It really helped me how many times we do it, so we be flexible i cant do the split how can you hold the pain can you pls help me!! thx
What if you don’t have your splits
"How to get flexible"
Stretch 4: do an oversplit
Me: ?????!!!!!!
I love your username bloody hell
IKR HAHAH
Nymphadora Lupin yeahh
If you're not there yet then just work for a split 😂😂 But yes, that was funny!
Ginny Potter Aha....ha....ha erm do you support germione by any chance?
That girl is already flexible . try someone who can do for first time
It's the same exercises. Do it on your limits
Plus, children are naturally more flexible. Let’s get an adult to try this.
Tori Greene
I was never that flexible when I was younger!
@@gd.523 lmao no. I could never do the splits when I was younger. I'm 13 now, and I'm working on my splits. I'm not quite there yet though
Chelsia Chelsia exactly
Stretch 4: forward split
We are trying to learn how to do the splitz
PATUNIA POTATO exactly
Doing the splits actually helps you get your splits ( if that made sense)
@@periwinkleluna469 that make sense.
Me
Too
Anyone else watching these videos to improve their flexibility but they all make you fell bad cause you can’t do splits
yup me right here
Or if you cant even touch your toes😂
Hell yeah
Hi so I learned the splits In less than a year
so I'm gonna give you some tips!
1. Try the splits slowly I know it will hurt but it's worth it trust me!
2. Do the butterfly go as far to the floor as you can!
3. Stay healthy your diet really effects your strength and durability to hold the splits or and flexibility based pose are whatever you want to do!!!
When do I do these? How long?
Evey morning right after you wake up and right before bed everyday hold the poses for as long as you can but don't kill yourself in the process! 😓
Wish you the best!
Yes me
Claudia, good evening, I like your channel, but you could challenge yourself to demonstrate your technique with less skilled students. For it seems all too easy, when your students are young, flexible, strong and virtuous, which is not the case for many people who study ballet.
RIGHT????!!!!
T
Exactly!!!
Thais Karina no
Yes
Great. I like the emphasis on stability in the hamstrings stretch. Perhaps you can make another video along the lines of "how to get flexible if you are not able to do splits" :) I think the extensions series is a good start for that already, however, and will consider this as part 3.
Consider working with someone as a demo who is not able to do splits yet. That will highlight specific challenges and ways to overcome them.
I totally agree! I work on my own so often, and I catch myself doing things like not keeping my hips square or the like. I think it would be really helpful to see her working with a beginner / intermediate flexible person and see her corrections that she applies!
What a fabulous idea! x
Yes! That'd help a lot! I stopped dancing (and stretching) for a number of years due to injury and don't know how to get back my flexibility correctly
Leonid Knyshov one of my ballet teachers thought that they way to learn how to do splits was just to be manually forced into one. To her credit, I never lost my flexibility after her. I feel better in most stretching or yoga positions.
Mande Loo
As a *non* *flexible* *adult* who lost flexibility in quarantine I *can* *confirm* that all of theses stretches will help you improve and all you need to do is take your time, maybe you don’t have to go over 20 seconds each time and just be patient. It will help immensely.
Just thinking about doing this gives me pain. 😂
I agree!
il
It's super painful at first, but you build a pain resistant the more you do it. We're all in this together lol you got this
Yeah
my big sis charisse quited ballet bcs of the splits with my older sis
I know this is for dancers, but I still love this channel and learning about ballet as a rhythmic gymnast. To me these stretches seem incredibly simple compared to our trainings😅 I know ballet doesn't require as much flexibility, but our teachers are like RIGHT GET YOUR 2 CHAIRS, YOUR LEGS SHOULD BE 270° AND OVER. BEND BACK SARAH! YOUR BUN SHOULD BE UNDER YOUR HIP! NO HANDS! 5 MINUTES! It's crazy to me that you aren't forced into oversplit every training😂 I don't have as much strength though, I'm working on it...
Show off
It does, but this video is for non flexible dancers (they don't have a lot of chances in big companies but yeah)
Flexibility is necessary as you get into more advanced training. It's not necessary when learning the basics because that's mainly learning technique, but after that it absolutely is necessary for when you're trying to get high extensions and work on ability.
😄💞
Thank you Claudia! As a fellow dance teacher, I appreciate the tips you give so I can help my students dance properly AND safely! Keep the videos coming!
Oh thank you so so much - this means a lot!! xx
R U A TEACHER! bc u said STUDENTS
I do ballet 8 years but i am not flexibel😭
Keep practicing, you can do this! x
I've been doing ballet since I was three and am still not good!
too
I've been doing ballet for 4 months and I can do a backbend and oversplits🤔
Daniek en Liev
Im not really flexible i can do middle splits
No matter how hard I try, my leg still can’t do the splits and I’m 10 😭
It takes time, i got my splits after 3 weeks, you should stretch everyDAY
...you have 2 girls that may help you, they are anna mcnulty,alivia dandrea
Same I'm 11 almost 12 in two weeks
I started when I was 13 and get my splits 3 months after
@@gachacrepes5460 omg I watch both of their channel too they are amazing especially Anna
I'm 11 and I can't do the splits ether...But it's been my dream I really wish I practices when I was smaller and my bones were more flexible...
7:54 - I can't do that yet 🥺, can you do a video for people who can't do splits?? Love you 💞😊
I can’t even touch my toes yet!
What a beautiful little dancer! So cute!💕
I learnt ballet for three years, the second year I was super flexible but now I can’t even do a middle split without hurting my legs
Edit: I can do both now.
ᎷᎬᏩᎪN ᎬᎷᎷᎪ ᏞᏆᎷ When did you start?
Aw im happy for you!
Damn
I can do a middle split
Only that XD
Alaina: * awkwardly smiles for ten minutes straight *
Evelyn. L she’s cute!!! What else is she supposed to do lol
Olive & Eunice (っ･ω･)っ true
I feel uncomfortable because that's my actual name-
That's not even a way to spell her name it's Alena which is mine or Elena
I have the same name as her
I can't do a split that's why I'm here lmao
Lol same
I've been doing this for 7 months now, and my mom caught me in my room doing these..Next week, she surprised me with lessons! I'm so greatful for this video, honestly..thank you.
You never had lessons and could do all of these?? You must be super flexible.
I’m not a dancer but I’m a theater kid and this might help a lot in the future once I start doing dance.
Me can’t even lift my heels off the ground 😂😂😂
The ability to lift your heels off the ground isn't from flexibility. If I remember correctly, it's cause your knees are hyper-extended.
You've done it again Claudia! I swear I'm literally the least flexible person ever 😂 this will really be helpful in preparation for our upcoming show next weekend :) Thanks again 💗💗
Good luck! 😙
GOOD LUCK!! Lots of love- you'll be amazing!!
Thanks for all of the love and support xxxx
Celeste Chong no I am
Breach a leg not literally sorry I saw that cause I dance sing and I’m an actress so yea good luck 🍀
After doing these exercises I actually got into the splits!!❤️❤️ I never thought I could!😄
You get her ... then you get me who can't even touch my toes😣
Sameeeeee😂
Same😂
Same😂😂😂😂
I couldn't touch my toes at first, but like Claudia said, just keep doing it, and your legs will kinda get numb and you'll be able to touch your toes. I wasn't able to touch my toes like five minutes ago, but now I can. It really works! 💙
Same I’m have scoliosis OOF 😅
I love ballet and Im sure that Yoga is a perfect teacher, further of geting flexible or knowing about your possition without any mirror. It is a way of life that can help you grow and reach your real goals.
Peace & Love
Some people cant do the splits
If people can't do the splits, they're not paying for ballet coaching either. They're going to basic dance class. Which isn't what this channel is.
Jane Holgate well I've done ballet for 13 years and still can't do them (I did have all three but then I broke my arm and only had my left then broke my foot around 2 years ago and I haven't had any since) I'm still trying really hard tho and I'm getting closer xx
Jayla Spivey I disagree. I only started dancing when I was 9, in 4th grade, and I was able to get all three of my splits down within a year. When I turned 10, I was already way more flexible than all of the dancers in my classes, most of which have been dancing since they were around 2. Keep in mind the fact that I’m not naturally flexible, it took a lot of hard work, but eventually I got all three of them down. The key to getting the splits is not how well you do them, it’s how much. Doing them for a couple minutes everyday, or honestly even every other day is enough. And make sure that you keep on stretching even after you get the splits. A lot of my dance friends had the splits but then lost them cause they never practiced. So yea, if you work hard enough, you’ll eventually get them, it might take some time, but the results are definitely worth it. Being flexible is really a huge advantage when it comes to dance. For me, I have higher grande battlements (a type of kick,) bigger leaps, etc.
@@jessicad5938 First off, you were child of 9 and growing children are naturally more flexible. Not everyone starts dance young. Second, if you started at age 9 and were more flexible than people who had six years of training on you within a year, you are naturally flexible to begin with. There ARE people that CANNOT do splits, period. It has something to do with their bodies. Just as some people are hyper flexible, others extremely inflexible. There is a limit to how far training can get these people and for some that means never being able to do splits.
Jayla Spivey push as far as u can
holding the splits longer really helps... I started feeling my musles loosening up and basically slid right into them after only 5 minutes of stretching!!
That’s what science says- holding the stretches for longer (a minimum of 90 sec) is the most effective
I LOVE her accent!
Corgi Dog She has an accent?
Corgi Dog you would love Australia lmao
Sofia McLeod are you Australian lmao
@@TheonewhereCupcake I am. There isn't the same accent as she is speaking in the video tho. They sound different to what is normally spoken here :)
The whole reason I watched this video was to be able to do the splits and you expect us to already know how??
Ik this is old but you don’t have to know how to do a split just go as far as u can
You're already flexible...try using another person that isn't
Exactly
@@saarinenj1 why? it's a channel about ballet - this video probably wasnt made so a soccer mom could learn how to do a split
@@LegallyBoopy There are people who got into ballet late and didn't get the chance to grow with "open joints"
Me Included, and I'm 13.
@@LegallyBoopy Um the people most likely to watch a video like this are ballet BEGINNERS or people wanting to start ballet. In all honestly, do you think higher level ballet students, who know how to stretch and have teachers helping with all this stuff already, watch this? You think every beginner can do splits already, let alone people who are only considering ballet? Videos like this are actually discouraging if anything, because it makes it seem as if you already have to be able to BE flexible to BECOME flexible. I can see teenage girls who would love to dance ballet see this and be scared off because they cannot do this stuff already (when most people can't without any training, including kids).
@@mchobbit2951 ok, karen
I think you are so kind! because in korea some ballet teachers are so scary...
I wish korean ballet teacher be kind,,! ( please understand.. i'm not good at English..)
It was really good
I'm definitely going to take some of the tips! I had no idea that its better to take the weight off of your hip flexor during trhe lunge stretch! Also, I'd only been doing my stretches, 10-25 seconds! I'm definitely going to hold for at least a minute form now on! I've been fighting for my splits forever, and I'm almost at my right splits :)
That's exciting Juliet, keep going! xx
She makes it look so easy
It's so sad that almost everybody in my family is flexible but there kids and I'm just saying that I getting put in dance class when I go to Atlanta for the summer and I think I'm being put in ballet class and my cousin has been doing since she was 2 come on I will never be flexible😔😔😭😓
Me too!
Carol Rogers I get you I can't even open my legs 90 degrees
Never give up!
Of course you will be flexible ! It may take alot of time to attend your cousin's level and you may never be a professional dancer but gaining flexibility is NOT something impossible and really difficult !
Don’t give up! I remember last time when I was 9, I could do the splits in two weeks. But, now, I’m 11 and I haven’t practiced for so long since 2016 and it took me 1 year to get them back
This is such a fab video! It would be so amazing if you made a regaining strength and flexibility video for someone like me, who's suffered from an extreme hamstring injury and is looking to regain everything that I've lost! I look forward to your uploads as your videos are just so great! xxx
I wish Claudia was my teacher
I used to do ballet for six years and I could do the splits. I quit for two years and now I can’t even touch my toes
The girl smiling in the beginning be like: hOw lOnG ShOuLd I kEeP sMiLiNg iM TiReD 👁💧👄💧👁
Great video. I am a dancer and self taught gymnast. I am quite flexible but lately I was starting to lose some of my flexibility skills like splits and needle.
Do u learn it from youtube?
Emily Bruce same
Yeah same apart from the dancer part. I am a dancer aswell but I don't actually do like as a sport my coach is my best friend XD
I can’t do the first one because I don’t have hyperextended legs :(
Thank you Claudia the deep hamstring stretch was a new one for me.
It's fantastic hey! x
The little girl is gonna damage her hands cuz when she was doing the wall stretch she was putting the weigh on her fingers not her whole palm. 8:05
Mimi C wtf
Mimi C I was thinking the exact same thing and I felt really bad for her. Her and I are probably around the same age so I can’t imagine getting injured so young and not being able to dance especially because I’m a competitive dancer.
Mimi C her weight isn’t on her hands is mostly on her front leg, she’s just using her hands for extra support and balance
Mimi C I'm a dancer and a gymnast and we do that with our hands all the time. That's if our hands are stretched enough
it could be to protect her wrists. At least in breakdancing they always want you to put weight on the base of your fingers instead of the heel of your palm. it distributes the weight more widely
I've been doing ballet since I was 2 it is very easy for me ,but these are really cool it is like beeing ain class
How to get flexible!
Stretch 4 : do an over split!
Me: how the heck did she do that???!!!?!?!
Wahhh her smile is so good
For those of you saying that this girl's already flexible yes she is, the number one thing I was taught in dance and still have to use as don't compare yourself to others just because a certain person is flexible does it mean that everyone Well be. If you do these exercises to at least what you're able to do each and every day you'll see drastic measures changed in your flexibility you also have to at least take yoga and pilates to do this to stay fit and much more, Don't use the I'm not flexible excuse you got to at lest try it , it's doing to hurt I'm not going to lie to you all .
Me and my younger sister are actually interested in taking ballet classes once we can afford them. This seems like a good way to build up our flexibility before we take them. I’ve wanted to do ballet for 19 years and while I no longer dream of dancing as Clara/Marie from The Nutcracker (thanks mom for saying I wasn’t allowed dance lessons because it didn’t involve showing an animal) I still wanna learn ballet because I never lost my passion for it or love of dancing. Aside from when I’m working on my novels or mangas I only ever feel free and happy when dancing so I wanna learn how to actually dance ballet.
Wow! This video is so helpful! Thank you for putting so much effort in your videos!💗😙
THANK YOU
Ina Delić did it work????
Ina Delić q
Here I am. Getting flexible and trying to do splits because of quarantine.
Totally... always do the less flexible side and hold for at least 3 minutes.. or work up to three minutes plus because the muscle fascia will only stretch after 3 minutes.. usually. Yoga stretches offer balance in the body.. eg you want your hamstrings to be as flexible as your Quads..
It's definitely not true that you need 3 minutes. If anything, 3 minutes is a very long period which can overstretch and hurt you. Most asanas in Ashtanga yoga are held for just 5 breaths.
Basically, these passive stretching techniques shown here are not healthy. The stretching should come not from gravity/weight or someone else applying force, but from active reaching movement and be paired with strength training of the supporting muscles (which is the case in properly executed yoga or contortion exercise). Of course, ballet/dance teachers don't really care, and the students end up injured fairly often.
I love you thank you for telling me how to get flexible
Thank you so much I'm flexible now
Awesome! Flexibility tips are always awesome because flexibility is needed in so many different fields!
Couldn't agree more!! xx
Omg... The lady with white t shirt so beautiful and white so picture perfect.. Looks like the type Alexndra Waterbury..
What is the brand/style of her ballet shoes? They fit so well!
I’m glad you showed us this. This is helpful for me
Heyyyyy guys please help me I'm 13 and i want to learn ballet so so bad but sadly I'm the most not flexible person The whole wide world can find and I'm not taking any class just watching TH-cam lol because I'm poor so please help me learn how to ballet please please please some tips or rules because I'm afraid I might get injured and no one's here to teach me so please please please help me🙂🙃😕🙁☹️😣😪😢😭✌🏻️😂❤️💜🙏🏻😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😭
I acually started to watch dancing so then i thought this is what i wanna do so im gonnaa start
Thanks! this video is super helpful! Can you do a video on HypO extension (the opposite of hyper extension) because I get the correction to straighten my knees a lot but I physically can't, its so frustrating!
Thank you so much! Also I will definitely consider this - thanks for the suggestion xo
It's so annoying for me as well, I don't have that problem with my knees, I don't know how to explain, it's like...when I stand in parallel my knees have a bump on the inside and because of that, when I stand in 3rd position it looks like they are bent but they aren't, my teacher tells me to straighten them when I'm trying as hard as I can!!
Awesome! Get flexible the right way with these tips.
Zigo8 me tooo
Soo need this I've got so far now I'm stuck thank u claudia! Xx
Megan Anytime!! 😘😘😘
Megan 😜
CC o Cc o CC o
You're a really good teacher
I have tried so many stretching videos, but this one was by far the best! I love how you explain each position so well. This helped so much!!💗💗
0:26 😂😂 the little girls eyes omg
Um....... stretch 4
How if I can’t do a split ☹️
Then what should I do if I can’t do splits 😨
0070223c hristy sit on a few pillows while trying your splitz this way it will be stretching you well and help you get your split and as you get better start taking pillows away and soon you will have your split
You can also try over splits on an object. It really helps for me
Do each of the splits for one minute every night before bed. Your legs and hips will eventually get it. You just have to tell yourself, if I want to get my splits, then this is what I have to do. Trust me, you will get it.
If you activate the muscle/muscle group that does opposite movement from the one you are stretching (for example hip extensors when you are streching hip flexors) your neural system reflexively relaxes the muscle you are trying to stretch. (Its not conscious; the reflex happens through your spinal chord). Try activating your glutes, for example when streching the flexors. Not overmuch, just basic activation. The same thing happens when you pull up your kneecap while streching your hip extensors/knee flexors by the wall. You activate the quadriceps muscle the extends your knees and flexes your hip, therefore your neural system relaxes your glutes and hamstring (that extend your hips and flex your knee: opposite movement), allowing you free movement. Try this, see if it makes a difference. (You should keep up the activation for at least 15 seconds). This neural reflex is there to allow you free range of movement in every joint without injury in your everyday life.
I haven't done balle in my whole life so i may have a little difficulty in splits (all splits)so can you tell me how to learn spilts easyily,😃😃
Thx for posting this video! I love listening to dance/gymnastics videos! I'm going to try these. 😊
Ive been doing ballet since i was 2 and im not that flexibleㅠㅠ mnths later (still stretching).... still the same.. lol
after only doing these stretches once i'm so much more comfortable in my splits. thankyou!
Holding stretches for a minute or longer? I'm confused... I've been told that holding stretches for longer than 30 seconds increases your risk of injury. Even a dance physician told me that!
Since I'm also a dance teacher now, I wanna do what's best for my students, but sometimes it's really hard to figure out what's true, because there often are equally qualified people with totally different views on topics like stretching, working with hyper-extension, turnout etc..
Violet Heroine If you stretch for less than thirty seconds then your muscles will still limber up but you won’t increase your flexibility. It is true that if you aren’t warm and hold stretches you can injure yourself though. Hope this helps! X
Thanks for the input :)
I reply in late but at the beginning of your stretching routine you should do no more than 30 sec, then when the muscles are warmed up, you can do 1min or more ^^
I'm flexible now Thanks so much
Title: how to get flexible
My mind: how to get a spot in the hospital
I cant do the first one, i cant even reach my toes!!😂😂😂
I am flexible because of ANNA MCNULTY
Me too
This is really fun!!! I wanted to be flexible
AHH!!! *-* Thank you for the video!!
Louise FMir My pleasure! 😍😍😍
Flexibility were marvellous 👌👌👍
Good effort 🌹🌹 thanks for making it 🥰
But I was only able to do 1or 2 stretching 😂😂
I am practicing 😅
Comment who has same problem 😅😅
I don't have a barre in my house to hold on to. Any alternatives? Loved this, btw!
Jillian B chair with a back will work and also a ladder
Jillian B a bed the like head of it or a sofa or even a chair that is probs the best option a chair
I meant in terms of holding my weight for the stretches, not in terms of being a barre. But thanks for the responses!
Got it now. you can stretch between 2 chair with a back, it will work just fine.
if you have an upstairs or a veranda banisters or stair railings are good!
Thankyou for a great video brilliant strech exercises
That girl is already too flexible so try someone who is not flexible.
Thanks Claudia as always ❤️ much love from Venezuela 🇻🇪
Video: how to be flexible
Me: oh yay
Video: do the F UC K I N G splits
Claudia please!!! one of my insecurities at dance class is my hips and butt, i have lots of fat on that area and i workout A LOT is just genetics, and it prevents me of doing many back exercises
Her legs are so long and gorgeous :O
I never knew you had to be flexible to get flexuble😂😂💓
Stretch 5
Splits on wall
Me : and I oop
If you can't do the splits get pillows to do it on as many as you need and you might need to hold yourself with your hands and toes I do that and I still feel it
My legs are too long for the first one😧😢
Breyahna Wheeler boo hoo
Breyahna Wheeler My legs are long too, but I can Do the First one...
