As a former dancer myself, Hannah Neeleman’s success on social media is unsurprising to me. She is a small, pretty, white, and likable star, descriptors that could just as easily apply to a famous trad wife as to a prima ballerina. She is a consummate performer, even though she gave up the stage.
On @Ballerinafarm, the hugely popular Instagram account run by Hannah Neeleman—a farmer, social media influencer, former Juillard ballerina, and mother of eight—there is a video in which she dances in a field, surrounded by cows. Her jeans are ripped at the knees, her feet are bare, and her long, glossy blond hair is pulled away from her face, just as it would have been in her former life as a ballet dancer.
Though she gave up the stage years ago, she remains a consummate performer. Of course, it would be unfair to blame ballet solely for Neeleman’s beliefs around womanhood; her Mormon faith has certainly had a large part in shaping those. Still, as Turning Pointe writer Chloe Angyal told Momfluenced author Sara Petersen in Petersen’s newsletter, “it’s not Ballet Farm. It’s Ballerina Farm. We’re talking about the feminine person version of this dance form.
