Anaheim Ballet: How To Balance Like A Ballerina

[rorofromhethersett]

I do ballet and I have like the WORST balance in history!!! Lol :)

[alirocks19]

3:16 lol is he a dancer or lik one of the dancers kids?!

[Msballetdiva]

these videos are great they make me want to try and do my best in ballet class

[ondinedancer]

i had a horrible week with no balance at all and zero prouettes but your videos allways cheer me up. tnx a lot Anaheim ballet

[belauyong]

this is done so lightheartedly it got me laughing out loud while learning a thing or two

[enpointe93]

all the things he said were correct, however this video was boring.

[nanushka]

these vids are amazing, this is all the point with dancing: improve your technique by enjoying it. I'm sick of all those "i'm-so-serious-i'm-a-perfect-­dancer-and-you're-not" videos. The best way to learn is by enjoying it and having self confidence.

[geckoarmy8]

Awesome video-thank you soo much! I've always had trouble balancing; I put too much power into everything and go too far forward without pulling up. I love all these 'Tips' videos, it's really cool to learn from dancers like these.

[CookieSheet314]

This is so great. I'm sure people will greatly appreciate your episodes. Wish I had youtube growing up

[freebabydolldancer]

haha! :)

[pattersonjk]

andrew is adorable

[Imika1]

although i dont really need help with my balancing lol

[Imika1]

please please YOU HAVE TO HELP ME LEARN TO JUMP!!!!!! i cannot get off the floor

[michellelaims]

maybe i should try doing this...i'm gonna go on pointes soon and i'm not so good at doing pirouttes so tks

[person647]

I often have trouble balancing - I tend to have my weight too far back and don't use tight legs enough, but I also have astigmatism, which makes it hard to spot, especially on travelling turns. Was just wondering if it would also make a difference in other excercises and if anyone has tips for getting round astigmatism as a balance/spotting problem...

[shalom93danseuse]

thx a load! This is really helping! I do ballet but my technique is not the best cuz of my balancing skills:( But this does help! THXXX!!!!!! :D

[klbutterbaby]

I have been needing to work on my balance (says my teacher). Thank-you for the tips!

[martaxandra]

Hello! Thanks for the videos. I wanna ask you if you can put here some important points to take on the piroettes moves...? thankx

[worldforsaker]

Thanks so much! I've just been trying the balancing tips and they really help!

[CassiePinkPearl]

hmmmm this might be good tips *Starts trying it* im doing it im doing it ^_^ *loses her balance* uh oh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! * falls on the floor* ouch! im ok

[kfcheenuth]

i do ballet and we also learn these things, but to see ballerinas doing it so good is amazing, im only 11 but when i grow up i want to be just like them (with perfect ballence).

[LifeResort]

sadly..i still don't understand the micro adjustment and the other one. I only understand the rectangle/square one :(

[ruffhouzer]

Wow that was a really helpful vid.

Thanks guys

[welcometothejungle21]

wow..the pulling down to go up really helped me!! thanks so much Anaheim Ballet!

[Krissyrocks92]

hi guys. i'm in ballet and i need some help with my balance sometimes. so i think this will really help

[afnan1028]

Thanks!!! :) I was looking for something like this. :D

[BalletAnnie]

Balancing is very important for a ballet dancer.

[Belx2]

Look at the focus! LOL!

[2emochicks]

i have problems with balancing and i think this really helped. it told me some stuff i hadn't thought about. good advice!

[randomdomo]

i learned something..

like really

[ukyotarus]

just great

[ballerinagirl76]

they missed sumthing: if u have a strong center, u can balance really well. do situps every day and night. it really makes a difference. pull ur stomache in, concentrate on one thing, and do the "pull down to go up" technique. u can find ur balance is a lot better.

[usa8056]

ABSOULUTELY!!!

I am really glad you mentioned this. A strong core is 90% of the way. If you are looking to have a killer walk, balance or has good posture. This is majority a strong core. The other Ten percent is the mental want to improve balance.

[classicalgal14]

These vidoes are realing helpful:)

[snapeisinnocent123]

yeah^^

guys you're soooooo funny =)

[citruzzlove]

The balance zone

[Dominique6525]

i know this is really random but this video wason my birthday! october 6! yay.

[conejamusical]

i've been dancing (modern and contemporary) for two years now, and i still have problems with pirouettes (wrong spelled, i know) and making balance in pasé.. i tried the "pull dowun to go up" thing but it doesn't seam to work.. my hips and my shoulders are alined.. what could be wrong with me??

[abcdancergirl2224]

u might not be using your core.(which is abs) instead of just pulling your stomache in, try pulling your abs up and tightening your butt muscles.(i know, lol) but it will really help. soon enough u will be whipping off three or four piroettes in no time!( reply back if u need any more help. and u didnt spell piroette wrong! :) )

[copaculgica]

i like anaheim ballet...

[xXRhythmDanceLaughXx]

wow! the whole push down your hips stuff, not what i thought...& it totally helps!

[ballerine018]

I like this video!! Thanks, Anaheim Ballet!!

[ssHollyShort]

Thank you Anaheim Ballet! I have trouble balancing (especially in arabesque/attitude).

Thank you again!!! :D

[GothicAngelX3393]

This was great because I fail epically at balancing. I think I'm vertically challenged, haha.

I've actually been able to balance a bit better using those exercises. Thanks!!

[jazzbreaker2991]

you guys are great!!!!!

this really helped me a lot because i'm studying ballet independently. ^^

[nieborsky]

Haha, this video definitely reminds me of my ballet teacher. "Keep your hips square and front!" Oh boy...

Andrew! I hope you're doing well and don't miss us too terribly much back here in Podunk land ;)

[kellsterxoxo]

haha "the balance zone" !

[citruzzlove]

[youngjud]

i never would have guessed how important balance is....i krump and balance is key...this video looks like it will offer great help

[superdancer24]

If you are doing any kind of spins on flats go on the balls of your feet. If u r on pointe make sure your hips r inline and ur shoulders and hips are also inline.

[elinevdh]

I have a question: I'm a dancer on points and we have a show at the end of this year. I need to perform on stage a solo with a breakdancer. But I'm the one who's wearing pointes. I need to make 5 pirouettes, but the hardest part for me is to start this. I'm afraid I twinkle my foot or something like that, when I go on my points and do this. Any tips?

[maddymooo]

Ask your Dance teacher about a good preperation.

A good prep. is the key.

Also practice a billion times.

You'll be fine. :)

Good luck!

[bralen24]

Ummmmm....could the guys wear tights next time....LOL!! seriously though, whats with the baggy clothes...LOL!!

[quodmenutrit]

[janeygirl14]

[balletfreak590]
