Professional Ballerina's Workout Routine While Stuck At Home (ft. Isabella Boylston) - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I can’t believe she doesn’t wear anything in her pointe shoes, those are some strong toes.
ouch pouches were life back when i was still dancing! Forgot them once before class and I wanted to cry lol
IKR?!?!
When I danced en pointe, my teacher didn’t let us wear anything except a paper towel in our shoes!
@@maxinemoody2705 old school!!! I remember those days..
IKR like I would be in so much pain if i didn’t have toe pads and lambs wool
It's so mesmerising watching the way the muscles move in her body.
Weird... my muscles didn't do so not even at 2 years old
@@brendasaller what
@@brendasaller of course they are not gonna move like that when you're 2 years old💀
Am a ballerina? No.
Am I even a dancer? No.
Do I ever workout? Not really.
Why am I here? I dont know
Noelle Baird same same 👏
Because it's beautiful to see someone doing it :) (It my next life, I'm going to be a ballerina...
The cute kitchen? The cute pictures on the wall? The amazing dancing? All of the above?
Because TH-cam is telling you even if you're under lockdown, don't make it the reason why you're on the couch all day?
Isabella is irresistible lolll
I'm just watching this and not planning to do it whatsoever
I can do the jumps. At least those look fun.
me, myself and I - Yes 🤣
Bro you should try,when u warm up its SO relaxing!
Me too. I just love the ballerina's barre.
I am doing exactly what she says....in my head 🤣
Everyone is freaking out about no toe pads, but no one is talking about how nicely decorated her apartment is
Lol I'm loving both the workout (And the incredible muscles that she has) along with her absolutely amazing apartment!!🤷♀️💪🩰🩱🏡
"you need to put your leg at a 90 degree angle"
not even 2 minutes in and it's already impossible for me
Fr
@@TheLuci915 😂😂 that's really funny for you to say
I guess so? but now that you mention I'm getting worried
Muscles gave out just looking at the move.
@@hunnerdayEDT on meeeeee 😂😂
My thoughts exactly, if my knee is straight, 45° is a stretch if I bend a bit and i get another person to help I can do 60 maybe
Her home looks so pretty😍
Ashley Sings ohhh that explains it. I was thinking that a house that nice couldn’t be bought with a ballerina salary.
Redplug I could only assume that she get paid way more as a principal dancer...
It's gigantic. How
@@XevLexa yeah and also because she's probably one of the best and most 'famous' in the company, kind of like an icon, so she gets paid more. it's not really about how famous she is but since she is so good she appears in more shows. like how misty copeland gets paid a lot more than other principals, not just from the company but also ads and being a ambassador for dance wear companies and things like that
I love the credit she gives to friends she has learned from
No toe pads... I respect you gals of steel but I just can't... 😭
if i went on pointe without toe pads i would die
I go on pointe without them all the time because I’m not allowed them in ballet so...
I don’t use toe pads either
Because I can’t even afford ballet classes
Pro ballet dancers normally don’t wear toe pads, bc it gives limitation in your movements on point shoes
Even with toe pads I like die 😂
Because they put this in a wacky order, I'm going to just put timestamps for the different exercises.
1:02 Modified Bridge Pilates Exercise
2:48 Jumps
4:59 Pointe Shoe Combination
6:00 Simple Plie Barre Combination
8:33 Adagio at the Barre
Order that these would go in if this video was edited in a sensible manner:
6:00 Plies
8:33 Adagio
1:02 Pilates
2:48 Jumps
4:59 Pointe
(I think you could switch the adagio and the pilates but this makes more sense because both the plies and the adagio are at the barre. If it was a center adagio, then pilates would definitely come first imo)
Woww thanks
It is incredible to me how strong ballerinas are and how lean they are at the same time. Mad respect!
side note: her apartment aesthetic is 100
Sometimes I think about how many members of The Academy thought that Natalie Portman learned all of ballet in a couple months for the movie Black Swan. And then I see a real ballerina and you can see the LIFETIME of training in every muscle 😭
@ComaBerenices it's Mary from Ballet Beautiful, she has a business and teach classes with the exercises Natalie did
Victoria secrets models are some of the students, and some has dancers bodies
Natalie did a lot for her, she always mentions the coach work
@@sahtification I would agree that Natalie mentioned and credited Mary Helen Bowers (founder of Ballet Beautiful), who coached her and helped her develop a ballerina looking physique. . but Natalie (and the production) did not mention or credit her dance double in the film, Sarah Lane- (who like Isabella Boylston, is a principal dancer with ABT).
A big part of Natalie's academy award "for your consideration" campaign had to do with promoting the idea that Natalie did all her own dancing and went from being a non dancer to being en pointe dancing in this film, a feat worthy of actings highest honors. But Sarah Lane did all the dancing in the film and Natalie's face was superimposed on, she was not allowed to talk about her involvement, something that she did not know would be required when she signed on. The Ballet world (especially in 2009) was very insular, and felt this was a betrayal of professional dancers's skills and life's work. This was such a moment in pop culture-so seldom that dance movies come out- that obviously, ten years on-people are still commenting about Black Swan in random youtube ballet videos.
For a comparison, Red Sparrow, (2018) acknowledged that Isabella Boylston was Jennifer Lawrence's dance double, including her in special features, articles, publicity footage, etc. That was a better way to handle the situation.
Wynnie M it’s funny because Natalie’s now husband left the girl in this video for her
Salty Sag oh my God, I had no idea! Though I don’t think that’s exactly “funny” 😬
Wynnie M totally right. “Coincidentally” is a better word. This girl seems lovely in any case.
Day 28 of quarantine: I tried ballet in my bed
Mohamed FAOUZ 😆
😂😂😂😂😂
Same here!✌️
Right on ! Lol
I tried ballet in my... head
She’s the upstairs neighbor we all know we have
Alexis Wolfley I can literally hear her walking right now...
I was looking for this comment because it was the first thing I thought lol
My anxiety just kicks in with your comment . A nightmare I am currently living
The neighbor above me has probably some grandkids visiting who I think are all doing grande jettes at the moment !
I will definitely incorporate the first exercise she showed into my workout today!
Me too! I'm coming back to this vid to add to my stretching repertoire! :)
It's great. You'll have a bubble butt.
It's so lovely to see someone so dedicated and willing to modify a complex routine to stay in shape after years of discipline and sacrifice. Stay fit and healthy! Please know what you are sharing with us is inspiring. The only limits are within your head! Bravo.
I love the ballet and actually studied for many years till I hurt my back in my early 20's. I wondered about what the ballet community was doing during this time and how they would fair with daily exercises and missing class. Good for you to do something constructive and for showing what exercises most ballet dancers do in class...Very clever and you have lovely form!!
Glad everyone is still trying to stay motivated and doing their everyday routine even at home. Stay safe everyone!
safira key word trying!
I am no ballet dancer, but I do these exercises a lot. Somehow I'm comforted Isabella's ankles shake a little in second position on her toes. Makes me feel better that mine do. :) Thank you for this!
I can't believe the way this was edited or put together, its in the complete wrong order for how someone would do class at home.
Olivia Wallis Jackson except she is not doing a ballet class ! Just a wick workout ! It is her own routine and I believe she quite knows what she is doing
I dont doubt she knows what she's doing - she is a prima! But from watching and doing her workouts via Instagram she hasn't been doing jumps and pointe work before barre. I think someone else edited this 🤷🏻♀️
@@oliviawallisjackson337 Do you know anything about optimism? I think that its up to her whatever she does. Its a workout!
Muhammad Irfan Rao it’s not about optimism it’s legit the wrong way to train your muscles as you should warm up more before doing jumps which she always does on ig lives,l
Who edited this? There is no way she did jumps before barre.
Cabin fever remedy
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT
Been looking for this comment!!
@@lilithh6196 Can't believe we live in a world where we're having to fact-check ballet-related content but here we are..
@@cabinfeverremedy5636 ikr, seriouslyy
facts 😂😂😂
**me eating my bagel at 1am casually watching her vid*
Isabella: "So I don't wear any toepads or anything in my point shoes.."
me: **drops my bagel**
This doesn't even begin to show the level of commitment and dedication it takes to become a principal with a major ballet company. Hats off to Ms. Boylston. Your talent is a great gift to all of us!
That Adagio at the end was just incredible to watch. I was just fascinated with what her incredible body can do. No intentions of attempting but I will give that glute bridge combo a go😃
Flashbacks from a 'past life' running through my head...
Keep it up, incredibly strong and determined girls! ❤️
I feel really a bit horrified of how people in the comments just tell that they're just here because her body is sexy and things like that.. I mean she is really pretty and has a great body but saying that your just watching ths vid because of that is super respectless and then even telling it in the Comments as if it were something good.. 😤 Ballettdancers are always reduced on their Body! i mean, what the heck? She's also super nice and she explained the exercises super well but no one talks about that.
This viedeo was made for entertaining puprose and to exercise. I feel like some people missunderstood that and think it's a soft porn.
Edit: I realised this is not an easy discussion I started :) But thank you for everyone who was into talking about this and leaving a comment or a like.
Sas Sas i understand, but i’ve been scrolling though the comments for forever, but i can’t see any comments like the ones you described.
Can you say that without crying.
@@eva-ex5il
There are some only talking about her body and stuff like that.
@@eva-ex5il also, the most disliked comments are moved to the bottom, so to reduce controversy.
respectless isn't a word just FYI
All of her movements are so measured and precise. Amazing.
Imagine having legs that strong, that is something that I strive for. Ballerinas are incredible
I was actually doing these exercises for a few months and I am much more agile than I was before! Thank you
Thank you for sharing 👍🏻🤗 I love Ballett. Never made It to the status of a ballerina but am taking classes for years now several times a week. It is such an enjoyable and somehow meditative way to train my body. Now I can do it at home, how nice ❤️. It is always better to have a professional who tells what to do and to remind one of how to do it correctly. 😉. Please more, stay well and healthy everybody.
I'm watching this to motivate myself during these hard times.
I sincerely hope no one lives below her lol
9 hours a day jumping and stuff
If the floor isn't wood, but is cement, then no one will know. I'm more worried about the effect on her knees and ankles since her kitchen floor is not built for dance. But I guess if she's not jumping that high then it's ok.
Jen ...you are funny !
Jen, I was thinking the same thing!
I am not a ballerina but I am an artist and I love watching these kind of videos to sketch from. your moves are so delicate yet strong
You're always stunning to watch and make everything look easy. A friend said she thought you made it look too effortless. She didn't like that for some reason. So I watched and I've been a giant fan ever since...
Ahhh I love her! She's so pleasant and just exudes amazing energy.
I am not a dancer by any stretch of the imagination. I am a jazz/gospel guitarist & I watched your video looking for ideas that would improve my own workout routine. You've shared invaluable information with us, & for that alone I thank you. Truthfully I do not have the stamina to do the reps, & sets you've suggested. Who knows...maybe in time (& I'm talking a lot of time) I'll be able to do all that you suggest. Thanks for your insight, instruction, & information, it is greatly appreciated. KEEP ON DANCING WITH YOUR GRACEFUL SELF!
What a gift to us. You are a gift!! ❤️ Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!! ❤️❤️
So excited to show this to my daughter this !! She is missing ballet so much!! Thank you !!!
Some very random but very cool videos have been recommended during the quarantine. What a gift for us to be invited into the world of a ballerina performing exercises at home. As someone who knows nothing about ballet this was amazing and mind bending as it seemed to defy physics.
as a dancer this helps so much, because I couldn't find any specific exercises like these! Thx so much
Loved it ... good descriptions of moves, names of positions, and warnings for body mechanics
And I want to thank you for you are motivating me to start stretching and moving my body more for I am a 51 year old woman that has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the hip and seeing you and listening to you is motivating me
I love your gallery wall!! Love how bright and welcoming you've decorated your home. Thank you for this video... i've been needed motivation to work out again.
I like the color combination of her outfit, it's genius!
Thankyou SO much for this. Honestly you don’t know how much this helps me ❤️❤️
Very nice lines but my middle age knees hurt just watching this - mad respect for the dedication to your art- it is beautiful to watch
i am so thankful for these wonderful classes.
Thank you hun for making this video. It's really cool! Dancers are bad ass!!!!
So many great moves! She performs them with great precision!🙌
Beautiful form and very instructional, thankyou. I enjoyed this video very much. The human body is an amazing instrument.
Thank you for this video!
I love how honest her 5th is!😍😍😍
Merci beaucoup! This is a lovely and uncomplicated workout. As an adult dancer who hasn't danced in a year (due to being swamped with exams for my PhD program), this is a wonderful at home workout for me during the pandemic. Bonne journée...
Bruh no toe pads.... why punish yourself like that
some dancers do it so they can "feel the floor" other wise they can get injured coming down from jumps because they don't know when they land. I do think that no toe pads is pretty extreme though. However I wouldn't say she is punishing herself.
Also, love your kitchen, very nice arrangement of the paintings 😍
Thanks for sharing your workout. Love it.
We love this!
Thanks for sharing! Happy to have the tips, and love the art display on the back wall!
This was just amazing to watch her do.. wow! love it
Really enjoyed watching. Keep up your good work at home for as long as you must do it.
Beautiful dancer, simply lovely. Thanks for this 🤗🤗🤗
I’m sorry. Did she say no toe pads!!!!!
I'm floored (even if I can't feel it when I'm on pointe lol)
My ballet teacher makes us not wear toe pads it’s awful
@@rachelmcginnis8818 samee
I dont use toe pads but uses masking tape for big toe and pinky
i don’t wear toe pads but i wear gaynors so they have gel in the box. i could never do it with regular pointe shoes
Love this! Thank you so much! Love your dancing!
Isabella is really so great dancer....her arch on pointes is my goals
hearing how she counts like its the timing in a measure is surprisingly endearing and rly cute
this is giving me mad throwbacks to my ten years of ballet
That was lovely! Thank you. Stay strong and healthy. P.S. I love your apartment. Great style!
When I used to learn ballet I needed videos like this 🥺
Thank you for this! especially the bridge exercises. What a treat to get tips from a Principal Ballerina.I am 65 and have taken classes since my 50s . I love the progressive footwork of the bar. Your video leaves out important sequences that lead up to things like jumps and adagio. Plus, point shoes require years of training to use! At first I thought that this was just for professionals, but then you explained things in a very basic way. A bit confusing .I stopped the video and filled in with tendus and degage.
That being said ,I found it refreshing and am a new subscriber. I usually never comment at all, but I wanted to offer my opinion.
I enjoy watching professional dancers share their life with everyone. Thanks for giving a recap on the "modified bridge" . . OWCH! But really you made everything look effortless. I'll gladly purchase tickets when you are going to perform on stage. ;)
Awesome as an ex boxer and sports person i love your dedication and it has obviously paid off for you im only a beginer improver at ballroom and latin but love all movements including street and jazz thank you for sharing your work out its inspirational for me to see
had to immediately go hit like when you did the penche around 0:18 :O that was so perfect!
her house looks super nicely decorated!😻 such a dream house💖
She does everything so effortlessly 😍
Super video. High class. Bravo!
Hello. It’s amazing how creative persons have been during this cruel and relentless pandemic. As I watch you, I’ve been thinking of how many little girls would LOVE to learn from you, especially those whom could never afford to have ballet lessons. It would be nice if you’d consider offering classes through this medium, especially geared toward little girls whose parents can’t give them ballet lessons. I think that would be very cool. You’re extremely talented and blessed. Take care of yourself and may God be with you💕. Kathryn
How amazing it is to see those beautiful muscles in full power and strength. Love what you do! I wish I had tried ballet T.T
Absolutely lovely!!!! Zero chance i can do any of it but fun to watch!
Every ballet youtube is for beginners ty for something more experienced
beautiful! thank you for sharing
I'm a runner and I wanted to find another way to stretch and strengthen my legs. This was wonderful!
My ballet school posts videos of our teachers everyday so we can keep on practising, it's great but I do miss real classes, the camaraderie and laughs. Yet it is weirdly comforting to see a professional dancer doing just about what I do on my living room, and especially to see how her ankles wobble ever so slightly when doing a relevé on demi-pointes in second ! My ankles wobble just like Isabella Boylston's, imagine that !🤣
God bless your talent, and all the other members of your company. Keep doing what u r doing. Stay healthy, and someday we will have normal routines again.
You are not stuck at home, you are safe at home and keeping others safe by it!!!
Lara Im going crazy
Inspiring! I’ll try some of these, tomorrow! Thank you!!! ;-)
Who is following her lives every day on IG??
She is just so funny and I love her
I don't follow her.
Stormylicious Princeso you should i really enjoy her content
What’s her ig
Her place is so cute, i really love all the pictures on the wall behind her
Thank you. Works well. Hope your ABT family is doing well.
Bravo! Thank you from Canada.
I took a ballet class with her she was the sweetest! And she is amazing!
Oh!!! I searched on that in TH-cam and I really wished that there’s a video that can show you a life or routine of a ballet 🩰 dancer THANKS INSIDER REALLY THANKS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤝👍🏻
I’ve been doing dance for like 7 years now (my friend has been doing it longer) and we’ve both been wanting pointe shoes for a long time now and this year our teacher said if we work real hard we could get some (yay!), so I made it to this video and it’s amazing. I’ll be doing these exercises at home now to help and if anyone has any advice or recommendations I’m open to doing it! Love this!
I’m watching this video and I’m not even a ballerina 😂 I have crazy respect for ballerinas!
You should have because we are so beautiful, gentle and feminime like every girl should be, like you should be.
@@magicsweets-princessofevil6014 ummm im sorry what? I am a student ballerina myself, but that doesn't mean that all girls need to be "beautiful, gentle, and feminine". Can't you just let people be what they want?
Her apartment is gorgeous! Great workout video as well, beautifully done by a graceful women. ❤️😊
Amazing to see a leg raised that high! How much strength, stamina and flexibility wowza
Isabella, You are great!
when shes doing the jump thingys sometimes it looks so symmetrical that it reminds me of those red plastic transparent thingys i used in geometry in elementary school
waitwhat 😝
Like a compass
Noodle Poodle naaah im talking about math mira’s
Enjoyed watching her routines 🥰
She's really flexible; love this!!
