remember in arabesque to keep your hips square your opening up a bit, remember your partner, you are dancing with them, not out dancing them. feed off of their energy. connect with whoever you are dancing with.

Welcome to the world of ballet. It is true, we can get quite catty among other dancers. It's only competition, everyone has a competitive side. However, most everyone involved in the performing-visual arts gets catty at some point or another.

@belindaw My daughter studied seven years of RAD syllabus and it really helped shape her into the beautiful dancer she is today. Her teacher was actually British

Sometimes when reading all those comments on ballet vids I actually DO wonder... has it occured to any of those "well meaning critics" who basically aren't doing anything but get out some bitchy and mean comments that there are some girls in this world who will NEVER be perfect ballerinas and who don't even want to be but simply enjoy dancing and are doing as best as they can? what's wrong with telling them, they did good? because they DID.

How old is she?

@lollypop39520 RAD is a syllabus, not a place :). There are dance schools all over the world that teach the RAD syllabus, so if you really want to learn RAD ballet, just ring your local dance schools and see who teaches that syllabus. Good luck with your dancing - I hope you can get back into it, if it means that much to you <3

@TheLingyee a) no, she was right b) your english is pretty shit... nice grammer you have

I totally agree that criticism is good and its great that a lot of commentors here take the time to critique others on their dance to better improve them, but at the same time there's a fine line between constructive criticism and sounding bitchy and patronising....
