I'm 66 and my body still remembers the positions even if I can't do them like when I was a teen. Thanks for taking the trouble to do this!
My pleasure! Kimberley
I have taken ballet classes since i were 4 and stopped at the age of 35 after having two boys...no time then. Since then, I am infatuated by ballet and choreography. Now im going back to practice the steps and enjoy what i can possibly do at my age 67. There is no such thing as age, with fitness one can do miracles.
Thank you for the class.
My pleasure - Enjoy reigniting your love for ballet! Kimberley
Hi Nagla, I feel so good knowing there’s many like me who never want to give up ballet & what it means to us! We do it for the love & enjoyment of it -- you are absolutely right about “no such thing as age”, and even in our 60s we can always improve our fitness
so so wonderful my lower body just got a great lovely workout in the first 5 minutes.
Thanks to everyone for sharing your opinions, I am 43, and I also want to do ballet everyday.
Thanks so much for a fantastic class!!!💖
You’re very welcome Denise, I’m glad you enjoyed it! There’s more follow along classes available on my DVDs at: www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/tips-on-ballet-technique-dvds
Hi, I'm in the US and we're in quarantine right now so it's not the easiest to find a way to continue training. Thank you so much for posting this video so I can continue!

@@TipsOnBalletTechnique I am in the same situation and these videos are such a gift. Thank you for sharing.
@@nataliehail4211 You're welcome :-)
omg this was so helpful for trying to recover some technique its been too long since ive done barre work, the pain is real lol
Just what I was looking for. I used to ballet as a child and wanted the same simple elements that I remembered. I’d forgotten how hard a barre session could be. I love how despite being nothing like a ballerina just doing a session makes you feel like one.
Thank you Jessica! I am so pleased that you are enjoying the video and I hope that you have continued to find it useful, Kimberley
Excellent video, love this class! I have not been able to attend class for over a year, and as an aging (60 year old) beginner this is so helpful. Thank you!
Excellent video. Thank you. I'm starting ballet at 58!
Fantastic news! I'm glad you enjoyed video - Kimberley
Im saving money for my adult ballet for beginners class...im glad i found your video to help start at home and be prepared for it...thank you
thank you so much for this video, super well explained and dynamic. From Barcelona, Spain.
You’re welcome Eva! 😊
am very much a middle aged beginner, enjoying this class so much!! have yet to finish the whole vid though! this time next century, i might be as elegant as you :-) thanks for posting this xx
You’re welcome! Thank you for trying my barre Lucinda, it’s great to hear that you’re enjoying it! Have you seen my playlist for beginner ballet? You can watch it here : th-cam.com/play/PL2uKu8q5cK1rJp3eoVudwN3tWVtzgy6Ol.html
Great video. Easy to follow. I'm 46 and I'm just starting to practice. Thank you
Thank you so much and I am so pleased that you enjoyed the video! Kimberley
I am 55 and was away from ballet for 7 years due to starting a business but will return to the studio this winter but wanted to do some brushing up and conditioning prior to in-studio class and the videos are perfect. Thank you so much!
Fantastic news! I hope that you are finding the videos useful before you head back into the studio! Kimberley
A wonderful class. Thank you.
You’re welcome, and thank you for watching 😊
This is the best ballet tutorial video I've ever seen! The instructor explains and demonstrates very clearly, and with such a positive and enthusiastic attitude! Spectacular work! I'll be purchasing your DVDs. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you very much for your lovely comment - I am so pleased that you are finding the video useful. Kimberley
I absolutely love this! Thanks so much. Well-thought-out exercises, so cleanly demonstrated, good reminders, totally unfussy and unpretentious. Just great for keeping in ballet shape when I cannot get to class. Thanks again!
Thank you for your lovely comments Rachel, it’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the video 🙂
I used to go to adult ballet class in Korea and this is the most helpful and close to real beginner adult ballet class. I workout with videos of Royal Ballet class live from World Ballet Day, but it takes a while to remember follow steps for my beginner-intermediate level. So I am very satisfied and happy that I found this channel. Thank you so much!
You are most welcome - I hope that you are enjoying the videos! Kimberley
I like your video a lot. I'm a martial artist and ballroom dancer and curiosity has led me to research ballet lately and I regret I didn't do so much earlier. When it comes to extension and balance, nothing beats ballet - simple as that. In martial arts, we kick too fast with much power but hardly few people can actually raise their legs slowly and hold it in mid air and slowly put it down. They just don't teach it - you have to figure it out and that's why Bruce lee ended up taking up dancing to improve his extension and balance! :)
Hi Franck - thank you for your comment and I am so pleased that you like the video. I actually trained for a long time in Wado Ryu Karate and got my 1st Dan. I was fortunate to compete in Japan a few times and often felt that ballet helped me a lot with my martial arts, especially Kata! Kimberley
Go ahead and do ballet! There is nothing stopping you! This thing about needing to start young is a myth. If you are a martial artist and a ballroom dancer then you already have enough of a fitness level to jump right into a beginner classroom and go for it. All you need is a teacher who is willing to be strict (and not just "recreational") about it, so that you can learn it properly and end up really being able to do all those great things with legs, jumps, and turns!! Best wishes to you and I hope you do try!
Hi Franck I love it how you relate the martial arts to ballet. I’ve always thought martial arts forms as beautiful dances, and the actual fighting can be beautiful (except for knowing it’s violence & pain but that’s that. Martial arts has a purpose other than looking lovely. And besides, a well-aimed kick in a pointe shoe can deliver knockout force, or more, don’t you think? So nice to know Bruce Lee took up dance too!!
Is that the same as Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do?
Carol, karate is a Japanese martial art form,
jeet kune do is kung fu, like bruce lee, a Chinese martial art form
I love your teaching style and pace. I am relearning ballet after 42 years. This is perfect for me. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words Cristal and thank you for checking out my TH-cam channel... That’s fantastic to hear that you have come back to ballet after 42 years!
Well done! Very clear and well-thought out. Plus I love the English accent and correct ballet terminology.
Thank you Lisa 😊
Great music ! And clear explanations of the moves . Thanks🌸
You’re welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed the video Rachel. The music is by David Plumpton, he has a lovely selection of CDs of ballet and tap music. You can browse all of his CDs at www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/david-plumpton-music-for-ballet-class-cds
Beautiful class! Thank you! Get back to it! ❤️
Love this video so much! I did ballet as a little girl and had to leave it behind due to financial reasons. I've always regretted it. Finding adult classes in my town has been impossible so this resource is just invaluable. Thank you thank you for uploading this

Thank you for your lovely comments Jan, it’s great to hear that you’re enjoying the video.
Thank you very much for posting this class. It has been a great help for my students. Greetings from Mexico.
You’re very welcome Clarisa! I’m glad to hear that it’s been helpful for your students.
I'm 32 always got rejected because I was to old to learn ballet and your video helps me so much especially during this covid period. Thanks so much
You’re welcome and thank you for watching! It’s great to hear that you’re enjoying my videos.
That’s honestly sad.... I’m sorry that you were rejected 😓.... I’ll prob get rejected too honestly
Thanks so much. See you soon
You’re welcome Jose. Thank you for checking out my channel 🙂
I am 70 years old. I took four months of adult beginner ballet last year. This is a great way to keep up with the routines until I go again to classes this fall.
Excellent news - I am really pleased that you can use this video in between your lessons, what a great combination! Kimberley
My legs hurt so bad. This is definitely the real deal. Hahaha. I'm looking forward to practicing this everyday and mastering it!
For now. SO PAINFUUUUUL!! MY LEEEGS!!
I take official ballet classes now. Along with practicing Intermediate/Advanced ballet videos. Skipped back to the part of this video I used to struggle with most and couldn't stop laughing.
I cannot BELIEVE I used to struggle with this!
Hahaha! Didn't realize how much improvement had come.
But I seriously am grateful to these videos. Was the perfect start!
Thank you so much, your teaching is clear & easy to understand, & the music is fabulous!
I’m a adult beginner & live in Hong Kong, it is rising up Covid 19 cases so we need to stay home. Ballet school closed too......very sad.... thanks again your video, I enjoy sooooo much!!!!
Thank you Erika! The music is by David Plumpton... He has 30 albums of ballet and tap music available at www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/david-plumpton-music-for-ballet-class-cds I hope you’re enjoying dancing along at home and hopefully we’ll all be able to get back to the ballet studio soon! Thanks again for checking out my TH-cam channel 😊
oh wow this class is amazing! anymore longer classes for beginner adults? I'm HOOKED
Thank you very much! There is also a centre and allegro video that follows on from this. If you have found it beneficial, there are 2 more full classes on the Ballet Class For Adults DVD here: www.pdedancesupplies.com/products/ballet-class-for-adults-beginner-level-3-dvd-disc-set
Just did this class as an isolation workout/technique recovery after yeeeears of not doing ballet and I absolutely LOVED it!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful video :)
Thank you for your kind words Julia, it’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the class! 😊
Thank you very much. It certainly helps with the quarantine.
You’re welcome Celina, it’s great to hear that my videos are helping you to keep active and keep on dancing through the quarantine! Best wishes - Kimberley.
Under this lockdown for Covid 19, this exercise really refreshes me everyday, even in the condominium, this is very elegant and quiet for moving.
Thank you !!
Thank you Suzuki! It’s wonderful to hear that my follow along barre is helping you to stay active. Wishing you good health and happiness at this difficult time. -Kimberley
excellent. thankyou so much.
Thank you Anthony 🙂
I am so glad I found your videos while searching this topic. I have absolutely no dance experience and started taking Adult Beginning Ballet 2 years ago and have fallen in love with it (even at my age...uh-hum). Im never going to be a pro, but enjoy the exercise and enjoyment it provides me. I can't thank you enough for these instructional videos you post. They are very easy to understand and follow along with and will help me to keep in practice while class it out for summer and to continue to learn on my own, with the help and guidance of your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Hi Jim, thank you so much for your lovely comment and that is fantastic that you are enjoying your adult ballet classes. What a great idea to use the videos over the summer and it can be a nice way to go through things slowly at your own pace before going back into class! If you like this video and want some different classes to practice over the summer I do have a "Ballet Class for Adults Beginner Level" 3 DVD Disc set. It contains the class that you can watch on TH-cam plus 2 more full classes of the same level. You can learn more about it here: www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/tips-on-ballet-technique-dvds Hope that helps! Kimberley
Wonderful workout. As an aging woman, I really appreciate the strength this imparts to my feet, and how it corrects my posture. Also, I have nearly the very same outfit. It is from Modli Calypsa? They market them as modest bathing suits but they are the perfect workout wear. :D
Thank you! I am a former dancer and need to dance at home for now; please do grand battements next class?
Hello Jill, thank you for checking out my channel. If you want to practise your grand battements, they’re included in this follow along barre: th-cam.com/video/EpNGqLu6Nf8/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video, it's a great addition to my ballet semester classes! Thank you so so much!
You’re welcome Anais, thank you for checking out my channel!
Thank youuuuu, sweet lady !!! This is exactly what I was looking for, with the mood I needed ! A dancer, this is the only thing I would have liked to be. My body and my soul, grateful !! Thanks for sewing hope in this lockdown times. I subscribe right now, from Buenos Aires. Be blessed in Jesus.
You are a beautiful dancer and fabulous teacher! Thank you for your detailed videos with exquisite technique! It has been helping me with my teaching of ballet barre in a 10-12 year lyrical ballet class. :)
Thank you! :-)
Thanks for making this video Kimberley! I’m going to be 54 soon and still want ballet in my life, so I’m taking a once a week adult class. But as the nature of most adult classes in my area is “mostly recreational”, I really need good videos (and online teachers!) to practice with so that when I’m in class I can practice / remember good technique and hold myself to a high standard. I like the pace of your teaching, you have a lovely voice and presence. :). Aside from looking to gain strength & improve technique, I also hope to improve my ability to remember longer combinations. Your videos are so helpful, and fun! I like the music too. :). Thanks again - I look forward to more with you!
Thank you for your lovely comment Joy Lara! I am so pleased that you are finding the videos useful - Kimberley
In this video it is perfectly understandable, as the combo's are longish and it is beginner level. However - I find it more productive when the combinations are not called out all the way through, because I get better practice at remembering combinations, and getting myself back on track if lost. I have even had teachers who bark out the whole combination so loud it feels like a hammer! Have gone home with headache from trying to interpret the music artistically, lol! Online barres are a dream when the talking is all done when the exercise is initially described, and not after the music starts. So pleasant! Love!
Thank you! Kimberley
I'm a 42 year old beginner and this video was just what I was looking for thank you. I'm going to keep practicing.

@@TipsOnBalletTechnique thank you so much. I will check them out.
You dance beautifully. I just started .. a Adult Introduction to beginner ballet . At the National Ballet of Canada 🇨🇦. I practice yoga a lot and love it but I was looking for a change . I have a bit of arthritis in my knee so I can’t bend all the way . I’m frustrated because our teacher moves to fast and I’m trying to focus .. it’s only my third class. I like the way you explain everything thank you . You break it down . And your not that fast which is helpful for absolute beginners . Thank you ..
Thank you for your lovely comment and that's wonderful that you have started taking ballet classes! Let me know how you're getting on! -Kimberley
I really enjoy your video. Thank you very much.😍 I start practice ballet and really love that way you teach the movements slow and patienly. I would like a video that you can improve the 5th position or the turn outs, please. 😊
Thank you for your comment Elizabeth, it’s lovely to hear that you are enjoying my video 😊 I don’t have a video specifically for turn out and 5th position but you might like this beginner ballet video which includes some tips on the positions of the feet : th-cam.com/video/KvsNZISrHv4/w-d-xo.html
I love it
❤️ Thank you Pauli!
Thank you so much! You are so graceful and easy to follow so that even if you're so beautiful I dont feel frustrated, instead, I just want to keep on practicing when I'm home! You will be part of my 2019 ❤

You choice of music is perfect and you have a very pleasant voice to listen to when you explain. Thank you, looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Thank you so much! I am so pleased that you are finding the video helpful. The music is David Plumpton - he has lots of ballet class for music CDs, which are wonderful! Kimberley
Such a good class, joining from Dubai. This was a great way to continue practicing during the lockdown. By the way did anyone tell you, you look like Winona Ryder :)

Thank you so much for this video
My pleasure - I am so pleased that you enjoyed the video! Kimberley
I got up at 5.30-6 am this week every day and I did this video first thing in the morning! enjoy it so much every time :)
That is excellent! I always like doing a class first thing in the morning! Let me know how you get on and when you start to feel the improvement! Kimberley
I am feeling so much improvement already! My posture throughout the day is so much better, my shoulders more free, fingers more alive and I feel more bouncy. And also, I feel really inspired and considering to start taking ballet classes.
Fantastic! I am so pleased that you are considering taking ballet classes - go for it!! Kimberley
I appreciate this ! I still fear it’s too late for me to get started ! 😬 I’m Already 19 !
This video is golden!
Thank you so much - Kimberley
Thx Teacher....very good demonstration and videos!!!
Thank you so so much for this video! I’m going to use it every day until I can afford to start my classes
You're welcome Nova, I hope you enjoy practising along with the video. There's more follow along barres and tips for specific ballet steps on my Tips On Ballet Technique channel. - Kimberley.
Beautiful class Kimberley, thank you! Sandy :)
Thank you Sandy!
Love this but will you please move the camera closer? Thank you so much!
Beautiful music as well . would you be able to share the music what piece and who is playing the piano?
Hi Rachel, thanks for watching. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the music too! It’s all from David Plumpton’s albums New Classics and New Classics 2. You can see his full collection of albums at: www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/david-plumpton-music-for-ballet-class-cds
Hi I am in the USA and in quarantine. Are you teaching your ballet classes live on line?
Hi, thank you for checking out my TH-cam channel. I’m not offering online classes. However I do have a number of follow along DVDS available at www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/tips-on-ballet-technique-dvds and a large selection of downloadable ballet videos for you to watch on your computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone at www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/tips-on-ballet-technique-downloadable-videos
thank you so much for this! it's perfect!
You are very welcome - Kimberley
I really liked this video for practicing at home between classes. however I find it a bit difficult to watch the video, hold on to 'the barre' which is in my case the wall and to the movements properly while keeping a good posture and not hitting my feet against the wall during the exercises facing the barre. The ones sideways on the barre are great though.
I am glad that you liked the video. You can always practice the 'facing' the barre exercises sideways to the barre if that makes it easier for you and then just repeat it again on the other side. Hope that helps! Kimberley
thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos. God bless you❗️
My pleasure - Kimberley
These are really professional classes and great for practicing at home. I was wondering if your 3 cd Course was available as iOS download as when working at home and switching sides I can move my iPad relatively quickly but cannot move my tv which is attached to my DVD player. Thank you so much for these and good luck with your career.
Hi Patricia, thank you so much for your kind words about the classes and I am so pleased that you are finding them useful. I am sorry but we only offer this on the 3 DVD disc set. I do have lots of downloadable videos that you should be able to download to your iPad. However the download videos are where I look at the technique of different steps from the ballet class in more detail rather than the follow along classes. You can view all of the DVDs here: www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/tips-on-ballet-technique-dvds you can also browse the full selection of downloadable video at www.tipsonballettechnique.com Hope that helps - Kimberley
How do you properly do a plier? I never seem to get that right and i've never done ballet before.
Hi Tandra, thank you for your comment. If you want some tips on how to do a plié, I'd recommend taking a look at this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL2uKu8q5cK1res24bBiIvSOh7EeO2NkEX.html
Thank you so much for this.
My pleasure - Kimberley
Thank you!
My pleasure - Kimberley
Could you please list music used in the tutorial? Thank you!
Hi Jen, the music used for each exercise is listed on the video at the start of the exercise. It's all music by David Plumpton, from his albums New Classics and New Classics 2. If you wish to purchase the music separately, you can browse all of David Plumpton's CDs at: www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/david-plumpton-music-for-ballet-class-cds
I found myself constantly getting confused with foot positions, as in right and left. Like, if the teacher used her left foot in front during fifth position, for some reason, I'd struggle to figure out if I was supposed to copy her or mirror it. What an odd issue of mine. Lol.
Either way, amazing video! Thank you so much! This has given me such hope! Along with horrible leg pain. Lol. But totally worth it!! Especially since I know it'll be less the more I practice. ^w^
Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Great to hear that you are enjoying the video! Kimberley
Awesome :) thanks!
You are most welcome! Kimberley
Would this also apply to teens as well? Because I want to try ballet but I have never done it before. I know that ballet helps with flexibility and strength, as well with posture too! Thanks for the video!
Yes Kaylee but just make sure that you are nice and warm before you start! You may find it beneficial if you are attending ballet lessons as well but let me know how you get on. Kimberley
I have started to teach myself ballet I was wondering if you have any ideas on the best way on learning 5th position I find it very difficult any tips would be great thank you, - Zoe
Hello Zoe, thank you for checking out my Channel and I hope you’re enjoying getting started with ballet! My video of Beginner Ballet Tips takes you through all the basic positions of the feet, arms and more. You can watch the video at: th-cam.com/video/KvsNZISrHv4/w-d-xo.html If you’re just getting started it would be safer (and easier) to begin with 3rd position of the feet, which is not as crossed as 5th position. Best wishes -Kimberley.
I love it! Than you!
My pleasure! Kimberley
thank you!!!
My pleasure!
Do U have any more beginner ballet videos with more ballet .. Barr. Maybe Center work . Thank you so much 🌸
There is a centre and allegro video that follows on from this. You might also find the basic ballet barre video useful as well. - Kimberley.
Could you please do more of these barre ballet videos please? If you create an adult ballet beginner course and upload it on Skillshare, im willing to just purchase them.... thanks!
Hi Liz, thank you for your comment. If it helps you at all this video comes from my Ballet Class for Adults Beginner Level 3 DVD Disc Set. There are 2 more full ballet classes for beginner level on the DVDs. For more information just follow this link: www.pdedancesupplies.com/collections/tips-on-ballet-technique-dvds/products/ballet-class-for-adults-beginner-level-3-dvd-disc-set Kimberley
never seen this in heels,pls explain.
Thank you for watching my video. I am wearing ballet teaching shoes, which often have a small heel. Thank you for checking out my TH-cam channel and I hope you enjoy my videos. - Kimberley.
I think I'm actually improving at this. LOL! My legs barely hurt anymore! If you don't mind though, I would like to ask. What is the point of doing these Barre exercises and how do they help you progress in ballet? (The ballet class I went to irl did very similar exercises actually!) Do they improve foot and leg strength? Or do they help in another way? Just curious!
Great that you are beginning to feel the improvement! Practicing your ballet at the barre is a great way for you to practice repeating and refining your ballet technique. The majority of exercises that you practice at the barre can also be practiced in the centre. It is a good way to focus on practicing and improving certain steps and those skills can then be transferred into a ballet solo or perhaps repertoire for the stage. It will help to develop the strength in many parts of your body - not just your legs and feet and can help to increase your musicality and artistic understanding as well. Kimberley
I see! That's wonderful!
I would also like to ask, once I have fully mastered this video, what video/barre exercise of your's would you recommend moving on to afterwards?
You could continue your class work by moving onto the Ballet Class for Adult Beginner Centre and there is also a Basic Ballet Barre to follow along to on my channel. I do also have a Ballet Class for Adults DVD, which has 2 more full classes designed for adults at beginner level. If you really like this video then I think you will also like the other classes on the DVD too. You can find out more at www.tipsonballettechnique.com/ Thanks Kimberley
VonSmore: The point of these exercises is to learn to actually dance real ballet. The mathematics of it are long and complex, however, after mastering a complete set of barre and centre exercises (advanced, of course) you will find that, as if by magic, you will be able to dance the classical repertoire!
Great video to practice in between ballet classes. One quick question - what length of barre are you using in this video? I am going to buy a portable barre for home and unsure whether to get a 5 foot or 6 foot barre (want to make sure I have enough space to not hit the legs of the barre that stick out). Thanks!!
Hi YE Martin - the barre I am using in this video is around 6 foot. I would recommend using thebarre.co.uk if you are looking for a portable barre to use at home! I am glad that you are enjoying the video to help with your practice! Kimberley

I am 18 years old and can I start ballerina now?
Starting now will help me to become expert?
Hello, thank you for checking out my channel. Most professional ballet dancers have spent a number of years training at a full time vocational dance school from about 11 years old and then audition for professional ballet companies at around 18 years old. So in terms of training to become a professional ballerina, 18 years old is too late for most people. However, many people begin ballet as an adult and enjoy taking part in adult ballet classes for many years. - Kimberley.
