When she said “I was never the perfect dancer or had the right build”. “Ballet is my life, well my husband was my life but I don’t have him anymore” “He always thought I was the best dancer” man tf is cutting onions🤧🥺

"Ballet is my life, well my husband was my life but I dont have him anymore but he always encouraged me. He always though I was a good dancer" my heart 😭😭😭

My daughter took ballet classes with the Royal Academy Dance . She took 8 years but lost interest in ballet But it taught her more than just step. She learned respect for others, what it meant to be apart of a team and doing your part to support the team, how to carry herself, why being on time and ready for class was important and it taught her grace . I really wanted her to continue at least 6 more years, until she graduated. She used what she learned throughout middle school, high school and college I could not be any prouder of her. I only wish her father could have been there to see her grow in grace . He died of brain cancer when she was 7 years old. The ballet helped her get through some tough times .

I worked with Ms Suzelle Poole in the early 90's, and dancing is only one of her incredible talents. She has dedicated her life to enriching the lives children, and it is so lovely to see her shine in this video. I wish her the very best.

In those 2 min, I came to completely respect this woman as a kind, caring, passionate, and talented person. She's honest, found a husband who loves to support her. She wants to use her gifts to teach younger dancers and bring life and vitality to older people, who are often forgotten and do not receive performances like this very often. I now just love her!

"Ballet my life, my husband actually my life but he not here with me." Iknow somone started cutting onions near that part. SHOW YOUR SELFS AT ONCE.

She's living proof that true beauty has no age limit. ❤

[paulinawaas]

Dance has kept her healthier than any of her age! She is beautiful too!

[tatianaivan]

"Life is too short *not* to do what you *want* to do...It's never too late, so start doing what you love doing now".

[chloepisspants]

She looks so healthy and beautiful as an old lady😍😍

[madisonbarnes]

She has such an amazing and soft voice. She like a very wise lady

“It's never too late to start doing what you love doing now”
Are that tears on my eyes?

Talking about how ballet teaches more than just dance and how it doesn’t matter if the students don’t stay with it forever- so true. It teaches posture, patience, balance, commitment to technique, group coordination, flexibility and strength. My mother is a slight woman, but her ballet training and the exercises she kept up even after she stopped dancing helped her have the core strength to get through childbirth! My teacher told us she pushed us hard because she believed in our ability to do precise, beautiful work and wanted us to develop work ethic-making a routine perfect and getting a move just right is a lot like learning a skill for a job or putting effort into a project. Plus, seeing an older teacher like this woman still exercising and engaging in her passions may encourage them to stay active and engaged when they’re older. Ballet can be so great for kids!
