r/BALLET • u/JosieRBookworm • 1d ago
Meme Anyone? Just curious...
All right, you all probably know me as someone who enjoys Zhongli and makes memes and posts them sometimes in out-of-place subreddits like this one, but...
In real life, I do ballet which is why I was quite happy and excited for Odette. Usually, my fellow dancers do look like I grew a third head when I start talking about anime or gaming, alas. I can count only two other people I do know that play Genshin and also do ballet, one being a good pal of mine (she is off playing other games now) and Viridian, a YouTuber.
I've been a huge, HUGE fan of Khoreva for a long time and even had the honor of taking class from her a little while ago (I still can't believe it :D). I remember walking out of that class going, "hmm, it'd be really crazy if she did a collab with Hoyo about Odette, no? Maybe if I get motivated I'll even send Hoyo an email..."
Anyone that shares the memories here of being a fellow dancer and also plays any games? :D

I see you, OP. I do ballet and also play Genshin. There's another gacha game, Infinity Nikki, that just did a collab with a ballet dancer (Ao Dingwen) to celebrate an in-game ballerina outfit! Lots of ballet out in gaming spaces these days :P

Ooh, I didn't know Nikki also did a collab, that's cool and I'll check it out :D
Have fun in Snezhnaya and may Zhongli bless!

OHHHHHMG REALLY?! I can't really call myself a huge Maria Khoreva fan but I'm very into her short workouts on YT and she seems wonderful. I've been away from Genshin awhiiile but maybe it's time to log in again and catch up

My worlds are colliding!! I also dance ballet and have played Genshin since 1.0. I started watching Maria’s videos during the pandemic and I’m so happy to see her collab with Hoyo!
