Adult ballet is an amazing journey, but definitely not an easy one. We know how it feels to lose motivation at times, to blame yourself for not doing enough or for not having that perfect turnout.
We believe that the best motivation in such moments is...people like us! Adult ballet students, their stories, struggles, insights and recommendations is the most inspiring thing when the going gets tough.
We made a list of 9 most inspiring (according to us) Instagram accounts of adult ballerinas to bring you a generous portion of motivation just before Christmas.
Enjoy!

Jana is an adult ballerina living in Koln, Germany. Her account is a true inspiration for those who appreciate art more than sports in ballet. She makes her own ballet wear from her old clothes and shares beautiful ballet pictures of herself in unusual locations. It is a truly rare example of looking at adult ballet as pure art, not physical achievements.

Emily Barber calls herself a body-positive ballerina. Her account is proof that you do not need an "ideal" body to be a great (and flexible) dancer.
