My 2 gorgeous little sisters were ballerinas and this so reminded me of a night years ago that I had totally forgotten ever happened. They had a contest. 20. was not reached that night I can tell you that. That was awesome!!
@@didluizadea What I meant is, a TikTok challenge is usually like, "Everyone should try this!" That's not what's going on here. It was a challenge for her specifically. Calling it a TikTok challenge undermines the amazing skill and training she went through to achieve this.
Really, a place where they felt safe to fail and inspired to keeping try of their own volition in front of him with a smile - I saved the video as it was heartwarming!
I love how she did 20 and all of a sudden the girl filming kept saying it was 19. I hope the sweet dancer was paid in full for her amazing accomplishment ❤
Well yah she would be dissapointed wirh 19. That’s 1 short of $1,000 not that she’s upset with the number 19. Ballet is a super hard craft to master but we really push our bodies past what they’re meant to do. 20 is fabulous!!!! And She said 20 was impossible before. I’m so happy for her!
@@greaterthanme876 the deal was 20 not 19 and it's really sad that's how you viewed this video. everyone else is seeing a girl who is over there busting her butt and pushing herself further and gaining confidence in herself! you really need to work on your self-esteem so you can stop being a cry baby when you don't make the deadline. you participation trophy babies are annoying as fuck.
@@greaterthanme876 dude wtf, do your research before opening your mouth! This happened in NOVEMBER, and she has another video, where the dancer DOES hit 20, and is given the cash. Freakin people, man.
I love that u are pushing her to let her realize her own potential and the fact that the teacher and classmates are encouraging her makes it even better....❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
@@ghislainelesage3517no? She was obviously trying her hardest before and then when $1000 (which is a LOT of money) was put on the table it motivated her and pushed her even more.
I know, I quit ballet growing up because my whole class and teacher were fucking MEAN and very snooty. It warms my heart to see the good energy they have in the studio, and how encouraging they are!
I don’t think it was a matter of her needing the money, but the fact that SHE DID IT. She probably didn’t think she’d every get there. Finally believing in yourself is much more emotional than getting money.
She just did 20 pirouettes and that’s something to be extra proud of and to cry over… I feel like the camera person is her sister or something just rewarding her for her hard and dedicated work…
@@beezee1196 depends on the dancer. Some get a new pair every week, others can go for over a month. Depends on how they break their shoes in, how close to a performance they might be, how often they dance, among other things. Also depends on their finances cause a pair of good shoes is not cheap
I don’t think she should. She can work harder. Get to 20 and earn that 1,000$ otherwise what’s the point? You tried hard so you get a reward? A reward that was set for a predetermined amount of pirouettes? Or in general: oh yeah you tried so hard. Here. Take this degree. This money. Even if you didn’t follow the terms of what we agreed on. Imagine how much better it would feel to get to 20 and earn that money.
I LOVE that her ballet instructor said to do it then she started to get well over the 10 she initially believed was more her limit. Our coaches and teachers are such a huge part of us digging deep ❤ so proud of her!
The look on her face at 10 when she didn’t believe she could…then like that little engine she sure did! Congrats to her, because the look alone at 20 made it worth it to watch. A bonus she got money, but seeing a person go from “I can’t “ to “I DID!” is perfection.❤
Love that she said its never gonna happen but pushed harder than she probably ever has and did it! You can see the tears of not only joy that sges winning that $1000 but thats she accomplished something she thought she could never do.
Being the mother of a dancer and the fact she looked at her teacher for approval immediately after, I honestly think she was doing it to prove to herself & him that she could do it. Nothing is more important to a dancers heart (and self esteem) than pushing themselves to do something they thought they could never accomplish and not only doing it, but having the approval of your instructor. The money was an afterthought, if any thought at all.
@@ballerinafromtheblock I dont think they meant in a bad way more as in theyre "just" turning which is supposed to look weird or boring and they make it look so graceful and easy while we all know its incredibly hard to do! :)
@@jenniferbayard3906 From mine experience ballerinas are usually muscles, not skin and bones... They are quite healthy, eats well enough to not have anemia - they would broke their bones if otherwise! Also: from our last Xmas work party - people from ballet eats more than you think 😂 and I am talking professional ballet dancers.
Congrats to achieving that amazing task, definitely counted the twentieth as she came out of the last pirouette and he friend came over to her. Totally amazing.
I've watched this so many times. it's so special and beautiful ❤️ the fact that you bet on her like that when she totally doubted herself, the bond between her and her instructor, her sheer determination, the feeling of family in the room, her face when she does it 🫶🥲✨ you are all magic. thank you so much Eva for capturing and sharing these precious moments, you're such a special person.
Wow super impressive, I know she got the money. This is definitely a beautiful family dynamic they have. Those moves were gorgeous, something I’ll never get the ever try. I’m not sure they have invited a ballerina, prosthetic foot/leg yet. A dream I now watch others perfect! ❤
If Maya decides to pursue ballet she is going to become one of the greatest of all time. She just has something special about her, she's not your average ballet dancer! She has undeniable star quality, a ballet legend in the making!
She actually got emotional when she actually did it. It was beautiful.
My 2 gorgeous little sisters were ballerinas and this so reminded me of a night years ago that I had totally forgotten ever happened. They had a contest. 20. was not reached that night I can tell you that. That was awesome!!
Yes exactly! It’s like she got something so much more out of that . She’s driven ! That was so beautiful. Her eyes sparked !
My sentiments exactly!!!
It’s probably way more self satisfying as a dancer to have achieved that 😂🎉
Was that emotion or pain?
The teacher is so fun,you can see that he loves he's students
His
his
i have a teacher like this. i love her so much she’s very tough though but that’s good.
Probably because he's Balkan
And always has a slightly disapproving look in his eyes. It's comforting, reminds me of my old coach 💟
Pretty crazy that in 1985 the world record was 11 and now 20 is a tiktok challenge.
Not sure it counts as a TikTok challenge when she's a trained professional with a particular skill for pirouettes...
Dude, it counts 😅 20 is insane even for her 😂
Barischnikov held the record
They had a wooden floor and beautiful point shoes with small points (not the ugly cow hooves of today).

She didnt care about the 1,000 . She unlocked something in herself she didnt believe she could accomplish. Thats priceless
Right like after a a couple try’s you can tell it wasn’t about the money anymore
Didn’t the money motivate her to keep going though???
@@CayleeAnn222 like if it was 50 bucks or even 100 im sure thats not a great motivator but 1000 is a LOT. that's sweet.
Do you know this 💯%?
Lol she's a ballerina, she definitely cares about the money
The concern in his voice when he said “who’s paying??”
You gotta make sure 😅 she wasn’t volunteering something he couldn’t afford lol
Lol 😭
It was the "me ✨️💅🏻" for me😂😂
Because he believes she can
😂😂❤🎉
That girl is SKILLED
Well of course she could do it for her teacher's approval before she could do it for money. The motivation of a true dancer.
For the people disappointed with her only getting 19, *SPOILER* she did 20! And got the moola ✨💖
Yeah if you see the full video she does do 20
She did it! 20🎉
Thanks, that means a lot
Teach threw the bills and everything 😂😂
Clearly see her go from fun to determined. She's going to conquer life!
The look at her teacher for approval afterwards 🥹
Slawomir's face at the end was priceless
I love how she did 20 and all of a sudden the girl filming kept saying it was 19. I hope the sweet dancer was paid in full for her amazing accomplishment ❤
She got 20 at the end
The instructor asks for 20.
That's when the bar was raised. And his Ballerina rose to that bar.
Wonderful. Amazing! Well Done Ballerina!
My thoughts exactly!! 😭🥹💖

The instructor looks like Matthew McConaughey

I can’t even do it half way
I cant even get up from being sat for too long
I knew she would do it. She is up to more than 20 consistently now. Bravo, sis.❤
That’s big improvement for two months!

yay im the 1k like🎉
She somehow looks so beautifully balanced and graceful while going for 20 turns .. Amazing
I'm your 4.1K like.
That’s how I would assume she would look. Not a hideous uncoordinated slob. lol.
That’s the only way you’ll be able to get to 20, the balance and the grace to get that balance. Kudos.

Honestly, I think she should have gotten that $1000 that literally looked like 20.It was so good I could never
I can’t believe she did 19 you should give it to her she deserves it ❤😊
She did 20 at the end
That $1000 is a week's worth of shoes
🤣maybe a month
Don’t they get free shoes when they’re in a company?

I think she should still get it she tried so hard🥺
She got it (I watched the longer version of this video). The money throwing scene at the end of that video is satisfying too! 😂

The fact that it's only spins is crazy because it looks so angelic😍

I can see how hard she was pushing and even I’m pretty damn proud of her 💖
Es muy genia esta piba!! Su cuerpo cambia automáticamente cuando danza
I’m a gymnast and I keep trying to do pirouettes and on a good day I can only do like 3
This is incredible
I thought when the teacher learned the amount of money you'll give, he'll said "okay i'll do it" but instead asked "who's paying?" Lmao
If he could do it/be in that form he most likely wouldn't be teaching ;)
