Anaheim Ballet: Elizabeth Herrmann '09

[Entilodont]

My juggling balls want to thank you. You've saved them from the bin :p Time to pick them up and try again!

[kaitlyn440]

i really want to learn ballet .. is it hard?

[livelife21100]

@kaitlyn440 yes very hard. not as easy as u would expect with how easy professionals make it look

[RoseBrilliante]

@kaitlyn440 You never know until you try :P I've been doing ballet for just over 10 years and I still love it just as much as I did the very first day :)

[lalazinhaballet]

very good

(muito bom)

[esttela1]

Is that Waitley's Psychology of Winning? Classic.

[cocobutt714]

your efface is too open... make sure it"s crossed.

[cocobutt714]

your efface is too open...

[allforjesus24]

she truly IS winning!!! hahah :D

[ReallyBigJump]

Okay so, "First rate version of yourself rather than a second rate version of someone else" . . . Charlieissocoollike? :)

[MJLongman]

@ReallyBigJump Maybe he watches Anaheim Ballet too? Maybe he's secretly a ballet dancer? (weird images now...)

[boxofpaperclips9]

@MJLongman It's actually a very well known quote by Judy Garland.

[boxofpaperclips9]

@ReallyBigJump It's a famous quote by Judy Garland

[meyerkar000]

I've watched all these videos so much that I know the names of all the people!

[seymis97]

cooooool

[dollyglam]

this was very motivating and inspirational i always have those days where i cant dance right and i just dont feel like my body is doing what i want and her advice to just keep dancing even if you having one of those days inspires me to improve more and more :) thanks so much

[aubzdall517]

I don't know why anyone would dislike these videos

[HorsesandPointeShoes]

whoa...she could be a therapist for dancers!!!!!

[SunnyShineStudios]

Go Lizzy!!! =) I love the way she dances, all clear and a tiny bit ironic :P

[mariroxyoursox]

Elizabeth, you are an AMAZING dancer. I've been dancing for 14 years and i aspire to be as good as you are right now. Thank you so much for the video!

[4096quagmire]

Watching your videos, I sorta wish I could have carried on with ballet. But I didn't like my teacher so that was never going to work .... ah, well, I've got my Irish dancing. It's not the same but I love it.

[33greenishly]

she's so flexible and intelligent. :D

[dancersingerlover]

i love that advice

[contemporarydancer97]

I love her!! :)

[meliselena]

Liz so active and boyish and beautiful

[carolinesalv]

go Lizzie-represent!

[regretsmyl]

snow dance ;)

[prettygabby]

nice :o

[MrsTheBallet]

i love her ( ;

[curly0805]

I love what you said at the end. Very true indeed :)

[Hamstringmaster]

She's definitely my favorite dancer at Anaheim. She's not the best but listening to her talk and watching her dance is so inspiring. I really like her!

[samgirl2009]

I know her =) Love you Lizzy great job

[saranewton429]

Eizabeth, your intelligence shines through your dancing.

[Lyn683]

She is flawless! :)

[mamaspecldorf]

No way! I'm from La Grande, too! Was she the teacher's daughter? I think I recognize the name. :-)

[BalletBuds]

Her fouette turns are really good!

[ProfRaphaello]

Anytime someone achieves excellency in the art - it is breath-taking.

[ettinaetta]

brvbrv

[MsBallerinaful]

i dont like her fuottes (spelling??)

[toodance]

-liked when she said:

"better to be a first rate version of yourself

than second rate version of someone else"

thank you for the video!

[ickyvic]

she has a great dancer's body! i totally envy her!

[maroonmystique]

i love her already.lol

[0MosR0]

2:38 nasty but beautiful

[lilstritt345]

shes turning....... how is that nasty...?

[0MosR0]

that wasnt me... that was my fucking bastarded bro

[lilstritt345]

how is that bad??????? he didnt do anything mean or anything. but seriously ask him how thats nasty.

[ao12oa]

imo ballet is art not dance.

u can call almost any1 a dancer, but ballet is so much more. I hardly know any1 who dances and dedicates his whole life for it, do u ?

[classydancer84]

Wait a minute.. is she related to Catherine Herrmann? If so, I know Catherine.. She was part of the UGA ballet ensemble when I was a student and I danced with her.

[Heifitz2]

Yes... Lizzy is Catherine's younger sister.

[TheAJ023]

loved it!

[demipoint22]

you are such a good dancer you are defiantly going to have a dance carrier! i wish I was you!!!

[balletgirl2009]

Oh My gosh

she is so good

she is so positive

And she dances so good

[sarrrxx90]

shes great! not the best.. but her attitude and the passion she has for dance is key and she has that

[willy2016]

2 dance u have 2 be posoitve....

[Mrs0Namikaze]

she's lovely

[XoXoGossipGirl309]

I'm totally in love with her.

She is beautiful and so positiv.

Just when I look at her I start to smile :)

I think she may be one fo the best dancers, i love her steps (can I say that in ballet?).

Go, Elizabeht, go! ♥

[iamtheladyofsorrows]

i love her.

I can see that she really enjoy dancing, and that makes me feel better, cause i don't have the luck of dance and is sad, and always i fell like that watch this videos, of anaheim, and makes me feel better.

maybe on my next life i'll be able to dance :)

[XoXoGossipGirl309]

I don't dance, too. I would like to, but my parents don't allow me to do ballet. But I like that you said "maybe on my next life i'll be able to dance". I never thougt like that. That comment gave me hope! :)

[iamtheladyofsorrows]

i'm sorry about that, your parents stuff. My parents support me about dance, but now that discovered the world of ballet i'm to old, and do other kind of dance are no longer interesting for me.

But maybe you could do it, and that's the spirit, think positive and things wil work out.

[maraj021]

If you can find a good studio or teacher who is knowledgable and sensitive to your particular needs, you are never too old to learn ballet. You might not be able to pursue a professional career in the dance world, but that's not everything. Find some community classes or an independent group to join.There are no limits other than your commitment and desire dictate, though physically you may have to be careful and develop slowly. I started dancing @ 22! Always dream big and work hard to achieve.

[Pixiemel2]

ure NOT too old. go for it. ballet is for everyone no matter what age, colour, eight etc...and to prove im right, look for anaheims video called "not talking in ballet". :) i always say if ure alive and healthy, u CAN! i obey to no rules.

[GenizahGuard]

You are an incredible, versatile, and gifted dancer. It is gorgeous to watch. Congratulations!

[andreapau111]

:D great

[emilywilliams420]

she's great!

[jesusfreakmusic]

Just wondering: isn't it tough with sometimes those "weird" clothes (like those half trousers on one side and stuff...?

Juts wondering...And not "weird" in a un-nice way, but a uhm... how-else-to-call-it-way. :P

[victorianachef]

Beautiful...... I was never able to make my dream come true.... but it surely makes me feel good that there people out there who don't stop till they get what they want.

Just lovely!!!!!

[DanceLikeNo1sWatchen]

she's beautiful!!!

Thanx for the great advice at the end. gave me a whole new perspective.

i look forward to these videos all the time.

Thankyou anaheim ballet!!!

[TsubasaDreams]

[livelaughlovedancer]

italian fouutes

[iDancer33]

W-O-W. She's a beautiful dancer, VERY controlled! The advice she gave at the end is stellar.

[LullusMagna]

[kdub10009]

She's definitely improved since she has been training full time there.

[woaheyitshil]

she is really, really tall! or at least she looks it! like, not even kidding, shes probably like 6'0"! And she has really big bone structure, but shes still a good dancer. Shes super good.

[broadwayluver77]

She's 5' 7".

And she's twig.  I've known her for years. She's amazing

[SolidGold1980]

holy crap

[J2theA2theC2theLYN]

Her technique is amazing and she is so beautiful but she is a little stiff on her upper body. Like her shoulders are a little stiff but she is so amazing!

[LaughingTiger17]

[DanceCakes]

[moosaysmrcow3]

[balletkido]

WOW!!!

1:11...that is her signature move!

[killaSpam502]

I've been struggling with pointe since I started it so late, and she has very much inspired me. (No excuses to not work!)

Thank you, Elizabeth!

[veronicadiazmovies]

She did well. Very well. You can tell she put thought into what she expressed with her interview. I like her! ^_^

It's not all about technique (although her's is superb), she's just got a great attitude!

[jengirl2]

[cristin]

[blah57908]

i love that quote at the end "always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of someone else"

[margemf1954]

I found it interesting for the dancer to talk about how she feels while she dances. I really like her ending quote.

[florescitarockera910]

[Psycho888999]

~Ev

[xelalolipop]

I like the music and why do ballerinas there wear leg warmers

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Leg warmers keeps muscles warm and help prevent injury.

[omgitsmissy]

she's so graceful, it's insane.

[babyboredom4911]

she's my favorite.

[Loverock199415]

[corinastiles15]

Anyone know what kind of pointe shoes she has ? I've been on pointe for about 3 years but I still can't find just the right shoe.

[peacelovecali]

she is beautiful!

[PhilSikeMajor]

I thoroughly enjoyed this profile.

Does anyone know what the at 1:33 is called after the glissade?

[peacelovecali]

I believe it is called a jeté battu.

[jahlove111]

[dancerfigskater4]

i've been waiting for a profile on lizzy. she's a beautiful dancer and an even more beautiful person!

[youresomellow]

i wish the music on itunes were free, or you'd at least update the podcasts. >:( Im gonna rate 1 star, because of this not because of the video!

[Elenaballet23]

U are amazinG!!

[vindelanda]

I agree, gotta be my favourite dancer profile yet. I love how much she loves dance, and it helps that she's incredible at it!

Beautiful dancer, inside and out.

[RonikaRampage]

Same , i fully agree .

[balanchinesmuse91]

This isby far my most favourite dancer profile. she's inspired me so much in that three minutes, dang I'm crying.

[StoliDassah]

I definitely have to agree with you.

[blondejokes92]

she's incredibly talented!!.. to state the obvious!

xxx

[DanceActSing4life]

i think we all need to think in that positive kind of way that she does! its rlly inspirational

[sugarplum040293]

she is adorable! she makes me love dance even more than i already do! thanks anaheim ballet for another great video :)

[SupaBritt]

Has to probably be my favorite dancer profile yet :)

[XxdementedDOLLXx]

She's AMAZING.

But I have a question....do the leg warmer things actually serve a purpose or is it more fashion? I always wondered about that...

[duckieluver22]

I guess it could be for fashion, but dancers at my studio use them to keep their muscles warm and the warmer our muscles are when we stretch, the more flexible we become. :]

[XxdementedDOLLXx]

OH I see. Thanks for replying. :D

[duckieluver22]

No problem. But it has been said, everyone is different. You may get the flexibility really fast or it may take some time. Just stretch. :] Good luck!

[oohhholax33]

i love these(: she just inspired me to go put my pointe shoes on for the first time in like a month! lol

[WingedSeed]

I love these videos, Anaheim Ballet! Keep them coming!

[balletdancer923]

I like her!! She's so good! and I feel the same way she does about being home in the studio. =)

[ProfRaphaello]

Talant or much work?

[BetsyBo55]

Her feet are STUPID AMAZING!!!! crazy!! one word--jealous!!! :)

[shitbear]

soooooo coool

[GreenLimePaint]

She is so pretty! And, I love her personality!

[AL1C1Ax]

shes amazing!!

[conejamusical]

she looks so light when she jumps.. perfect!!

[chocolatecakecutie]

She was a really really really good dancer. Her footwork was amazing!

[dancesxinxrainx0]

the quote about being a first rate version of yourself that she said at the end is one of my favourites!

i love these videos. they're inspiring.

thanks.<3:)

[snowboardgloory]

yaay !

i love the anaheim ballet videos !

it's so inspirational to watch these videos, but at the same time i feel a bit sad because i know i'm not near as good as these dancers ( at the anaheim ballet ) But i hope i will be one day ! ^-^
