All I can think about is-....ROMEO!!!!!!
Lol... I was 13 dancing a pointe solo. I did a cambré back, and my tutu strap snapped leaving me totally exposed in front of the entire competition audience. Mortifying. I kept dancing (holding up my tutu) until someone stopped my music and said I could come back later to try again 😂☠️
Honestly these are never ending. I’ve been dropped on stage as the lilac fairy. Forgot choreo three times (lol what the heck). Fell front and center. Had another shoulder strap break. The list goes on.. 😂😂😂😂😂
I saw this happen to a dancer in a performance of Rite of Spring, by the Pina Bausch company: both tiny straps went at once, poor girl, so the skimpy costume just flopped down altogether.
@@ashleymcmichael Hahahahahahahahahaha oh gosh 🤣😳
Ikr it just goes on forever, once my friend completely mixed up the choreography, my pointe shoes snapped, my tights ripped down the middle, it goes on😂😂😂
I would gone into witness protection! OMG props to you for continuing, that is so brave!
A girl who was doing the harlequin in nutcracker actually had a black and white costume and the black legwarmers were part of it. We didn’t get to have a costume rehearsal so she couldn’t have known...one of the leg warmers started falling down during the performance and it was actually scary because it got to the point where it was covering the box of her pointe shoes. Luckily, she was a smart girl and managed to kick them off into the wings during a jump I think. Nobody from the audience noticed but everyone backstage including my ballet teacher were scared and horrified. She could’ve seriously injured herself if she slipped on pointe.
My worst stage story is, forgetting the order of the steps... So you can imagine doing the correct steps but in the wrong order 😢😢😢
Ballroom dancer here! I have a few... two are mine, one is my ex partner's.
1: I was dating my dance partner at the time and we got into a HUGE argument in the wings about something unrelated to dancing. I was so pissed I forgot the routine. It was supposed to be a sensual rumba. Luckily, in ballroom you can follow your partner and improvise. People who didn't know didn't know, but people who knew us could tell we'd had a screaming match backstage.
2: My partner and I were dancing quickstep at a pretty big showcase in a well-known theater. For context, if a woman forgets her part she can follow and fake; this doesn't work as well for the guy since he's tub lead, but he could improvise. My partner entirely forgot the choreography and the stage was too small to improvise. I had to whisper every step into his ear and we were slightly late on every step.
1: Before the partner from story 1 started dancing with me, he danced with another girl who preferred to just wear embellished bra tops for Latin
He forgot to take his watch off at a competition, and it got caught on a tassel on her bra without either of them knowing. When he opened his arm, her bra ripped off 😳
Omg that last section that you said sounds horrible
my worst stage moment was running across the stage because i forgot my position
Same!
@@wondergirl2642 lol i think almost everyone has done it but it still embarrassing
When I was little I was looking in the audience and I saw my grandma so of course I stoped and waved IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DANCE!!!!!
My worst stage experience was in a dress rehearsal, I was supposed to hop up onto a platform that had styrofoam decor to look like a rock. My foot caught the edge so I ended up falling and breaking rock plus getting banged up myself. It was mostly just embarassing.
Seriously had my pas de deux partner drop me on my knee from his shoulder. My knee took 3 surgeries, and it is still not right
😮
@@elissa-nicolebrown9523 destroyed any chance of being good enough to teach, which is all I ever wanted
satunaghost that’s terrible :(
if teaching is your dream, i think you should try your hardest to make it happen, even with your knee. i’m sure there are ways to teach that aren’t so demanding on it, meaning you might still be able to fulfill that. i really hope that it gets better x
Omg are you okay?!
@@satunaghost Oh my by accident or on purpose?
ahhh once I was performing a solo at a comp, the stage was only painted wood, no tarket so was very slippery, I stepped onto my block to do an arabesque turn, slipped and completely belly flopped and face planted all in one go. I laugh about it now but at the time I was so upset 😭😂😳
One of the girls at my studio went on stage with her warmup shorts on underneath her costume... It was a costume with a short skirt...😂😂😂
Is it safe to say that I have done so many of these. One painful memory I have is that I was at a dance competition and I was competing in one of the troupe dances I’m in and one other studio had the same music as us and I couldn’t find my team and ran on stage thinking that they have already gone on stage. And it turns out they were backstage waiting and I was dancing in this random troupe who has the same music as us.
Omg this is horryifing, sorry but it cracked me up
AzulM That’s fine 😂😂 it is funny looking back on it
A girl and me who were in a dance together kept getting confused about who crosses over who on stage and so we literally crashed right into each other during the dance! Luckily we were in the back and the audience couldn't tell, but the whole rest of the dance I was mortified!
The period with the white leo oh noooooooooo. That poor girl.
my horror story is not a ballet one but musical. We were doing this very exhausting number where at the end we had to do a pose that shows a bit of who you are. So i chose to do a tilt and the moment my leg was up in the air i heard my pant crack. At first i was kind of scared that the audience would notice but later i could laugh about it😂🤣
Omg noooo
I live in a small town and we where doing a charity concert. one of the dancers hurt her ankle the day before the show and was unable to dance so we had to completely re arrange all the formations, we had something that was half decent by the time we had to go on stage. to set the scene the room was filled with old ladies. The act before us went off stage the curtains closed at the lights went out and where meant to come back on when the curtains opened. THEY DIDN'T. we performed our entire tap dance in the dark on an extremely slippery stage, apart from it being dark the dance went perfectly. 2 of the boys in this dance where doing a dance of their own right after and had a 30 second quick change (the time it took for the mc to introduce them) they started to get changed when we heard over the mc that the old ladies where demanding that we did it again, so they got back in the costume for the group dance they sorted out the lights and we went to go on stage. after many issues with the music starting and stopping or glitching out completely we finally went on. as we where coming on stage I trod on the curtain at the back of the room and fell flat on my bum, I got up and continued to dance only for our music to stop half way through I became so flustered that I went to the old formation at times. we completed the rest of the dance with only the noises of our shoes. after we came off stage the owner of another local studio came up to me saying I was the reason that the lights went out and the music didn't work all because I fell over. happy ending my dance teacher shouted everyone lunch at the fanciest local restaurant to thank us for handling the situation so maturely.
Wow, that owner sounds horrible, it's obviously not your fault 😊
Whenever I think ahead about what’s next in the dance I forget but when it actually gets up to the part my body automatically remembers
This happened to me when I was 5 and I'm now in my 40s; I had a tiny role in the musical "Gigi"(I played the young Gigi and dancing for no more than 30 seconds) at the theatre Royal in my home town. On the very last night we were all on stage taking our bows, and me being the youngest was right at the end of the line, and the curtain came down on my head. I was so embarrassed, but the audience thought it was really cute and I got a few cheers from the crowd!
once in a nutcracker performance i was in the opening of act 2 and then had to run off stage because the only time i had to switch costumes, shoes, and hair accessories was the Spanish dance, and the elastic ribbons on my left pointe shoe got stuck, so i put my flat shoe on over my pointe shoe and went on stage. That was the worst.
Love the new intro and editing style!!🥺 your reactions are hilarious Claudia💗🩰😍
AWWW LOVE YOU!
I once got to the theatre and realised I’d left the shoes I needed for Act 1 at home. Had to drive home and got back to the theatre, literally ran through stage door as overture was ending. Still had to do hair and make-up and get into costume and be on stage for the opening of act 1 scene 2. Got on stage in costume, with fake lashes and lipstick, hair not done as per my character but at least with a hasty ribbon tied, with said shoes on. Had to run back to dressing room between a scene to curl my hair and finish make up. Stage manager was NOT impressed. And that was the performance my agent came to watch. And I ran through the parking lot towards the stage door as she was running from her car to the theatre door and she saw me sans make-up, costume and hair 30 seconds before the theatre doors closed. AND I got a speeding fine for my rushed drive back home for the stupid shoes.
Once I was performing a trio at a competition and the music stopped 30 seconds to the end! The judge told us afterwards that he knew the song and he was singing it when it stopped 😂
Not related to my performance disasters, but I've been going through a rubbish time mentally recently and your lovely outlook on life and ballet always cheers me up :) keep being you ♡
Awww love you beautiful! I wish you brighter days ahead
@@ClaudiaDeanWorld Thank you so much!!!
I had a 45-second quick change and wasn’t careful enough. Halfway through my second dance someone yelled my name from the wings and tugged on their shirt. I looked down and half of my top had rolled up. My left boob was just hanging out. For the rest of the season artistic staff always reminded me it was a “family show” 😂
OMG 😳, so embarrassing 😣
My horror story:
We were doing a Russian dance and the girl right beside me accidentally threw her shoe right in front of the audience and I heard her secretly giggling (I was also laughing on the inside like crazy).
i do irish dance and some of the moves are very similar or follow a similar pattern so i've had muscle memory take over but IN THE WRONG DANCE 🤦🏻♀️
These stories reminded me of being put into the wrong class when I was little and being too shy to complain/ it was modern dance and so not what I wanted to do!! I hated it but went along, finally they realized and put me into my beloved
ballet. Just torture!! Does that count?
Ha! Thanks Claudia!! It’s good to talk about all this, great therapy❗️❤️
Claudia bursting into song midway through the video might have been the best thing I have ever witnessed.
This was at a dance competition...I don't know how or why but my sister's friend started a leap way too close to edge of the stage and just landed into one of the speakers.
I was 8 years old and we had to do a recital as butterflies. The costume creator failed in understanding a group of 5-9-year-olds should not have chiffon wings on a leotard and antenna headbands. Why? It does sound cute - until they do the first time doing a turn and get entangled with everyone else wings. lol, the dance called for us to go under someone's arms and then turn and do it again with someone else. Let's just say the dance was a scream for the audience and the choreagrapher chased the costumer across the theater with a piece of chiffon & one of the headbands and made them experience it. lol
There was one time during recital when this girl had a quick change between her hip hop dance and our ballet dance. The rest of us were ready onstage waiting for her and the tech crew started the music and opening the curtain before the girl with the quick change was ready. We didn't really have a choice so we had to start the dance. Eventually, the curtain got lowered and we got to start it again, but my oh my was that stressful.
where I live men can't come and see our dance performances and it's only for women, so they always check everyones bag so no-one takes their cell phones in with them, since they are not allowed to take pictures or videos either. Once they forgot to check the bags and let everyone in, we were about to go on stage when they asked everyone to go out so that they could take their phones and they almost canceled our show bc of a mistake they made themselves. :(
... where do you live? Why can’t men attend?
@@blah7983 Iran, bc of the laws here and religion stuff. Which no one's really happy about
Hi I love your channel so much you have helped me so much in starting ballet!
When I was really young like 7 I was a child in the nutcracker. At my studio the sled me and my “mom” for the show had curved metal. Her hoop skirt got caught but the person pushing teh sled didn’t realize so he pushed her over and we both fell flat on our faces
Hi Claudia! I love your vids, I’ve been waiting for this for forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Top 3:
3) In dress rehearsal, in a dance where we were wearing street shoes, mine came off on a kick and hit the girl in front of me in the back of the head. For the performance, she insisted on checking my laces before we went on stage LOL
2) In a group dance, the music cut out part way through. Someone in the group started counting out loud and we kept going. When the music came back on, we were still on the music!
1) I was in a ballet that was only two people, me and a partner, and there were 2 quick changes in it for the girl. We performed it successfully many times. The second quick change was literally just back in to the first costume to come back on stage for the last 30 seconds of the piece, do like 2 steps, pose and then take the bows. I missed the cue and I just stormed out of the wings and back to the dressing room, I was so mad at myself, and left my partner on stage to take the curtain call alone! The stage manager had to come find me and drag me back to the stage to bow. I didn't want to at all, I was so embarrassed and mad at myself for missing it.
This is not ballet when I was smaller I was doing my Irish ☘️ dancing dance but I forgot all the dance so I dis what ever move like this really hard move that I saw the older girls do all the time and I did it perfectly but at the end I won first place because the judge thought 💭 I was. So smart to keep dancing than just running of stage and crying
I was about 8 or 7
I went to a school where the finale of each show, the dancers of the entire school would all do one big dance. So the oldest group would get on stage and start the dance, and as the dance evolved, the younger groups would come in until everyone was on stage. So once you get on, you don't come off, which meant that as the song would progress, the choreography would be easier and easier, as the levels of those coming on stage would be lower. Each group would form a row and the the 4 year olds would be in the first row and everyone would be doing the same choreography which meant that us teenagers at the time would be doing the same boring waves or whatever the 4 year olds where doing. My class got bored and literally stopped dancing. The problem was, do I stop or do I continue, as at one point I was the only one in my row that did not stop. And when they stopped dancing, they didn't assume a nice position to stay in, instead they were slouched and really looked annoyed.
Claudia, you should check out Kathryn Morgan experience with the Miami City Ballet. She posted a video a day or two ago.
I watched it and it was heart breaking😭
I watched it too it was 😔
Once I was at a dance show and one of the older girls was doing a duet with a boy. We only had an hour left before it started and they were rehearsing the dance backstage. He threw her in a lift and she was supposed to land on two feet but then she slipped, sprained her ankle and got her hair stuck in one of the buttons on his shirt. Long story short she went to hospital and I had to replace her in the dance as I picked up choreography really fast but that meant I only had a 40 second change from my contemporary number. she came back from the hospital and picked up my leotard for the duet because she thought it was hers. We had to send the next number on and try find my leo. Luckily we went on stage at the end and we got first place for the over 12’s ballerina duet partners. As a result of this, they moved me into a more technical group at the studio and I went in more older and harder performances. I also got a solo against one of the older dancers and I came 2nd whilst she came 3rd. They were so proud of me that I became the head dancer in all the upcoming group performances. All I can say from this day is ty to the girl who broke her ankle. 😂
I've seen so many horrible things happen to my friends with the music and light on the last performance we had, but I was not on stage for any of those, my horror story is not when dancing on stage but when playing the guitar. So I'd cut my finger before the show so I had a bandaid on it and while I was playing, my bandaid kind of came off and got stuck in the strings and I could barely play I was freaking out till I finally managed to get it off. It didn't take that long.
I love the way you are yourself in your videos!!❤️❤️❤️
Hey Claudia!!!! 🩰 I’m just here to say that I love your videos and the new intro and editing style makes them that much better! 💖❤️
Vidéo suggestion: Audition/exam horror stories? You learn acro w/ the rybka twins!?
a couple years ago, i was a character in my studio’s show, and i had a dance kind of centred around me, with other younger people in the dance too. i had this really tedious costume to put on, and because it was a dress rehearsal, it could still be modified a little bit, so i got told to go to the craft room so they could fix something on it, so i did, then i heard my music and realised that i was supposed to be onstage, by myself at this point, so i sprinted through the backstage corridors onto the stage, in just my bright red leotard and my tights rolled up, luckily the music stopped and i got to do it again, (still out of costume and with bare feet haha) but i was about 8 counts of 8 late onto the stage.
Love you Claudia!!!!
Hi Claudia! Remember me from your coaching class? I’m Savannah!
Im a rhythmic gymnast, I was doing my ball routine at a competition and I was doing a throw from a walkover, I threw too far and the ball almost hit my coach 😬 (She was a judge on the panel)
I HAVE MY FIRST POINTE CLASSS TODAY
jon master congratulations! That’s so exciteing😊
Yaaay!!!
Congrats!!🎉
Omg congrats
I can’t wait to get on pointe
My favourite is this one - very classical, slow, melancholic Sylphide-like mood to Jean Sibelius' "Valse Triste" - the stage in blue light, all of us in romantic white tutus, and I had the solo part.
It was our turn directly after the break and I remember I saw the children playing on stage as the curtains were down, although they weren't allowed to, but before someone could get them off, they dropped something, don't know any more what.
I forgot about them and concentrated for my solo. I did a long sequence of bourres en pointe and ended up in front of the group and prepared for a great arabesque turn. To my misfortune, I managed to hit exactly the spot where the children dropped - whatever they dropped - during the break, so halfway round my turn, I felt my foot - en pointe - slipping away, so before I could even panick I catched my fall by dropping out of the pose - which didn't look very romantic :D
To make things worse, I got instantly mad for a second and lost it - and shouted a big loud "SCHEIßE" right into the Audience (that's german for "shit" ) - OK I managed to go on with the coreography in a second afterwards and pull myself back together, but this was maybe the best way to completely destroy the nice calm and romantic mood of the whole piece :D
That's now more than 25 years ago but I still have to laugh about that.
My second favourite one was during a pas the trois - more modern piece on Elvis Presley songs but en pointe and it was a lot of fun. There were three groups with each a boy and two girls on stage and my group was on one side - suddendly I realised that the other girl from my group was too early on the music - and I tried to tell her as unremarkably to the audience as possible that she has to slow down a bit - while I did a slow soutenu. Unfortunately, I concentrated so much on trying to tell her that I wandered off, towards the curtain, and - as I finished the turn, everything was pitch black because I managed to wrap myself up in that damned thing :D - my tutu must have come too close, so it sticked to the fabric and dragged the curtain with it, all around me.
That stuff might be embarrasing when it happens, but now, I still have to laugh about that and myself - shit happens, just take it easy ...
I love coach me world and I love your CZcams channel so much!💕
This didn’t effect me, but one year I was a soldier in The Nutcracker. The mice were onstage late because the teacher forgot to tell them to go backstage. The song was already about 30 seconds in, so Clara just had to pretend they were there. Luckily, no one noticed and the rest of the Battle Scene was really good.
wouldn’t they know when to run off or when to go back on?
@@angus807 They were little, and the teacher forgot to bring them backstage.
Once i had to come back from stage when the lights were out, five seconds to do it. I missed my way out and the lights were about to be on again. I was still on stage like a silly, triying to find my way out.
I was in a short dance that was so simple that I didn't take it very seriously. That was the only time I blacked out on stage for two steps. It was a group dance so I picked it up quickly. Big lesson for me: always take it seriously and concentrate even if I feel the dance is "too easy".
One time, I ripped my costume. Thank god it was the dress rehearsal and it was fixed in time, but for all the pictures I was in a completely different costume than everyone else.
Once the music stopped about 2/3 of the way through the Snow in the nutcracker and we just kept going kind of humming it to ourselves. On one hand I'm super proud of us for still being super together and in sync and not stopping, but it was also super awkward because the silence meant you could hear all the noise and buzzers from the volleyball game in the gym next door to the auditorium
this is nothing compared to the other ones but one time last year in a performance for the sleeping beauty i was a child in the hunt scene and i began to run off stage the wrong way and then ran back and nearly banged into the principal artist 😳 i was 12 btw
I had a 15 second quick change from like a shirt and tight pants to a crop top and shorts I didnt make it soI went on stage with no shoes on lmaoo
I was put into a Cinderella show ONE WEEK before opening night because someone dropped out last minute. I had three rehearsals to learn everything and it was going so well, until the last night when they filmed the show and I got the timing wrong, so while the entire corps was running to a line in the middle off the stage, I ran to the back of the stage ready for some grand jetes and just stood there in the corner facing the back wall for a solid 10 seconds as if I was a toddler being punished 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I managed to nip off stage and join the far end of the line, I was meant to be in the middle, so when you watch back the DVD, they just did a really awkward zoom on the first two dancers so they couldn't tell I wasn't there, so embarrassing!
My worst stage story has to be when I was in a group number that was super synchronous and geometric. I must have practised it a 1000 times and hadn't gotten it wrong for weeks. However, the number started off with a double turn and I somehow (to this das I don't know how I even managed that) turned the opposite direction of everybody else. It is the weirdest thing when you turn and everybody's faces turn towards you. The worst part was it being a double turn so I knew it would happen again. My brain stopped working for the rest of the number as I was embarassed like never before, but luckily my body remembered the choreography and the rest went well xD
OMG this was awesome! Years ago when I was about 15 years old I was on stage with my dance class in our recital and ALL of us, there were 6 of us, forget the exact same part so 3 sets of 2 did something different at the same time. Our teacher was so mad she was yelling in the wings lol. It was the first and last time I forgot my dances. 🤣🤣🤣
I was a soldier and Arabin corps in The Nutcracker last year. In my studios Arabian, there are eight girls in the corps, four on one side, four on the other. And we hold these really long scarves that go all the way across the stage. My friend, and the girl who held the scarf with me, were in the second row. Our costumes have these coins all over them and they have head pieces made out of the same faux coins. When we went to our knees to bring the scarf to the ground, one of the coins was in just the right place to stab my knee. It hurt so bad that I got up to early making my friend think it was time to get up. At the same time my friends sleeve got cought on her headpiece that was bobby pinned to her head, and she couldn't get her sleeve off, so she ripped her headpiece off bobby pins and all! Not to mention it was Friday the 13th! So yeah that's my story hope you enjoyed :)
my wrost stage story was when my class was doing curtain call and then the girl next to me peeped!
My worst stage experience was last year during my ballet routine at the concert. I was doing side leaps with Riley and she was on the wrong side of the stage and I kept telling her '' You're on the wrong side'' and of course there were microphones to telling the audience
When she was talking about her partner dropping her on her head. I'm like "yep, totally can relate...except my partner is a horse" 🤣🤣🤣
My back had been burting for quite a while but I kept dancing, assuming it wasn't too big of a deal, but the day before dress rehersal i found out that I had two bulged disks and a fracture and my doc told me if i kept dancing I would need spine surgery. That was great. 😐😐😐.
Last year in my modern dance my foot thong flew off and HIT another girl in the FACE mid dance, and after the dance I had to run back onto the stage to get it...in front of everyone🤦♀️
We had a power surge in the middle of nutcracker. The lights went off for a second or two and the music totally stopped. I was Clara and in the middle of a pas with the prince. We kept dancing, but then heard yelling from the wings to come off. Music is still off. Then it came on like 16 counts earlier and we tried to nonchalantly walk back out and took it from where the music was playing.
This was acting but it still works. I ran on stage, tripped down the stair platform thing that was built on the stage, landed in front of the boy I was running up to, we made eye contact with me on the ground, he made this expression of "Oh crud", and we both broke character trying not to laugh.
One time I was running backstage barefoot (because my street dance number required it) and (unfortunately) there was a piece of wood, with a really sharp thing* on it, just like lying on the floor (I don’t really know what was the purpose of that crap)
I stepped straight up on it and had to do the rest of the number with a deep cut on my foot 🤡
*I think it was a hook or a pin because the wood had a fabric attached to it but I don’t really know lol
This is my horror story: I was at a competition doing my ballet solo. 15 seconds through my solo, my music stopped! So I did basically the whole thing without music. They let me go again after, but then I was doing a pas de chat, hit my feet together, and one of my shoes fell off! Let’s just say that was NOT my day! 😂
Hi Alyssa!!!!!
Your solo was SOOOOO amazing still, you are one of the best dancers I know!! ❤️
Emily Stewart awww!! YOU are the best dancer I know 🥰
Thanks! But NO, YOU are
speaking of the prix de lausanne, there was an accident with the wrong music this year :o it must've been horrifying :(
When I did the Nutcracker when I did my trick I almost fell on my face! 😂
Once I went on stage with pink ballet shoes in a group where we had to wear black ones...
Three stories:
1 - We had sticks in a dance and had a little bit where we'd sword fight and during the concert one of the sticks snapped in half and flew across the stage. These weren't flimsy either they were proper strong pieces of wood.
2 - During a musical I was in we had three on stage injuries: A dislocated knee (to one of the main characters), a dislocated hip (to featured ensemble) and a sprained ankle (featured dancer) and all the injuries happened in consecutive performances.
3 - I had a tap duet and my entrance was run on and jump. During the performances when I landed the jump I just fell over
Getting totally disoriented from the lights and performing part of the dance to the upstage curtain instead 😂
I was in theater and I was working sound for a production in high school. This was ages ago so I was using film score CDs for all the music. It was at least 4 OSTs that I had to go back and forth, changing them frequently. On opening night, one of our lead actors skipped FOUR PAGES! It was a mad scramble for us in the booth to figure out where exactly he jumped so we could prepare for the next sound/light cues
1. The music went off and on all the time and we had to dance through it
2. When we had to do 2 jumps I did only 1 but I was in the middle so it could have been on purpose
3. The stage was so bad and tiny we had to dance in front of it. It was outside and on cobblestone
I almost went onstage for SWAN LAKE with black leg warmers on, someone came over to rip them off right on the music cue for the swans entrance but since then going onstage in warm ups is a recurring nightmare
I was doing a lyrical dance when I was 10 and ran to the wrong side of the stage AND I was at the front so I sprinted to the other side of the stage.
I had a performance where I was doing Sugar Plum variation. They used the dancer's music as "house music" between pieces. Well Sugar Plum happened to come on right when I was supposed to dance so I started dancing. About 16 counts into the music they CUT OFF MY MUSIC... while I was dancing. I did the rest of the piece in silence. I ended up having the biggest standing ovation of the night. Ha!
Never forgot any choreography onstage. Such muscle memory had my back and only had to improv in nutcracker when one person was wayyy behind n the music during the party scene. I was clara and was supposed to be doing a solo but I couldnt go before I got the nutcracker, so I waited and then just danced where the music was and took out the 8 counts before that wouldn’t go with the music.
Once I was performing the a weird version of the nutcracker and I was Arabian and I came out of a box and claras mom was supposed to open the door at the end and she was in her own little world and I opened the door for myself!😂 we all live and learn
my music stopped half way, it only played for about 12 seconds . EMBARRASSING .love u so much Claudia
I'm loving your CDW Powerband nails 😍💓
I went out on stage with warm up booties and our team jacket on... first ever championships as well. I managed to notice the weird slippy-ness under my feet and frantically took the warm up gear off and skidded back into position. Judge must've been looking down (the audience definitely weren't... got LOADS of laughs hahaha) because I still managed to win :)
My worst stage moment was when I was doing my first ever solo on stage... and the music skipped 2 times. I cried sooooooooo mcuh afterwards and what makes it even better is that one of my dance teachers took a photo of me and my dancing friend before we both competed and I had lipstick all over my teeth. I was devastated. That was 2 years ago and my Mum said that we are not going back to that competition again anytime soon.
I forgot the entire ballet solo and had to improvise the entire thing. When we were lined up to see who had won the comp, the girl next to me refused to leave to go to the loo, so she had an accident in front of the whole audience. Surprisingly, I won the gold medal. I have also gone on with leg warmers on with a tutu. Ballet teacher not impressed at all.
I was a gymnast and I would forget my beam routine all the time at meets even though I practiced it a lot. But because it was so ingrained in my mind I didn’t really have to think about the movements and sometimes I would catch myself in one part and be like uhhh what comes next and then remember. It literally feels like you forgot for like five seconds but looking back at videos it isn’t even noticeable and it looks like nothing happened. My friend and I would always do this. Love your videos and hope you do a part two!!
My last dance recital ever I forgot a section of the tap group I was in and just stood there with a big smile waiting for myself to find where we were. I was in the front. There were only 4 of us. It was the only time in my entire life I've ever forgotten something on stage and it haunts me to this day
I watch ur all video. I wish I could learn ballet n some stuffs frm u. U r really amazing 🤩🤩🔥🔥
I sprained my ankle onstage halfway through my classical solo in YAGP causing my shoe to fall off and all the directors of ballet schools across the world saw as well as everyone in the audience and the other competitors in the wings. I finished it really badly with a section of three double tours 😭 and hobbled off after my bows. It Was horrible!
When I had a dress reharsal we didn't know when we had to be on stage (they didn't go with the plan they gave us), and we started to do my hair, but then the teacher called my group and I had to come on stage and dance with one braid and the other half of my hair in an improvised pigtail (everyone else had their hair in a bun or in the right hairstyle for the performance) and I also hadn't got enough time to put the right costume on (because we had to finish the first braid before I could go on stage), and all the other dancers who weren't in the dance were watching us😂😂 Luckily that was just the dress rehersal, but I got so afraid that I would have the same problem at the performance, I even dreamed of it😂
I had a pointe solo as a fairy but was also in group dances (in another role, on flats), and had several quick costume changes. We had agreed that they wait to start my solo music until I was in the wings and then they didn't wait. Heard the intro playing while I was in my underwear lol! I had to go on with half my costume missing and my pointe shoes not properly tied. Was pretty upset when people commented about my ribbons..
I skipped a part of my solo on accident once so I repeated a section so I would be on the right counts
Late comment.
I'm not a ballet dancer (used to for like a year when I was six).
I do classical Indian dance (bharatanatyam).
We wear these anklets with bells around our ankles (kinda like those Christmas bells) when performing so we can hear our beats clearly when dancing, otherwise it's hard for us to hear it onstage with the blasting music and audience reactions, etc.
During my first solo debut performance, and during the biggest dance piece (which was 25 minutes long non-stop), the anklet on my right foot came so loose in the beginning of the 2nd half of the long dance, it'd practically fallen off. And the thing is, I only noticed it in the last 5 minutes of the dance, so I had to dance around it and make sure not to step on the loose ribbons otherwise I'd trip flat. My mom, teacher, grandparents were horrified and worried that I'd injure myself. Somehow, I made it through the whole piece without anything happening.
And we tied the anklets much more tighter for the rest of the show lol.
Thankfully this was just a Nutcracker Dress Rehearsal. But one of my snow entrances was the infamous sauté attitudes en tournant. I had to be center stage by my first sauté. Instead of thinking...okay run in first and THEN start the en tournants I tried to blast my body from the wings to center stage on the first sauté. I ended up completely missing the floor and body slamming on my hip. Not only did I end up with the biggest bruise on my hip the entire Nutcracker run but I was also deemed the name the "Flopper Flake" 😂❄☠
This is musical theatre rather than dance per se, but I know an actress whose pants fell down during a number where the character was standing on a chair, AND in a heavy rubber mask so she couldn't see! :O :O :O And it was an ensemble number so she couldn't just improvise and make a thing out of it; she had to pretend it hadn't happened and keep going while trying not to trip. I admire her so much for getting through that without going to pieces!!!
SO excited for Christmas!!!!!! ❤️
someone should take a wooden prop from me during my Allegro solo so I could complete the jump diagonal. But the person had forgotten that and did not wait in his place .. there was no more time, I had to stand in the corner. So I just tossed the thing in the wings and it crashed loudly on the floor 😂
it wasn't on stage, but during a dress rehearsel. We were doing an emotional dance, and halfway through it I felt my skirt pop open and it started sliding down. So I just kicked it off and finished the dance in only my leotard... so embaresing but so funny aswell!
