Rond de jambe

[tappenfeat]

Her turnout is gorgeous, her hips were moving a bit too much. She needs to wear a white belt to recognize the movements of her hips, then hone on that section. Beautifully done, however.

[Kikiisawesome01]

Uhhh i want your turnout!!

[incridiblemontano]

Rond de jambe

[jinpitakki33]

every time she went through first her feet rolled in. she has nice turnout though.

[balletemmy96]

I want your turnout!

[bompy84]

Take advantage of those great conditions you hoard sweet heart... Perfect your technique by focusing on your loose hips... and make those ronde de jambe completely (specially en dedans)... Thanks for posting this video!

[deprressionmichal]

typycally american "ballet dancer" :D

[sammyy223]

her turnout looks good but she's killing her knees because her knees aren't going over her toes.

[webcamfan2569]

@sammyy223 OH SHUT UP SHES FINE!

[PSPHaxxorPlayer863]

@webcamfan2569 So suddenly you know everything about the human body? And how it reacts to this?

Fail troll who trolls on random videos is fail.

[webcamfan2569]

@PSPHaxxorPlayer863 I USED TA TAKE BALLET AND IM NOT A TROLL! MYOB BITCH!

[fjolinaa]

wow! sick turnout :O

[bandcamplover357]

its nice... but her hips shouldn't wiggle like that. turnout comes from the hip but the hip should stay still while she moves her leg

[crashedxox]

i really want her turnout...

she is really good.

[KiliniLove]

@crashedxox ya me too:(

[dancechic2997]

amazing turnouts

[brwnhoney]

its funny how just by a simple movement of the head or arms can create something beautiful

[YamisRage]

Amazing turn out. As for the comments of her legs. She is a Dancer. and that will build the muscles in them. but I see nothing wrong with them.

[chromeshadow]

shes very graceful and has good technique

[lol4eva96]

i think this is nice... im doing ballet myself (u can c my vids) but its not so nice as this...

[pattersonjk]

i used to play this well known classical song on piano when i was little but i can't remember the name! anyone know?

[b3b3t1t4]

pathetique-Beethoven

[pattersonjk]

thank you so much

[loveballet85]

è vizio comune quello di ballare anche la lambada???tieni in dentro la panza e ferma i fianchi!

[zazzolina]

ihih ma in italiano nn vale nn ti capisce nessuno! ih! :O)

[mellybelly202]

i have a relly hard time doing these when i brush back through fith espically when i do my bac k on my left leg......

[SerafinaLily9]

NOTE- when I say her abs and butt muscles aren't being used as they need to be, I am NOT, by any means, calling her fat or anything of the like. But she's doing all of the work with her feet and legs, and not using her core at all, which is at the absolute core (no pun intended) of ballet technique. Doing this is a classic sign of poor training.

[11leonalewis]

i can do that it atands 4 round the leg ?

[emma2809]

Just look at that turnout! It's amazing. How dare she. lol. Beautiful dancer. I wish i looked like that!

[fortheradio]

i think she is flawless.

and sometimes, you are required to do the rond de jambe very fast!

x

[SerafinaLily9]

I don't think the speed is a problem. Most ronds de jambe barre exercises are done slowly for the sake of being able to take time in executing the movements well, but it doesn't always have to be the case. Her technique (or lack thereof) is my problem. If you're going to put up an instructional ballet video, I personally think you should show someone who is well-trained enough to know what they're doing technique-wise.

[GaynorHater4Life]

.....shes a soloist w/ paballet. im pretty sure she knows what she is doing, and doesn't need corrections from all of you.

[SerafinaLily9]

Clearly her soloist status doesn't mean she doesn't need corrections.

The turnout and the footwork are fine, but she really needs more work in her core. She lets her lower stomach and hips relax too much, and there's too much lift in the hip. Also, the technique of the arms just held a la seconde definitely needs training and work in itself. All the same can be seen in the PBallet's tendu video.

[GaynorHater4Life]

I'd love to see what you look like dancing... If you're not a bitch in real life, you really sound like one online. Not a good thing.

[SerafinaLily9]

Look at yourself, then.

You're judging someone based simply on a paragraph of critique in response to a youtube video. A bit petty, don't you think? Just because I don't agree that she's sooo amazing omg! and instead supported my argument as to why I don't. As for wanting to see me dancing, I'm retired as of August due to a chronic overuse injury. But I spent years dancing with pro. company, spending countless hours concentrating on good technique.

And let me tell you, this video isn't it.

[ChikSewp]

We should become best friends. <3 Lmao.

[elizamtz]

ooo I looove Rond De Jambe...they look great!!

[1onpointedancer]

yeah good. just hold your stomach....to stop your hips from moving =)

[OranginaBunny]

sorry, SerafinaLily9, I think she is perfect but a little bit too fast.

[kdub10009]

too fast? she's doing the exercise the way it was designed. Obviously some of you guys have never heard of Balanchine??

[ABTBluebird]

It looks fast, but it is just because her accent is to the side.

[SerafinaLily9]

Sorry for what? Should I be offended because you disagree? It's fine with me if you think so. But after 2+ intense classes every day of proper technique being drilled into my head, I can't look at this and agree that it's "perfect".

[SerafinaLily9]

Arm too high, stomach muscles not engaged/pulled up and in enough, butt not pulled down and in enough.

[LODR4eva]

Perfect Rond De Jambe!
