  • 1. you need a barre because you obviously can't hold yourself in a proper position without one

    2. you don't know how to close in fifth

    3. you have no flexibility

    4. your arm is awful--you look like you're holding a purse

    5. point your toes more

    6. keep your hips and shoulders square

    7. don't sink into your working leg

    i really can't believe people pay money to take classes from you...

  • If you cannot demonstrate muscle work and positions for ballet clearly, please do not post a video - it's a serious sport that can cause serious injury if not done correctly and in the safety of a studio.

    Your effort is commendable, however.

  • @TheGymlovers1 i completely agree with you

  • aw you're so mean! she is only trying to help!

  • @BalletTapJazz exactly, it is way to harsh in here. She's just trying to help out beginners like me =)

  • Connie your an awesome teacher! Your one of my favorites on You Tube

  • @TheGymlovers1 it's not she doesn't know how to close it s just she's overweight so her legs can't touch. Anyway Expert Village should be forbidden to post anything about ballet.

  • @BalletTapJazz perhaps not but that's why we aren't posting educational ballet videos on youtube.

  • THAT IS NOT GRAND BATTEMENT EN CLOCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET YOUR TITLES RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!! And where is your posture dear? And FLOOR PRESSURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God go and take some ballet lessons your self.

  • @BalletTapJazz sure, ok. she's not that bad for someone who dances for pure recreation. and yes, I could do better.

  • Honestly, why does everyone who's ever popped on a pointe shoe think they're fit to correct the whole goddamn world. She's not THAT bad. She's a woman of a tad older age. She's not going to be perfect. I'd imagine a lot of you giving your high & holy corrections couldn't do much better.

  • @andywarholisbetter Honeyyyy, Turnout is supposed to come from the hip. Go ask your professional ballet studio instructors. (:
