Ballet dancers are hardcore, utmost respect for them

[emilywest]

I’m no ballerina, but that sounds incredibly difficult!

[elizzy]

Too humble! Thank you, Anna-Rose O'Sullivan, Principal, The Royal Ballet!

[briarrose]

Ballerinas are both extreme athletes and accomplished artists. Ballet is a lifestyle, a calling, a profession. Ballerinas have my utmost respect and admiration.

[Morbid_Freyja]

God that sounds so painful but looks so nice 😩

[monermccarthy]

I'm completely in awe when I see ballerinas dance. All the hours spent rehearsing and it's breath taking

[katherinaarcos]

People say that dancers aren’t strong - that dance isn’t a sport. But coming from a dancer, I can truthfully say that in order to dance, you have to be strong. Going en pointe hurts and needs lots of strength. Doing leaps and turns needs strength, core muscles, and good balance. Thank you for showing us how strong ballerina have to be to dance this gorgeous dance!

[Renee]

The unseen strength of ballerinas. So much respect for all of you.❤

I'm recovering from knee surgery and I can barely stand 10 min of balance exercises at once. Huge respect!

Anna-Rose, thankyou for taking the time to explain this to people, most will never understand how difficult ballet is. Your work is beautiful ❤

I actually met the amazing principal/ballerina of royal ballet Anna rose O’Sullivan on a private tour of the royal opera house! She was very kind and let me and my friend take a picture with her! One of my best memories as a young ballet dancer! ❤❤❤

[KateCarew]

She is a beast, ballerinas are so intensely strong and driven, we see these delicate women like they’re fragile when in fact they’re the opposite.
So much gratitude to these women and men who dedicate their lives to making beautiful for art for those of us who appreciate the magnitude of sacrifice that goes into a production.

[Mashy]

Ballerinas are amazing fr what they put their bodies through to achieve such grace and beauty is absolutely amazing. And they do it while still looking completely elegant!

[sheilabloom]

I hold my breath every time I see the Rose Adagio.

[andrewuk]

It is indeed beautiful but look at the toll it appears to have had on your poor foot.

[husainmohd]

Huge respect and admiration. The reach to do this is unbelievable dedication

[Sincere]

Wow!! My foot cramped up just watching this!! Amazing skill and strength!! Her calves are amazing!! 💪🏼

[szilivamarsa]

The amount of training and sacrifice that goes into such a magnificent performance art!! Respect!!❤

[Gina]

I've never seen a Ballarina balance, barefoot! I thought there was more padding in your Ballett slippers? So Beautifully strong, and Amazing! Thank you for sharing your Art! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

You can tell how much strongness she has not only in her foot but in her entire body, even if you don't know anything about ballet just like me. Love and respect❤
