the dancer needs to wear a leotard and tights so we can see her feet, ankles, and leg positions.

I think that if you r going to upload a video...professional or bigginer...and your idea is the help people it's sopussed to be a good thing...for u to learn it well...because if u learn something in the wrong way is gonna be really hard to correct it!!

thanks expert village i take ballet classes but sometimes i cannot manage these movements/steps/positions properly now thanks to you i can

I kept wishing I could push her thumbs in or unstiffen her arms up a bit and man, is it irritating when you can't actually see her body movement because her clothes are so baggy :/

and her teacher keeps saying that it was beautiful but it was rather horrible

[redlight5551]

horrible technique she really needs to work out but its not even her fault its her teschers

[fivehundredfootlong]

TERRIBLE TURN OUT!!! SHE IS STEPPING SLIGHTLY FORWARD WHICH IS allowing her to rest on her hip rather than to work the glutes to hold the turn out. Hence the bad turn out.. Poor girl is probably paying hard money to not be pushed.

Alright... now that I have read dozens of you bashing this video and complaining that it is incorrect, I would love it if you would at least post an example of what IS correct. o_O I am starting classes at a local academy in a month and was trying to become acclimated to basic movements and positions beforehand.

Apparently this is not the video from which to learn, but none of you are pointing in any other direction... so... Please, point me in a general direction of correctness? o.O

The pupil is an unmade bed and the teacher is a train wreck. Emily Brontë's corpse has more allure than this pair.

@yognify Well, their best isn't good enough. I mean, I'd hate to see their video "Brain surgery for Beginners." That's all!
