Lol at the end, “if I move extra slowly, nobody will notice“ 😂
-
Who else loves the sound of the pointe shoes all hitting the ground at the same time
-
I think that this is one of the better mistake waltzes because they actually try to save it and it looks more realistic
-
You can tell these dancers are really talented, even their mistakes look good.
-
when the dance teacher says if you make a mistake keep going
-
Dancing with mistakes on purpose like that is actually harder than dancing in sync
-
3:00 dont be suspicious, dont be suspicious
-
If you make a real mistake, yea sure the audience won’t notice but..... Your dance teacher will
-
See I’m just sitting here impressed one of the dancers is wearing glasses. I’ve never seen that before.
-
Everyone saying this would be easier.. It's actually harder to purposely make the mistake then to accidentally make it...
-
I don't think people realise how much work is involved in making this dance look like its full of "mistakes".
-
The best thing about this is that they had to practice those mistakes.

-
The thing with this dance is that you have to exegerrate some of the mistakes so that the audience can tell the mistakes are done on purpose
-
One of them: *makes a mistake* The others: ohno, girls we have to improvise. We cant let her embarrass herself.
-
Nobody: Literally no one: Not a single soul: Me: in pointe class when the teacher looks away
-
A dance where you’re actually supposed to mess up? I’ve found my calling.
-
honestly their mistakes are better than my actual dancing. you have to be really talented to make errors look good
-
No one: Girl on the top left at 3:00 : no one will notice my mistake
-
this dance becomes even more amazing when you realize that it's harder to choreograph mistakes as a ballerina. like it's literally ingrained into you that you have to be perfect 100% of the time, so for most ballerina's a dance that's literally full of mistakes is extremely difficult to catch onto.
