[rectangleLips]

I've seen you being mean to people on their dance videos, why don't YOU get a life.



[woodwinkedx97]

I do ITDA, i was wondering if you have done or are doing the Award 1 and 2 grades?

[Imafreakintomboy]

Hello,I'm from Singapore :) It's nice to see a different syllabus! And your dancing is awesome! Could you help me think of any hand movements to use in my triple runs and free spin? (It has to be 3 different movements) It'll be great if you could,bc i'm not so creative -_-'' thnx for the video! (p.s. your not fat at all!)

[pamela333666]

i am a little more fat than u but i do ballet 2 it doesnt matter if we are fat or no the more important think that we love ballet...

[Emmydav1001]

I'm 12 years old and currently the youngest in our ballet class, I think the oldest in our group is 16. I have recently started RAD Grade 5 and I am loving it! Ballet is a big part of my life! I don't think it matters what age you are doing ballet, as long as your like it and want to do it, no-one can stop you because there is nothing wrong with it!!

[purpledancediva6]

@Emmydav1001 how did your exam go? I am in the grade 5 RAD, same as you. just wondering, did you do a free movemnt or classical study? i did free movement

[Emmydav1001]

@purpledancediva6 My exam went really well and I got a distinction! I did Free Moovement aswell xx

I like your cat in the background!

[chabanarocks]

[marciasferreira]

Hello Ana:

I'm an IDTA teacher and my students are doing their IDTA exams in April. Modern Jazz and Ballet. Congratulations on your grade and keep the good work. Some people do not understant that ballet can be done by anyone without the gool of becoming a balerina! not every body wants to be a balerina, but just enjoy dancing and learning. You are not fat but even if you were what the hell does that have to do with anything?????? keep on dancing and enjoying it! how old are you by the way?

[lilanza]

@marciasferreira Thank you! :) I know! It's silly. I'm 21. 22 this summer! I love ballet. I want to teach dance :)

[EmziiDee]

heyy you're really good! i have my grade five ballet exam today :S have you got any tips for free expressive movement? i really am awful at it :L and you look really good!

[1jadeamber]

@EmziiDee me to :) im in grade 6 tho :/

[TheElliepops]

Can't believe the IDTA haven't updated the ballet grades, I took this 31 YEARS AGO doing the same exercises to the same music !! :))

[lilanza]

In case people want to know, I got honours for this exam :) 89/100 Well happy!

[jinx22409]

[xassistedsuicide]

i think you are great! I do B.A.T.D so it's refreshing to hear a different syllabus! and see how things are done differently to how we are taught!

I'm also from England, I'm in Essex to be precise lol

keep up the good work, how did the exam go?

[lilanza]

@xassistedsuicide I got honours! :)

[hardings987]

@lilanza Well done. You looked really good. I'm taking this exam this month, next Sunday actually, but I'm stuck on what to do for the free expresssive movement. I feel really stupid doing it and i'm not very confident. This video was a really great help and you've given me some good ideas! Thanks a lot, and I hope you do well with teaching. I'm planning to do the same!!! xx

[bbygirland1]

First i would like to say that you are NOT fat, and you are REALLY good(:

I dont see what makes people call you fat or bad for no reason lol

You should make more pointe vids!(:

Awesome job

-niacakes(:

[bouncyhopper]

you are so fat that you could crush the exsaminer

[lilanza]

@bouncyhopper thank you very much for your helpful comment. I am not fat. I am an average size for my height thank you very much.

P.s. I find it sad that you spend your time on youtube looking at ballet videos and calling people who you don't know "fat"/. Get a life.

[bouncyhopper]

how old are you???????????

[lilanza]

@bouncyhopper 21

[creativitychick101]
