I can feel your exhaustion with you! Your dedication is admirable.

Your videos are really inspiring for me, like for my normal everyday middle aged lady life. I love your positivity and your message that hard work pays off. I like how you keep it real and admit things are really hard, but you do it in such a way that it makes me wanna work hard. It’s hard to explain in a comment on a video. I think you’re awesome though and thanks you for putting this out there 💙

THE PIANO😍 As a pianist, it would be such a dream to play for a ballet company. Does anyone ever do that for you guys? How often does the piano get used?

[MariaCecilia-corj]

It is hard, but I feel that you are doing what you love to do. You are an inspiration!❤

[K_beans]

You’re so admirable and hard working. I know it’s so hard but you make it look so easy🩷

[cayman]

You have all my strength behind you. ❤

[lizzies.]

Can you make a video about ballet terminology? Like what is a pas, what is a variation, etc

[Morimegami]

omg I can feel your exhaustion 😱💘 hope you can rest well and happy

Have you ever tried tiger balm for your feet? Like in the really painful parts? As a cheerleader it helps numb pain for us

I’m an ex teenage dancer and never got to do pointe. But I was always curious about it and have come to learn so much from you about what it’s actually like to be a professional dancer. Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself with us.

I have a question. I’m just so curious. As someone who struggles with motivation and willpower, how is it that even though your feet are swollen and hurt, you seem excited to get to dance again?

I’m a musician and graphic designer, and I love what I do. I’m a passionate person. But your dedication seems to be on another level. Much respect and love!

Is there a small dehumidifier you could put your shoes in to dry with all of the dancing and ambient humidity? I just remember reading how you shoes were not holding up with all of the humidity with your last NY trip.

[josettetaylor]

I’m a nurse… Would it possibly help to wrap cool cloths around your feet a few minutes before trying to put your shoes on?

[vitama]

I find it so crazy that your feet never adjust. Years of dancing and it still hurts. It’s wild.

Hope your hotel bed is extra comfy, & u get lots of sleep! U prob know this but jic... when u need to cram in a lot of new info fast it rly helps to go over it right before going to sleep & again right when you wake up. Good luck! (Or break a leg? What am i supposed to say? 😅)

I used to do use a portable air machine that would stick inside my boxing gloves to dry them and also remove some stink from them. Have you tried one of those? Might help especially when you are in New York.

[knittingwithlisa]

do you have a special routine for rolling out sore feet and other muscles? if so could we see it?

[rebornsnuzzles]

Why don't you have a second pair of shoes a little bigger for when feet swell? This is what runners do.

[MattressDoor]

Nothing worse than already wet toe pads/ribbons

And dancing on swollen feet is so terrible 😭 feeling like the shoes are dead but really your toes are 😂

[shortyextraordinaire]

Sis in the background with street shoes on?!?! On the dance floor?!? Oh baby no no nooo.

[beccariv]

have you ever tried other types of dancing?
