This lifestyle may be unique and interesting, but it’s also extremely inaccessible. Ballet lovers, aspiring dancers, and newbie ballerinas don’t get to see the behind-the-scenes of their favorite art too often – it’s not like you can just walk up to a ballerina after a performance and ask her about her day.

Kathryn Morgan decided to change that. A classically-trained ballerina and soloist with Miami City Ballet, when she was still training, she had no one to turn to and ask even the most basic questions – how to deal with the pressure, what to look out for, what essential items can get you through your day. So now that she’s an established dancer, she has decided to give back to her community, and share her tips, tricks and advice on YouTube.

Kathryn’s videos range from hauls to debunking myths about ballet. She shares facts about her routine, her favorite items, even stories about her injuries. Through her channel, she makes the incredible world of ballet a bit more accessible and might help new audiences fall in love with this old, magical art.

Dancing is a physically demanding form of performance art, and for people with Scoliosis, it might even be impossible. Scoliosis is a disease that affects the spine, making it curve gradually and restrict movement. People with scoliosis suffer pain and discomfort, have to wear braces and sometimes even go under surgery to ease the symptoms.

Naturally, most patients with scoliosis don’t pick competitive sports as their first career choice. But Julia Carlile did. She’d been dancing all her life, even before she knew there was something wrong with her spine, and even though her Scoliosis is sever, all she wanted to do all her life is dance. Her condition has never stopped her from showcasing her natural talent, and she even competed in Britain’s Got Talent with her dance group, MerseyGirls, and won first place!

But here’s where it gets even more inspiring. On the show, Julia revealed that she would have to go to surgery, which would fix her spine, but would end her dancing career. A more advanced type of surgery that would allow her to keep dancing was available in the States, but she couldn’t afford it. When Simon Cowell, the leading judge of the show, heard her story, he decided to pay for her to go to the Stated and have the surgery there!

Thanks to Simon’s beautiful act of kindness, Julia can keep on dancing, and we hope she does do for many more years.

Bray has been making YouTube videos for six years, publishing them on his channel called Project One Life. In his 1,000 person dance video, we see him dancing the same choreography with a stream of strangers, which he later edited to work perfectly as a single-take video.

“The whole purpose of this channel is to enjoy the one life we are given and live life to the fullest,” Bray explains. “So that means in my videos I will travel, meet strangers, cross things off my bucket list, and just straight up have fun.”

Zhang Pengfei is a headmaster at Xi Guan Primary School in northern China. This awesome guy learned the moves of a particular dance style called “shuffle” and is doing it with his students every single morning.

Along with the principal, we see a few adult women, probably teachers, and a bunch of children in uniforms dancing like one. This is an awesome sight and would be a great practice in many other schools!
