If you’ve spent any time on TikTok lately, you might’ve caught a small glimpse into what it’s like for Brooke Wilson to embark on the next phase of her ballet career — a role she’s been preparing for since she first twirled through a Dover dance studio at age 3.
More than 61,000 people subscribe to Wilson’s feed, @brookeeliza11, a kind of virtual journal of her life as a soon-to-be professional ballerina, from the glamorous (like the pirouettes and panoramic sunset views from her Miami dorm) to the not-so-glamorous (like the unfiltered posts about blisters, foot stretches and shin splints) to the mundane (like the no-frills video of Wilson breaking in a new pair of pointe shoes that’s been watched 8.8 million times).
