this honestly isn't a very good example of a rond de jambe... balanchine or not, you do NOT roll your foot in when you're coming through first. she did that every single time she was doing a rond de jambe en dehors...
Just a note: hyper-extended dancers do NOT have to bend their knees to close. That is a false assumption. By lifting up even a dancer with lots of hyperextension can close with two perfectly straight knees. If you can stand in fifth with straight knees you can close to fifth with straight knees.
@balletomain Good thoughts! You are right, hyper-extended dancers to not have to bend the knees to close to 5th, but they will not be able to keep the same hyper-extended line as they close to 5th. Hyper-extended dancers can have "straight" knees, but they will not be all the way extended (for their body). Compensation must be made. Standing in 5th position does not necessarily mean that you can close to that same position without losing some of the extension/line of the leg/knees.
@ponderings123 shut up, u all shut up, make a video, at least she has can make a video, ure not her teach! damn it! do better i want to c ur video she's trying to halp dancers ure a loser!
i just started dancing and i was told that whatever you do to one side you should automatically learn to do it with the other side so it would really help me if you could show doing it from the left and the right :)
This is a professional dancer, a rising star with Pennsylvania Ballet who was trained at SAB, in the Balanchine technique. She is executing rond de jambes in exactly the proper way per his style; just because some of you were not trained in Balanchine technique does not mean that she is doing anything incorrectly.
@kdub10009 I agree with everything except the rising star part. We in NYC, think if anyone is a rising star in Ballet they are dancing in New York City -- the foremost ballet city in the USA.
@kdub10009 Amen! It's so annoying when high and mighty nobody's have to try and make themselves seem important by bashing someone else...one of these days these idiots will have to tell us what it's like to be perfect, must be tough to have never done a thing wrong lol
Her torso is moving alot and it makes it look messy but i think she knows that. To make up for it she's try to hold it still with her neck and it's just making her look stiff.
no you don't. most ballerinas are extremely hyperextended (rigorous training and the ballet aesthetic will do that) and it's not necessary to plie in order to close. the bend of the knee is a sign of release in the abdominal muscles which doesn't allow room for the leg to close fully straight. better engagement of the abdominals throughout will strengthen your technique and prevent back injury. best of luck!
