Mackenzie you neeeeeed to make a video on how you make skirts

I’m really not surprised when dancers have pain in various tendons, it is after all very physically demanding to dance, especially on pointe, and it’s also something human bodies aren’t made for. So sadly it’s only natural that it hurts from time to time. Be kind to your body, while dancing you’re pushing your body beyond what’s “normal” along with putting a lot of weight onto small areas and having your body in an unnatural alignment while dancing. Just take hips for example, it’s not natural for a human body to turn out the hips like a ballet dancer does, just like it’s not natural for a human to put their whole weight on the tip of the toes while arching their foot. Just be careful and be kind to your body so you can keep dancing for many years still. Anti inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen or naproxen or similar may help some if you’re able to take NSAID, it can both ease the pain and lessen the inflammation that is causing the pain. Topical things like tiger balm or liniment can help some against the pain so you can relax better which in turn makes it easier for your body to heal. I’m not a dancer, but I live with severe chronic pain and Hypermobility in my joints due to a genetic connective tissue disorder. At times I get inflammation for no reason really, only thing I could think of would be it coming from micro injuries due to my abnormal range of motion. I’ve never taken a dance class in my life but can turn my feet and hips out so much that my heels are in front of my toes. Anything beyond a normal range of motion can cause wear and tear regardless of it being genetic or something that has been trained over many years. I hope your Achilles’ tendon issues eases soon!

congrats on graduating !! i wish u luck on your journey with becoming a professional take care of yourself you inspire me so much 💞

I feel you with the achilles problem. For me it came up when I started dancing more than usual and I had several moth of physical therapy and icing but it finally went away. So there´s hope. But also I´m not on pointe anymore. I once tried pointe again when it got better but had to start all over again because it was so painful. :/

I'm so in love with your hair color

When you said “and then I am going to” there was an ad that said “get rid of period bloat for good” 😆

These types of videos are literally my favorite! Stay Beautiful Mackenzie ❤️

Your skirts are literally my favourite thing 😍 The red one is so nice tho

She’s always so inspiring❤️❤️

Sometimes I forget she’s an adult and I was very confused

Normal people: watch the entire video. Dancers: Skip to the section where you dance. (Doing exercises)

I love your videos. They inspired me to start ballet and now I can’t stop dancing it. Like wherever I go, I keep on doing the dance that I learn in ballet class and now I’m in grade 5 and I’m 10 years old. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ i love youuuu.

I am 30 years old, never been a dancer, and I canNOT handle how gorgeous your hair is. Like. Damn. Finishing the rest of the video now...

This is like her version of Kayla's Mak by teen vogue ✌

I had the same "injury" it's mostly from using this part a lot in ballet and it needs time and some physiotherapy to help it cause it's really hard to get rid of it

I also have Achilles tendinitis and it sucks 🥲 but when I use my pointe shoes I used elastic ribbons and didn’t tie it too tight and a little bit higher in the back so as my teacher would say I wouldn’t choke the Achilles, hope this helps!

I am currently out of dance classes for 6 weeks because I got severe tendonitis in the tendons that run along my tibia and am also getting physical therapy as well as taking anti-inflammatories and basically living with an icepack around my left calf. So: I feel you, girl, I feel you

this definitely lifted my spirits as an injured dancer on a loooong break lol

I Love your dancing you inspired me to work harder ❤❤❤ I got in the ABT summer Intensive And I got in the Atlanta ballet summer Intensive 6 weeks And I got in the artEmotion's pre-professional summer Intensive

If you are having muscle pain or anything like that apply tiger balm. It really helps!

Congratulations for graduating online school! I wish you the best in ballet, you are great😍

Congrats girl for graduating online school. Wishing you a great career ahead of you.

this video made me sooo happy! im sincere when i say this: i broke my toe during a school dance audition today... had a mental breakdown bc my school shut down bc of covid19. the directors didn't have a chance to see me dance before my toe decided to yeet itself. im still sad, but i feel rlly good rn ❤

ahhh who can not wait to watch the whole video?!?!? i want to spend a week with her lol i make vlogs too!!

Your vlogs are my favorite videos of yours! The skirt looks so good. 😍 Ps. Could you please make a "warm up routine for class" video

Congrats on graduating online school and wish you the best of luck in becoming a professional dancer! p.s., which ballet company are you considering to join and what is your dream company?

MACKENZIE YOUR SO INSPIRING

Mackenzie pleaseeeeeee do a video on how to become a ballet dancer (but like you at your level) pleaseeeeeeeeee

Loved it so much! U r such an inspiring dancer❤️⭐️

Haha that’s so funny I went to a summer intensive with Simon

I love this type of videos

Idk why but you in a ponytail with curly-ish hair reminds me of your 2016 videos!!

I got the notification to watch this while editing my day in the life of a dancer hahahahaha

I have tendinitis and it sometimes hurts when I go on point and it hurts when I do other types of dance and I tape my foot like that to

when you do have your business I need one of those skirts!!! Me and my dance class want to get our dance teacher a skirt etc. for her birthday in December, and this would be a perfect opportunity.

i suggest that perfume may cause acne to the skin, i felt like this was a cause for my facial acne :)

We luv u Mackenzie m, keep up the great work!! 🙂😘😊

Omg I'm so excited hahaha

Could you please share the work out you do? (10.20) I love your videos you're so inspirering❤❤❤

This is going to be a great video. I already know it. : )

U kinda look like max from stranger things

Yes I love this!

This is such an awesome video 🥰🥰

Hi Kenz! 💜I’m from Argentina I really love your videos 💞 You are an inspiration for me and having an interaction with you would be a dream come true. I hope someday it will happen 💓 love u

I love your video’s ❤️❤️

Where are your rings from? Also you are an amazing dancer and you inspired me to try ballet and I love it so thank you!! 💕💕

I have problems with my achilles and it's because my calf is understretched. My plies have never been great and coming out of leaps can be painful for me. Thankfully I mainly work in tap right now though

You are so beautiful😁 Ily❤️

Mackenzie please please please do an updated leotard collection video!!!

please can u make a video of how do u make ur skirts? 🥺

I literally ordered a red skirt from discount dance like a month ago and it’s still not here 😩😩 I kinda want to make my own skirts like you 😁 btw love ur vids ❤️❤️

I’m a dancer as well. Not nearly as good as good as you but I also had a problem with achilles tendinitis

I'm a martial artist but this is really cool. its also interesting that both martial artists and dancers seem to both deal with having to do alot of self care on their feet lol

I also make ballet skirts, I love making mine unquie, and that I am the only one that has it.

My birthdays tomorrow

She is very inspiring

Most of my classes are late in the day!! So annoying😭

I love ur style!

♥️ur the coolest

Perfect❤

Pleeaasee do a video on making skirts :)

I struggled with tendonitis as well. You should take some time off of dance so it can heal and do yoga and good stretching of the calfs.

i just saw carge the elephant nirvana and tyler the creator on your wall and i screamed i love you, ik im weird

J'ai un concours demain en solo est je stresse grave 😕😕😕 des conseils ??

What was the black stretch band you used in the intro? I’ve been looking for a new one and need some suggestions!

2:12 omg the ariana perfume OMG WE STAN ARIANA SHE IS THE FREAKING QUEEN OF EVERYTHING WE STAN STAN 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 cloud is a freaking bomb perfume ok byeee

Hang in there with ur feet! I have the same exact problem but with another tendon so I feel ur pain💙 also what program did u use for school?? I’m trying to find something like that

I also have the exact same Achilles Tendonitis as you. I’m a Cheerleader and gymnast so it’s painful after the jumps and tumbling is so painful especially as I’m in one of the higher levels 😭 I do practically the same treatments as you do so if any of you have any suggestions on what to do, please reply!

Ps. CONGRATULATIONS on your GRADUATION 📚📖📐📏

Where is the leo with the flowers on the top from?

I use the same perfume. Like fi you do too.

Yay

Who’s the Simon kid? And does Kenzie have a little sister?

Hiiii makenzie! Thank you so much for subscribing! at least i think that was you😂Love you so much!!!!

ooooOOOOoOooooOoo MACKENZIE GOT A BOYFRIEND

You’re so amazing and beautiful 😍 I feel like your arches have improved a lot!

Pls make a video of how u make ur skirtssssssss

The amount of times she held up a peace sign 👇

You maybe have Achilles tendinitis. So ur Achilles goes through a tube in your foot. If it gets agitated, it tightens, and then hurts.

I Love your videos ❤️❤️

OMG SIMON HAHA

You might have answered this in a previous Q&A but where do you dance? 🥰

Can you do a video on how you make your skirts like if you agree

Yassssss Queen

Yes that soup mmmmmm
