As a senior, at almost 65, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Ballet is such a great way to build strength and balance, which most older people lose over time. Thanks for your effort. I hope you’ll do more.
I just took this class (I know, a little late!😆) But it was GREAT!! I’m a Mama of three kids and I rarely get to run out and take a class (even without a lockdown). All of these online classes are such a gift to us dancers, young, oldish, professional, non professional. I can keep doing this EVERY DAY from my house. So thank you! Thank you for sharing. You are a great teacher - with a joyful and gentle spirit. ❤️
I love how you're so passionate about teaching ballet, and so passionate about doing ballet as well! Pray you success, happiness and good health always Lauren!!
What a fabulous teach you are!! You are clear and give great analogies making it approachable. You should be very proud. Thank you for sharing this with us. 😍
Thanks, Lauren. It’s been decades, literally, since I took any ballet class. I’m almost 65, so the turn-out is a huge challenge after all these years, and it was never great to begin with. I’ve been looking for a ballet class for seniors for a long time since I think it’s great exercise for building strength and balance, which most of us lose over the years . Yours is a perfect class to start. I hope you’ll do more.
Thanks Lauren! This is great very beginner class. I did most of this in third so I'm not jamming myself into fifth. Maybe show third in another video for adult beginners.
Thank you so much!!! I miss dancing so much at the moment and even though I'm a beginner at Ballet, this just does me the world of good, so thank you!!!
So I'm definitely going to need to do this about every day, to get up to speed with it, since my form wasn't good at all in places, but I tried to take your tips and correct myself when possible. My thighs and butt are burning. I'm sweating more than I thought I would be, as well, which tells me at least for my level that I got a decent workout. Thanks for uploading!
Hi Lauren! I really liked the class, you're a great teacher and take time to explain many things other teachers take for granted in their video beginner ballet barre, I truly appreciate this. Great communicative energy, and I enjoyed your combination choices. Also, a detail, but I truly appreciate that you are NOT wearing black thights or leggings, as many instructors do and is much harder to follow in videos! (Harder to see what leg is in front through a screen) As for feedback regarding communication for true beginners, I would like more explanations regarding the difference between cou de pied and coupé in the développé exercice starting at 51:35, and why sometimes you do both and sometimes only one? Another thing, for a beginner who never did much attitude and whose body is not familiar with it, the exercice starting at 29:45 was veeeery fast and I couldn't do much better than a drunk noodle :\ Apart from that, I really liked the level of this barre, and again your explanations were great! I'll follow, hoping that you do more beginner/improver videos!
