i am not a professional dancer....iam at 3th grade but i can find about thousend things that this girl is doing wrong! maybe it is for begginers,but i am sure that they are not idiots!well i wasnt...

None of these videos seem proffesional. I know I only did ballet from about the age of 10 to 13 but surely, this can't be any good?

The teacher doesn't look enthusiastic at all. She could at least stand up straight.

No offence on the dancer too, she's a bit heavy :/

I blame that woman though! Doesn't look like she'd be a very ellegant dancer at all, to me.

Teachers should set an example...

Made for *beginners*. It doesn't matter what the teachers looks like, only just how she is teaching. The student is trying hard, but still learning herself; keep that in mind. People, have at least some consideration and manners when commenting. Show some respect! BTW the word pronounation are mostly fine, it is just misspelled.

This teacher is appalling! If the catastrophically bad pronunciation of echappe wasn't enough, her student's technique is not right, and yet she is praising her! My teacher would have my head if my posture were so sloppy. Her arms are terribly stiff and incorrectly placed... Oh mon Dieu!

[lapiastrascotta]

Her echappes is really wrong.

these videos are teribal 

[m3XiPiNaa]

she looks like a constipated monkey .....



[DartPowa]

perche ? perche infangare il nome della danza classica in questo modo !...........

[djyotta]

@Hybrid587 her pronunciation isn't that bad. it's supposed to be "eesh-app-ay".

it's not normal to hold a skirt. arms in second is best - or bras bas like how she does.

[kitcurrent19]

nicely demonstrated....thank you so much. :)

[JustMe41ce]

ballet dancers are swans not elephants (comment on the noise she makes when she lands...)

@Lovebites2014 Well you never know because young girls who develop quickly may show signs of shrinking aroun 16-17 also if u are too busty the weight (haha) can distort your everyday posture making it harder on you, wear a bra with a litte extra support
