🩰 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, I'M VERONICA VICCORA
Hi there! I'm Veronica, welcome to my beginner dance journey. When I was 17, I was told by a teacher that I would never be a ballerina. I let that thought control me for YEARS but now, in my late 20s, I moved to New York City and I'm finally starting ballet late. This is a space for me to document the ups and downs of learning how to do ballet in my 20s and show anyone that it's never too late to live your dreams.

Just make sure you have good ankle strength, to be on pointe, you have to have really strong ankles, and normally you have to be taking a class to help with that.
🥰🩰
Love the split sole pointe shoes! I’ve never tried them. What are they like?
You are SO gorgeous!❤
omg i just found your account and i love it!! im a teenager and ive been doing ballet for about 10 years now and it is literally my everything ❤️🫶🫶
THE ARCH ITS GOURGOUES
I’m so happy for you!! Also so jealous I wish I could get my classmates and local studio on board with a recital for the adult ballet class. Unfortunately my classmates are mostly retirement age or around 55. They don’t really want to do a recital
Wow! You look wonderful! Strong and graceful ❤
Honestly I think you have really good feet, I hope you have fun learning pointe!
I started at 12
You are doing amazing!
It was my abusive teachers that I (reluctantly) have to thank for showing me how to teach. I do the opposite of what they did. I treat my students with patience, empathy, understanding and respect. I want them to learn to love what they are learning, and feel like they have as much a right to their art as any professional.
I’ve been dancing senes I was two and I still am and I love it
As a ballet dancer her progress is insane You go girl🩰
Subscribing because you’re doing what I only think/dream about doing! ❤
You are progressing so fast! Be proud! ❤
Keep going!! Youve got this!! 🎉❤🎉
you have really nice feet! and i thought i started late (fifteen) i love seeing adults peruse a passion💛
where’s your leotard from?? it’s so pretty
Inspired !! Thank you !!
Do you have any previous dance experience?
your feet are so strong and beautiful ❤ i love watching your progress
As a 25 year old, thank you for helping me push that weird boundary in my head that says I'm incapable of still picking up new hobbies and learning to push my body in different ways 🤍🩷 I wish this would go viral because a lot of women and girls out there should see that you don't have to grow up doing something to be good at it
😂
This is the only thing keeping me from signing up for an absolute beginner class 😅
It's never to late to do what you love. But I think a lot of adult beginners make the mistake of trying to go too advanced, too fast. Work on the basics. Focus on the foundational stuff, like foot strength and flexibility, turn out, posture and arm placement, core strength. It will keep you healthier and make your dancing so much more beautiful
Lol at being a tough cookie and causing cavities. 😂👏👏👏
@@AnjelSpeaks lol brush your teeth kids, we’re spitting truth
Keep speaking the truth. Abuse is wrong PERIOD, and it needs to never be normalized.
@@AnjelSpeaks agreed!!! I’m all for a little tough love sometimes, but there’s really never any need for being made to feel incompetent or insecure about your body. Unacceptable.
Huh I've danced for 10 years and I'm nowhere near starting pointe, you're doing great

i’m restarting ballet at age 24 💀💀💀 the last time i did ballet was 4-5 years ago and i’m also worried if i’m too old to get back into pointe…also my ballet training was never consistent, i just hope at this age i can still develop my skills and foundation in ballet! maybe even better than i was back then 🥹😭 thank you veronica for being an inspiration! i love your content so much, keep it up! ❤️❤️❤️

Jesus Christ! What do you young people think 30 is? You think it’s “OLD”???? 30 is just barely an adult. I’m 53. I don’t look like this crazed, seizure- stricken woman. I dance ballet just as well as all the 30-year-olds in your videos. My body is slender, flexible, strong, youthful and lovely. (And by the way - who wears a granny-bra like this woman you chose to depict as an “old person” in your video? No one I know!) It’s a bit offensive. Maybe take it down?
Hi Veronica, I’ve been thinking about my comment that I left you last night and I want to apologize. I shouldn’t have left sideways remarks about your video. My daughter is 27. Not much younger than you. You remind me of her. I really appreciate your sense of humor and your feistiness! This video actually is pretty funny… but it’s also ageist…and for some reason Veronica… It hurt my feelings. 😢 30-year-olds are not the only ones who are struggling with a Ballet community who thinks they should be put up to pasture. What about women like me? How do would you imagine we feel? Obviously, you don’t have to take the video down. It’s your choice what you want to post. I’m still gonna watch your work because I think it’s your brilliant and I think you’re doing something really good in the world. But I would just ask you to please be mindful of how every woman feels at every age. Something like this video of this unfortunate ungraceful older woman could make the rest of us feel who are even older than you and trying to do our best in our beloved art form pretty ugly. Love, Paige
Congratulations!!! You never forget your first recital
GREAT vlog! I love love love these!! Thank you so much for sharing!
hats off to you!!
Many ballet teachers are the worst! Personal experience on so many levels...
lol, feb 13 th is my birthday!
U r my inspiration, I started ballet at 13 and it’s been so demotivating seeing girls at my academy already en pointe (I do consider that jealousy) and you’ve motivated me so much, you go girl..,
My parents could never afford to put me in ballet and now I’m 22 and putting myself in this is healing as I have always been insecure about being a dancer with no training….i start next week so excited
The pointe is, to ✨live✨
I 100% agree. This lady just gave birth!! Women are so vunrable in these moments of life!! The lack of sleep, the stress around giving birth and raising a kid. And of top of all of that she needs to deal with this!! I went to salsa dance classes for two years. My teacher was so mean. Every single class he would call me out on something that I did incorrectly in front everbody. Even when I know that I did everything right, he would find millons of flaws. I couldn't do classes anywhere else because all of the other schools did latin american dance classes only for kids and teenagers. They didn't take adult dance classes seriously. Only that school was the school in my area that took adult dance classes seriously. All the other teachers of that school were busy with other groups. I was always stuck with him. He would always end up teaching dance to my group. In September last year, he said some swear words to me he, he showed me his middle finger and after two years of dance he told that I still can't do the basic steps and that I don't know how dance at all. At that moment I had enough. I called him out on the spot, I left, and I even asked for a refund (the class wasn't over yet it just started). I also complained to the management of the school about him. After some time the managment invited me take tango classes in that school because that guy can't dance tango so he can't teach it. I accepted this invitation because that school is beautiful, I was not angry at everyone there, I was only angry at him. The other teachers were great. So I started taking tango classes in October last year just to keep dancing, and I did tango up until June this year. Later I noticed that they had a new salsa group that is at my level and it was lead by a different teacher. So I started taking salsa classes again and I have been doing that up until now. My new teacher is awsome. Now I am exactly where I want to be in salsa, because I just kept dancing even though it was a different dance. In dance it just important to keep going and not quitting. Baby steps add on. Eventhough tango is a completely different dance it helped improve my salsa dance moves. I would have leveled in up in salsa much sooner if all of this didn't happen but I am happy with where I am now when it comes to dancing salsa and tango was a beautiful journey. I met awsome people on the way and I went to cool tango dance events. I hope that the lady who had a bad experience with her ballet teacher find a teacher will find a teacher who will treat her with respect. As for my bad dance teacher, I don't see him at the school anymore. I heard that he had done this to other girls in other groups. He always chooses one girl per group to bully. This truly needs to stop!!!!
Thats definitely what it feels like sometimes 😅
I love watching you do ballet and see how you progress!!🩰 Edit: I just saw the clip of you going on pointe, that was so cool! I also love watching your vids!
