Рет қаралды 23,509
Күн бұрынWelcome to my first Nutcracker vlog EVER. I'm finally living out a life long dream of being in the Nutcracker Ballet! I'll be taking you behind the scenes of my first ever Nutcracker rehearsals, as well as showing you some cozy days in the life of an adult ballerina.
I get to dance in the Nutcracker party scene, so you'll get to see me rehearsing for that. But between rehearsals, I'll bring you along to some dance classes and you'll come along for some cozy autumn days like Halloween and other adventures.

🍓 HI, I'M VERONICA VICCORA
Hi there! I'm Veronica, welcome to my beginner dance journey. When I was 17, I was told by a teacher that I would never be a ballerina. I let that thought control me for YEARS but now, in my late 20s, I moved to New York City and I'm finally starting ballet late. This is a space for me to document the ups and downs of learning how to do ballet in my 20s and show anyone that it's never too late to live your dreams.

I started ballet when I was 13, really chubby and without a single flexible bone in my body. I'm now 16 and countless hours of stretching, staying late at the studio practicing, and -15kg later, I just found out I'll be dancing my first ever variation. I relate so deeply to your channel, keep going and dont ever stop because once we're so lucky to have found this passion many people spend their whole lives searching for.

Your journey of starting ballet as an adult has been deeply inspiring to me, and I just had my first few classes at age 29 (30 in a couple months!). Seeing you get to do nutcracker feels truly heart warming. Would you mind talking a little bit about what you do for conditioning outside of ballet? do you go to the gym or do any type of stretching etc.

Growing up I was told I would never be able to do pointe because my feet were too flexible so I stopped dancing. Now im in my early 20s and learned maybe I could do pointe with a lot of conditioning and the right shoes. Seeing your journey has been so inspiring and makes me want to give it another shot as well. Thank you

Wishing you all the best on your journey. Don't let the naysayers get you down, I've had people in some classes that didn't have a foot AT ALL. If they can find a way to dance, I'm SURE you can!

It’s so heartwarming seeing you achieve your dreams and being in the nutcracker! ❤❤ Never been in the nutcracker either but already dancing for so long. My school doesn’t do these classical ballets so it has always been a dream of mine to be in a classical ballet like the nutcracker. And now seeing you makes me so so happy! ❤🫶🏻

Absolutely love you freestyling and, in the best way, it reminds me of witches dancing in the forest with no regard for how anything looks, all emotion and feeling. And what comes out is beautiful :) Also thanks for doing what you do as you are a part of the reason I’m restarting ballet at age 29!

I am so happy for you! When I saw the thumbnail for this video I almost screamed! You are such an inspiration! I started ballet when I was 14 and I'm 21 now, and I was never really good because I had no self confidence, but I've improved a lot recently and it's my dream to become a dancer even though I know I started late and I'm less skilled and experienced than other dancers my age. I love watching your videos. When I feel down your videos remind me to keep following my dreams, because they may not lead to success, but just the process of learning and the joy of the journey make it worth it anyway. Congratulations!
