[Am3cA]

> It Is Never Too Late To Dance, As Long As You Love It, That's All You Need...!!! I Started At 18 :)

[Urik0Chian]

@Am3cA yeeaaah! =D i read on another comment saying it wass to late for a girl of 16 to learn ballet, and i said OMG!! i'm 20!!!! D'=, actually i`m in advanced begginer level =3 and i just love it, may be i won't become a super proffesional big dancer xD, but i just can't stop myself!! i'm completely agree with you! let's dance as long as you can!! =D ^^

[Am3cA]

@Urik0Chian Of Course!!! Well, I'm Studying Engineering... So I Can't Expect To Be A Famous Dancer, But U Can...!!! All U Have To Do Is Enjoy The Process... Is Beautiful!!! :)

[AndDanielaSays]

As a non-ballerina, I don't think words can describe how jealous I am of this and just those who can dance ballet in general. Beautiful.

[kikyotwosoul]

@AndDanielaSays MEEE TOOOO, no one seems to understand it either! I'm planning on taking adult baalet lessons soon >W<

[AndDanielaSays]

@kikyotwosoul I was actually thinking of doing that too! I think it would be fun. I'm so glad you understand how badly I wish I could dance! :)

[kikyotwosoul]

@AndDanielaSays The only thing, if i do get that far, is that I'm afraid that the teacher won't allow me on pointe because I am overweight. Not like extremly, just chubby.

[quasispecies]

@kikyotwosoul This ballet school I used to go to had this overweight lady dancing on pointes. I don't think weight matters. as long as you're strong enough to carry yourself. With time you'll get that strength. BTW, she was one of the advanced kids. with solos and part of the junior company. Weight is only an issue if you want to go into professional ballet....

Good luck & have fun!

[chloeeesrits]

Beautiful extension.

[lorraineweyyenn]

looks so freaking pretty! can't wait to learn this! :D

[MsServed88]

@TheKillerCub WTF!!!

[ladynoxxx]

meravigliosa!

[TwilightObsessed442]

This is the Paquita Variation, Correct?

[TheBolshoi97]

@TwilightObsessed442 Yes it's one of the Variation of Paquita ;D

[GlenHelenGHOfeeder]

AWW!! I hate you for this! Because you are just too good! I'm soooooo jealous!!

[FyreBalletDancer]

she's soo great !

[TheKillerCub]

Too fat, lose some weight you cow~!

[CvilleDancer]

@TheKillerCub I have 3 things to say to you: 1. What the hell? She's anything BUT fat! 2. That's just rude to say to anyone, even if they are fat. And 3. She is an awesome dancer, and you don't HAVE to be skinny to be awesome at dance. Chill.

[MyMyKnowles]

@TheKillerCub you're an idiot.

[PeaceUdo]

"Hoorah. -_-"

[thefrickandfrackshow]

[divaballerina98]

hoorah!! i luv that part! those r pretty italian fouettes! I tried those once and i fell flat on my face! lol it was pretty funny

[pommepome]

i'm not sure but i do call this Grande Fouette

(i did RAD)

[iluvpixystix]

@pommepome Grand fouettes are not the same as italian fouettes Grand fouettes is a flip in the air when you jump their kinda similar to tou'rre jetes

[gioland71]

@iluvpixystix Actually, after looking at the pics on Gail Grant's book, I believe these are correctly called grandes fouettés relevés en tournant - the Italian fouettés do not pass through first position... However, it might just be a terminology difference between the methods...

[Kentislandgirl]

so pretty.

[Balletbunhead1996]

beautiful have you had any professional offers

[mariahessel]

excellent job!

[vreytinydancer]

haha i love the hoora at the end!

[dominic5101]

italian fouettes are so freakinq ugly

[iloveamericangirl12]

Beautiful! I've never seen an Italian fouette before but it's really pretty!

[Loves2dance13]

BEAUTIFUL :D

[19dcp]

you are really good!!!! i miss ballet so bad!

[jacka9c]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

Does someone know how long it takes to wear toe shoes???

I started one year ago.. but in a HIGH LEVEL CLASS!(it was the only school near..) .. so im the only beginner there :/

I only try to copy what i see but,..... :/

.....

[inthemindofadancer]

most teachers go off of age, strength, and ability. you generally have to be about 11 before your muscles mature enough to go on pointe, for strength you have to work up enough muscle strength in your ankles legs and feet to get yourself up and be able to dance safely, as for ability if your still stuck doing the basics you wont have a need for pointe shoes. good luck and if you have any more questions feel free to ask :]

[idinakristinwicked]

jacka9c i would wait awhile until your sure you have the ankle strength for pointe

[breroxursox1405]

that is really really good good job

[fufuberry21]

Simply Beautiful!

[Balletdancer980]

for some reason im like the only person who can do those at my place!!!!!

[GymnasticDancer]

VERY beautiful. Keep up the good work, those were very clean and very pretty and very controlled. SO SO SO GOOD! :)

[Thenrah]

That's so cool! I wanna do that! But I suck at balancing so I can't. Still cool lookin though!

[yaaruka789]

realy good! its so cool

[jjbbrr66]

really good!  lol i love th e end part : hooray!

[Stephie204]

hmm. glad I'm not italian...hehe jk. but seriously i can't do that. ;]

[jujusworld]

is italin fouette where you stretch your leg up high, then going into putting your feet above the knee? or stretching your leg up high and going into the attitude? <- sorry im not sure if thats the correct term

[hasitbroke01]

i feel like she says raw.

haha but those were awesome. propss.

[danceforlife2014]

WOW! ur really good, where do u dance?

[b0tszzs]

that was beautiful

[jerrettervin]

I hate these things!!!!!!!

Lol Italian fouettes make me very angry inside!

[ajthemarius]

[7FridayGirl109]

[peachykeenxo100]

amazinngg balance! bravo!

[gmlch]

[MadameBONBON]

[gmlch]

thank you!

[PrincessRofl]

She's very good at them!

[livetodancex]

amazing!

[xomollydolly]

awesome (: i'm verryy jealous !

[pianopl8er]

why i hear some one saying hurra@ the end?!?

[MascaraMouse]

wow thats very impressive

[PattiBarca]

wooow, i wish i could do that...

[aknaiv1718]

her knees are not hyperextended:P

her thigh muscles are toned and when she extends they look like that!!

i know cuz mine are like that too

[danceandhorses]

I love doing these on pointe. im 5'9"

i have trouble doing three or more. i fall

[smoochandariel]

same, im 6'0

i sometimes have troubles lol :P

[kraballet24]

6'0!! dammit...im 5'1''!!

and still have trouble with my balance, haha

[Ghizzalayneee]

Why's everyone complaining, i'm so short that people can't see me, and i can't do these either

[crashedxox]

im 5'4" and i have trouble too! haha

it doesnt have anything to do with your height, its core strength.

[kraballet24]

haha i know, i was exactly trying to prove that whatever your height is you are going to be able to do them (or not)

[crashedxox]

haha its all about your training and body type :)

im learning! but i suck!

look at my vids, they are singing covers =] comment xox.

[kentish62]

i think that good co-ordination is really the key to accomplishing this. if you can relevee this many times you have sufficient strength. however you may still not be able to do this .this girl is well co-ordinated and she uses momentum and so she gets around with relative ease. she could do it even better were she to use her turnout she could then sustain each position and give the mvt. more clarity and preciscion watch it and stop frame you will see that she is often very turned in

[dancercoaster2008]

very beautiful

[jankoraven]

The lackluster "hurrah" at the end of the video is awesome. XD

[tuckitty821]

she's very strong--looks great!

[cassidymoomoo]

[MADAMEOCTA07]

[carolinesalv]

carolinesalv

I'v been practicing my italian fouettes for a few weeks now and i find it quite tricky sometimes i get it and sometimes i dont, she makes it look easy.Tips anyone.

[likelemons]

I second the hip comment-- You looked very much in control, so congrats! But the hip of the leg you are fouette-ing raises up during the kick when it should be kept down. It's the hardest thing in my opinion! Keep working on it :)

[brittballet654]

pretty good i would aim for a higher retiere if I were you just something to improve on!

[Balletgirlsroc]

very nice!

[clemshaw]

Superb body control!

When someone says golf is difficult, I point them to incredible human feats like this one; thank you for sharing what you do!
