Ballet warm up exercises

Hi!
Sorry my lack of turnout, I dance besides my body´s limitations. As a Student I´m only elementary level. As a teacher, I´m graduated in Physical Education, and have 9 years of ballet practice.
I´m 34 years old. I restarted ballet 3 years ago after 9 years of absence. Now I have some students, and I try to incentive them a lot.
Please post nice comments. I love my ballet and I will never give up, doesn´t matter what some rude people could say. I love dance and I try to do my best.
This video was made after one month without classes, we were in vacation here, so I can say this is not my best shape, hahahah.
Thanks for watching!
I use this rotine with my students

You sound a lot like me :)

I took a break for three years but now I am a student and I teach.

I don't know if you want any pointers or not, if you don't then disregard it but I think you might benefit from working on keeping your hips above your heels when you plie. That should help with your turnout. Good luck and congratulations for going back to ballet :)

[dylade]

Im 13 and I want To Take up Ballet. But with economy right now my parents cant afford lessons. What should I do...?

[dylade]

Hi artprep. When I was 16 I wanted to take ballet lessons but I had no money to pay, I offer myself to work at the studio. I did the cleaning for almost one year, cleaning the classrooms, the mirrors, the toilets, anything, and after one year the owner of th studio gave me permition to take all the classes by free. You can offer yourself to help with the young kids or help in the office. All the studios need some extra help.

Good luck!

I'm a former tap dancing teacher, urrently I'm fiinishing college so I can start my own dance psychology practicf, I live in Arcata now. If you dont have the funds to take formal classes, I would suggest you do the same thing your doing now. Get online and look up the instructional ballet videos on youtube and work on your flexibility & technique through the videos, there are a lot of talented people on youtube. If you need anymore advice, let me know. I know a lot about dance. Take care.

Well one, you should watch this video and do warm ups similar to this just to stregthen your muscles and learn how to dance it. (ill be getting videos like this up soon!) Next just keep practicing. After that, find a friend who can dance ballet and have them show you some stuff. There's always college! But hey I'm doing videos to learn ballet. And follow dylade's advice- it looks good!

hope i helped and good luck!

btw Im 13 also and have taken ballet since i was 2.
