🩰 they said I was "too old" to be a ballerina, so I created an entire adult ballet academy instead.
Does this sound familiar? You've always dreamed of wearing the tutus and dancing on stage but life took over and you've never set foot in a ballet class so at this point... it seems way too late to be an aspiring ballerina now.
​Or maybe you've taken an adult ballet classes or two but constantly still feel insecure about most of what you're doing (they either don't take you seriously at all or seem angry with you for not picking it up right away).
And if you've ever been singled out or shamed by a teacher for your weight, your age, your lack of training or some other ridiculous reason that left you feeling embarrassed and scared to go back, you're not alone.

    Hi Veronica, I recently found your channel and I’m so glad you popped up because your content is truly chef’s kiss - thank you for always being open and honest in a world where that’s extremely rare ❤ I wanted to ask you something - and please excuse me if this is a weird question, obviously you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to - is there a possibility that you might have ADHD (perhaps inattentive type, which is the one that’s more common in women)? I myself was diagnosed a couple of months ago (after I had been researching it for a long time & everything just kept making more and more sense as time went on) I’m asking you because in the very 1st min of this video, you mentioned a few things that made a lot of sense to my ADHD self: our attention spans being shot to hell, letting your dishes slowly pile up until it’s this insurmountable task, “struggling” to observe timelines when posting videos… Idk, perhaps these are all just coincidences (after all, ADHD symptoms are normal human behaviours - it’s when they are “too much” or when they make your life somewhat dysfunctional that issues arise), but tbh this is not the first time I happen to ask myself that question when watching a video of yours, so I figured, why not point this out, even if there’s just 1% probability that it could help you or someone else reading this out? I really hope this doesn’t come across as offensive, I just mean for it to be food for thought! 💕 PS excuse me for any mistakes I made, English isn’t my first language lol

    The windows at the studio are soooo gorgeous 🥰 Are you familiar with Rachel Brice, she does Fusion style belly dance? Rachel was a yoga instructor for years before she became a dancer, and heavily incorporates yoga practice into her instruction now that she's a dance teacher. She did a double DVD back in the day called Serpentine, with a lot of focus on yoga as flexibility conditioning. I know you've recently started to teach yoga as part of your workshops, and I think it could be really helpful to do something similar to RB''s program, but specifically for adult beginner ballet dancers, focusing on flexibility, extension, warming up the muscles, conditioning, etc., for dancers trying to push new movements on older bodies. Love seeing the behind the scenes stuff from your workshops! ❤

      Will do so!! ​We as adults face so many obstacles whe we want to do dance. When I did salsa for a few years I did it on and off but it's not like I wanted it that way. The classes were either at the same time as work or the school would be located super far from where I lived and I wouldn't make it on time for class. There is always something getting in the way. I did tango classes during that time just to keep dancing. Salsa is my favorite though. But I never gave up, I always sticked to it even when it all got super hard. As a reward I am now EXACTLY where I want be, and the dance school moved to an area that is sure near me, I can literally get there on feet in 15 minutes. Guys just keep going, don't focu on the bad stuff and it will all fall into place. I am starting ballet in October and I am 30. I hope I will workout as well as salsa did.@@VeronicaViccora
