I'm Veronica, welcome to my beginner dance journey. When I was 17, I was told by a teacher that I would never be a ballerina. I let that thought control me for YEARS but now, in my late 20s, I moved to New York City and I'm finally starting ballet late. This is a space for me to document the ups and downs of learning how to do ballet in my 20s and show anyone that it's never too late to live your dreams.0:00 - intro 0:25 - Welcome back to WTFP! 1:50 - The Slipper Edit 2:42 - Storytime (I wrote a musical) 7:26 - Broadway, baby 10:02 - the most embarrassing moment of my life 14:06 - the aftermath 16:45 - The lesson learned 19:35 - a fresh outlook 27:00 - outro#ballerina #ballet #failure #growthmindset #storytime #adultballetdancer #resilience
