  • maybe you should visit one of those dance studios

  • This is the stuff that makes me so mad, wasting people's time and money teaching horrible technique and calling this "advanced" and those of us teachers with proper training get kids and parents from these studios and they think they should be in all advanced classes and can't even plié correctly. Wear proper dance attire, and take some classes and STOP TEACHING, you're ruining people's futures. Sorry for the rant this just pisses me off!!

  • so um. that's a step touch. good attempt on trying to get the damn name right of the stuff you're supposed to be teaching--which by the way, you're doing a very poor job of. just saying.

  • I've never taken a dance class in my life and that looks pretty damn easy.

  • isnt that a step touch?

  • Umm, o.k, so first of all if you are going to be a dance teacher, you need to look like one and not dress with clothes that, well to be perfectly honest, do not show you off well at all. You need to wear a leotard. If you are a dance teacher, then you really need to stop teaching and take some technique classes for yourself. You are not turned out in your supporting leg nor in your tendue. Why are you wearing Jazz sneakers? My advanced/professional students don't even wear them. 

  • @dancelvr000

    Just to clarify, all tendus brush along the floor and pointe through the feet. The only difference really from ballet to jazz, and even then there is some controversy, a lot of times in jazz you're in parallel and in ballet always turned out.

  • Ok, that would be step touch... I think she needs to go back to class and learn what a tendu is.

  • not to be mean... i have been dancing ever since i was a baby and i know specifics, im a critic. to sarenathedancer... its a jazz tendu. ur thinking of a ballet tendu. jazz tendus just touch the floor... =]

  • this is a step touch ( and horrible one) not energy and whats with that horrible shoulder action!!!!!!!!! EW STOP TEACHING DANCE!!!! Please tell me someones paying u huge bucks to do this shit, if not there's absolutely no explaination to u ruining ur life like this

  • Not a tendu, a tendu slides out working through the foot. This girl looks like someone who has taken dance recreationally for maybe 2 hours per week. Not bad for a recreational dancer, but most certainly not a teacher! Although, you should see some of the "technique on the other demonstrators...hahaha. I watch these for entertainment!
