Pointe shoe fear : ur heel popping off while performing

another fear: not being ready at time (if you have to change) and coming out from the wrong wing

Dancers biggest fears having their period during a performance Dancers biggest fears classroom edition

Ok. here are some of my dance horror stories if you are interested: 1. I was doing a nutcracker performance and I fell flat on my lower back and cried on stage. I was 11 2. I had a competitive solo one year and my headpiece fell out 2 out f the three performances 3. I was in a group with a song that was inappropriate so the teacher edited out the bad parts and at the competition, they played the wrong version 4. I had to improv a solo part during a group dance on stage because I forgot it

Once we were changing formation and i went into the wrong window and the girl in that window pointed me to to the right one and i had to run over to it late. And the my dance teacher was like "this is what rehearsals were for" all snarky. Like, i was 10, i made a mistake. And get THIS: the rehearsal i missed was for the bows, ending and the lighting which we don't even dance for at my studio. Plus when i asked people i knew in the audience they said they didn't even notice. I go to a different studio now btw, where i progress MUCH more and get better choreo.

One time I actually forgot like half of my variation and I just stood there on stage with a stupid face..oh god I swear I just wanted to cry😂

I HAVE A SHOW TODAY SO IM STRESSING OUT NOW 😂

Costume fear: When you spill food on your costume

I have a competition tomorrow (iceskating) and I relate so much😂😂 Edit: I actually finished last bc I fell twice but it was still a lot of fun and in the beginning it went soooo well!

That intro was actually me getting cocky in my first pointe class lol

Dance class fear is when your leotards strap snaps and breaks (it happened to me 😳)

Earlier this year my costume was a little too big and it almost fell off on stage so I had to extend my arm even more to try and not make it not fall off lmao🩰

Biggest fear: passing out on stage in the middle of your dance.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE A FEAR OF GETTING THEIR PERIOD ON STAGE? WOW IM GETTING WAY TO COMFORTABLE ON KZfaq.

BRUH I WAS AT A COMPETITION AND THEY PLAYED THE WRONG MUSIC.

7:51 is me at any given moment

I have fallen on my face, right in the middle front of the stage! it was so horrible but i was playing tweedle dee so it wasn't all bad... 😂😅

For the forgetting the dance fear, would it be possible to improvise until you remember the rest? (like an extra spin or something) Since it's super super obvious when you've forgotten something and stop. That's something I learned in theater but idk if it would apply to dance.

and when you fall out of pointe it's never pretty 😔

My dance teacher likes for us to whipstitch the knot on our ribbons if we have a a few minutes. Kind of a pain for shoe changes because you have to pick the stitches before you take the shoes off, but at least you know your ribbons won't fall off! ❤

Omg I had 2 dance performances today. And my music stoped in the middle of my dance and I just keep going, but at the end it started in the middle again! I just struck a pose because I was done, and waited till they closed the curtain. Btw I love your videos!

My hair used to be super long and heavy, so during a performance my bun came loose despite the 103636 bobby pins and a ton of hairspray we had used. Other than that nothing major happened. I was only dancing for 3 years though, it's been 6-7 years since I stopped and I really want to start again

Other ballet dancer You Tubers : Not relatable and pretend they know what their doing. Mackenzie: Super relatable and understanding true ballet dancers!! Luv ya Mackenzie! ❤

When I was a party girl the hooks were broken on my dress and we didn’t know, so it kept unbuckling on stage during the first performance. I had to be sewed in the costume for the rest of the performances

I'm getting ready for opening night of my performance as I watch this!!😁Hoping none of this happens!😂

My friend is a ballet dancer and one time while she was on stage, a safety pin popped open and started stabbing her waist as she was dancing... she has to try and bend a weird way to not bleed everywhere, but still try to look pretty while dancing.

I’m not a dancer but I ride horses and my biggest fear when I go is forgetting my snack-

when you can feel your shoe dying while dancing and eventually the shoe ends up completely dead and you sprain an ankle, true story

and this is why i’m glad show season is over and competition season starts in 2 months 😙✌🏼

I probably shouldn’t have watched this so close to my dance concert

The other day I was doing my contemporary dance and I was doing a kick and I slipped and almost fell and my heart went 📈 but like I played it off and nobody noticed 😂

When I did performing arts and dance shows, I used to be so scared of wrong foot at the wrong time and wrong entrance/exit

I can completely relate to wardrobe malfunction! one time a cheap leotard snapped in my face, and slowly started slipping down, while all I had underneath was a nude leotard that was so close to my skin color than I looked naked for 1/4 of the dance. It was soo embarrassing.

vessel in the back, oml I love you even more 🥺🖤

one time I watched a video of this man dancing, and he had THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RECOVERY I HAVE EVER SEEN.

i would love a dance gifts video for the holidays!!

I’m always afraid that I’m gonna get mixed up and accidentally go on stage when it’s not my turn yet and so I end up checking with the stage manager like a million times

So I have two lol 👌 1. A few years ago I had 2 dances to get changed into a ballet dance. As I pulled up my stocking they ripped all up my thigh, I had no time to get new ones or borrow someone else’s. I had to dance with a huge rip on my thigh (it had also ripped across to the other thigh while I danced) it was stressful 😅 2. The year before that my ballet shoes did not fit me, I did not know what happened (they fit my the night before) so I had to borrow someone else’s, their dance was 4 after mine so after my dance I had to run down to her while she was lining up for her dance 😅😅

Okay back in my previous studio I was quite a fav for the teachers since I had been there for quite a lot so I got cast as Clara I was like omgggg when she said my name then when she said the fairy it was basically also me 😂😂 the plan was when the fairy scene would come the curtains would close and I would go have a very costume change and a another girl would be Clara meanwhile, until the next curtain close where another quick outfit change was to be done and the scene I was doing for the fairy was the very famous solo part . These 2 parts separately were very demandingggg so imagine them together . I tried telling them I can’t but the teacher kept persisting on me and saying I must since there is no one else which made me sad because all the others were super mad at me . Nonetheless I practiced them spending way more hours in the studio than I probably would have and 8 had to skip quite a few hours of school for but nothing too much they were extra hours . When the show day came the audience was literally full with no extra seat I had many of my school friends there and teachers there I did the Clara part really good and since I had practiced it was basically written in my head and then the costume change came .... I had to change the point shoes too since one was skin color the other was the basic light pink / almost white . With very little time I had to rush I forgot to tighten a ribbon of one of the shoes but it was tied a bit . I start and a few counts in I realized something was off . I continued after realizing and the performance was pretty smooth I go off stage I completely loosen it and boom a girl looks at it sees me nagging about it and steps on the ribbon( clearly purposely after seeing the camera ) I go see my upper leg bleeding a tad and bruised . I still went with the flow ignoring everything once I told the dance instructor they gave me a few more minutes to rest 2 to be fair and then the show went on I still had 7 shows left to dance and from the 6th I Apia’s almost gonna repeat the mistake but I was sure to make sure the ribbons were secured all in all I left the company that year and I joined a new one which isn’t stressing me at all ever since that day the 1st thing I do is check my ribbons and a little bit more anxiousness is added

One time when I walked onstage there was a random piece of paper in the wings and it got stuck to my shoe, and then in a different dance I went off on the wrong side 😂

once my friend was doing a pointe solo (in front of a bunch of young girls and in front of her whole dance team- im on the team btw) and the wood floor in the studio was slippery and she just fell flat on her butt. she just rolled out of it gracefully and continued dancing. i thought it was actually intentional. she did a great job just going with it!!

I literally have an audition today. Why Mackenzie? lmao I love you girl!

I love the simplicity of your merch!

5:08 omg i competed with that variation for a year and i had like a full body shock when hearing it again im getting flashbacks to all the stress and rehearsals

Costume malfunctions are the WOOOOOORRRRRSSSSTTTT. One year, my studio did The Grinch for ballet and my group were the Whos, so we had wacky clothes and a very long head piece with candy canes and junk. It was held up by a plastic headband, which was weak. Not only that, but we had to PIN it so it wouldn't be NOTICED. BRUH. The headband was so thin, so it was really hard to pin it without it being noticable. During rehearsals I only had like 5 pins pinning it down, and it held in the whole entire time. So during the show I did the same thing. But when we did the sote arabesque leap (I'm bad with names), my headband FLOPPED FORWARD. It covered my face! And my group were on the stage for THREE MORE DANCES!!!!!!!

your an outstanding dancer!!! I wanna try ballet as soon as the pandemic is over

I was doing a solo once in a black leo and tights wearing white under wear according to my teacher the stage lighting made it transparent so the audience could see my underwear I've never worn under wear in class or stage since

Oml, music stopping freaks me out so much! At my dancing studio everyone gets a senior solo and one year this girl had her music cut out on her but she kept going and when the music came on her timing was so on point that she was exactly where it was supposed to be. She's a freaking legend and I'm terrified of just losing my music because I have the worst timing without music

I'm a dancer too. I love your channel. I'm typing to also make my channel based on dance but I have no ideas and not a good camera😵😘✌️

Loving this video! ❤❤

I love these videos!!!!!

I've fallen on stage. It can be very scary, but you've got to just keep dancing.

Love this video!! Keep it up

i need the merch RN 😂💘💘

I remember when I was like 8 I messed up a dance and right when I got off stage I cried 😂

Love you’re videos and keep up the good work xx

Forgetting on stage is my biggest fear :/ or falling on stage it's an embarrassing

I once ran off stage before I was supposed to but it's ok cause it was still symmetrical because a person was missing that day. Then I just came back on when I was supposed to so no one except me and the teacher and probably some of the fellow dancers noticed.

So funyyy

3:46 beeeaaautifuuuulll

You are the most beautiful dancer and I could just watch you dance all day

I love your channel. You are the best dancer!

Once when I started dancing at my current studio we were supposed to start onstage and they forgot! They had the lights and music go up before we were at our places 😩 my sister and I just walked on stage doing the arms (it started with just arms anyways) while everyone else followed slightly awkwardly, lol. Also, last year we were performing in a convalescent home our music stopped 😭 luckily we knew the music well enough that we all just kept going. We stayed in sync the whole time, it was awesome! But still, I hate it when that happens!

You are soo amazing! And also this is so true tho honestly!

Early!! You make my day every time!!♡♡♡

I have this certain sequence I make up in my head for each coreo I do so that if I forget I will just do that part lol

Congrats on merch!!!!!!!!!

Luv this video!! I am buying merchandise the now

You’re videos are very relatable don’t worry! You are great at ballet and YouTubing. Thank you 😃

LOL OMG WATCHING THIS BEFORE DRESS REHEARSAL AHHHH

this gave me anxiety😂 love your channel thoo❤️

i dance on my high school’s dance team and our music has stopped multiple times so im used to it at this point lol

My dance teachers are like never run off stage if you forget or anything, just keep going no matter what. If it is a group just follow others and if it is a solo, just make up a combination. They say the only time you can run off and they won't be mad is if your costume falls off and you are left with like no clothes or something.

the one with the music stopping happed to me at a gymnastics meet and that was my first year competing

I can't relate to fearing about forgetting your dance but I do musical theatre and i worry about forgetting lines

I have never thought about any off this we go over the dance once and play games to calm nerves but now this is all I will think about

GIRL YOUR HAIR 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

We wear fake hair (if yk yk) and my fear is it falling off on stage it would be so embarrassing. Also forgetting a dance, falling, getting the timing wrong, costume malfunction and like thousands more

This is so relatable and also I almost had a wardrobe malfunction I had a hairpiece and it almost fell out and I quickly replaced it I was so embarrassed

okay cool video and all but CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT TRIPLE INSIDE PIROUETTE DURING THE FIRST ONE- HOLYYYYY CRAPPPP THAT WAS MAJESTIC

I LOVE UR CHANNEL

Girlll! Probably not you're average watcher lol im 21, never danced, but love watching ballet and other styles. And really regret not doing ballet lol I did gymnastics but that's it. Sorry for my irrelevant information but just wanted to reach out and tell you I love you and your channel. Much love and support from a fellow redhead x

I'm early!!!! So excited for nutcracker!!

the music stopping happened to me at nationals and we just carried on and without music for the whole thing it was so awkward 😂

I really like you merch it's simple, but cute! I'm asking for it for Christmas

Why am I watching this and I have a literal show on Friday.

You have the confidence for sure girl , such a badass love you!
