[feeaarlesss]

great video! :) but it froze :( could you please do another video like this one?

[Ggina11]

This has helped me with my basic understanding!! But it would be a lot more constructive if you showed the movement as well.

[DevilGrrrrl500]

Ok first of all, you seriously need to work on your pronounciation for some words, because I didn't even know what u meant when u said en lair, because btw, lair is pronounced as one word! Same with grand( more accent on the a) a la second ( pronounced secon, not second)!

[ronaldoluva]

@DevilGrrrrl500 it's actually en l'air and grand à la seconde

[DevilGrrrrl500]

@fionajaqueline same!!

[FionaJacqueline]

is it just my computer or does this video freeze at 3:06 until the end? :S

[dancinggymnast98]

@FionaJacqueline mine does that too!

[Tmoviegurl]

@FionaJacqueline it happened to me too

[isabelN12]

@FionaJacqueline Maybe that's why it loaded so quickly. -_-

[Emmzieroxz123]

@FionaJacqueline MINE DOES THAT TOO

[MsTheLeesha]

yeah i agree with purplexpolarbear..... :P

but nice video thanks!

[gogreen663]

thanks sooooo much. i just moved and i had to transfer to a new studio and my new teacher only uses this type of terminology and i didn't know all of it... until i saw this video :] thank you for posting!

[Laegaire]

very helpful.

[chrisLUVSlos]

thanks for the vid but if you could throw in the word on the screen i think that would be alot better for the visual learners like me!!!!! :)

[ickyvic]

this is a really good video! it really helped me! thanx so much!

[ellogirl1]

i forgot what is the moved called where you switch for feet in 5th position, its a jump??

[blackmonroe123]

changemont

[tamemeifyoucan]

ive heard en dedans (spell?) used before what does that mean!?

[Smitinkittin1533]

its when you are doing a ron de jambe starting from the back then towards the side then to the front =-) on de or is going from the front to the side to the back

[thesassycynic]

It *means* "inside" and en dehors is "outside". But yes, usually those two terms are for the two directions of ron de jambe.

[purplexpolarbear]

the sound stopped and so did u like 3 minutes in right after the grande plie...so ya if u ever repost this tet us knoww =] haha...im gonna subscribe yay

[dancingmachine01]

i'm actually a popper and i got a nationals competition in a few weeks and i really need to learn the basics of ballet and tap, so i'm subscribing to u. there's a lot i need to know, so thank you for helping : )

[rickycardo3]

you're very striking-looking.

And this was pretty helpful.

[AmberMade]

is striking looking a good or bad thing?

and glad i helped =]

[rickycardo3]

goooood.

[justineclarissa]

@AmberMade probably pretty, because you're really pretty! (i'm a girl, so no homo.)

[gwill1992]

thanx i was just wondering about thoes meaning cuz my coach can't speak english so yeah it's a little bit hard

[mariekitu]

Hey, thanks this was helpful, even though I'm French it's not always obvious what things are just from their names.

Video stopped playing properly for me at 3:04 though :(, so probably missed the most difficult stuff, but anyway I just wanted to say Technokittin is right, and also that "seconde" is, for some reason, pronounced "seGonde". With a "g" sound as in "guitar".

In most latin languages it's actually spelt with a"g", but in France we don't like when it's all too easy... lol ^^

[ahnREECHAHvessDA3rd]

I had the same problem too! At least the video continues at 7:03! Exactly when it says "Thanks For Watching" with Lady Gaga playing in the background.

[mariekitu]

Yeah it actually did that for me too.

It's a shame, I have a feeling it stopped when it was getting REALLY interesting, but well....

If you ever RE-post the video, please let us know !! =)

[ahnREECHAHvessDA3rd]

Good Video! It helped me on my vocabulary midterm i had for ballet.

[TechnoKittin]

your pronunciation is adorable! do you do french?! it's pronounced like 'on lair', not 'on lee-air' :) cute! :)

[cammy1294]

Great Video! Thanks for making this. My teacher teaches us the basic words but not direction like en devant, etc..

[AmberMade]

thanks so much! xoxo

[Italianfouette]

wow! this is a great video! thanks for taking the time to make a video like this! very good, and great pronunciation!
