    This really inspired me. I’m a professional ballerina and I feel passionate about bringing ballet to everyone and create performances for rural areas. I am currently working tirelessly as a waitress to create enough funds to launch my own company whilst creating my own repertoire and performing “gigs” for exposure but also to build funds

    Ballet is expensive to learn, and its very rare to get a pro gig.
    Once you go pro, you still don't get paid a ton. It's literally a struggle.
    I love that she's bringing it to the streets for many reasons!
    One; many can see it
    Two; it makes classics arts "attainable"
    Three; buskers can make more than pro ballet dancers

      This struggle is the same for black women in general especially in the art world. Pay your whole life and yet the jobs are few if any and in part due to discrimination and parts stereotyped! Should be nothing to do with tradition which keeps things the same, no change and not inclusive! In today’s society should be about talent.

    My friend once told me she wanted to see a ballet at least once. She was about to leave for one year to Australia after high school and I found there was a ballet performance at a small culture center. I believe they were junior dancers of a Russian school. It was very last minute, so I asked my friend if she was free and if we could see each other. There were some tickets left and I managed to buy two tickets seated together. On the day, I surprised her with the tickets as an early birthday present before she left. She was so happy. We bith enjoyed the performance. I also really appreciated the opportunity to watch a ballet performance without financially ruining myself in the process.

    As someone who grew up in ballet, once I was texting a friend about going back on pointe, and he thought “pointe” was the name of a studio 😆 he didn’t even know what the shoes were, I had to send him a pic! And that moment completely shocked me, as I realized that a lot of ppl rly have never actually been exposed to real ballet before. To see all the surprised and captivated faces of the crowd watching her, it’s rly reminding me not to take dance for granted & I’m soooo happy she’s spreading it to the public

      @@Jude74 You seem to be having trouble distinguishing ballet from the existence of all human creativity. That's not going to be a way for you to shoehorn ballet into importance, and it's not important. The narrative here is that people are increasing their well-being by having an opportunity to be exposed to something they cannot afford. But no one needs to be exposed to it. It's just something interesting to see while walking in the street. No one's life is changing and ballet has hurt a lot of people as well. Society might be better off without it.

There were no discounted seats due to the fact that the girls are only three and four years old. It was absolutely worth it without a doubt, but not everybody can afford $100 for a show on a Wednesday.

    There is a small theater that is absolutely beautiful in the town that I live in that does one or two ballets a year that are actually really good and thickets are super affordable. My mom used to do ballet so we always go together. 😊
