  • who the hell taught you ballet!!!!! you shoud not be allowed on youtube. you should not be allowed to teach. you shouldnt talk like you know anything!!!!!! this is absolute crap. look at her first position. its a V. you are meant to aim for 180. that is no where near a frappe. you are wrong. my mum owns a ballet school, and her, my sister and i have spent hours pissing ourselved laughing at your stupidity. go to a ballet lesson. please, for the sake of humanity.

  • this is not a frappés!!!!! and the arms are just horrible!

  • I can't believe this video. She's not even trying to slither her foot on the floor. She's just doing pointé.

  • THIS IS POINTÉ.

  • actually in some techniques a frappe can be done from coupe instead of a flexed foot,,the problem with this chick is you cant tell if shes in coupe devant or if shes trying to wrap her foot .. her frappes arent sharp..when she goes to the side she doesnt change her coupe from front to back, so her first frappe derriere starts from coupe devant ? i can imagine if i was a beginner trying to learn from these videos id be VERY confused ..

  • doesnt a frappe start with a flexed foot? thats how i do it at my dance school. thats how we learn to brush through the floor. but i dont understand.. how can you do a frappe with a pointed foot ?! :/

  • correct me if i am wrong but i thought that you were supposed to

    start with your feet not pointed but not flexed flexed but in nuetral

    position on your ankle and then once your foot comes off your ankle

    you point your foot and strike the floor and you should end in a tendu

    not automatically going into a tendu but you just end in one i could be

    wrong
