    Most beautiful part of this video is the joy in her face! Your eyes are sparkling and your whole face lights up when you dance. Stunning to see that passion!

    I did ballet when I was really little... I quit, but I loved drawing pointe shoes when I was little. I was so obsessed. Though I do not take ballet lessons nor train I still love watching other people with this amazing talent.

    My dream company is the Houston ballet. whenever I feel like giving up on ballet, I watch this video. It reminds me what I'm working for. It also reminds me to have fun while I'm dancing and stop taking it so seriously. I hope to one day to be able to be in the Houston ballet and become as amazing as Aria. She dances with so much happiness and grace.

    This made me cry, I miss ballet so much and loved how her face is full of joy!

  • @katieasammy
    @katieasammy Před 9 lety +29

    When I watch this, I'm not so much in love with all the perfection of her art form. Although it's amazing, but as a fellow dancer I'm more in awe of how happy she looks while she dances. Her joy is clear on her face and I think that's what we should all be working towards besides perfection.

    I cry everytime I watch this. Aria´s smile when she´s dancing is just so beautiful and inspiring... you can easily notice how much she loves ballet and that´s what I love the most about being a ballerina. Almost five years since this video was uploaded, it´s still my favorite.

  • @readmore3634
    @readmore3634 Před 7 lety

    I've been to 1 ballet....and was the only one (in our group) who enjoyed it....well, maybe I should say appreciated it. I love to watch professionals do what they do....weather it's a dancer or a doctor....the best of the best entertains me. The second these dancers move....I can tell they've put in a LOT of time and dedication. To totally commit to anything is a sacrifice to be sure....but those who succeed are a minority. It must be grueling, hard work to get to this level. I totally appreciate these dancers showing how graceful a human can be on a completely solid surface. Thank you so much Aria Alekzander....

  • @saragurrola5907
    @saragurrola5907 Před 10 lety +3

    I love how she looks so happy and healthy. I remember watching a recent documentary on a certain prima ballerina from the Kirov theatre in Russia. She looked gaunt, tired, and depressed. I don't know if that's just her trying make it in a career she didn't really want, or just the way the instructors work their students. Anyways, it always pleases me to see people actually HAPPY with their performance careers, or any careers for that fact.

  • @VreiynStar
    @VreiynStar Před 7 lety +25

    Aria Alekzander you are my two year old's favorite ballerina. She doesn't want to watch anyone else. She tries to copy you all the time. And she says, again again again, every time we watch you. She can't even say ballerina fully yet, allrina LOL but she knows she loves you.

      If you love to dance, they i say go for it! If you have another passion elsewhere, then go for that! You'll never get far watching other people all your life.

    I love ballet. I love to train for the exams. I prepare myself more for the ballet exams than for the school tests. But when I talk in ballet at school everybody tells me it's very easy and I should not be proud to dance balle. They tell me that I should forget the Ballet.But when I see this video I remember that the ballet is fantastic and that if I like it I will never have to give up.

    • @malamitsaagrdpl2301
      @malamitsaagrdpl2301 Před 3 lety

      Me too. They say to me that it's too easy and I have to stop it but I love dance and anyone will say to me what will I do. If you like it, don't stop it!!!!

  • @gaiiawho
    @gaiiawho Před 9 lety +1

    I really can't stop watching it! I'm enchanted by her smile, her perfection... I practice classical ballet, and this video makes me count the days that separate me from my lesson!

  • @collectorofcats294
    @collectorofcats294 Před 8 lety +750

    Anyone who says that Ballet is easy are just flat out idiots. Ballet dancers work just as hard as atheletes. I believe that it is a physical sport as well as a beautiful form of performing arts.

    • @stephenmullins5726
      @stephenmullins5726 Před 8 lety +45

      +Kathryn Mitchell I watched a video recently. I can't recall the name of it but it was a physiotherapist who used to work with NFL players but now works with ballet dancers. He ranted that they often get up, work out for a few hours, then rehearse for another six hours, and then repeat this 5-6 days a week. He said flat out, ballet dancers are more athletic than professional football players.

    • @jemmaproductions5220
      @jemmaproductions5220 Před 8 lety +18

      +Stephen Mullins That is SO awesome and SO true! Ballet is one THE most hard sports (and an art. So I guess it's a spart!) in the world! At least in my opinion and I'm sure many others.

    To all the people complaining they are too old to start. You arent! anyone can do ballet. Thats what the classes are for. Go for it. Those of you who said you've done it before but quit it doesnt matter you can still go back you'll probably pick it up faster this time round. Keep calm and stretch!

    • @tahnrithird2429
      @tahnrithird2429 Před 6 lety +3

      i started ballet at 6. but i had to stop because idk if this is what i really want. it seems like whatever i do, my efforts weren't enough and i don't even appreciate this form of dance before because it looks like you are only hurting yourself for nothing. But when I grew up, i've realized that ballet is a beautiful form of art. Discipline and passion can make your thorns into flower during performances. But i feel too old to get back on the track. I'm hoping that someday, I can also grow like a rose as well as them.

    • @amaliabezdeleva1066
      @amaliabezdeleva1066 Před 4 lety

      If you start late ballet you'll never be a ballerina, you need to start at 11 years old (maximum) or at 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 years old.

    @ Keiti Kitty- I did the same exact thing as you; started at 5/6 stopped when I was 10, but I picked ballet up again at 14 and I fell in love with it. Needless to say, I am not great, but you don't have to be amazing or even good to enjoy yourself. I try to let myself laugh at my mistakes and remember I am just learning. Its fun, so just try to have fun and not worry too much.
