RAD Intermediate - Intermediate Dance (HD)

[larellala]

You are amazing!

[thefourandonly1]

Hey, pretty good :) Concentrate on turning out during the transition steps :)

[raquelyeo]

@thefourandonly1 Thanks a lot! I'll take note of your pointer :)

[SarahForeverTT]

This was wonderful..x Yeah, sure.. all us ballet dancers reckon we're the best and we've all been trained by the best but it would take some to try and deny that this was brilliant. You even made the requirement to dance that dance in pointe look like no bother. I'm Grade 6 but man I wish I could dance like you!

[raquelyeo]

@SarahForeverTT Thanks a lot! I wasn't dancing en pointe. I was just wearing a pair of soft pointe shoes :) You can do it babe. I love Grade 6 so much!

[raquelyeo]

@GeorgiaStopmotions Thank you darling. You've made my day :)

[caasuser]

good but work your turn out !

[raquelyeo]

@caasuser Thanks! I've been working hard on my turnout. It's so tough!

[vickyaxxxxxx]

good but you need to get UP onto your demi pointeand extend your legs and feet more

[raquelyeo]

@vickyaxxxxxx Sure, I'll work on them! Could you tell me what you mean by "get up onto your demi pointe"?

[vickyaxxxxxx]

@raquelyeo yeah, i mean get more over your toes, like you would en pointe but obviously without being on your toes, don't get me wrong though you're a really good dancer :)

[4willsey4]

good pas de chas! (hope i spelt it right) Really good

[raquelyeo]

@4willsey4 Thank you! It's spelt as pas de chat :)

[NikkiGarcia14]

whats the point of wearing pointe shoes if shes not going to use them?

[raquelyeo]

@NikkiGarcia14 I'm wearing a pair of soft pointe shoes, which is required for vocational graded exams. I cannot go on pointe with soft pointe shoes. There's a difference between soft pointe and hard pointe shoes.

[FrankieRoute]

@NikkiGarcia14 I agree it's not a requirement for me and it just makes it look a little bit sloppy :/ it's a big shame because you have nice poise and arm extension, just point your toes a bit more gal!

[raquelyeo]

@FrankieRoute Thank you! I shall sharpen my toes :)

[FrankieRoute]

@raquelyeo If you do it'll look gorgeous! x

[MisterSareZ]

i like it n.n but exted your legs plz ! is all i can say!

[raquelyeo]

@MisterSareZ Thanks for your comment! I'll work on it.

[todanceinheaven]

Terrible....does not extend leg or FOOT between chase arabesqque, her lack of correct footwork makes it a pass, thank goodness I was trained by the best Cecchetti teacher in Aust.......pointe shoes making noise, takr out the cardboard or smash them till soft.....

[raquelyeo]

@todanceinheaven Why, you sound rather cocky to me. Hahaha.

[flutterfeet]

@todanceinheaven Didn't your mother tell you if you have nothing nice to say don't say it all? Also Cecchetti is a different method than this, this girl is doing RAD. While there were some minor mistakes she did awesome and I highly doubt you could do this dance much better. Why don't you learn it and post a video of yourself dancing it? Don't hide behind the anonymity that comes with the internet! : )

[raquelyeo]

@flutterfeet Thank you dear :)

[ballarinoula95]

@todanceinheaven

Shut the hell up, the girl's doing Rad not Checcetti... -.- And if you ask me, I think she's great.

And stop bragging ("I was trained by the best Checcetti teacher and blah blah")!!!

[raquelyeo]

@ballarinoula95 Thank you dear :)

[Evanescence9582]

Point your toes!

[raquelyeo]

@Evanescence9582 Yes I will! Thanks for your comment :)

[KennyPooBear]

why are you wearing pointe shoes if ther eis no pointe work in the dance?

[raquelyeo]

@KennyPooBear I'm wearing a pair of soft pointe shoes, which is required for vocational graded exams. I cannot go on pointe with soft pointe shoes. There's a difference between soft pointe and hard pointe shoes.

[lilyanhp]

im doing this grade but is a new version of all they change the exercises :S

[raquelyeo]

@lilyanhp Oh yes. I heard they changed the vocational graded syllabus and it's going to take effect in 2013 or something. How's the syllabus like?

[balletgirl1929]

@raquelyeo hey, you're great!! i'm doing this exam this year, but i'm doing the new curriculum also. i was just wondering if you knew if this dance has been change for the new syllabus or not?? like is it the same?? cuz this is rlly pretty. and also, do you have to wear pointe shoes in it for the exam, or are you just wearing your demis??? thx!!

[raquelyeo]

@balletgirl1929 Hi babe! Thank you so much for your compliment. You've made my day :)

Are you doing the new syllabus for exam this year? I doubt this dance will still be in the syllabus because I heard that scraped everything and replaced with new dances. According to my teacher, she mentioned that the dances have contemporary flavour to it. So they are more "dancy" and "flowy". I agree that this dance is really pretty.

Yes, there's pointe work for Intermediate (unfortunately).

[balletgirl1929]

@raquelyeo yeah, my teacher says that the syllabus was more dancy also!! more like Ballet 6, she said. and thx for the answers!! ur a rlly good dancer!

[lilyanhp]

@raquelyeo well actually the grade change im doing right now and it has new variations and exercices are a little bit complicated but they are good i like this grade and forgive my english i dont know alot

[raquelyeo]

@lilyanhp That sounds cool. I think I should go back to Intermediate again after I'm done with Advanced 2. Hahaha!

[lilyanhp]

@raquelyeo yes its great i really love this grade all the exercises change but is beautiful yo have already finish the mayer grades? wow good luck :D

[raquelyeo]

@lilyanhp I just finished my Advanced 1 exam this morning. I'm going to work on my Advanced 2 now. Thanks and good luck to you too :)

[zebra24000]

1. always, always, ALWAYS turn out. especially in your runs. that needs a lot of work.

2. you're arms are a little stiff. soften up! relax!:)

3. NEVER EVER FORGET TO POINTE YOUR FEET! during all of your turns and most of your jumps they're almost flexed:S

[raquelyeo]

@zebra24000 Thanks! I'll work hard on those pointers :)

[msamymcentee]

hi just wondering if ANYONE has found the BRAND NEW female intermediate study or music on youtube?! It's the one with the harp in the music? if anyone could @reply on here or on twitter(@amymcentee) that would be amazing!!! Thanks xxx

[raquelyeo]

@neonjellyfish14 Unfortunately I don't! Sorry babe.

[mac101irl]

very nice! if you just work your feet a bit more and get used to dancing in soft pointe shoes and pointe shoes you'll be a gorgous dancer!!

[raquelyeo]

@mac101irl Thank you! Yes, I'm definitely working A LOT on my feet and arch :)

[palomaherrera]

En dehore pleas!! :)

[raquelyeo]

@palomaherrera What about en dehor? :)

[SBRJulia]

@raquelyeo be careful of it

[msbutterflywings12]

WOOW! THAT WAS GREAT! how old did you start ballet?

[raquelyeo]

@msbutterflywings12 Thank you so much for the compliment! I started ballet at 6. I'm not that good. I could be better if I were doing ballet full-time :(

[msbutterflywings12]

@raquelyeo Well you certainly seem like you have been putting great effort in it! Im starting tomorrow.. in intermediate class, but im thirteen .. Do you have any idea how old the girls are going to be?

[raquelyeo]

@msbutterflywings12 Hard work paid off! I was around 17 when I did Intermediate. My classmates' ages were +1/-1 year of mine. Good luck for class!

[msbutterflywings12]

@raquelyeo Thanks! I had a great time in the class.. I'll work very hard on it.. You're my idol (:

[raquelyeo]

@msbutterflywings12 Aww. Don't flatter me! You can do it babe :)

[msbutterflywings12]

@raquelyeo Hi (: what is that movement called on 0:24 - 28

[raquelyeo]

@msbutterflywings12 Pas de chat (pa-duh-sha).

[xoxlizausxox]

It;s really good you have really improved since your Grade 8! nice how was your marking? Distinction I bet :)

[raquelyeo]

@xoxlizausxox Thanks dear! You've made my day. I've been working really hard ever since. Yes, I got a distinction for Intermediate :)

[raevt]

You dance really well!

[raquelyeo]

@raevt Thank you so much. It's really encouraging to hear that!

[JumpJumpJumpJumpJump]

how did your exam go? :)

[raquelyeo]

@JumpJumpJumpJumpJump It went well! I got a distinction :)

[JumpJumpJumpJumpJump]

@raquelyeo super!!! I'm doing the exam this year and am still terribly out of breath after those last 4 pose' turns :(

[raquelyeo]

@JumpJumpJumpJumpJump Thanks! Yeah, it's always at the very last part of the dance that you'll struggle to complete it because you're so exhausted!

[KamilleM91]

You did a really good job I think, when do you have your exam?

I just noticed some little things:

Try to stretch your legs in your pas de bourré, 0:25-0:28 and 0:33.

0:42, try to bring your leg behind you, it's to much de coté. Piqués turns with pointed feet, but I know it's hard in broken points.

Have fun and good éuck for your exam!

[raquelyeo]

@KamilleM91 Thanks! I took this exam about 2 years ago. I'll take note of those pointers :)
