Dear Ms Shoemaker. I respectfully suggest that for future videos you script out what you need to communicate to the viewer, and narrate it in voice-over over the video of you performing the action. I have watched several of your videos now, and while they have all been very helpful, I can't help but notice that you sometimes struggle to find the words you want when you are demonstrating something. I think you would find the voice-over approach to be much more comfortable and effective.
how to slim down the legs? why is the legs looks like a rock. :( I'm trying to make it look long legs and slim but how! :( I'm in a hurry before recital!
I was wondering if it is good for ballerinas to try trap. muscle exercises other ways, like with dumbbells. Is that okay? Does it bring about the same results? Thanks! =)
Hi! - Yes, you can certainly use a lightweight dumbbell for upper body work. Just avoid anything that is going to create mass / bulk. In other words, keep your weights lighter and use more reps.
Thank you so much for the push-ups especially!! Your actual example of it up close made it so much more clear and effective, and easy for me! It was fun and challenging, and it took tons of tension out of my neck because I was actually using my abdominals. I now know how to really do it and it wasn't really painful! =D
Do you make shoe's ? -_-

The pushups portion was especialt effective for me because gym teachers never do a very good job teaching girls how to do a legit pushup (...)
