If anyone is having trouble with flexability, I recommend trying pilates and yoga. I took a semester of yoga in school and it helped a lot! I learned a lot of stretches and it made me very flexable (perfect for dance). Nice video btw :)
very helpful!! thanks alot!! I've had to skip my lessons lately and I could practically feel my muscles shrinking without the stretching, so, thanks alot for this :)
im 15, can i join ballet? and what level would i start in? :) thanks i did ballet when i was little and quit i regret it soo much!! i started taking jazz and have been dancing since i was around 5
I look forward to working on these exercises. And I must agree, it's never too late to start dance. I started ballet and pointe when I was 29. I have some challenges with flexibility, but with some more persistance, I'll have the proper turn out I'm looking for.
@ekimbro08 when I started pointe I was about 180 pounds and had a hard time bending to tie my shoes. I've managed to lose a lot of that weight through the dance and being more aware of what I was eating.
Ballet really helps if you have hip dysplasia (at least I found). I used to fall over and trip all the time when my hip would pop out of place. 2-3 months of ballet and it stopped happening completely.
@reddiholic its a elastic exercise band, they sell them in dance shops or Discount Dance Supply, or sports shops. Make sure if you're just starting out to know the resistance on the bands, they come in light weight to heavy weight, heavy weight being more difficult to resist against. The ones I bought from Discount dance supply came with two, one med and one heavy weight.
@baby03102000 k wt mean wiff tat.... im mean i done ballet since i was 4 n igot a nice body n i got pretty biq boobs for my age n a nice ass n im jux 12
@baby03102000 Aggressive exercise/dietying at a young age can do that to you but some dancers are just naturally like that . In the case of gymnastics sometimes some nasty coaches can encourage young girls to take hormones that basically makes them a little boy.
Girls are actually meant to be a little chubbier in their teens, it helps them develop a more feminine physique as they get older. Out of all the sports though I would say ballet keeps women's shape the most feminine.
I have done 8 years of martial arts, I've also done ballroom dance, soccer, judo, ballet, fitness training, zumba, and theatre dance (cabaret), Out of all of this the hardest was by far ballet. It is so hard that I in fact hate it!! Running 7 miles is nothing, compared to an hour of ballet... kill me!!
@ene777 that shows you don't have the passion for it. I am 14, dance ballet since I am 3 years old and since I'm 9 on the balletacademic Amsterdam, next schoolyear my 6th year. You just can hold on when you really want it, and when it goes like 80% of the day through your head. otherwise you'll break. you need to live for your dance, so when you're still dancing ballet and you don't enjoy, stop!
Thank you for sharing these exercises. My 6 year old is taking ballet and these are things that she can work up to. No way is ballet easy but it is amazing!!!
ballet is so not easy , people that thinks ballet is easy well their stupid , If they think it's easy well i wanna see them making video they doing ballet and tell if it's easy or not?
Thank you very much for this video I started with ballet one year ago. I am creating my home exercise program because I am not strong enough. Thanks a lot and keep on dancing :-) Anyway I am 25 but there is never too late for dance, I think :-)
Okay, I think you can't learn ballet alone at home BUT there are exercises, what you can do at home, make your body stronger, make your balance better. These exercises are good, when you learn ballet with a ballet teacher, and you want to make a little practice at home, but you have no idea.
I'm fat and not flexible. I also stink at ballet. It is so hard, but it's fun and I want to be better. Thank you so much for this video. I'm sure my flexibility will improve in no time.
@shollo12 hello how old are you. I'm 13 and a dancer, i hate when people say in order to be good at dancing you must start at age 2 or 3, thats not true 2 of my friends started last year and are showing amazing progress. Stay strong in your ballet class xx Madisynn
@Mad4MileyCyrus Hello there little lady. I am 22 years old..yeah..I know. I have noticed a difference already (week or 2 before class began I started trying to learn the splits and I'm sure I'm getting nearer). It's pretty uncomfortable sometimes but I'm not going to push it as I don't want an injury! I'm also taking BodyBalance classes which include pilates and yoga. However I'm really clumpsy & on a medication with can mess with my balance & concentration. Thanks for your encouragement! xxx
@0Massiekurr0 I am 23 now. Its a little disheartening seeing comments from people going "Hi, Im 13 and I can only do this this this and this, help!!!" I did it a little when I was like, 4-5 but my teacher was an evil boot so I quit and its only recently I've become interested again. I say just go for it, everybody is different :)
These excersises are great. I can seriously feel them working. I'm gonna try do these every day so I can get flexible and strong. But yeah, your videos are uber helpful. Thanks! :)
Im just starting ballet I am very excited but i don't start until school begins my teacher told me to stay in shape and stretch every day I know how to do normal stretches for sports,I thought that ballet would be different so I asked & my teacher said that in ballet you stretch different areas and the same and that looking up special stretches for ballet and combinding them with the ones I know is a great way to get started so this helped alot on stretching my legs.This helped alot thanks!!!!!
i did ballet when i was three , and my mom made me stop when i turned about 9 or 10 because she didnt like my teacher /:
im 12 amost 13 , and thouergh the years so far iive done gymnastics for a year and soccer for 5 years , and i ' m ready to get back in ballet , im so exicted .
I am 15 and regret not doing ballet when I was younger because I want more than anything to be able to do point ballet but apparently you have to do years of ballet (not on pointe) beforehand!! GRRRRRRR FML and apparently 15 is the latest you should start doing pointe but i get all my info from google lol please someone reply and be inspirational or the opposite!!
@MrsSimLuva Hey! It does take years and years of training before you can go on pointe, but I get to go on pointe this year and I am soooooooo excited!!! But, if you keep working, get your flexibility, strength, and point up, you can do it!
@MrsSimLuva Heey, i'm now 15, have done ballet for 5 years but have stopped for about 5 years (which i great alot for stopping) Now i really want to continue finishing my RAD grades so i have been ringing different ballet classes up, one said i was too old (whatever) but others said yeahh come along! I dont think you should give up! BELIEVE IN YOUSELF! to begin with, some of my family were like ohh you are too old now and blah blah blah but heeyy i'm gonna try my best to carry on
@MrsSimLuva It isn't too late. Although I took ballet when I was about 4, I didn't REALLY start until I was 15. I trained for a year and my teacher felt I was ready to go on pointe. Usually, you have to train for a few years, but it's possible if you work really hard. Also, just for credibility's sake, she was a professional from ABT, so she did know what she was talking about when she put me on pointe. So it's definitely possible, you just need to be willing to work extremely hard!
I'm 23 now and getting ready to begin ballet classes in August...I find some of these stretching and beginners videos helpful...they are getting me ready for what lies ahead...I admit, before doing more research on beginning ballet I was a bit skeptical that I would ever be any good...my cousin, whose been dancing for years, is a dancer and she practically laughed in my face when I stated I wanted to learn ballet...
@LuvlyUnknown Power to you! I'm 19 and feeling like a granny trying to start. But I believe that as long as your is in it, you have every right in the world start dancing!
Just reading the comments, you're never too old to start ballet! I'm 23 and just did my grade 3 ballet exam! Just lots of work and practise and don't let the younger ones make you feel like you're no good! :)
These videos are so helpful! I am starting ballet at a much older age and I am tyring to catch up on technique as quickly as possible, these exercises are so useful so thanks! I have to ask though - how do you the spell the name of the elastic thing you are using for resistance? I want to e-bay it!
@grb3ballerinas Yeah or when someone says "what are you supposed to be a ballerina?" and then they put there hands in an O above their head and tip toe around in a circle... Oh i hate that! I want to slap them!
I really want to try these exercises to get limber to get strong and get a beautiful dancers body. I really am willing to try and am so grateful for all these great videos! beautiful!
@fireshadow1328 your saying ballets stupid but i bet youv'e never even been to a class. im only 12 and i have been dancing since i was three, ballet is not stupid its painful... its hard work... and its beautiful so stop being insulting!!!!
@Thefayelily i'm not saying that ballet is stupid. i'm saying that the person who said that ballet is stupid is the stupid one. i enjoy ballet. a lot. and going on pointe IS painful... bleeding
@picture745 people like you piss me off. ever seen the workouts some of these girls and boys do? ever witnessed the stress, the pain, the total strain of it all, making every point of your toes perfect?! its not easy man! I'm not that great at it yet, but its no fun and games. lets see you survive a dance clas for a day! see how far that gets you, since you know so much about how 'stupid' dance is, smarty smarticle. >:(
@wherestheskyx i have only 1 coumputer and i have to share so my sis gets on youtube and i love ballet i am going to goin so ya and she hates i do stretches every day so i am sorry if my sis did afend anyone plz message me i will explain everything and i am so sorry and plus i am only 10
@Yuffie3982 If you believe in WASP influence or anything like that today, you're straight up ignoring the facts; there has been a very considerable prejudice and movement against "white" America in this country. Maybe we don't all want to be grouped in with the Jewish architects of war like Perle, Frum, Wolfowitz, and Feith (who stand for nothing other than Zionism/Israeli dominance). Maybe I'm Finnish and feel like A FEW delineations deserve to be made. I hear you though. People ARE people.
@Yuffie3982 Yes they are on everyday DVDs & for many people not only are they NOT helpful but dangerous! Sadly too often people people DO NOT recognize when they are "overextending themselves" & this society still has the mentality of "No Pain, No Gain" which is a HUGE misconception! There is a HUGE difference between Pain and Discomfort & too many people DON'T know the difference!

There is a HUGE difference between Pain and Discomfort & too many people DON'T know the difference!
@Yuffie3982 Yes, from a Eurocentric perspective (no such thing as "Eurocentric" look) as well as common Eastern and Middle-Eastern perspectives; and if anything, American media does the opposite of promote Eurocentric ideals; if you look at any other country, like Taiwan, India, Mexico, or Brazil, it's always the most charismatic and attractive people who represent the cultural schemas in media; in America, it's all about connections, background, and rarely the intangibles/quality of the actor.
@Yuffie3982 Women who are conventionally attractive in the way these two are are simply much more common in some places than others. I'd call them below average for my area, even though I find them attractive. Even geographically proximate cities can exhibit very different frequencies of certain attractive traits. For example, the mostly Jewish yet deemed "WASP-y" areas tend to have a very small selection of both attractive males and females. These two are quite far from WASP-y, for the record.
this can be VERY dangerous if you don't know what you're feeling for... or actually doing! Mimicking movement is NOT a way to learn how to move, dance or anything else!

Also, just for credibility's sake, she was a professional from ABT, so she did know what she was talking about when she put me on pointe. So it's definitely possible, you just need to be willing to work extremely hard!

I'm 23 now and getting ready to begin ballet classes in August...I find some of these stretching and beginners videos helpful...they are getting me ready for what lies ahead...I admit, before doing more research on beginning ballet I was a bit skeptical that I would ever be any good...my cousin, whose been dancing for years, is a dancer and she practically laughed in my face when I stated I wanted to learn ballet...

Just reading the comments, you're never too old to start ballet! I'm 23 and just did my grade 3 ballet exam! Just lots of work and practise and don't let the younger ones make you feel like you're no good! :)

@Yuffie3982 If you believe in WASP influence or anything like that today, you're straight up ignoring the facts; there has been a very considerable prejudice and movement against "white" America in this country. Maybe we don't all want to be grouped in with the Jewish architects of war like Perle, Frum, Wolfowitz, and Feith (who stand for nothing other than Zionism/Israeli dominance). Maybe I'm Finnish and feel like A FEW delineations deserve to be made. I hear you though. People ARE people.

@Yuffie3982 Yes they are on everyday DVDs & for many people not only are they NOT helpful but dangerous! Sadly too often people people DO NOT recognize when they are "overextending themselves" & this society still has the mentality of "No Pain, No Gain" which is a HUGE misconception! There is a HUGE difference between Pain and Discomfort & too many people DON'T know the difference!

@Yuffie3982 Yes, from a Eurocentric perspective (no such thing as "Eurocentric" look) as well as common Eastern and Middle-Eastern perspectives; and if anything, American media does the opposite of promote Eurocentric ideals; if you look at any other country, like Taiwan, India, Mexico, or Brazil, it's always the most charismatic and attractive people who represent the cultural schemas in media; in America, it's all about connections, background, and rarely the intangibles/quality of the actor.

@Yuffie3982 Women who are conventionally attractive in the way these two are are simply much more common in some places than others. I'd call them below average for my area, even though I find them attractive. Even geographically proximate cities can exhibit very different frequencies of certain attractive traits. For example, the mostly Jewish yet deemed "WASP-y" areas tend to have a very small selection of both attractive males and females. These two are quite far from WASP-y, for the record.

this can be VERY dangerous if you don't know what you're feeling for... or actually doing! Mimicking movement is NOT a way to learn how to move, dance or anything else!
