A haircut before Nutcracker, and Lori Hernandez's ballet feet that work like hands
Eight Shorts from the professional ballerina's week, with a salon visit, a thank-you package and a Sugar Plum get-ready all pointing toward December.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
FEET LIKE HANDS #ballerina#feet#funny#ballet#dancer#prep#warmup#athlete#stretching
Two days old and already the busiest thing on the channel: "FEET LIKE HANDS" is Lori Hernandez showing off the kind of toe control years of pointe work build, filed under warmup, stretching and, per its own tags, funny. It is moving several times faster than anything else she posted this week.
The rest of the week reads like a countdown to Nutcracker season. The professional ballet dancer went to the salon for a "HAIRCUT BEFORE NUTCRACKER," which became the week's most watched upload at a little over 50,000 views. The comment section is almost entirely about the cut itself: the layers, how it frames her face, how much thicker it looks. One viewer who danced Clara three decades ago writes that she is excited to see Lori take on the role as a grown-up.
Around it sit a thank-you package unboxing tagged with Sugar Plum, a get-ready-with-me that leans the same way, and new toe pads for the pointe shoes. October gets its due too, with a ghost-themed outfit and a fall cold brew posted only a day ago that is already pulling in viewers quickly.
The channel as a whole kept its usual steady rhythm, with about a thousand new subscribers on the week. Among dance channels near her size, Mia Van Haarlem is the one running well ahead of her usual pace, while Jasmin and James Dance is having a calmer stretch than normal.
And an older Short, "MY DAILY CHECKLIST," is still finding people eleven days on.

The haircut is beautiful and frames your face well. It also looks super thick now!
@suthernbellaSee it on YouTubeLooks beautiful as always. I am so excited for you to play Clara as a grown up. Clara is probably the best thing I ever did in my life. Still doesn’t feel like it was 31 years ago.
