  • YUK!

    I hate 'Expert Village'

    They're NOT experts!

  • @oknajsasuke yes BUT you can't or shouldn't open your first position more than your turnout allows you. So maybe this girl hasn't a big turnout yet and therefore the teacher doesn't push her first position open. However, YES, there are many technique mistakes in her position and if she keeps doing barre like that, she'll never get a turn out.

  • ALL OF YOU NEED TO SHUT UP. WHY WATCH IF U CRITICIZE. I HAVE MY DANCE MIDTERMS COMING UP ANDI FORGOTHOW TO DO THIS AND IT HELPED ME, TO GE TMY MEMORY BACK. NO ONE GIVES A DAMN IF YOUR BETTER OR NOT. YOU NEEDED HELP AND THAT'S WHY YOU WATCHED THIS AM I NOT RIGHT? IF YOU COULD DO ANY BETTER YOU WOULDN'T BE WATCHING THIS. IF YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER GO HAVE THE NERVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN VIDEOS, AND NOT WASTE YOUR TIME CRITICIZING OTHER PEOPLE'S VIDEOS.

    GET A LIFE.

  • If you can do better, why are you watching this?

  • her hands oh my goodness.

  • she rolls when she does her degages

  • U AINT NO DAMN EXPERT! GET OFF THE FUCKIN SCREEN! I BEEN DANCING ALL MY LIFE AND U CUM UP WITH THIS SHIGGITY! THE NERVE OF SUM MICKEY FIKIES

  • Why is it that Americans always pronounce the names of the moves in such an ugly way?

    I know no one is forcing me to watch, but why did she choose that girl to demonstrate for her? It's a poor advertisement for the school. It's a bit of a mockery, all in all.

  • I died a little inside watching this

  • This is unreal! All of ballet is based on turnout and core strength. No turnout and even holding onto the bar she looks like she is an earthquake zone.

    This is not good adverizement and is terrible ballet, if you could call it ballet at all.
