Thank you for having a Physiotherapist in your video! I am a PT / former dancer in America who teaches ballet, and I use many of these exercises in my classes. It's so great to see more studios and teachers collaborating with medical professionals. I appreciate your videos as a dance teacher. I've see many of your tips in my classes. :)
Dancers are a trip! It amazes me how we constantly devise new training and strengthening and stretching methods. The training methods have come such a long way. Did Fonteyn and Nureyev do this stuff? Dancer's back in their day were hardly allowed any exercise that weren't strictly ballet.
Interesting! I've never thought to usw a Thera-band for normal barre work. I guess I need to get an longer one to try these! Please make a video on how to breathe while dancing. I tend to hold my breath. Even when I do remember to breathe, I don't think I do it in a way that is helping me. I wonder if anyone else has this problem?
+Claudia Dean Coaching Make it just a quick tip. No need for a full length. That would be better spent on chasse coupe jete video! Like in a menage for guys, us ladies typically don't do it as a menage so just include the regular. Tombe coupe jete, or chasse. You know what I'm taking about right? The coupe turn and the grand jete repeated. Please reply! Thank you soooo much!
I love how your face expression is changing when you are doing an exercise yourself... So into it and I can see or guess how you looked in a performance or your Training before...
This was such a helpful video 😍 for your q&a my question is: do you have any tips on improving technique? Or improving as a dancer? Could you perhaps make a video about this? 💕
These are amazing exercises! I just both 45 metres of Theraband and cut them into 2m pieces. I am going to try the exercises with my students in the next few weeks, starting today! So excited! Thank you for sharing!
Hello Claudia Do you prefer the red theraband or the blue one? I know that the red one is longer but is it stronger too? After watching this video I am really motivated to work with a theraband ❤️💙 I also want to improve my feet with it. Kisses from Germany 💘
LOVE this video! Great selection of clean and effective exercises, thanks for putting this together for us :) and no, Claudia, you definitely haven't lost it! ;) x
Hello, you could put subtitles in your videos in Portuguese, because I'm Brazilian but I do not understand English very much! Thank you for understanding! kiss kiss😘
Hey Claudia, This is Betti from Riverside, California. I am 24 and I started dancing about five years ago and just recently started pointe work with my ballet mistress. As an adult beginning pointe work can you offer some strengthening tips that will help me increase my stability and tenacity with these shoes? ....Love and appreciate your videos very much.
Hi Claudia, would you do these before class? I would like to ask if u could do a video for body or neck tension, i think i sometimes think to much and get tense 😅 Thanks❤️❤️
What type of shoes are you wearing? My ballet teacher wears the same type of shoe, and I'm just curious as to why you don't wear normal ballet shoes. Thanks!
Many dance teachers wear these shoes because they allow them to articulate the foot and demonstrate exercises (since there is no hard sole in the arch) but they also give enough support to their feet so they don't die after teaching so many classes. It can be very tiring to be walking around a classroom correcting students in flat ballet slippers all day.
I love Thera band exercises! Would you recommend doing this as part of a performance warmup in addition to the exercises you do in that video in order to help alignment/balance? Or would you keep these exercises strictly in practice?
I'm not Claudia but.. here is my tip XD: Not really, before a performance is not the time to do a stretching exercise. That will simply tire your muscles. You should do her performance warm up barre instead! Stretching and warming up is the way to go! As hours before your performance pride yourself in thinking you are already strong enough to well.. do it! Instead save that for the day after the final performance, so you can be sure to do even better next time! Hope this helps lol.

For your next Q&A, can you answer this question:
How can you tell if your muscles are as warm as they need to be before class?
Of course xx
yay! ^^ Thank you for the Cardio exercises too!~
Rachel Walker Yes. Mine seem to resist less when stretching when warmer

Hi Claudia...
I always get tangled in my therabands and they roll up when I wrap them. Harder than ballet! LOL.
Happens all the time xx
Can you please make a flexibility tutorial? Thanks! X
You're every bit Svetlana for my money!
