Hi Hannah, I'm a writer in my 30s. I dance for fun now and danced ballet 2-22 even performing with companies. I've watched your channel for years and I find you so inspiration, plus it is a joy to see you grow as a dancer/performer. But this is the first time I've seen you like this. I don't think you've been this full of emotions since you first started thinking of seriously quitting rhythmic gymnastics. I think you might be having early signs of burnout. All of us viewers would be ok if you missed a week, or took a few days off for yourself. Keep doing things that make you happy like church and chilling out with friends. You body is telling you to slow down a bit (ie tummy trouble, sleep issues, not feeling as motivated as usual). Just be careful. I want you to have everything you desire in life, but if you push too hard you could have serious burnout of ballet or get injured due to lack of sleep etc.

Thank you so much for all your concern. I have been trying my hardest to find the balance although I do find it tough. The battle between my desire to succeed and improve versus what is physically possible for a human being on a repetitive basis can be like balancing on a tightrope for me. It’s definitely a learning process and one that I am challenging myself to work on. Thank you for your advice 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@Isabella-cx1sf 2 жыл бұрын

Not sure if this will help anyone or not, but I always find that when I'm having a hard week where nothing seems to work in class and I've degressed in technique, a week or two after that is when I improve more than I had before, so keep on pushing through, guys! You can make it, I promise. :)

We left the UK 18 months ago and are just finding suitable classes here in Luxembourg. My daughter loves watching. Vlogers like the norris nuts and tiana which in my opinion big waste of time. So I am hoping she will start to follow you. I know its hard work but you are reaching younger girls and making a difference. And you also have faith Which I just realised watching this video. I know we will be blessed so please don't give up. 🙏🏽

OMG, if you have not seen Princess Tutu, you simply must. It starts a little immature, but that's because there has to be plenty of room for growth.. and let me just say..... the creators did an INCREDIBLE job of researching and taking ballet classes and making references to other works and such. Once you've finished it, you'll have to watch the video with fun facts. It's really complex. The show gets REALLY good about episode 10, and stuff moves quickly because it's only like 26 episodes. I made my husband watch it and now even he is obsessed.
