Why I Quit Dancing Ballet Professionally

In this video, I want to share my story with you about why I stopped dancing ballet professionally. I talk about the fear of leaving ballet after dancing for 20 years, the fear of losing the identity of being a ballerina, the fact that I struggled with depression, nihilism, and chronic back pain in the last years but also just overall thoughts about the ballet industry as a whole. As much as this video was hard to make, I hope this video helps someone out there make a big career or life decision. Thank you for watching and for your continuous support!
