THESE VIDEOS ARE NOT TO BE USED WITHOUT PERMISSION
I seriously cannot get my head around the fact that people are taking this way too seriously. If you have watched previous videos of the class as well as specific people, you would know that it's called "banter"! They are actually friends.
Right? Like its exactly the vibe between my friends and me, we are making fun of each other sometimes but everyone knows its not serious or anything
She said "I'm going to be a ballerina for real now." And Amber looked at her like "Let's not get ahead of ourselves." 🤣
I love that amber is monotone cuz them critiques hit different 😂 she’s so funny but her voice is so calming too
I love the emotional chemistry between you two. I don't agree with others' comments here. Amber is hearing you and seeing your troubles, she corrected all mistakes, helped with pointes and made so many jokes! I never knew there are so many little details in these moves shown in this lessons. Ty both ❤
this is black cat / golden retriever energy and I'm loving it
I love LOVE that! Being a world class golden retriever...so often those beautiuful damn cats made me feel stupid, sad, pitiful. I'm 70 and they still can do it to me. Eva is precious and so honest, vulnerable, trying so hard in public and out here irl, we can see her becoming a real dancer! Doing so much better than we probably would. Tell Amber that she learned this before her bones hardened. It's harder for Eva and will take longer than a kid.
Amber is terrible at hiding her reactions, but Eva never believes her when she actually says something nice 😂 Amber doesn't pull punches and that's why we love her.
Amber always acts like she is being firced to do these vids😂
What is shee 😡😡😡😡
@@Gloomy__shroom900??
Her expressions are my favorite lol
@@therealsunqueen I agree, she’s very awkward and it’s endearing. I think that’s why a lot of people think she doesn’t wanna be there.
@@therealsunqueensame ahah it makes the video so much better
amber is genuinely such a good teacher, she explains it so well and really looks for solutions that work for you. Like yes she needed a second to get used to your feet LMAO but she really pays attention to what you do right and wrong
What I think is funny is how Amber is so reserved when the cameras on but every now and then you see glimmerings of exactly just how crazy she is. I mean I think the two of these women are peas in a pod. I can't imagine what it's like when the two of them are romping about the city without a camera. This was a fun video.
Petition for Eva to be fitted by Josephine
yess
The wide smile and twinkles in Eva's eyes when she puts on the shoes 😂❤
It cannot be easy filming dancers at the school who have been on pointe for years and now starting from the beginning yourself. We all have different timelines, you'll get where you want to be❤
I bet it's not easy! But I think it's beautiful!
Amber has done this since she was little so her cartilage, ligaments, muscles, etc are built into these over extension of her feet and body. But for someone who’s already an adult to do this now is incredible. Keep on keeping on girly! You look great even if you have a bad foot. ❤
That's a lot for a first class! I teach pointe beginners and I see you run into the same challenges as my beginners. Don't compensate not getting entirely on the box with unstretched knees. Knees straight. You will get there! Don't break your shoes in too much.. your feet will get stronger if you work them. Your retiré was quite impressive for a first time and i loved the pics in the little photoshoot!
I feel for Amber in these comments. I also have resting bitch face. It's hard and exhausting to catch and correct but the best thing about being with friends is they listen to what I'm saying, not what they perceive me to be saying.
The sheer concentration on Eva's face is priceless. It's like that mighty brain of hers is willing her muscles to obey. She's gonna get there, no question.
I love watching Amber teach you ballet. 😂
Being a pro is hard, being a beginner is hard, im so glad you two took so much time out of your day to be happy
Eva looks so happy and giggly despite the pain, it's nice to see ❤ Also Amber's energy of "let me out but ok i'll help if I must" is extremely entertaining !
When Amber said “don’t hop” like up on pointe, I was thinking those are the little things you are missing from not training for years-that even little moves like that you must use the muscles in your feet and lower legs to releve, not hop.
Eva when you were in the store, you were over your box at the fitting. Keep trying and you'll get there! Stop saying you have bad feet!!!
You noticed that too? 👍
Amber's face is priceless in that as soon as she goes on point she immediately turns into a professional. Watch as she rises, her neck straightens & her face immediately changes. Love it! 😂
All the best and older dancers become so professional and serious when they dance. I figured it's all the time--years--they have invested.
It’s probably because being on point is slightly dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing.
@@stacysmith7387well she knows exactly what she’s doing and it’s hardly that dangerous.
@@zhaviyah84 wow it’s not dangerous? Do you know how tiny those bones and the feet are? They’re quite delicate so if you don’t have muscle support from years of strength training you could sprain or break something. It was painful for her to even stand on her toes for less than a minute.
Professional ballerinas always look like literal goddesses dancing next to beginners 😅 even though Eva is an advanced beginner. When I see her on her own I always think wow! She's really advancing!! And then Amber stands next to her and epitomizes ballet lol you're both beautiful ❤️
The young lady with the blue shirt, seems like such a sweetheart. Keep up the training, nothing worth having comes easy. And the ballerina… amazing legs!
Good job Eva!! I think everyone react the way you did in our first pointe class, started happy and excited and ended up almost crying.
Eva on pointe!❤❤❤❤❤😄
Yesssssss❤❤
YESSS
Amber, the passivity kills me 😅🥹
Yawl are taking this video too seriously, she’s a beginner amber is teaching her, they are very good friends if you come across ballet dancers they all act like them the false scenarios yawl are coming up with is crazy to me
I want her to get fitted by Josephine from the Pointe Shop so bad!!! It'd be so fun to watch!
Same 😊😊😊
Same here😊😊😊
I fucken love how happy and excited you are!!!!! Pls don’t ever lose that!!!!!!
i dont know who's suffering more, if eva or amber 😭
Love this video. It shows how we take for granted just how difficult even the most basic moves are and how unbelievably talented ballet dancers are. P.s the professional instructor is absolutely hilarious! Her faces had me dying.😂
amber: “simple” eva: **rolls eyes dramatically** amber: “easy” eva: **rolls eyes again** gosh i love that part!
I love you guys. Your love for dance is so great to see. Love the guy in the background traveling in “character”. Eva, I love your determination to learn ballet. Amber, I love watching you dance and love your humorous tolerance - and encouragement - of Eva’s skills.
“did something crack??” “my toes” Amber: 👀👀
There's a reason she gave you a hard shank!!!! Hard shank is good for beginners because it strengthens and supports your feet, and the shoes last longer. You shouldn't really break in shoes as a beginner 😬 Ah well, what's done is done 😅😂
Ehhh, it depends- to provide support, the shank needs to conform to the arch, and if someone doesn’t already have strong feet they’ll tend to struggle with a hard shank. If the dancer can’t get over the box because the shank is too hard, that’s not doing them any favors.
I love that despite not having flawless technique herself she clearly knows how to get the best out of any dancer and direct them artistically , but obviously learning ballet herself is only going to make that even better
Eva I think it is incredible you are taking something on as an adult. It’s easy to start things as a child. You are starting a hard thing as an adult. Don’t be overly hard on yourself because you are doing it for the love of it and that will shine through as you get better. ❤
Do another pointe class video! Amber made you feel bad about yourself bc she didn’t say much when you needed encouragement. but you did just as most people would doing in beginning pointe!!!!! You’ve improved SO MUCH in ballet! Pointe takes a long time. Show people here the baby steps-…. The micro-improvements. You are doing so well after only a year and a half of ballet as an adult!!
I love the interactions between eva and amber, if I did ballet I'd like to have amber as my teacher, she seems really calm and nice but still pointing what eva did wrong😊
she's calm and explains things but still i would feel very intimidated next to a professional ballet dancer 😮 especially as I'm not as flexible as Eva and worlds apart from Amber
@@anniebe4992 Yeah me too
You are so brave Eva!!❤❤❤ you're a photographer who has opened herself up to a REEEAAALLLY difficult sport/hobbie/dance style and youre doing great! Keep making these wonderful videos wirh Amber, we're all on thus fabulous journeys with you, with you both! Xx
I love this too! She has spent so much time photographing dancers, and clearly admires their skill and dedication and path in life. It takes a lot of honesty and vulnerability to ask one of them to help her learn. It's so wholesome to see.
Amber is such a patient teacher. So beautiful!! I LOVE watching you guys so much. You bring me great joy. Thank you!!! 🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤
Watching someone explain and watching someone learn is helping me learn actually !! Ty for sharing
Amber takes some super aesthetic photos, they would be perfect for social media 😍
It's so inspiring! I want to join ballet for adults classes too now! You go, Eva!
Same! There should be classes for adults with no experience and/or flexibility. 😅
@@AllTheHappySquirrelsLook into community college classes.
@@AllTheHappySquirrelsactually, lot of ballet studios do have that! i’m taking class at my local ballet studio and they have an adult beginner program :)
@@AllTheHappySquirrels true , i need a class with super inflexible students 😅
the way she holds her breath 😭 girl ur gonna pass out omg
i love Amber, she is so funny and also a great teacher
Definitely saw improvement throughout this video. You’ve got this!! 😊
I love when dancers help each other and have a ball doing it.
A fun video series idea would be that you could get different dancers, the ones from your tiktok/shorts, like Amber to try and teach their "specialty". So maybe one girl is best at a specific leap, or a turn. And their known for that skill. If that makes any sense.
That's a cool idea!
Amber kinda reminds me of Rory Gilmore
I actually think it's not her feet that causes her issues. I feel like it's her tibialis anterior muscle being too tight. Every time I've had to break from dancing, I've needed to re-stretch the muscle by pointing my toes and rubbing very hard (starting around my knee area, and sliding downward, with constant pressure, using the butt of my palm, towards my ankle).
And strengthening the calf and peroneus longus which is the opposing muscle.
I thinks it's obvious that you now have to do the "how fast can you put on your point shoe" challenge right?!
Amber always has a "why am I here I don't wanna be here get me outta here ASAP" look on her face it's so funny 🤣
Eva your journey is so inspiring, thank you so much, I started ballet last month at 25 years old because of the videos you share with us, thank you, it was a lifetime dream of mine
Is the 95 in your username not your birth year? Because it's also mine and I started ballet last month as a 28 year old because of these videos 😂
@@rainymornings haha no, that would be 9th of may, my birthday, still we're very close in age, best of luck in your ballet journey! 💕
@@cristina95 Aww, I wish you lots of luck and joy on yours too! I just came back from lesson 3, and all I can think is "damn, my body is useless" haha 🤣
the people who are commenting that amber is “rude” or “mean” clearly haven’t seen any other Eva Nyes videos or been to a single ballet class. the way people are saying she’s rude or mean is crazy to me when they have never even spent a minuet with amber.
A minuet 🤔 No pun intended? 🧐😁
@@OlgaRykov wait i’m acuattly so confused what pun is there 😂
@@TaylorSwiftieEdits13i think the pun is Mean by Taylor Swift
@@TaylorSwiftieEdits13a minuet is a ballet move I think
Don't forget to breathe un releve! It helps your balance.
Eva: I'M FINALLY A REAL BALLERINA! ALL MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUUUEEE🥳🥺💖💖💖🩰🩰 Amber: Alright there, Margot Fonteyn, just... relax 😒
Congratulations girl!! Most wouldn't even try what you are doing. It's a lot easier when u do anything from childhood but I admire your dedication and desire to keep going. And if it makes u smile that's also a good thing ❤❤
Amber has to be a Sag or a Capricorn - she does not hide what she thinks 😂😂 love it
Shes an Aquarius
@@minetta_is_minnie1186 also yes lol
Eva is just like me in my ballet classes 😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one who has all of those feelings 🤣
getting over the box can be hard at first, it may be the shoes pulling u back
Amber reminds me of Alexis Bledel from Gilmore Girls.
Looks exactly like her
1:46 可愛すぎる😂❤ アンバーとの温度差がコメディー見たい😂😂
The teacher is so graceful Just standing with her leg forward is beautiful
Eva is in good shape for someone her age but still struggles. It really makes you appreciate just how talented and hard working these young people are, that they can do this all with seeming ease. I hope she keeps working at it.
How old is she? "Good shape for someone her age" sounds like she's OLD😂
@@herrahoohuu like 25 or 26, I think. And for that age, she’s in good shape. These teens and in some cases tweens, are just in amazing shape and training.
@@herrahoohuushe’s 26
I so enjoy watching you two together it reminds me of my lifelong times with my close friends.
It’s so nice to see you all excited, it’s something you’re doing simply because you love it
Amber is a great teacher 😊
“That’s my worst foot” “Yeah I can tell”
So much further over on the box from when you had your first pointe lesson congratulations🎉
I’ve seen what other ballet dancers do to make their pointe shoes just right. Crushing,taking them apart,re-sewing them etc.
EVA, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU! I'm currently on a similar journey, and your videos motivate me so much! You are amazing, and congrats for going on point!
I totally love Amber faces... actually she do all the faces that I hold no to do when im teaching point to my adults students jajajajaj amber teams FOREVER... JAJAJAJJ THANKS FOR THE VIDEO... Eva we love u as well but im on the dark side of the teachers jajajajajaj =P enjoy your RAINBOW moment with the point shoes!
Say what?
@cyninbend I totally love Amber's expressions...actually she does all the expressions that I stop myself from doing when I teach pointe to my adult students hahahaha Amber team forever HAHAHA THANKS FOR THE VIDEO... Eva we love you as well but I'm on the dark side with the teachers hahahahaha =p enjoy your RAINBOW moment with the pointe shoes!
@@PatchouliPenny thanks to the translation =) my poor English always fight with my phone corrector and this is a disaster jajajaja.... love u amber and Eva
@@Arkduu it's a pleasure . :) I understood you easily. Well done for speaking a different language so well. 👏
That was so fun. Thank you for sharing. My first pointe class was also pretty terrible. Pointe is so funny. No matter how much you prepare, it's still SO DIFFERENT than anything you've ever done. There's just no way to really be prepared, I feel like. The good thing is, while ballet never gets any easier, you will get better. I remember thinking there was no way in hell my feet were going to get over in second, but I'm doing it! You'll get there! Just keep working hard :D
how long did it take?
I absolutely love your excitement. The big smile on your face says everything 🫶
Some people are saying Amber is mean. I believe she has a good heart and means well or else she would never praise Eva. Although Amber is a good teacher, she would be even better if she learned the phycology part of teaching of using more positive words so that Eva or any other student won't feel insecure about their abilities. Also so they would feel more encouraged to learn. Alot of younger teachers start out this way but through more experience they get better at it. I really admire Ambers talent of being able to spot every mistake and how to correct them!! Shes got alot of potential as an excellent teacher and shes definitely an excellent ballerina!!! Shes my favorite by the way!!!
Too sensitive people... you cant do anything with them... a ferm hand who knows what to do and praise when actually needed, not to inflate someones ego who should be tough in the first place...
What was bad with her? No sugarcoating eh? She seemed like a good teacher to me.. we dont know what happens bts right?
@@user-uv9zr8qs2c That is true with professional dancers. I'm speaking from a business standpoint. Some students aren't born with the flexibility of a dancer and just want to take ballet just for the pure joy of it or to develop the poise of a dancer. If all the students were treated like professionals, than a teacher would loose alot of her students. Believe me, I've seen it. Also there is a way to be a tough perfectionist, at the same time as being tactful and positive at the same time just like I see how the teachers are at Master Dance Academy. No wonder why they have such a successful school!!
@@user-uv9zr8qs2ctheres nothing wrong with being sensitive. its a gift to be able to feel deeply for multiple reasons. it would only be the way a person handles that sensitivity that becomes the issue at hand.
@@user-uv9zr8qs2c if you never praise someone theyll feel like they arent making any improvement, and that can very easily make them quit. its the same thing with over praising them and making them feel like they can never make mistakes. you have to find a balance. and you aint "sensitive" for wanting praise and reassurance, we are social creatures. EVERYONE wants to other people to think theyre doing a good job, it boosts self esteem and confidence.
You're doing really well, Eva! Were you feeling muscles you didn't know you had after this lesson?
For your first time it looks like youre doing really well.
OMG when Amber's face just pops in from out of frame like "TOASTY!" XD
Eva: 😁😝🥰 Amber: 😐 :p
Whenever I get a pair of pointe shoes I'll definitely be reffering back to this video. 😁 I have a really weird background in dance and never got to try out pointe, but I've always wanted to. 😍 PS The juxtaposition of Amber looking so apathetic and you being so insanely excited is hilarious. 😂 (You can tell Amber is secretly laughing on the inside though.)
Ahh, memories of my first ever pointe lesson! It’s hard work but pretty satisfying once you start getting the hang of it so keep it up!
I really like that hairstyle on you and the passés were actually quite good
Yesss❤ finally we get to see her go en pointe❤🩰
Great video. I love Amber's reactions, they are priceless. 😁
We need a collab with Josephine of the Pointe Shop KZhead channel. I don't think those pointe shoes are well fitted for you, esp if you can't get over the shank.
I think the fitter commented below, she said she was over the box when they fitted her so they gave her a stiffer shank. At least that’s what I gathered.
Totally agree. I'm not sure that she has the correct shoes!
She DID say she didn't break them in properly/at all, but yeah, her feet are not compatible with those shoes, for whatever reason.
You are absolutely right. Those pointes aren't the ones. I even believe she might need one pointe for her right feet and a different one for her left, based on how she said she felt. All the weight should be on the platerform, no where else and right away. And that's not the case at all here, at all, at all, at all Another thing, it shouldn't hurt, not like that, not that fast. Something is off, that's why she doesn't feel comfortable. That's why she's so nervous. Gotta trust your instinct, gotta listen to your body. Pointes are amazing shoes ( my favorites), but they can Fuck your body up real fast, real goooooooood !
@@JustMeKayC Pointes should right away. That's why you have to get years of training to prepare your body.
i’ve been binge watching all of your videos and tiktoks almost trying to hype myself up to start ballet 🥺 watching you grow and get better and better makes me feel like i can do it too if i just start! love watching your journey
Amber's giving "The Office" vibe 😂
YESS YOU GO GIRL, IM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!💜💜
Amber is hilarious. Eva you look so happy! 🥰
You got this Eva! Also, as a hearing impaired person, is it possible to turn up Amber's mic? Yours is much louder than hers 🤷♀️
I'm totally deaf so I rely on the closed captioning
Luv you guys together!! And such progress
we need more of these videos
If this is her first time… she’s doing pretty dang good. 😌. More power to Eva for getting here. It’s only up from here 😝 And to Amber you do you ☺️. You are awesome at your craft. Eva your photo art still rocks. 😋.
OMGosh Eva, well done!! Keep going❤
I love your videos! Amber is so good at Pointe!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Pointe is so pretty!
Love it!! I’ve been asking for your basics to help with your technique in center. This was great! 👀 😍 Fix your ribbons and I can’t wait for the to be continued….dah dah dah. Really great effort. Bravo 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🩰🩰 Amber and her beautiful turn out and exact right amount of knee hypertension to make the most gorgeous line putting us naturally non turned out bone straight legged people into complete envy mode 😮😖😭. Oh well, we do our best 🫠😆. Once you get the feet going you’ll be able to fake it till you make it. That’s what I did. I’ll never be the most turned out in the hips but darn it my ankles in tondu are pretty freakin good. 😄😇 it’s been a few decades of moons since my last pair of pointe shoes. You’re very inspiring so thank you very much for sharing your experience and maybe I’ll get a fitting myself for a pair at my nearest pointe shoe shop. Nothing crazy but some bar work from my kitchen island a few times a week would be fun and a good work out.
Please do continue these. This was so lovely🧡
