺️
@@dearordinarycaro oh that's awesome! I was also very excited when I got my first pair, I'd practise so hard that I'd get to the point where I felt like I didn't need the shoes. And I also went through that going to sleep in your pointes phase lol kids. Yeah, you're right, I could return to it but only as a recreational hobby and that's a bit bittersweet for me. I still have my last pair that I didn't get to wear down. Just as a keepsake for my passion. I hope you keep dancing, all the best!
@@samelis6546 btw I’ll be uploading a video tomorrow talking about my ballet experience so far! If you want to check it out here’s the link to my channel ☺️ ua-cam.com/channels/MGHDLhLeaLF2ukyq5uHHgg.html

Y r u so pretty omg
im 16 and i want ro start ballett again but idk if im to old
You should! You’re never too old too start❤️
I will be a signing up fo ballet classes. Any advise?
It is super mentally and physically challenging so just be kind to yourself and have fun!💗
Holley Johnson thanks a lot💖
I am 17 and i danced since i was 2 years old and i stopped when i was like 14 or 15 ish, i’ve never done ballet in point shoes i only did ballet from like 2yrs old to like 8 or so years old but i did other dance styles the other years, i want to try ballet again but i’m terrified that i will fail and like be too rusty to actually be good. idk what to doooo 😀
I say go for it! You can always start out slow and pace yourself. Ballet is far from easy so be kind to yourself when you first start, it takes time but is super rewarding. You got this!
This video is so aesthetically pleasing
OMGGG I’m from prague!! First person I see excited to come here, enjoy it, its really pretty when its sunny:))
I leave the U.S. soon and I am sooooo pumped! Can’t wait to explore your city💕

Hi my daughter is 10 . She just join Ballet and we are thinking of doing this until she is an adult. Why is it inportant to go collegue for a dance major? Would that give you better opportunities to work for a company? Is ballet your only major?
Where’s the jacket from in 4:00 ?
I got it from a friend but I think it’s lulu lemon
🔥🔥🔥💙
loved the video!! :)
Me too
Thank you!!
when did you start dancing? i’m 17 and i started two years ago and i don’t know if when you are 22 (that is when i hope to have reached a high level) you are able to join a company or not at all i dont know; do you think there is some posibility?
Hey, thanks for watching!! I’m 20 now and I started when I was 6 or 7 but don’t let that discourage you because I’ve know lots of people who start later and still go professional. You totally got this!❤️
You randomly popped up in my recommended today and let me say i'm so glad you did.You're so pretty and you can tell you have the personality to match.
This is the sweetest comment! Thank you sm you made my day❤️
Hi can you do a tutorial on how you did your ballet bun? It looks so easy!
