I am so happy I discovered your class. I am 74 and have always loved ballet -- Now I can find balance, muscle strength, posture, energy, and confidence as I practice and repeat...practice and repeat. When I go to the grocery store tomorrow I'll be smiling and thinking, 'I'll bet I'm the only 74 year-old in this store who took a long and challenging ballet class yesterday!!' With love and appreciation to you!
I’m 21 and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get that good at ballet, due to starting so late and that I also have some issues with my hips. Though I love ballet so much, I love how it makes me feel and I love watching it. I’m really just doing this for me and to make myself fee good. This series is so great.
I'm 23 and have very little strength or flexibility, even after years of doing yoga, and have somewhat misaligned knees, so I know I'll never be "good". What matters is we're doing things that make our bodies feel amazing and finding the joy in the art :D
What an absolute gift it is to provide these ballet classes to people all over who, for whatever reason, cannot make it to regular classes. You are an angel!
Hi! I’m a 19 yo guy and, even if I think it’s too late, I’d like to join a ballet class. I can’t join a real one now because of COVID situation, but I’m trying the basis on my own and this video is wonderful , I’m slowly getting an idea of what a real ballet class should be like! Thank you very much for spreading knowledge on ballet and inspiring guys like me too!
You guys encouraged me. Im 17 and will try my best. Although i dont have enough money for shoes and classes but hey something is better than nothing right. Thank you ❤️
I started at 27 and kept at it for a year and half, was surprised at all the benefits to posture, strength, flexibility, and coordination. Truly never too late!
I’m a dancer and I have to say, you’re an amazing teacher! Seriously, you explained everything perfectly, the terminology, how to prevent injuries by practicing good technique, all while making students feel comfortable about making mistakes and learning more about their bodies. Ballet creates such an awareness of the body, and it’s beautiful that it’s becoming available to everyone.🥰
I wanted to do ballet since I was small, but i never had the courage to do so ' cause of the way how my body looked and we didn't have the money either. Now a really good friend of mine dances ballet and I told her that I wanted to do so too and she is so supportive. Without her i wouldn't even have thought of doing want I wanted to do for so long. But now because of Covid I can't start classes and I still have to improve my flexibility 'cause i just started( not even a month ago) and i'm turning sixteen in 1/2 months. I'm so happy/ thankful that you made these videos, because without them I wouldn't even really know where to start 😊
This seems interesting! I’m a violin student but I also like to do ballet for hobby. And the fact that you started ballet at 16 years old inspires me 💖
I was actually planning on learning how to play one but I've been delaying it because everyone keeps saying it's too late. I'm 18, can I still give it a try And is it hard?
@@LittleMsWanderer as far as I know, learning something new at that age isn’t too late. They said that we can learn anything new whether we’re adult or teen or even at the higher age. Learning the violin is hard but at the same time its fun. Many musicians struggle even professionals still struggle. Have fun learning the violin!
Im 12, (seventh grader) known as the mean tomboy everywhere. I’ve had a passion for ballet since 4. Never until now had a professional help. This means so much the fact this is a free and online class like lesson. Thank you. So very much.
I can’t explain how extremely grateful and happy I am that you’ve made this video. I’m 26 and I’ve always wanted to do ballet I’m starting my journey now. I’ve spent days looking for a proper place to start. Thank you for explaining everything and making it so simple. I have such a long way to go but this video is amazingly helpful and it doesn’t make it feel so intimidating!
I am 15 years old and I loved ballet since the age of 10. It was difficult for me and required courage, and now I have returned to achieve my dream. Best wishes❤️
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions, check out my FAQ video before asking~ I also forgot to mention that I recommend taking the class 2-3 times before moving on. I would start off with 1-2 classes a week if you are new to dance.
Im 53 and living my dreams again. I stopped doing ballet in my late teens and just too embarassed to join classes but now i can do everything i loved about ballet from home. This makes me feel great. Thank you 🌸
I am 16 and I have loved dance since I was little my parents couldn't pay for classes so when I discovered this my whole day lit up for me! thank you so much!☺👌
My mom was 27 when she started ballet for a short period of time and she said you can get used to it for like a month or so. I'm 19 and I really want to try and learn ballet. Thank you so much for this video.
I’m 29, and I haven’t done ballet since I was 7. Recently, I’ve been thinking how much I’d love to start again after all these years, but I haven’t had the money to pursue it yet. Today, I stumbled across your videos, and I have to say,I love love your content! 💕I completed my first class with you, and it felt amazing.The way you explain everything with such kindness and clarity is truly amazing ❤️🩰
I’m 27 and I danced for years when I was younger (like 16-22). I’ve never had a dancer body so I left it. Been getting back into it for my mental health and it’s so amazing to have a video that’s not made for toddlers!
I’m 25 and always wanted to try ballet but my parents couldn’t afford it. Now I’ve run through all of your Beginner’s Ballet classes twice practicing because they’re so instructive and well paced. Thank you so much for making these!!
Thank you so much for your videos. I’m 46 and have never danced in my life but have always been interested in ballet. I’m looking forward to improving my strength and flexibility by following along(although not exactly gracefully)😂
I’m 33, and although I’ve been interested in ballet for years now, but couldn’t find an adult class. Thank you so much for this! You’re an excellent teacher and I was able to easily follow along. The class was challenging, but I didn’t feel like it was frustratingly beyond my ability. I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the next classes!
I'm a 14 years old boy and i love to dance but i'm scared to go to an ballet class this videos are realy helping me to get more confedence in ballet so i hope that er came a part 4 so i can train more.
I’m not a beginner and have done ballet ever since I was little. But for the past few years, I’ve been dealing with a chronic illness and I have missed a lot of ballet. I wasn’t able to start classes this fall because I’m just not physically able to handle a strict schedule like that. This is amazing because I can do a class whenever I’m feeling up to it. After finishing this video, my body feels so great! I really think I needed to go back to the basics and start from scratch because my technique had been lacking so much. I love that you do a light workout and stretch at the end, it will definitely help with my procrastination. I’ve been feeling really discouraged lately and you have no idea how great this made me feel! I am so excited to do more of these classes!!!
I am 19 years old and I am just now getting into ballet. I wanted lessons when I was young but I was way too shy. I regret not taking lessons as a kid now but you’re giving me a second chance. Thank you so much for this video! I cannot wait to see how much progress I make.
"Navillera" made me look for this I danced till I was 12 did all my exams but body gave out, at 44 am going to give it a go again it's never too late. Thank you for the video x
I'm 24, and I'm starting my adult ballet at home lessons from you! You should be proud of yourself because you're teaching us free of charge and so on point. Thank you so much. Please continue your kindness ❤😭
cannot thank you enough for uploading this!! I'm 22 and I have always wanted to dance ballet but I have a musical theatre dance background, and resources like this are exactly what I am looking for! I am so excited for more lessons from you, thank you for taking the time and effort to do this for people like me! :)
I've always wanted to learn ballet, but my family doesn't approve plus I can't afford ballet academy classes. I'm really really grateful for your classes.
Thank you so much for this class. I am 65 years old, always wanted to dance, and took my very first adult beginner class last Saturday. It was advertised as for the absolute beginner as well as the ongoing beginner students. Between the Zoom challenges of a live streaming class, and my lack of a ballet barre/terminology, it was a near disaster (not mention being called out by the teacher for stopping because I had no idea what I was doing). I am determined, and will be doing your class several times before next Saturday. You are lifesaver! (Ordered a ballet barre from Amazon...should be here by Friday.)
Oh goodness, what an experience! Now that you got the first class out of the way, the 2nd one will definitely go more smoothly. I'm glad my video is useful :)
That's awful that you got called out like that, it shouldn't have even happened at all! That ballet teacher shouldn't even be teaching if she cannot even be supportive of everyone in the room at all. I'm gonna call that very bad sportsmanship! (Even if it might not be considered a term in ballet, but dance is a sport as well so I think it should be included with this as well). When I took Tennis for the first time in High School, we were going against each other, 1 team of maybe 10 girls against the other 10 and my team lost. Due to frustration I lost my cool and threw my tennis racket down at the ground. The teacher called me out in front of everyone for showing bad sportsmanship and made me do a little punishment for it. It was maybe a little bit embarrassing but I learned my lesson and understood that it can be very negative behavior not only towards myself but to my teammates as well! I appreciate that teacher so much and appreciate her for her expertise and fairness. Wish you could have known that and called your teacher out for bad sportsmanship right then and there, because it should have never happened. A professional teacher will never show bad sportsmanship like that no matter the sport. I hope that in the future she treats you with the same respect you treat her with. If she does it again, please don't hesitate for calling her out and telling her she's doing bad sportsmanship and you can maybe even add the line, "you maybe the professional ballet teacher over me but I can be your professional teacher in good sportsmanship" and if she says or anyone says ballet isn't a sport you can say, "I'll stop you right there, ballet is a form of dance which is a physical movement of the body therefore making it a sport." I hope you read my message and that I can help you stick up for your rights! :) you should never be humiliated. Even if you don't take it as humiliation at all, it should have still never happened. I just really want to help you out when it comes to people like that.
Thank you. I quit ballet when I was younger and regretted it as I grew older. I'm 18 now and always wondered how good I would be if I never stopped. I always felt like it was just too late and that I was too different to be apart of something so beautiful. But I've realized I only live once. This video helped me feel inspired to learn because I'm still young and it's never too late. I can't wait to keep learning through these lessons with you as my teacher
I have always wanted to do ballet, but I cant find anyone who could teach me and also I cant afford it lol.. but thank you so much for this! I'm now 20 and I can finally do what I want
I started ballet and tap at 2 years old but quit when I turned 13, I hated getting ready for lessons lol I’m just discovering this channel now at 25 years old and I’m so excited I did! You’ve reignited my passion for dance!
Thuan, I don't know how to thank you for these classes. I was formerly a very active person, and now have MS, and I thought my days of movement were over. My eyes fill up when I do these classes, because they make me feel strong and graceful and capable of anything. Your classes have quite literally changed my life. Thank you a million times over.
I'm 12 and always loved ballet when I was younger I used to go to ballet class but I couldn't afford anymore so I stopped doing ballet for years I really missed and I'm glad I found you! Your my savor, and really nice! I glad I found you and still like ballet, thank you!
Last week I took my first ballet class. I'm 26 years old. I can't tell you how helpful and encouraging this video is. Thank you so much! Your positivity is inspiring.
Finally a class for REAL beginners! The RIGHT classic music (at last, seems not to be a thing anymore) Clear, slow, challengy but easy at the same time. Great psychological retribution. Thank you, this is precious!
I turned 17 yesterday, and this is one of my goals this year, to learn ballet. Even if I’m not going to become a professional ballet dancer, I just love the moves of it, so, thank you. When you said you started ballet at 17 I felt like I’m okay and I can do it, I really appreciate you.
I turned 18 recently and I feel the same way. I've always wanted to do ballet and I finally but my foot down and decided to start. Classes are a bit pricey and I just came across this channel so I'm really excited. I hope maybe one day in a couple years I'm strong enough to get on Pointe, as well work on my posture/physique overall!!
I am 55. I always wanted to take ballet lessons. It reminds me of the time when my daughter first started ballet at 3. She has bad knees, so she had to stop when she was 11. It’s never too late to start ballet. Thank you for teaching us.
Sweetie please don't ever remove this series. This is where I'm learning. I'm actually getting this. I've always had a learning disability and I have to do this everyday , I have arthritis in my spine but this is very good for me. I've only got to the ronde de Jambe. I have sjogrens an autoimmune disease so my body gets worn quickly. But I couldn't do any before. I am determined to get all the way through. This class , your teaching is an answer to prayer for me. I found the newer series and commented on there but I hope you don't remove this series. Thankyou so so so much ❤cannot express enough how much this means to me ❤❤❤❤
I always dream about doing ballet, i was so much into it after watching barbie movies but unfortunately we don't have much ballet institutions in our country so It was nxt to impossible for me to learn ballet, after this channel o guess I gotta thank you and learn till the end... I just wanna enjoy dancing, keep making these videos thank you😇😚😚
I am 14 i’ve always wanted to dance. I love everything about it. When i was 9 I took a class for the first time, although i loved it so much An older girl in my class ruined it for me. I wasn’t able to even think about doing in person classes again. Thank you so much for these videos ❤
Don't worry I have had a similar experience, ballet classes tend to be quite a toxic environment.. I was made fun of for my weight even though I'm not overweight I'm just not skinny like all of them. Couldn't handle it anymore and after 10 years of ballet I finally left. Now I want to start again but I am too scared to go back to an actual studio so these videos are perfect
im 11 years old and ive always wanted to be a ballerina and im so glad i could find your videos!! my parents arent able to pay and take me to classes so this is perfect!! thank you!
Today, I took my first ever ballet class with you, and I had so much fun ! It was very hard, and even though I feel tired, I also feel energized and motivated to keep pushing ! I really enjoy you telling your story, it made the class feel more real and more personal, so thank you ! I am going to keep practicing this class a few more times before moving on to the next class ! (Stretching to ballet music is something I never done, and it really adds to my motivation !) Thank you so much !
I always wanted to learn ballet.... But my conditions aren't so good so I can't tell my parents to add more burden on them....... And also because of covid19 ..... But now I can learn it .... Really thank you ❤️. May you always live happily 🙏❤️❤️
I'm 12 and I was thinking of taking lessons but was too scared that it was too late. Your lesson gave me the courage to start! Thank you for being kind, working at a slow pace and not minding if we aren't perfect. These are the kind of people that make the word a better place, even if it was just one, small ballet lesson, it was still a kind, thoughtful thing to do for us beginners!
It's not too late for you at all! I started dancing at 18 and I'm a professional salsa dancer now at 27. I wish I had the courage to start at 12, I was too shy and I always regretted starting "later". Great job starting now at 12, you have your whole life ahead of you to enjoy dancing, go for it!! :)
i’m 16 and started ballet at 16 and my only regret is not starting at 15 lol i really hope you find a way to get into a class so many world class ballerinas started at 13 don’t be embarrassed, you’ll figure it out!
I’m 43, and finally can do something as I always wanted and didn’t have time and money to do. Now I can play your videos and do anytime at home. I can’t thanks enough. Wishing you the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️
you're so sweet! thank you. I used to do ballet when I was a little girl but then something happened to me hours before the final year dance. I danced and everything... but since then I stopped taking classes. I have gone to some classes as an adult but they were too harsh and fast. I was not in tune with the teacher I believe. I needed something more loving, with the singing of the movements and everything as you do it! Even more than to dance, this is to heal ♥
I'm 44. My wife recommended I try the barre about 3 years ago because as I was getting older, despite continuing to do judo (from my teens!) I wasn't as flexible anymore. Being stiff in a fighting sport, one can very easily get injured so I tried the first 10 minutes at the barre for a couple of months and it worked. She then recommended I stay for the entire class. I'm the only male and the only person not actually a lifelong dancer so I was incredibly nervous but tried it anyway. I couldn't follow the routines and on the floor, I looked like a bear getting ready to attack the dancers on either side of me. I felt ridiculous! But kept at it. Now I'm...better... for a guy who started in his forties. It's a shame I discovered so late in life how much the discipline of ballet could improve other physical activities because it's really improved my judo but ballet is special in its own right. I'm still doing it 3 days a week with my wife's class and loving it! I love how it makes me feel in control of my whole body! My balance, breathing and overall posture have improved, it's vastly improved my "uchi mata" (basically, imagine using the extended leg of your arabesque to help you throw someone over your hip!), and it actually makes me feel calm! Had I known anything about ballet as a younger man I would have tried it then. But you can't control the past, you only have agency over what you do from here on in and I love the challenge.
Thank you so much for your videos, you have inspired me to finally begin fulfilling my dreams of doing ballet. I'm 16 and thought I was too late, coming across you're videos has changed my life, thank you :)
I do ballet for over 4 years, and basic classes are so necessary in every level. After some weeks barely without exercise this got me sweating. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! for yor effort, help and inspiration. I am 21, a beginner to ballet and this really helps me to get into everything. And hopefully learn to move my body the way I always dreamt to do. I apprechiate the time you take for this and your love for ballet and teaching. Looking forward to the next lesson :) have a great day!
I attended ballet school two times a week, one hours each, and when I got home, I didn't remember all my teachers teaches me, so you helping me a lot to practice 😊
I'm 23 and always wanted to dance ballet but i was too shy as a kid and now I feel like I'm too old... This video gives me so much joy and my inner child is crying happy tears. Thank you!
I’m so grateful for these videos because thanks to them I’m able to start dancing ballet. I’m 18 and I have always loved ballet, but I was ashamed to ask my parents for ballet lessons, but now I can start learning and I’m over the moon about it. ❤
Dunno if you'll read this, but ive always wanted to be in ballet. We didn't have enough money growing up. I felt kind of embarrassed being 23 and wanting to start. I just wanted to thank you for your videos. During the pandemic I've picked up guitar baking I'm grateful that i can finally add ballet to my growing just of hobbies 💕✨
I just want to say THANK YOU so so so much! Yesterday, I finally got to take part of my biggest dream and go to my first official ballet lesson here in Munich, Germany. I thought i signed up for the beginners class and mistakenly signed up for an experienced class. The first 30 minutes of the 2 hour class, I wanted to run out of the class go home and cry on my bed. I sweat, i felt embarrassed and shocked. The only thing that kept me planted firmly there and going was my knowledge i picked up over many days of doing this video over and over at home the past 2 years for fun. At the end of the 2 hours many ballerinas came up to me and said despite it being my first class, it was great I stayed and i should never be worried as we all had to start somewhere. The absolute beginner class i found out take place on wednesdays and im so excited!!!
Thank you for this! I did ballet in my elementary-high school years and got up to dancing en pointe, but that was about 15 years ago! So although I remember a lot of the terminology and still have a lot of muscle memory, strength- and flexibility-wise I'm basically a beginner again. Those eleves and releves at the end kicked my butt! lol Like you mentioned, it's very difficult to find beginner classes for adults who just want to do it for fun/fitness and are not looking to go into it professionally, so this is really great. Also loved the chat and stretch at the end, it gave a very chill and friendly vibe. I'm looking forward to working through more of these, after I go through this one a few more times. Subscribed :)
You are so precious! Thank you for putting this together. I teach adults and they wanted me to send them an approved video for them to do at home when not in my class. I choose THIS ONE! You did a great job and it is perfect for my ladies! Thank you!
Thank you very much. It was a wonderful practice to do as a beginner. The sound is good and the camera is well focused on the parts of the body that are working!
I quit ballet when I was around 6, and im now regretting it because ballet is just so beautiful. I want to start again, but i want to be able to remember the basics so i can be ready for in person classes. These online classes are so helpful. I love you videos and I encourage you to keep going because you are such a good teacher and dancer, and you are so helpful to so many people. Thank you for these videos!
Never too old to start! I’m 31 and always wanted to learn ballet dancing, we couldn’t afford it growing up. I’ll never be a prima ballerina but I’m excited to finally pursue my dream of learning ballet! Thank you for these videos!
Thanks for doing what you’re doing! I’m 13 and have always wanted to do dance (it started with a couple of ballet classes when I was 3, imagine how much easier this video would have been if I kept going at it!) But I could never get back in because I thought I was too old or because I was embarrassed to ask my parents. I can’t get to classes because I live in a small town and COVID, but these are so cool! They’re slow paced, simple to understand beginner-friendly and FREE! I love how you’re managing to do this and I love reading the stories in the comments, it’s kind of inspiring, actually.
When I was a kid, I really wanted to learn ballet, but there was always something that came in the way. Today I was just randomly dancing in my room like I remember ballet to look like, and thought to myself, why not just actually learn it for real, like I always wanted to. So here I am! :)
I'm also 16 and it's my 1st time in ballet and i loved ballet since since i was a kid so i decided to work on myself so i can do a little of ballet at home since my parents can't afford ballet classes so thank you so much for this video it really helps a lot especially for people like my case!🤗🦋
I am 15 and same although my parents can probably afford ballet classes but they probably won't be able to afford the shoes cause you have change it every now and then 😅
Thuan, thank you so much for these classes. I’m 63 and studied ballet till Elementary level. I’m thrilled to be able to work with your online classes and get my balance and core strength back while doing something I love. I have a replaced hip that doesn’t bother me at all in these exercises but bad knees so grand pliés be issue so I just do what I can. Again, Thuan thank you for this opportunity. ❤
I am 16 years ballet has always been part of my dreams but my family doesn't support me and can't afford to pay my ballet class but due to this am grateful ❤
ım 11 and ı crıed half an hour because ı didnt go to ballet at 3. ı thought ı was really old for this and learning ballet was my biggest dream of all. now ı can reach my dreams with your help. ım sooo gratefull. thank you so much :33
Ohh this really helps me... I was gymnast but now I'm doing another sport... ballet "classes" like this really helps me gain flexibility and power in small muscules I need hihi
You are such a kind and genuine person. Even though these moves are quite difficult for me, I feel encouraged. Especially in the stretching section haha, I can't even cross my legs into a comfortable sitting position. 🤣
Hello Thuan! I am so happy and grateful to have found you. I just took this class and I will do them all!!! I'm almost 45 years old and it was the first time I did ballet. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and in such a loving and easy way. A hug
No entiendo mucho Inglés pero idk el ballet se entiende en todos los idioma además de pequeña tome clases durante años pero por cosas de la vida lo deje aunque debo admitir que siempre tuve pasión y el otro día cuando seguí una rutina me dieron ganas de llorar fue mágico, como si el tiempo no hubiera pasado no tengo dinero asi que esto es algo que agradezco son tan parecidos a las clases de cuando era pequeña y casi con la misma musica Thanks you!!!❤
My mind: ooh! Yay! I can’t wait to try this ballet! I stand up and tried to do the first warm up move. I had forgotten. I am only 11 and I have a severe ingrown toenail that needs surgery soon. I wish I could do ballet. I am rather good at it. Or… was. Give this comment I like if u want me to get better. 👇
I cannot emphasize how much of a gift this is. I have been thinking of starting ballet for years, but since I know the training can be intense, I always thought it was too large of a commitment I could make. I stumbled upon this video yesterday and I cannot tell you how delighted I felt looking through the videos on your channel, seeing all the lessons available so far. I often learn dances myself on youtube, but sometimes it can grow tiresome and tedious, and I can't seem to find the motivation to continue. These however, are proper lessons I can follow, I get tips, and I have an interesting person to listen to! Thank you so so much!
To be honest I started out thinking this lesson would be too slow for me. By the time we got through the one legged relevés I was dying (but in a good way lol)! Thanks for a great lesson! ^_^
Wow, such a great class! I am a previous dancer, in my early thirties now with very young children and completely out of shape. I have started to retrain at home after almost 5 years of immobility. Since I don't have the means to get to a proper dance class, I searched for something on TH-cam and came across your channel. Thank you for helping me to ignite the flame again. I feel my old friends, my muscles, working again and it is the most wonderful feeling. I am ALIVE! Thank you!
I'm 14 and my family doesn't have enough money for classes and I always wanted to do dance. Thank you so much for this.😁😀

Same. But I’m 13. We don’t have time to do it so this really helped!!

I am so happy I discovered your class. I am 74 and have always loved ballet -- Now I can find balance, muscle strength, posture, energy, and confidence as I practice and repeat...practice and repeat. When I go to the grocery store tomorrow I'll be smiling and thinking, 'I'll bet I'm the only 74 year-old in this store who took a long and challenging ballet class yesterday!!' With love and appreciation to you!
Oh wow, you are greatly, stunning. I am 62 and Love Ballett so much. I want to try it. Greetings from Germany 🌹🌹🌹🔝
Lovely!
Congratulations and thank you so much for your wonderful lessons! 👏👏👌👌👌💞💞💞
I love the work and dedication you all put into ballet,it truly is amazing!❤
Wow it was kinda hard but I’m only 10
I'm an 18 yo guy who's been wanting to learn ballet for years but never had the guts to take lessons - thank you so much for this!!!
Hey I lost hope becoming one but because of a sing ballerina music box i got hope again
Meee and i started

@beluev★ yes
@beluev★ oh I was a little wobbly at first but it went great and I felt good after it, gonna do the 2 lesson today!💟💟
I’m obese and wouldn’t dare sign up for a ballet class in public so this is unbelievably amazing. Thank you so much.
❤you are in the right path taking care of yourself
And I thought my age (14) was too old, time to live one of my dreams! Thank you!
I'm 18 y old and still want to learn 👊💜
I am 19 and trying to learn. Always try to achieve your goals.
@@anonymous9074 thank you both of you, i just turned 15 but i won’t let it stop me, i’m just waiting for summer classes to pop up
I'm 13 nd same I thought you had to be doing it from really little like four years old
I am 23 and I wanna learn. And I will!
I’m 21 and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get that good at ballet, due to starting so late and that I also have some issues with my hips. Though I love ballet so much, I love how it makes me feel and I love watching it. I’m really just doing this for me and to make myself fee good. This series is so great.
dont worry after lots of practice anyone can do anything and i hope your hip issues get healed up
Starting same age, its never too late keep it up, u will be proud❤
I'm 23 and have very little strength or flexibility, even after years of doing yoga, and have somewhat misaligned knees, so I know I'll never be "good". What matters is we're doing things that make our bodies feel amazing and finding the joy in the art :D
How's going on!
I’m am just starting and am 22! We got this!❤
What an absolute gift it is to provide these ballet classes to people all over who, for whatever reason, cannot make it to regular classes. You are an angel!
I'm 17 and just graduated highschool but my parents don't think of ballet as seriously as I do, I'm the most thankful for this, you're amazing
I'm 17 too girl, I will start ballet now
What’s high school like?
I want to know before I go
Hi! I’m a 19 yo guy and, even if I think it’s too late, I’d like to join a ballet class. I can’t join a real one now because of COVID situation, but I’m trying the basis on my own and this video is wonderful , I’m slowly getting an idea of what a real ballet class should be like! Thank you very much for spreading knowledge on ballet and inspiring guys like me too!
I am a almost 21 year old girl. And even though i think its quite late to start its never too late :D how did you do with this class?
You guys encouraged me. Im 17 and will try my best. Although i dont have enough money for shoes and classes but hey something is better than nothing right. Thank you ❤️
Im 23 and im starting
I started at 27 and kept at it for a year and half, was surprised at all the benefits to posture, strength, flexibility, and coordination. Truly never too late!
Hey, I'm 53! You're never too old. ☺️
I’m a dancer and I have to say, you’re an amazing teacher! Seriously, you explained everything perfectly, the terminology, how to prevent injuries by practicing good technique, all while making students feel comfortable about making mistakes and learning more about their bodies. Ballet creates such an awareness of the body, and it’s beautiful that it’s becoming available to everyone.🥰
I wanted to do ballet since I was small, but i never had the courage to do so ' cause of the way how my body looked and we didn't have the money either. Now a really good friend of mine dances ballet and I told her that I wanted to do so too and she is so supportive. Without her i wouldn't even have thought of doing want I wanted to do for so long. But now because of Covid I can't start classes and I still have to improve my flexibility 'cause i just started( not even a month ago) and i'm turning sixteen in 1/2 months. I'm so happy/ thankful that you made these videos, because without them I wouldn't even really know where to start 😊
I am 67 and I've been having balance issues. I think this is the perfect class for me to strength my legs while having fun.
I have issues too during class❤
This seems interesting! I’m a violin student but I also like to do ballet for hobby. And the fact that you started ballet at 16 years old inspires me 💖
In also a violin student
@@loviearmstrong6624 Amazing! Let’s continue doing what we love ❤️
I was actually planning on learning how to play one but I've been delaying it because everyone keeps saying it's too late.
I'm 18, can I still give it a try
And is it hard?
@@LittleMsWanderer as far as I know, learning something new at that age isn’t too late. They said that we can learn anything new whether we’re adult or teen or even at the higher age. Learning the violin is hard but at the same time its fun. Many musicians struggle even professionals still struggle. Have fun learning the violin!
@AALIYAH BARRETT goodluck!
Im 12, (seventh grader) known as the mean tomboy everywhere. I’ve had a passion for ballet since 4. Never until now had a professional help. This means so much the fact this is a free and online class like lesson. Thank you. So very much.
Same it has been hard for me to do something like ballet when I'm known as a tomboy
I can’t explain how extremely grateful and happy I am that you’ve made this video. I’m 26 and I’ve always wanted to do ballet I’m starting my journey now. I’ve spent days looking for a proper place to start. Thank you for explaining everything and making it so simple. I have such a long way to go but this video is amazingly helpful and it doesn’t make it feel so intimidating!
Same here! I'm 26 and was feeling way too old to start learning...but no one is ever to old to learn and have fun 😁
25 and in the same place you guys are! Gonna start incorporating this into my after class workout routine!
I am 15 years old and I loved ballet since the age of 10. It was difficult for me and required courage, and now I have returned to achieve my dream. Best wishes❤️
Thanks for watching! If you have any questions, check out my FAQ video before asking~ I also forgot to mention that I recommend taking the class 2-3 times before moving on. I would start off with 1-2 classes a week if you are new to dance.
hi! i really enjoyed this lesson. im 14 and want to start ballet but im realllllllyyyyy tall (6ft) and im not sure if thats a good height for ballet?
Hello! When you started ballet, were you very flexible?
Hi! I am a 10 year old girl and I am a little fat. And I am already 5 ft. Can I do ballet?
@@afnanzarin6076 yes! absolutely! your weight or height do not matter at all.
@@alexandraapostoaei6993 height doesn’t matter! but the taller the better haha
Im 53 and living my dreams again. I stopped doing ballet in my late teens and just too embarassed to join classes but now i can do everything i loved about ballet from home. This makes me feel great. Thank you 🌸
I haven't done ballet since I was a young girl, this was so fun that I couldn't stop smiling. Thank you.
I am 16 and I have loved dance since I was little my parents couldn't pay for classes so when I discovered this my whole day lit up for me! thank you so much!☺👌
My mom was 27 when she started ballet for a short period of time and she said you can get used to it for like a month or so. I'm 19 and I really want to try and learn ballet. Thank you so much for this video.
I’m 29, and I haven’t done ballet since I was 7. Recently, I’ve been thinking how much I’d love to start again after all these years, but I haven’t had the money to pursue it yet. Today, I stumbled across your videos, and I have to say,I love love your content! 💕I completed my first class with you, and it felt amazing.The way you explain everything with such kindness and clarity is truly amazing ❤️🩰
I’m 27 and I danced for years when I was younger (like 16-22). I’ve never had a dancer body so I left it. Been getting back into it for my mental health and it’s so amazing to have a video that’s not made for toddlers!
I’m 25 and always wanted to try ballet but my parents couldn’t afford it. Now I’ve run through all of your Beginner’s Ballet classes twice practicing because they’re so instructive and well paced. Thank you so much for making these!!
did you see any change in your body ?
Thank you so much for your videos. I’m 46 and have never danced in my life but have always been interested in ballet. I’m looking forward to improving my strength and flexibility by following along(although not exactly gracefully)😂
I'm glad you like the videos and also happy to hear that you are starting ballet :)
Me too and I'm gonna start with myself at home 😆
I’m 33, and although I’ve been interested in ballet for years now, but couldn’t find an adult class. Thank you so much for this! You’re an excellent teacher and I was able to easily follow along. The class was challenging, but I didn’t feel like it was frustratingly beyond my ability. I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the next classes!
I just turned 33 and discovered this video. Nice to see someone on a similar path as me 😊
I'm a 14 years old boy and i love to dance but i'm scared to go to an ballet class this videos are realy helping me to get more confedence in ballet so i hope that er came a part 4 so i can train more.
Ballet needs more male dancers and you will be cherished if you go into classes:)
i hope you get a real chance to dance if it's what you love, no art or sport should have a gender ❤️
you got this!!!
How's it going bud?
@@user-hornyforadventure still training once a week at home
I’m not a beginner and have done ballet ever since I was little. But for the past few years, I’ve been dealing with a chronic illness and I have missed a lot of ballet. I wasn’t able to start classes this fall because I’m just not physically able to handle a strict schedule like that. This is amazing because I can do a class whenever I’m feeling up to it. After finishing this video, my body feels so great! I really think I needed to go back to the basics and start from scratch because my technique had been lacking so much. I love that you do a light workout and stretch at the end, it will definitely help with my procrastination. I’ve been feeling really discouraged lately and you have no idea how great this made me feel! I am so excited to do more of these classes!!!
I am 19 years old and I am just now getting into ballet. I wanted lessons when I was young but I was way too shy. I regret not taking lessons as a kid now but you’re giving me a second chance. Thank you so much for this video! I cannot wait to see how much progress I make.
have you been following this class?
I’m 46 and getting ready for my first real ballet class next Sunday! Thank you for the free class!
"Navillera" inspired me to come here
It's never too late to be what you might have been
ikr like after i watched that kdrama i immediately applied for a ballet class😅
OMG SAME
me too !
"Navillera" made me look for this I danced till I was 12 did all my exams but body gave out, at 44 am going to give it a go again it's never too late. Thank you for the video x
Me too
I'm 24, and I'm starting my adult ballet at home lessons from you! You should be proud of yourself because you're teaching us free of charge and so on point. Thank you so much. Please continue your kindness ❤😭
cannot thank you enough for uploading this!! I'm 22 and I have always wanted to dance ballet but I have a musical theatre dance background, and resources like this are exactly what I am looking for! I am so excited for more lessons from you, thank you for taking the time and effort to do this for people like me! :)
I'm glad you like the video~ It takes a while to film and edit but comments like yours keep me going :)
I've always wanted to learn ballet, but my family doesn't approve plus I can't afford ballet academy classes. I'm really really grateful for your classes.
Thank you so much for this class. I am 65 years old, always wanted to dance, and took my very first adult beginner class last Saturday. It was advertised as for the absolute beginner as well as the ongoing beginner students.
Between the Zoom challenges of a live streaming class, and my lack of a ballet barre/terminology, it was a near disaster (not mention being called out by the teacher for stopping because I had no idea what I was doing).
I am determined, and will be doing your class several times before next Saturday. You are lifesaver! (Ordered a ballet barre from Amazon...should be here by Friday.)
Oh goodness, what an experience! Now that you got the first class out of the way, the 2nd one will definitely go more smoothly. I'm glad my video is useful :)
How is ballet going now?
I'm sorry your first ballet experience wasn't ideal. Please don't let that discourage you though, the more you do it the better you will get!
That's awful that you got called out like that, it shouldn't have even happened at all! That ballet teacher shouldn't even be teaching if she cannot even be supportive of everyone in the room at all. I'm gonna call that very bad sportsmanship! (Even if it might not be considered a term in ballet, but dance is a sport as well so I think it should be included with this as well). When I took Tennis for the first time in High School, we were going against each other, 1 team of maybe 10 girls against the other 10 and my team lost. Due to frustration I lost my cool and threw my tennis racket down at the ground. The teacher called me out in front of everyone for showing bad sportsmanship and made me do a little punishment for it. It was maybe a little bit embarrassing but I learned my lesson and understood that it can be very negative behavior not only towards myself but to my teammates as well! I appreciate that teacher so much and appreciate her for her expertise and fairness. Wish you could have known that and called your teacher out for bad sportsmanship right then and there, because it should have never happened. A professional teacher will never show bad sportsmanship like that no matter the sport. I hope that in the future she treats you with the same respect you treat her with. If she does it again, please don't hesitate for calling her out and telling her she's doing bad sportsmanship and you can maybe even add the line, "you maybe the professional ballet teacher over me but I can be your professional teacher in good sportsmanship" and if she says or anyone says ballet isn't a sport you can say, "I'll stop you right there, ballet is a form of dance which is a physical movement of the body therefore making it a sport." I hope you read my message and that I can help you stick up for your rights! :) you should never be humiliated. Even if you don't take it as humiliation at all, it should have still never happened. I just really want to help you out when it comes to people like that.
Thank you. I quit ballet when I was younger and regretted it as I grew older. I'm 18 now and always wondered how good I would be if I never stopped. I always felt like it was just too late and that I was too different to be apart of something so beautiful. But I've realized I only live once. This video helped me feel inspired to learn because I'm still young and it's never too late. I can't wait to keep learning through these lessons with you as my teacher
I have always wanted to do ballet, but I cant find anyone who could teach me and also I cant afford it lol.. but thank you so much for this! I'm now 20 and I can finally do what I want
I started ballet and tap at 2 years old but quit when I turned 13, I hated getting ready for lessons lol I’m just discovering this channel now at 25 years old and I’m so excited I did! You’ve reignited my passion for dance!
Thuan, I don't know how to thank you for these classes. I was formerly a very active person, and now have MS, and I thought my days of movement were over. My eyes fill up when I do these classes, because they make me feel strong and graceful and capable of anything. Your classes have quite literally changed my life. Thank you a million times over.
I'm 12 and always loved ballet when I was younger I used to go to ballet class but I couldn't afford anymore so I stopped doing ballet for years I really missed and I'm glad I found you! Your my savor, and really nice! I glad I found you and still like ballet, thank you!
Last week I took my first ballet class. I'm 26 years old. I can't tell you how helpful and encouraging this video is. Thank you so much! Your positivity is inspiring.
Finally a class for REAL beginners! The RIGHT classic music (at last, seems not to be a thing anymore) Clear, slow, challengy but easy at the same time. Great psychological retribution. Thank you, this is precious!
I turned 17 yesterday, and this is one of my goals this year, to learn ballet.
Even if I’m not going to become a professional ballet dancer, I just love the moves of it, so, thank you.
When you said you started ballet at 17 I felt like I’m okay and I can do it, I really appreciate you.
I turned 18 recently and I feel the same way. I've always wanted to do ballet and I finally but my foot down and decided to start. Classes are a bit pricey and I just came across this channel so I'm really excited. I hope maybe one day in a couple years I'm strong enough to get on Pointe, as well work on my posture/physique overall!!
Im also 17 but i 'll start next year bc of school
I'm genuinely so proud of you, continue pursuing your dreams, it's never too late!@@itsJarJarr
school sucks fr but i'm still happy that i'm trying to do my best@@12lndnuksoon
I am 55. I always wanted to take ballet lessons. It reminds me of the time when my daughter first started ballet at 3. She has bad knees, so she had to stop when she was 11. It’s never too late to start ballet. Thank you for teaching us.
Those plié releve absolutely KILLED me lol I’m expecting to wake up sore tomorrow but I’m gonna keep pushing through and do lesson 2!!!
Sweetie please don't ever remove this series. This is where I'm learning. I'm actually getting this. I've always had a learning disability and I have to do this everyday , I have arthritis in my spine but this is very good for me. I've only got to the ronde de Jambe. I have sjogrens an autoimmune disease so my body gets worn quickly. But I couldn't do any before. I am determined to get all the way through. This class , your teaching is an answer to prayer for me. I found the newer series and commented on there but I hope you don't remove this series. Thankyou so so so much ❤cannot express enough how much this means to me ❤❤❤❤
I always dream about doing ballet, i was so much into it after watching barbie movies but unfortunately we don't have much ballet institutions in our country so It was nxt to impossible for me to learn ballet, after this channel o guess I gotta thank you and learn till the end... I just wanna enjoy dancing, keep making these videos thank you😇😚😚
Same near me there’s not much and times are tough right now and I seem to be into all the weird stuff like horseback riding and ballet😅
Hehhe thats good actually , these hard times taught us so many things we can actually do😁
We have the same problem but thanks to the internet and people sharing their talents^_^
I am 14 i’ve always wanted to dance. I love everything about it. When i was 9 I took a class for the first time, although i loved it so much An older girl in my class ruined it for me. I wasn’t able to even think about doing in person classes again. Thank you so much for these videos ❤
Don't worry I have had a similar experience, ballet classes tend to be quite a toxic environment.. I was made fun of for my weight even though I'm not overweight I'm just not skinny like all of them. Couldn't handle it anymore and after 10 years of ballet I finally left. Now I want to start again but I am too scared to go back to an actual studio so these videos are perfect
im 11 years old and ive always wanted to be a ballerina and im so glad i could find your videos!! my parents arent able to pay and take me to classes so this is perfect!! thank you!
same
Today, I took my first ever ballet class with you, and I had so much fun ! It was very hard, and even though I feel tired, I also feel energized and motivated to keep pushing !
I really enjoy you telling your story, it made the class feel more real and more personal, so thank you !
I am going to keep practicing this class a few more times before moving on to the next class !
(Stretching to ballet music is something I never done, and it really adds to my motivation !)
Thank you so much !
I always wanted to learn ballet.... But my conditions aren't so good so I can't tell my parents to add more burden on them....... And also because of covid19 ..... But now I can learn it .... Really thank you ❤️. May you always live happily 🙏❤️❤️
I'm 12 and I was thinking of taking lessons but was too scared that it was too late. Your lesson gave me the courage to start! Thank you for being kind, working at a slow pace and not minding if we aren't perfect. These are the kind of people that make the word a better place, even if it was just one, small ballet lesson, it was still a kind, thoughtful thing to do for us beginners!
It's not too late for you at all! I started dancing at 18 and I'm a professional salsa dancer now at 27. I wish I had the courage to start at 12, I was too shy and I always regretted starting "later". Great job starting now at 12, you have your whole life ahead of you to enjoy dancing, go for it!! :)
Thank you, this is really motivating! @@Dennis-and-Danielle-Dance
i’m 16 and started ballet at 16 and my only regret is not starting at 15 lol i really hope you find a way to get into a class so many world class ballerinas started at 13 don’t be embarrassed, you’ll figure it out!
I’m 43, and finally can do something as I always wanted and didn’t have time and money to do. Now I can play your videos and do anytime at home. I can’t thanks enough. Wishing you the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loved this! This is exactly what I was looking for - a beginner class that's challenging and explains everything. Excited you're posting these!
you're so sweet! thank you. I used to do ballet when I was a little girl but then something happened to me hours before the final year dance. I danced and everything... but since then I stopped taking classes. I have gone to some classes as an adult but they were too harsh and fast. I was not in tune with the teacher I believe. I needed something more loving, with the singing of the movements and everything as you do it!
Even more than to dance, this is to heal ♥
I'm 44. My wife recommended I try the barre about 3 years ago because as I was getting older, despite continuing to do judo (from my teens!) I wasn't as flexible anymore. Being stiff in a fighting sport, one can very easily get injured so I tried the first 10 minutes at the barre for a couple of months and it worked. She then recommended I stay for the entire class. I'm the only male and the only person not actually a lifelong dancer so I was incredibly nervous but tried it anyway. I couldn't follow the routines and on the floor, I looked like a bear getting ready to attack the dancers on either side of me. I felt ridiculous! But kept at it. Now I'm...better... for a guy who started in his forties. It's a shame I discovered so late in life how much the discipline of ballet could improve other physical activities because it's really improved my judo but ballet is special in its own right. I'm still doing it 3 days a week with my wife's class and loving it! I love how it makes me feel in control of my whole body! My balance, breathing and overall posture have improved, it's vastly improved my "uchi mata" (basically, imagine using the extended leg of your arabesque to help you throw someone over your hip!), and it actually makes me feel calm! Had I known anything about ballet as a younger man I would have tried it then. But you can't control the past, you only have agency over what you do from here on in and I love the challenge.
From Brazil - I am 73 years old and I started ballet classes to expand the movement of the hips. I loved your class. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your videos, you have inspired me to finally begin fulfilling my dreams of doing ballet. I'm 16 and thought I was too late, coming across you're videos has changed my life, thank you :)
Aww, thanks so much. That's such a kind thing to say :)
I do ballet for over 4 years, and basic classes are so necessary in every level. After some weeks barely without exercise this got me sweating. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! for yor effort, help and inspiration. I am 21, a beginner to ballet and this really helps me to get into everything. And hopefully learn to move my body the way I always dreamt to do. I apprechiate the time you take for this and your love for ballet and teaching. Looking forward to the next lesson :) have a great day!
Double Trouble 👀
I attended ballet school two times a week, one hours each, and when I got home, I didn't remember all my teachers teaches me, so you helping me a lot to practice 😊
I am 15, trained in multiple classical dances yet couldn't get over my ballet fever and so I am here!!!! Thanks a bunch ma'am!!1
I'm 23 and always wanted to dance ballet but i was too shy as a kid and now I feel like I'm too old... This video gives me so much joy and my inner child is crying happy tears. Thank you!
I’m so grateful for these videos because thanks to them I’m able to start dancing ballet. I’m 18 and I have always loved ballet, but I was ashamed to ask my parents for ballet lessons, but now I can start learning and I’m over the moon about it. ❤
This is wonderful! I am 50+ and start to pick up ballet. Never be too late!
Thanks for making the film and explained so clear of every movement.
Dunno if you'll read this, but ive always wanted to be in ballet. We didn't have enough money growing up. I felt kind of embarrassed being 23 and wanting to start. I just wanted to thank you for your videos. During the pandemic I've picked up guitar baking I'm grateful that i can finally add ballet to my growing just of hobbies 💕✨
i’m 18 and dislocated my knee doing ballet ten years ago. Today i’m picking it back up after years of fear. This help so much
Why am I randomly starting to practice ballet at 15
I'm too 😅
Tf sameeeeeeee 😃
Same except I’m 34🙈😅
For the same reason, I’m randomly starting at 40
Dw I’m 19😂
I just want to say THANK YOU so so so much! Yesterday, I finally got to take part of my biggest dream and go to my first official ballet lesson here in Munich, Germany. I thought i signed up for the beginners class and mistakenly signed up for an experienced class. The first 30 minutes of the 2 hour class, I wanted to run out of the class go home and cry on my bed. I sweat, i felt embarrassed and shocked. The only thing that kept me planted firmly there and going was my knowledge i picked up over many days of doing this video over and over at home the past 2 years for fun. At the end of the 2 hours many ballerinas came up to me and said despite it being my first class, it was great I stayed and i should never be worried as we all had to start somewhere. The absolute beginner class i found out take place on wednesdays and im so excited!!!
Thank you for this! I did ballet in my elementary-high school years and got up to dancing en pointe, but that was about 15 years ago! So although I remember a lot of the terminology and still have a lot of muscle memory, strength- and flexibility-wise I'm basically a beginner again. Those eleves and releves at the end kicked my butt! lol Like you mentioned, it's very difficult to find beginner classes for adults who just want to do it for fun/fitness and are not looking to go into it professionally, so this is really great. Also loved the chat and stretch at the end, it gave a very chill and friendly vibe. I'm looking forward to working through more of these, after I go through this one a few more times. Subscribed :)
You are so precious! Thank you for putting this together. I teach adults and they wanted me to send them an approved video for them to do at home when not in my class. I choose THIS ONE! You did a great job and it is perfect for my ladies! Thank you!
Thank you very much. It was a wonderful practice to do as a beginner. The sound is good and the camera is well focused on the parts of the body that are working!
I quit ballet when I was around 6, and im now regretting it because ballet is just so beautiful. I want to start again, but i want to be able to remember the basics so i can be ready for in person classes. These online classes are so helpful. I love you videos and I encourage you to keep going because you are such a good teacher and dancer, and you are so helpful to so many people. Thank you for these videos!
I’m 16 and been afraid to go to dance lessons due to anxiety so this was really nice, thank you so much!
I can relate to this so much :’) I’m also really nervous to go to classes cause of anxiety or just social anxiety so this video really helps
This is so relatable! Like I'm just too anxious to just walk in there, it's a real struggle 😭
Never too old to start! I’m 31 and always wanted to learn ballet dancing, we couldn’t afford it growing up. I’ll never be a prima ballerina but I’m excited to finally pursue my dream of learning ballet! Thank you for these videos!
this made me really happy because i’m starting at 16! :)
Me too!
I started to do ballet when i was 8 years old
me too )
Same!
i’ve always wanted to do ballet but it was never affordable - i’m 18 now and doing this makes the little girl inside me feel so happy. thank you!
Thanks for doing what you’re doing! I’m 13 and have always wanted to do dance (it started with a couple of ballet classes when I was 3, imagine how much easier this video would have been if I kept going at it!) But I could never get back in because I thought I was too old or because I was embarrassed to ask my parents. I can’t get to classes because I live in a small town and COVID, but these are so cool! They’re slow paced, simple to understand beginner-friendly and FREE! I love how you’re managing to do this and I love reading the stories in the comments, it’s kind of inspiring, actually.
Really easy to understand, but tougher than I expected: I didn’t even feel the legs after this class. OMG! It was amazing!👏🏼
One of my dream... Currently 18 years but age doesn't matter.. thank you and plz continue to teach us ( future ballerinas ).. ❤️❤️
When I was a kid, I really wanted to learn ballet, but there was always something that came in the way. Today I was just randomly dancing in my room like I remember ballet to look like, and thought to myself, why not just actually learn it for real, like I always wanted to. So here I am! :)
I'm also 16 and it's my 1st time in ballet and i loved ballet since since i was a kid so i decided to work on myself so i can do a little of ballet at home since my parents can't afford ballet classes so thank you so much for this video it really helps a lot especially for people like my case!🤗🦋
I am 15 and same although my parents can probably afford ballet classes but they probably won't be able to afford the shoes cause you have change it every now and then 😅
Thuan, thank you so much for these classes. I’m 63 and studied ballet till Elementary level. I’m thrilled to be able to work with your online classes and get my balance and core strength back while doing something I love. I have a replaced hip that doesn’t bother me at all in these exercises but bad knees so grand pliés be issue so I just do what I can. Again, Thuan thank you for this opportunity. ❤
I am 16 years ballet has always been part of my dreams but my family doesn't support me and can't afford to pay my ballet class but due to this am grateful ❤
ım 11 and ı crıed half an hour because ı didnt go to ballet at 3. ı thought ı was really old for this and learning ballet was my biggest dream of all. now ı can reach my dreams with your help. ım sooo gratefull. thank you so much :33
Ohh this really helps me... I was gymnast but now I'm doing another sport... ballet "classes" like this really helps me gain flexibility and power in small muscules I need hihi
I wasn’t big on cheerleading but I LOVED ballet! Is that odd? I love that and rhythmic gymnastics! Thank you so much for opening my mind to this!
You are such a kind and genuine person. Even though these moves are quite difficult for me, I feel encouraged. Especially in the stretching section haha, I can't even cross my legs into a comfortable sitting position. 🤣
Started today, did the whole class with you and I'm 100% proud of it. I'm 29. Thank you so much for making a long lost dream possible.
Can you make a vlog about the shoes, clothes and equipment you’ll need to start?
Hello Thuan! I am so happy and grateful to have found you. I just took this class and I will do them all!!! I'm almost 45 years old and it was the first time I did ballet. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and in such a loving and easy way. A hug
No entiendo mucho Inglés pero idk el ballet se entiende en todos los idioma además de pequeña tome clases durante años pero por cosas de la vida lo deje aunque debo admitir que siempre tuve pasión y el otro día cuando seguí una rutina me dieron ganas de llorar fue mágico, como si el tiempo no hubiera pasado no tengo dinero asi que esto es algo que agradezco son tan parecidos a las clases de cuando era pequeña y casi con la misma musica Thanks you!!!❤
¡que hermosa! gracias para contendiendo (lo siento por mi español, estoy intentando aprender)
My parents wants me to stop dancing and focus on something more academic and now this is my only way to truly learn what I want to in life. Thank you
My mind: ooh! Yay! I can’t wait to try this ballet!
I stand up and tried to do the first warm up move. I had forgotten. I am only 11 and I have a severe ingrown toenail that needs surgery soon. I wish I could do ballet. I am rather good at it. Or… was. Give this comment I like if u want me to get better.

I cannot emphasize how much of a gift this is. I have been thinking of starting ballet for years, but since I know the training can be intense, I always thought it was too large of a commitment I could make. I stumbled upon this video yesterday and I cannot tell you how delighted I felt looking through the videos on your channel, seeing all the lessons available so far. I often learn dances myself on youtube, but sometimes it can grow tiresome and tedious, and I can't seem to find the motivation to continue. These however, are proper lessons I can follow, I get tips, and I have an interesting person to listen to! Thank you so so much!
To be honest I started out thinking this lesson would be too slow for me. By the time we got through the one legged relevés I was dying (but in a good way lol)! Thanks for a great lesson! ^_^
I have daughter aged 8 years having a passion to practice ballet. I hope she has potential for this. Am greatful for this lesson.
Wow, such a great class! I am a previous dancer, in my early thirties now with very young children and completely out of shape. I have started to retrain at home after almost 5 years of immobility. Since I don't have the means to get to a proper dance class, I searched for something on TH-cam and came across your channel. Thank you for helping me to ignite the flame again. I feel my old friends, my muscles, working again and it is the most wonderful feeling. I am ALIVE! Thank you!
i am not able to take ballet classes so i really appreciate this! i don’t have a barre so i use my bookshelf lol
