I took ballet classes as a child but had a body that resisted flexibility, was heavy-footed in my jumps and landings, and lacked the grace each movement deserved. After decades of playing sports, lifting weights, strength training, and repetitive cardio, all of it took a toll on my joints, especially on my legs and knees. Your videos give me challenging and effective movements, as well as permission to try ballet and barre moves in the privacy of my own home. I get to work on revisiting poses and positions from my childhood ballet classes without the glare of my teacher's scrutinizing stare and yardstick hitting the floor to create tempo with every move. Thank you for making ballet approachable and enjoyable after all these years!
I love doing your workouts… your personality makes it so enjoyable! Also I love your non bulky exercises and that a lot of them are low impact. I have autoimmune diseases and don’t have the energy for high impact workouts but need to keep moving… these are perfect! I did ballet as a young girl and love rekindling my love for dance through your exercises. Thank you 😊
Hiii, I'm so happy with your workouts. I've been doing them for almost 6 months and i really can see how my body has change. I always wanted to be a bailarina but the academies were so expensives, then I found your UA-cam channel and I love it. 😍😍😍 Also grow up watching Barbie's movies like the Nutcracker and the Swan Lake so I love ballet do much
My mom signed me up for ballet when I was 2. I did it all through my childhood along with tap and jazz. Later, I took hip hop. When I was doing Betty Rocker, she had some ballet barre workouts. I looked on UA-cam for some others age came across actual center work. Since then, it's my favorite form of exercise. It makes me more flexible, helps me lose weight, and shows me movements I never even really learned as a kid. It also gives me energy and cracks my back and neck As a former trainer, the only thing that makes me bristle is when instructors say "lower abs". The rectus abdominus is one muscle. Other than that, keep it up with your fun classes, and keep making me laugh 😃 ! Love you, Alessia ❤️
Evidently my mom started me in dance at 2 after the local teacher led jazzercise for our vacation Bible school recreation time. She said i had good rhythm. I was a shy child so my mom was afraid of how i would do on stage but i was fine. Our school was nothing strict to develop pro dancers but just fun ballet, tap, and eventually jazz. I did a bit of tumbling and baton a couple years too. Over 40 years later I'm still dancing! I danced in college ( did some musical theater as well as dance team at football games). Dance was my therapy in college and grad school and a part time job even after grad school. I found adult classes for both ballet and tap and did a recital last week with my tap group. I also dabbled in social dancing pre 2020 and had hoped to get more serious with it but, time! Ballet has been the foundation of all of it, and even though i was never going to be a pro, people still "tag" me as a dancer. You can't get it out of us!
Hello beautiful lady, thank you so much, you have changed my world in a positive way. I took ballet for around a year when I was 5 in our very small town in NZ, then the teacher left and that was the end of it until I was living in Sydney and returned to another year of ballet at 25 with two patient ex-dancers. Now at 52 in Melbourne Aus, I'm back again during lockdown and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how my body has remembered the moves, and has become flexible and beautiful once again! (which I never thought was possible at my age!). BLESS YOU!!
I love your funny energy, it really keeps you going through the whole workout, while still seeming fun! I got into ballet as a 3 year old, i just saw women dancing it, and knew that it was something i wanted to do. I then proceeded to bother my mom about it for the next two years, until she enrolled me in classes at 5. I stayed in the classes until I was around 12, when my school closed down, and here i am, several years later, picking it back up!
my father got me into ballet. i loved listening to classical music with him in his library.he taught me to enjoy the good things in life i love your channel
What I love about ballet is the art the discipline and I love classical music plus growing up with Barbie videos involving ballet.. I loved it as a kid my oldest cousin was a dancer at the time and sometimes I would be jealous cause I wanted to do it too and seeing ballet dancers dancing beautifully either on stage or guest appearances on tv shows . Of I didn't have alot of flexibility at the time I didn't know how to do crazy splits and what I need to do to master that whenever I would here a classical piece or sometimes an opera aria I keep having these daydreams of dancing to it and being on pointe shoes even I am dancing like the late Dame Margot fontyn capabilities i want to be labeled a dancer to my last breath even though I struggle with time , money and dedication nowadays I have still my passion from you and others I follow everyday on UA-cam to push me to where I can fill in my goal gaps and be a successful 30 yr old dancer
What i love about ballet is it a former style of dancing that deal with balance and uplift direct with in it plus I love your movement it properly type of dancing that many don't know how to do it different
Thank you for your workouts. When I was in elementary school and jr. high I wanted to take ballet, but my family didn't really have the resources and I was very shy. The opportunities that I pursued there didn't really ever pan out. When I was older and attending school in NYC, my art school offered a ballet course so I signed up and have never looked back. :). I'm not really the ballet body type, and I'm starting to get older. :(. But I've held onto ballet and have sought it out in all the ways I can. Thank you.
I have long been into fitness, from running, to yoga, weightlifting, Pilates, and meditation. I also work a difficult job at a desk. Your ballet exercise videos have changed my posture. I love the greatness you put into the world. Thank you. For others reading: If you're seriously struggling with desk posture (anterior pelvic tilt, forward head, etc.), this UA-camr's exercises for hips and shoulders will change your life. I have seen more posture improvement in the last WEEK with those exercises than I saw in my physical therapist's office over twelve weeks, not to mention the many hundreds of dollars I spent there.
Anne, knowing that I can bring joy, peace and relieve to your body and mind through dance, fills my heart with joy! Thank you immensely for your support! Keep on dancing and keep on walking tall and proud! Love Alessia

I ask for Ballet classes when I was 4 but my mom was raising 4 kids by herself so it was simply impossible for her. When Il was around 8 I managed to ver into a studio but I was so embarrased of not being combed or dressed like the rest that I couldn't enter the class. When I was 20 I got into my first class ans the teacher said if you had started sooner you'd have had an amazing career. Now I'm 40 and still cry about it

Alright I have to know where you got those adorable earrings!@
I was always into ballet but I started dancing jazz when I was 3 and hip-hop. It wasn't until I was 21 that I started dancing ballet. That's my story.
My god you look fabulous 👏👏👏👏

Ballerinas have the most beautiful bodies, more beautiful than runners and swimmers.
