She is gifted with a flat turnout but pleeeeaaase keep your own anatomy in mind. I worked with flat turnout and forced my body everyday and did all the strengthening but I ended up having multiple injuries in my knees, hips, back and feet and only after a surgery in my knee I've excepted my anatomy. And belive me working with my anatomy I got me so much better. Don't break your bodies, work with them!
I agree. Its not about not trying hard enough its about knowing your limit. Some people has limited hip range due to the bone structure itself making it impossible for them to turn out completely. But on the other hand, I do believe her videos benefit many other people too. All the best everyone!
Thank you for saying that. I also hurted myself the same way as a young dancer and, even though I now dance with my anatomy in mind, my right hip will never be the same.
I agree with subscribers who wrote that Maria very well explained usefulness of every exercise. This workout by the way shows how difficult is to prepare the body to master the elements of the ballet. It's big effort every day requiring great health, mental strength and of course talent. That's why I admire ballet dancers.
Ahhh, finally, somebody who decided not to wear black dresses!!!! I don't know why most dancers, male and female always show the exercises dressed in black. We can so much more see the muscles moving in this dressing here!!!! Also thanks for the diagonal positioning of the bar, which also most of the dancers avoid to do and they lose so much visual info in this. Also the general lightning is done well, so my honest congratulation Maria, you made a huge step to help also not professional people to understand better the development of the movements, thank you!!!
Ever since I started watching your videos and implementing your directions I’ve felt a noticeable change in my technique. You’re an inspiration, Maria. Thank you so much for all your hard work. 💖
@@K_ballet Partially agree. Your comment is a bit of a generalization. I know many people 45+ who can easily stretch full out. I know many people 45+ who are in much, much better shape than younger people. If someone who is 45+ starts ballet, then, of course, just like younger people who start ballet as adults, then of course they have to be extra careful, not stretching before warming up and learning to stretch progressively after class. It can be done, but it takes dedication and care every day.
This is great! I love how you give details, and tell us why the exercises are good! It helps me know which exercises I should put into different routines! Also I love how you said Bye Bye at the end it warmed my heart!
Once again, I'm far from being a professional ballet, but I loved how this exercise made me feel. I haven't practiced ballet since a teenager, and never ever had much flexibility to the back or much of a turnout at all (I started at age 13). My arabesques are pretty lousy - I can only get a few inches off the floor! The developes from the back in this workout - I literally could not lift my leg off the floor! (at least not with trying to lead from my knee). But as small as my ability and progress iis, I can feel those small muscles working, bringing my body back into proper alignment and helping to relieve my back issues (done slowly and carefully with modifications, of course). Had these videos been around when I was younger, I would have been much more successful as a dancer. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Thank you so much @MariaKhoreva for sharing your time, knowledge and experience! It helps more than you know. Thank you for your kindness and generous energy
I loved this video and all the tips even though I am an adult older student without your turnout but find the demo strating and tips so helpful, especially at my age and it has made dancing more enjoyable for me! Thank you Maria
Excellent video. One suggestion…would you make one that allows us to so all the exercises along with you. In this one the first part and third part were demonstrations only and I’d like to do those along with you.
It would be nice to have a variation of this for someone who's not as flexible. I can't get into the starting positions for the vast majority of those stretches and exercises.
@@sarahvera3877 I've been dancing for 10+ years. I do have a good understanding of technique and muscle awarness. I'm also naturally very inflexible with a very limited hip mobility.
Hey, what do you all think about this exercise. I've been doing it for a while and I feel like it helps with my standing leg: Stand with your left shoulder facing the mirror, feet in parallel. Retiré your left leg, turn it out and then slowly swivel your body towards the mirror, only using your turnout muscles and butt, not moving your standing foot. Take care to not let your working foot go banana and keep the arch of your standing foot lifted. I feel like it helps me getting used to the feeling of a really turned out standing leg, and it really gets all the turning and lifting muscles in your hips engaged without putting strain on the knees. It also helps with balance.
A brilliant dancer, a fabulous artist. Her body and gifts were vetted, and forged by the most renowned ballet school on earth. Don't feel bad no matter what. Next life, I'll meet you on audition day in front of the Vaganova Institute in 2060, let's get it right next time !❤
So true. The Vaganova chooses from thousands of children every year. They choose those with the physical attributes to produce such dancers, so the end result will always be optimal. Not all will be as blessed as this beautiful girl, but not denying the work ethic either. 🙏🏻
thank you so much, i juz subscribe yr channel🥰. I also wanted to learn how to improve back flexibility especially back chest can be bend more backward, could you teach a bit backward bend stretching from basic, thank you😍
@mariakhoreva I have a question about the exercise you do where you’re laying on your stomach and you go into fifth position and you do leg raises from fifth position. I noticed that when you do this you live your hip off the ground of the leg that is in fifth to the back meaning the leg that is on top as you’re laying on your stomach is this also what happens when you’re standing in fifth Because I always thought that the hipbones should stay in the same plane or is it at the foot that is behind you carry the hipbone with it so that actually in fifth position your hips are not in the same plane but they’re sort of at a diagonal as it is here when you’re laying on the floor? Does this make sense? Meaning I noticed that you don’t keep both of your hip bones on the floor one side is lifted up off the floor the side with the leg that is going to the back which is on top laying on your stomach.
This comment is for my two favourite Russian girls, Maria and Natalia. I'm sure you both have sufficient command of English to workout my message to you both. My message is "Yellow blue bus" both!
@@zevssilver that’s fine in your opinion because you’re not a ballet dancer, but this video is intended for real dancers in training to properly engage the right muscles in technique classes. Turn out technique is training from the hips and VMO/inner thighs, not the feet although she will accentuate movements with foot articulation (to show how turnout technique improves the foot angle and ballet lines). Keeping muscles warm is very important during warmups, hence her socks. You can always enjoy her beautiful esthetics on her other performances/rehearsal videos. Most her technique training videos on this channel will be done with socks to keep her feet warm and pliable. I understand socks cuts her ballet lines short, but this video is for proper training for real dancers (we all wear socks for comfort in warmups).

Of course for beginners and students before they become automatically flexible, never stretch before class without being warm.
Or…….extra extra careful if you are 45 and older 😬😜🍗

@@normamimosa5991 my teacher is 73 and still can do it all ❤️
This is the best practice video for turnout of all the time. Thank you, Maria...
Bravo MK. This splendid tute on turnout is invaluable for improving ballet technuque. Sending you blessings from Sri Lanka.
I will try this workout today as soon as I get home!
Totally agree that turnout is the most important key in ballet and essential for any dancer that wants a career in ballet.

Thank you! It helps! I also very much enjoy your presentation style.
your work is so clean, wonderful.

You have an awesome practice! Your ballet moves are so close to Dharma Mittra’s yoga. Perfection!
your exersices allways makes me want more
So inspiring, simply 360° brilliant Maria!
You are a machine! I mean that as the best possible compliment!
I love you Maria, you’re my role model 🥺 You’re such a talented young woman❤️❤️❤️ I love you so much ✨🩰🎶
Thank you Maria! Love all your advice and workouts. Would you be able to have a comprehensive video on developés? I struggle to hold mine.
Thank you! Although I don't practice, just watching is so enjoyable!
Thank you for this helpful video, Maria! I have natural turnout but I need to work on my strength and control.
Какая умница!❤.Замечательный педагог!
This is such valuable information! Thank you!!❤️
Thanks for the Video I NEED this❤️ with your talking through it felt so relaxing and mindful. I'm gonna repeat it every week if not every day . 🙏🙏
Мне аж "от посмотреть" больно стало. Спасибо, обязательно буду делать каждый день😁
Thank you Masha!! You are an incredible ballerina, love your videos!
Gracias por compartir tu experiencia !!! Felicitaciones !!!
It would be nice to have a variation of this for someone who's not as flexible. I can't get into the starting positions for the vast majority of those stretches and exercises.
you can start by practicing for a couple of months or weeks her stretching videos (for begginers, intermediates and advanced people)
if you can't even get into the starting positions maybe you shouldnt be watching intermediate videos for dancers...
@@sarahvera3877 I've been dancing for 10+ years. I do have a good understanding of technique and muscle awarness. I'm also naturally very inflexible with a very limited hip mobility.

При отведении ноги назад в последнем упражнении нужно разворачивать бедро? Или стараться, чтобы косточки смотрели вперед?
Thanks!
Hello Dear Maria🧚♀️⚘
Beautiful!!!!!!
Thank you
Thank you 🙏 Thank you 😊 Thank you❤️🩹
Who's giving a dislike? 🥺🥺😠
Мария вы можете снять видео как ходить на подъёмах стоп босиком.
Wonderfull
Hi I want to learn the split how can i begin
Очень интересно!!!
i'm in pain just watching 🙃
👍
Simple splits. Sure.
13:24
What is a turnout? 😅🤔
She doesn't have natural turnout right?
20:24 😍🥵
Easy... if your DNA is rubber.
sexi girl cmuk . super split
I Wonder how ur BF is happy🙂?
Too much talking. Please get on with the action.
The video is very useful, but filming in socks is nonsense.
Really? Why?
Can you explain why? She’s doing turn out not foot exercises, so why are socks an issue here?
@@sewitseams5632 Because she has insanely beautiful legs and curvature of the foot, too graceful and intricate, which pleases all my senses.
