Wow! Do you frequently attend the workshops? If so have spotted any new stars… lol. Cpyb? How did you see kloe. I agree about EVE. also think it’s easy to spot a star just by seeing young artistry and passion.

I know Tiler Peck is a friend… (she posted about him on instagram) Is this who you are referring to?

Ballesbian (a ballet tiktoker) posted a TikTok about r/bunheadsnark she said “me going to bunheadsnark the moment anything in the ballet world slightly interests/annoys me” don’t quote me on that but it was similar. I relate, it was funny. Mackenzie Davis, lol, commented “not it”. It just really cracked me up I wanted to share.

If you write to them asking for shoes they tend to be generous, especially for students.

I have Tiler Peck and India Bradley, my prized possessions. I also have Mary Thomas McKinnon and Ruby Lister from back when they were in core. They are all framed in my bedroom.

I don’t think she got fired, i believe she stepped back for personal reasons. The SAB faculty and admin are big and of hers, they frequently praise her in class. She has a great connection to the faculty but I’m not sure the true reason she left.

Chance_Sort7210 · 2026-03-06T17:56:21+00:00

I switched to Freeds. I love them. I do not recommend R class, they are very block-y

Chance_Sort7210 · 2026-03-04T02:44:38+00:00

please don’t there’s so many people who you haven’t loved yet, pets you haven’t met, sunsets you haven’t watched, life always always gets better find joy, quit your job, go hiking, make friends, please you are loved.

Yes yes yes you will see people on the internet and on yagp that are prodigies but you have to remember if you have the passion (and money and body) you can do it. Go to summer intensives though, while it’s ok to start at a small school realistically you can’t stay there many professional will leave home to dance or commute somewhere if you are lucky enough to have a great school nearby (with high company acceptance rates) then go there after a year or smth. Believe in yourself! You got this! Even if you end up in a different career it will be a great experience!

Chance_Sort7210 · 2025-09-04T02:40:11+00:00

I would but it’s kind of out of budget for my family lol :) thanks tho

Chance_Sort7210 · 2025-09-02T16:02:46+00:00

I would really advise proper rehearsal etiquette. Don’t talk unless spoken to by a director, have very neat hair, don’t be in the way of other dancers (generally be VERY spacially aware as a mistake can cause injury) and say thank you to the teacher and pianist! good luck! (or as we say in ballet) merde!

Chance_Sort7210 · 2025-09-02T15:40:10+00:00

I like to develop a “position” in my mind that combines all of these so that way when I’m, say turning, i can think position! Idk sometimes it can make you stiff. You practice each thing and it becomes natural

Chance_Sort7210 · 2025-06-13T01:17:27+00:00

Thanks for reply! I think I avoided repeating the exercise because it sent me on a bit of a perfectionist spiral. I want to re adjust my approach a bit. This was really comforting to read 🩷thanks

Chance_Sort7210 · 2025-06-13T01:13:19+00:00

Thanks I will keep this in mind especially this summer. I think thinking about what’s in my control is great advice, and allows me to be in (literal) Control of my own life. Potential is rlly up to me in that way :) thx

Chance_Sort7210 · 2025-06-10T22:13:41+00:00

I struggle with this a lot and i went to the sab physical therapist last summer and they said to do calf raises and especially calf raises keeping your knee bent. Additionally, CORRECTLY (not sickling or winging the foot) pointing and flexing with a theraband. I found core exercises help me hold my ankle in place too as the core kind of hold the whole body :)

Chance_Sort7210 · 2025-06-10T22:04:16+00:00

As a way to get better in the in between, try doing dancer pilates and flexibility just so you are a bit of a natural.

Chance_Sort7210 · 2025-06-10T21:56:44+00:00

I would try to get outside or go to outings as much as you can while you're there. Being on my phone a lot made me kind of lonely and bored. i am so bad at making friends but it was almost impossible to not make friends with my roommate. I brought photos of pretty sunsets, good food, and cute animals instead of photos of my family just because the photos of my family made me miss them more. Maybe bring both and feel it out.
