I wish my instructors were as informed as you, I windmilled my legs for years, being yelled at while not understanding the basic mechanics of just using the barre to begin. 😖
"It's straight, switch, straight." Yeah, when YOU do it. When *I* do it, It's a seismic event in the studio with limbs flailing, blubber jiggling, elephants landing... What's a girl to do.
I learned tour jete in drum corps. The split was required. I only achieved it once well. No wonder! Men have stronger legs to achieve that result. Whew!
Hi, Thank you so much for this and your other videos. Thank you for the amount of information. I can relate to your advice more than any other video on the same topic. And, referring to your arabesque video, thank you for being brave enough to share details that none of my teachers would!
"This is gonna show you how you land" That helps alot. Feel so dumb to not think of that. 🤦♂️ The energy of the "kicking legs" Should I think of them as gran battemants or a (pique+saute)?
I'll never get how I can kick to the front then to the back in the air without swinging the legs around. How do you manage to do all that in the split second you're in the air?
hahah no! i filmed this years ago when the studio was attached to the gym. it was a single business called "Two Worlds Dance and Fitness." This is where i met some of met favorite teachers; Irina Lebedeva, DeeDee Carillo, Andre Kisslev, Yana Volkova, and Simon Kazantsev... I did take the occasional class with Slava (and did the Russia Ballet tour with him) but i think i left the studio right before he took over and started running his academy out of there... I should also note: if you are close enough to Greenvale, you should REALLY REALLY check out LI Ballet Academy in Sea Cliff (just another 10-15 minutes north of Greenvale) Ms. Lebedeva's teaching and coaching is truly unmatched! No one holds a candle to her expertise.
maybe you should inform every ballet school and ballet teacher in the world. because it is notoriously acceptable to use both terms to describe this movement. additionally, make your own video that teaches it better. good luck.

Would love to have a video on how to improve balance. Especially balance on passe releve! Thank you!
You explain very very good. Every detail you show. Well done. More more videos please.

The energy of the "kicking legs"
Should I think of them as gran battemants or a (pique+saute)?
typically we think of it as two grand battments!
