Do you have on,one ballet classes

I really need to improve mt balance is there any way ro improve?

Your explanation of action/reaction is so incorrect.

This helps me a lot for my pirouettes

I tend to fall out of my turns, I will go around doubles but halfway through it I begin to tip

Im auditioning in June

Omg I LOVE this

I'm new to ballet and for my spring show with my group, towards the end I have to do a double pirouette in our contemporary piece. I know balance is definitely something I have to improve on, got any extra tips?

Fantastic video. I’m not a ballerina at all, but I’ve always loved the movements, the music, and the athleticism. Your breaking down the components and specifics to practice at each key point was fantastic! Thank you.

this will definitely gelp he win a fight.

This really helped me and i realized that my arms werent right so thank you a lot you helped very much ❤

Hi there! What would you suggest starting wise for exercise for strength and balance? I have little dance experience but looking to get back into it. Very hard to find classes in my area for adult "beginners"

These are the best tutorials I’ve come across wow 😮 so clear instructions no confusing like some videos absolutely brilliant thank so you

Omg this is the best video on the internet !!! Beats all the rest with this in one practice I’ve managed to do a turn and a half in one go ! Thank you so much

It's not degage! It's battement tendu at the beginning by the bar! Terrible arms and hands positions, ladies. And tuck your butts under, will you!

Man. This is very very helpful. More please!

Yes!

Uh what. Mispronunciation of degage, then calls a tendu a degage (girls at the barre)

Thank you❤

Hello! I am wondering why you dont post any more videos :( The videos were really helpful!

I love this guy! I wish I had an instructor like that when I was starting out!

so epic video thanks from argentina

I can do a double but it’s inconsistent. I’m really trying for a triple for me show next weekend. I only have one weekend left to fix my coordination.

It’s unreal his understanding of applied body mechanics and how he respects ballet dancers as the athlete/artists they are. I love the non-daintiness. Also, how much better would students do if we knew what we were actually trying to do broken down this way. It makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE

Is jete entournant the same as tour jete? Seems like two terms for the same movement

Perfect explaination!

you are amazing. Is it possible to learn pirouettes in 7 months? I am willing to spend a couple of hours everyday to practice. Please show me the routines that will help me learn the fundamentals fast? Thank you San

Love this!

That is not Grand jeté en tournant. Entrelacé!

Awesome tutorial!!!Thank you!!

Its perfect i just want say thank you so much for sharing this perfect videos

Excellent. Thank you

Eeek

9:31 wow

Great video omg! I love ballet but where I live there's only one half hour class a week which obviously isn't enough if I want to improve, so this is a big help :)

I’m in a Highschool dance class and we’re on a jazz unit and we have a routine to memorize and istg this class makes me want to cry but your video will help

The stretch-shortening cycle is happening, but it has nothing to do with the steps so much as loading the connective tissues and elastic components of the muscle-tendon unit to enhance the amount of force beyond what the contractile elements can produce. The SSC is simply spring-loading the muscles. So a good, fast plie uses the SSC to increase jump height, for example. Great vid(s) all in all!

Your videos are the best, help me to understand some details thank youuu

i have about 10 things ruining my pirouettes. I am aware of most of them. also i'm scared of hurting my knee, ankle and foot when the floor is not slippery enough. It is so hard trying to fix all of these problems at once, but if i fis only one bad habit at a time, i still won't be turning. you're right i should probably go back to practicing balance in retiré.

Not a fan of RAD, but appreciate your advice. Think you turned in Randal's feet too much. Good turnout, not a strength of the Royal Ballet School. Rather than to lessen turnout, better to teach it properly from the thighs, knees AND feet. The dancer's technique in the battement tendu jeté demonstration is terrible. Does not close properly in fifth. Sinks on the supporting side. Most importantly her arms. What can I say, chicken wings. Some of the reasons Russian dancers are the very best: they insist on proper turnout and teach it safely, great tendus through the feet and amazing upper body and arms - all taught from Day One. Having said that, I have subscribed to your channel, and value your comments and commitment to technique - something often missing in the West and unfortunately all too often a reason for lost dreams.

i am a classical ballet dancer who really struggles to keep my lower back in place. is there a way to make my posture in to a good habit rather than having my lower back out?

Very exciting class, only the background ,the clothes the floor same color with the windows bright, can't see clearly

Love your videos and hope for more! For some shots, it would be helpful to see multiple angles to properly assess the a angles of the feet :)

It was confusing when he talked about the arms and the arm not leading but the body moving with the arms but then never demonstrated how to do that! Or what to do! It’s like a huge chunk was missed out, so am now none the wiser of what to do with the arms as you ‘take off’. He jumped from the preparation t9 the ending with nothing in the middle. Please redo this video! I’m desperate as I have an exam in November xx

Loved the tips. Thanks, please keep posting

I see that you prefer not to cross the retiré , something that prefered too, when I was young, finding easier to keep my thigh and knee open.Just , out of curiosity, what is your explanation of not crossing it?

I admire your reasoning, and wisdom!

Love your videos, have watched them all. I hope you will do more.

I love your videos! Could you make a video on double tours?

Excellent tips!
