Thanks for watching! - Zábava
Are you liking this series on each of our daily routines?
Yessssss!!
I am a dancer too!
Yesss!
Yesss
Yesssss I love it!
You might be the most independent/self-sufficient 17 year old I’ve ever seen. I’m impressed and kind of in awe of you. You’re amazing.
Is she paying her own way? All of her needs are seen to. She's driven in comfort to and from her classes. That said, she's organized and disciplined for sure. But there are 17 year olds at West Point, so let's not get carried away.
Girl! I'm a 40 year old woman who used to be a contemporary dancer. My life would have not be the same without dance! The way we get to perceive and enjoy our bodies is unique. I still can do splits without warming!
I wish you the best!
Keep working hard and being your wonderful self because you are amazing! 🌟
(Excuse my English btw)
I am an atheist but I really love that she starts the day with reading her Bible. It’s so important to have something centering in life.
Thanks for saying that. That means a lot!🤍
This is a very kind and accurate comment!
I was reading Nietzsche and he, the ultimate atheist, said atheism was like a very innocent state of mind. I think that's beautiful ❤️
Even though I'm not an atheist now (I used to be)
why did you delete my comment?where is the freedom.Karen this is for you czcams.com/video/SEuW2e2kPLI/video.html
Important point to consider though, Jesus's Ressurection is a historical fact. There is no other plausible explanation for the events that took place in Israel 2000 years ago and the subsequent rise and spread of Christianity. Since all are facing eternity, I think it's very important rather than turn your back on God and consider the matter closed, to instead do some research and keep an open heart and mind.
@@esval3054 He also said " The man is a warrior and the women is made to serve the warrior". So you might want to take what he says with a grain of salt 😁 A more accurate description of atheist is a child who rejects their father
All of the sisters are such amazing dancers!!!! It makes me so happy that dance brings them this much joy!
Lovely
So disciplined, especially for such a young person. Kudos to you.
Thanks dear young lady. Enjoyed your video very much. Much success.
You all are so talented and gorgeous♥️♥️ Love from Ireland
I am so moved by how you start your day with the Bible. So proud of you.
How do you live such a perfect life you are so disciplined and make your day seem just perfect, more people should look up to you
❤❤
Such a great example for young ladies and even us Moms! God Bless you sweet girl!
You have so much going for yourself. I am impressed by your dedication to everything you do. I hope you have a wonderful time performing and that the world will get to enjoy the fruits of your labors.
Thank you so much!
So hardworking and driven! Wow! Inspiring ✨ I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll contribute to the ballet world ❤
I’m not an atheist… how wonderful it is that you wake up early to have your quiet time.
You put in more hours than a lot of working adults! I’m thrilled you love what you do. Rest well you deserve every moment!!
You are awe inspiring! Much success as you progress.

Hard work and perseverance noted, inspirational.
Ohhhh you are so self-sufficient and you just motivated me to pay more attention to my academy: P Thank you soooo much♥
Yes!!!!I'm really enjoying it!
I really enjoyed working with and getting to know the dancers I met at Juilliard, where I studied violin years ago. The discipline and command these athletes have over their bodies is unreal. Best wishes to you for a bright and promising career!
Long days x well done and wow Sasha Radetzky examining you😮❤ awesome!! ❤
Guys, it is the favorite! ❤❤❤
Questions:
Has your family ever considered moving closer to the city?
Is your brother involved. in any activities? Does he ever feel resentful that every day revolves around all of you?
What do your parents do for a living?
Do you have friends outside of ballet?
I’d love to know that as well.
I remember their brother does ice hockey in one the video. Not sure they will be moving closer to the city. They still have their ballet studio in NJ. The older Quiner Sister does professional ballet near their home in NJ.
@@claudianovak166it would be nice if they answered.
It’s probably too personal to answer what their parents do for a living.
@@desertrose3511 do you think so? Maybe you are right, but it’s just mind blowing to see how can they support their children that much-> which I totally appreciate and support 👏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
I only dreamed of support like this, bc I always wanted to be a professional dancer/ballerina but I didn’t have any support from anyone, and seeing something like Quiner sisters have is just so lovely 🤍
I’m so happy seeing ur channel grow!! ❤❤
Aww 🥰🥰🫶
can we just all appreciate how pretty they all are❤️💅
Question for rachel, since she’s still in school. How do you find time to do schoolwork on top of dance? Major respect to pre-pro dancers balancing school
I believe they are homeschooled so that helps them manage their school work better
But if this is your first time watching these ladies like me then you wouldn’t know they were home schooled so there is nothing wrong with asking the question is there Dee?🤔
@@deefitzgerald2906 I wasn’t asking a question I was stating that the person who asked about how Rachel managed schooling like myself might of only have seen one vlog but you implied that she should have known about her schooling as it was mentioned in a previous vlog. I have now seen you have removed your comment 🤔
@@deefitzgerald2906why not starting with yourself and be nice and kind to others?
@@deefitzgerald2906 why thanks to me? I haven’t done anything, you was the one with the attitude 🤔🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for sharing.
I love
I need to learn with you and read my Bible in the morning! I need this
God bless you are going to go far in life. ❤
You are AMAZING!
Bless you darlin’, I pray The Lord will look after you in all your endeavours ❤️
How is her hair that pretty!!
I LOVE that they read their Bible's everyday and have family Bible discussions and are very involved with their Church. That is so crucial I respect that more than I can explain.
What a great discipline!!!!
A sua fé te levará ao topo
Very pleased that you read the Bible every morning. And all the food! You set a good example of a start to the morning.
Well done.
It’s amazing that all the sisters seem fine with their levels of success…
I Sure HOPE YOU KNOW just How BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE from the Inside & Out…..You will Succeed in anything You Do and Your Life is just getting started….
Sending LOVE from Virginia 🌹
my best to your friends at class-good luck on exams✌😉
Genial lo que haces.
8:50 I don't know why I find this so funny XD
10:33 I felt that
Love that you start your day in the Word of God! ✝️❤️😃
You should try and convince Jillian to reveal her daily routine. If she wants to though.
We asked her. She will think about it.🙃🤍
And you don’t even look tired! 😱 I can barely get out of bed in the morning. 😂
I love the fact that you don’t mi de telling people that you are Christian that is exactly what God wants us to be like🤩you doing great girl 😃don’t give up on what you believe in 👍
You are a very committed and disciplined young lady. I did wonder when you fit academics in?
❤
😲👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
be careful around the good luck spot at 2:52. i turned the corner and someone had drawn a bunch of bad luck spots 😰stay safe out there guys
What about ABT Studio Company, when do they choose or audition dancers?
i just subed WOW!!! i always did wonder how it all works,i mean so exhausting the time spent going coming going shopping,anyway very cool blog you covered so much-please stay safe always ,CHEERS KID--ALWAYS OH!what happens with bad weather,or traffic nonsense??? get some rest,OH !!! yeah that salad in the car looked GREAT👍💙🦋🇺🇸🇺🇦☘
Thanks for subbing!
Any sort of bowl for breakfast is amazing 😁
100% agreed!!
Uauuuuuuuuuuuuu😢❤
Your hair looks naturally curly please share your favorite products as I have curly hair also!
Nice video
I think it's great she reads the Bible! Shine away girl! Shine for him!
In the vlog of Caroline, you wait Elli too. But she is the younger why did she came so late? ( love your video ) 😁
I am so glad that you consume healthy food during the day. You are burning so many calories and using every muscle in your body to its fullest capacity. Things in that department certainly have changed for the better since I was a dancer. You have such a long commute - are you in Connecticut? I just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for subscribing! We live in NJ.🙃
Good video. That’s quite a routine you have there. Continue on your road on getting the giant gold play button, because that’s your next goal on your Cinderella story. You’ve surpassed 100k subscribers and earn yourself the silver play button award. Now, go for the giant gold play button. You’ll have to get 1 million subscribers to get the gold play button.
Im a christian, its so inspiring how you read your Bible every morning. You such a grounded person, and its so inspiring. Being a ballerina myself, im going tk try your routine❤❤
I learned ballet and I only have 2 lessons per week
Какая она чудесная очень б хотел с ней пообщатся )
Would you guys ever consider doing tips for turnout, pirouettes or even pointe work?!
We will consider it! We use turnout discs to help here is a link to our video where we mention our workouts czcams.com/video/aziiqm6G-f0/video.html.🤍
@@quinersisters thank you so much!!
Look you are very well 👏👏😍
i would watch these day in the life's once a week. so cool to see as i do theatre but am not involved in the ballet world!
question, will rachel get the chance to maybe audition for abt's professional company / do the seniors ever get picked to join them? or does it not work like that? do any of the girls want to join the company, or is that more so a super unusual occurrence for jko kids?
and, were michelle and savannah bored as they dont go to abt anymore haha, or was it just easier to not ride w/ ellie & ur mom there?
It is really challenging to get into ABT’s Studio Company. Last year, 1 girl was picked from Savannah’s class. Rach will be considered, but is also auditioning for other companies. 🤍
@@quinersisters That makes sense! Well break legs! (metaphorically)
Random video idea - could you make a video, if any of the girls want to, of what companies they want (or wanted) to go to, and how they decided on those? Like, how did y'all come across ARB and decide it was a great fit, besides location? Do some of you like different company's styles more, or do you all have the same dream companies? Or if the younger girls even wanna go to companies, or maybe go to different styles or choreographing? Think that could be cool to hear about! :)
Good
When I was at work managing a children’s nursery I left home at 6.15 every morning and walked back in the door at 7.15 at night. When I was younger being an only parent I worked 7 days a week ate at work and all my spare money payed my mortgage and food for my baby , I couldn’t afford to eat at home. I appreciate the hard work videos but pre Internet we just got on with it and hoped for the best
If you couldn’t dance what would you do?
I really like acting, so I think I would be an actor! -Rachel
@@quinersisters ooo i like that!
May I ask what is the gel you are using at 1:06 please ? My hair is crazy fluffy❤
I’m using the L.A. Hold Styling Gel by Giovanni.
@@quinersisters thanks a lot! You guys look amazing
Howcome you have to leave so early? Does it take over 3 hours for you to get to school in the mornings? 😮
Michelle & Savannah have class early and I go with them. 🙃
Hey guys.I can’t dance but your vids are so fun to watch. I Have a terminally ill mother and depression, So I watch Yt to get my mind off everything.Your vids make my day,love ya guys, P.s I kinda have a crush on Ellie but that’s fine Anyway,have a good day
Thanks for your support!! It means a lot 🫶
@@quinersisters thanks so much for your videos to keeping me in a good mood during hard times!!
I’m sorry about your problems. I had depression when I first became disabled, and I know how much it stinks. I spend a lot of time on CZcams as well. Maybe some comedy can help you, too!
Try the CZcams channels “pitch meeting“ and “Ryan George“! The same comedian runs both of them. The vids are between 2 to 8 minutes long, and they are safe for work. Pitch meetings is when a screenwriter guy tries to convince a producer guy to accept an idea for a movie or TV show which has been released to the public eg Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit trilogies, all those Marvel superhero movies and shows, and a lot more.
He even has some movies going back to the 1990s like Batman, Super Mario Bros and Jurassic Park. You don’t have to know anything about the movies for the videos to be funny! I’ve only seen maybe 10% of the movies that he talks about and I still find it hilarious.
On his Ryan George channel, he does various types of skits. You can check the playlists for what theme you want to see first.
If you enjoy ballet videos, there is a 20 yo ballerina at the Birmingham Royal Ballet who used to be a rhythmic gymnast competing for Great Britain, whose channel you would probably like: “Hannah Martin RG.” I hope it’s OK to mention her on this channel. I don’t mean for this channel to be in competition with Hannah’s. But if you like this content, I’m pretty sure you would also like Hannah’s. She has had the channel for probably five years or longer, so there is also rhythmic gymnastics content because she was doing that before she went to the Elmhurst Ballet School. She was also on a British dance reality TV show/competition, and she made it really far because of her highly unusual combination of skills.
Also, I recently discovered this delightful little channel, which seems to just be getting started. The name is “Ballet Reign” and they seem to be a ballet company located in Texas.
Best wishes to you! 💐🙌😄
@@dronesclubhighjinks Thanos for ur support..rn I watch Danny Gonzalez and a podcast called the shit show so I’m fine but thanks so much
@@benjaminisawkardlmfao Good to hear! Take care 😃
Me: HOW BIG IS YOUR SCHOOL?!?
(Mine is just one room)
Did I miss something or did you leave home at 7:15 and not get to the school until 10:30? three hours? For some reason I thought ABT had dorms (probably the movie Center Stage put that in my head).
I think she did some school in that time
Very much
I don't dance and even I know about the black swan turns. Is it 37 ? In a class? Damn..
When do you fit in school 🏫 things
Hi, I hope it's okay to ask, could you please add a warning for the flickering lights in this video please? Thank you so much!
Question
Waht do u do if u have school?
You have to be homeschooled or go to a professional school once you get into upper 3 at ABT.
@@quinersisters omg u seen my comment and that must be hard work
Hey Rachel! Congratulations to your great job in dancing! So talented! and you organizing so much at the same time like editing videos, doing other stuff in your freetime etc. Cool! I Really are interested in your lifestyle /living with your wonderfully blessed sisters together.
Do you think you have a calling to dance for God one day? I mean maybe to choreograph your own lyrical dances to worship songs or Christian music . Thanks for keeping my updated! Iam a (freetime) dancer (in Germany too)
Hey Emily! Thank you so much!! I have danced in my church’s services before and would love to do more.
@@quinersisters wow! So cool! I pray for you 🙏🏽🫶🏽
Why is the class footage so blurry?
If you don't mind me asking you, How much do you weigh right and what is the required weight that most Company's want their Ballerina's to weigh? I know it's kind of a personal question But, I know a Professional Ballerina named Sophia and she told me that she has to stay right at 110 pounds maximum, So, she has a very strict protein diet with some carbs and fruits and nuts all of the time. Is that true for you? Sophia is 29 years old now.
Good for you!!! Reading the Bible gives you strength to go through each day!! Never give up your dream!!!
Question if you do dance Do you do school?
Yes. Rachel is a senior in high school and does school during her commute and while waiting for her sisters.
Wow how much is th cost? Do you have a job also? Thx
I have one question. Don't you have school or did Rachel graduate high school?
All of the sisters do homeschool
@@Potato13871 ty
@Family Besky ty
Rach does her school in the car on the way there or after class while she is waiting for Ellie to finish. She forgot to film that part.🙃
@@quinersisters tysm
How do you manage school
It’s really hard with my busy schedule. But I have to do it while I’m commuting to and from nyc. -Rachel
Those who aspire to be a dance star must first pay to try.
So it looks like you're travelling about 3 hours each way each day?
We live a an hour & 15 minutes from the city but you need to leave earlier at rush hour. 🙃
Hello 🎉
Hello 🎉😊
3 hours of travelling twice a day ??? :o
Wait, it takes you 3 hours to get to school???
It takes 3H15M to get from the house to school in the morning? 😳
No. It takes a little over an hour. Rach likes to arrive early.
@@quinersisters the time stamps had me scratching my head! thanks for taking that pebble out of my shoe
Are there any academics in your day?
oh wow i never realised that you have such a long way to ABT.. i thought its like a 20min drive or something...
ok i dont get it xD your way TO abt is 3hrs and the way back only 1hr... i need more information hahaha
