5 TIPS on HIGHER EXTENSIONS (developpe) from Mariinsky ballerina Maria Khoreva

  • In this video I'm talking about 5 most important things that I think about whenever doing developpe to the side or to the front and whenever I'm working on making my extensions higher and more pretty looking! These are the 5 tips that I got from people around me, my coaches and ballet colleagues that really help me with lifting the legs higher in class, at the rehearsals and on stage. Please note that this only comes from my personal experience and I'm not saying that these will work for absolutely anyone, however these tips have been literal lifesavers for me and I just knew I needed to share these with you!
    Developpé is one of the most beautiful moves in ballet in my opinion and it's very important for all of the slow pas de deux and solos and it adds a lot of versatility to ballerina's performance when executed nicely!
    So I hope you find this video useful and interesting and I hope these tips and advices could be of a little help!

      @Sky-ht6tv 2 роки тому +2

      I’m not a ballet dancer, but some exercises that may help with leg strength are squats, but using your quads rather than glutes, lunges (not the stretch version, the one with a bent back knee), adductor/abductor lifts, toe lifts (basically going on and off relevé, it’s more affective one foot at a time), and half brush using your legs instead of your glutes. I hope this helps.

      don’t use your top thigh. a lot of dancers use it because it’s “easier” but you don’t want to build up the muscle on the front because you want to create a line. use the back, or bottom, thigh

    Maria in my ballet lesson yesterday my teacher was telling me how I really needed to work on getting my extension above 90 degrees (at the moment it is comfortably at 90 and stretched 95/100). I am really struggling but I think this will really help! I love you so much xx

  • @radiantonion8615
    @radiantonion8615 Рік тому +4

    re: "Almost parallel" hips - Yes I agree 100%. I think of it as "stacking" the hips. It allows you to get on your balance on your supporting leg by allowing you to shift your weight. It is a very slight press in and up of the working hip and Not a lift . It's like pulling your hips closer to each other. You can very definitely notice this in tendu arabesque when you do this because if you employ this same almost parallel, stacking technique you will easily be able to lift your working foot and leg off the floor. If you have your hips perfectly parallel you will have a hard time doing this. You can also use this for passe,/retire position as well ( gasps from the audience!!) but you will notice you will get onto your supporting leg easier. If done correctly you won't see much of a difference but you Will feel it.

    I had and i still have dancer hip syndrome on my left side for years, because I started ballet at the age of 16, but i was overstrechted due to flexibility training in the past without strengthening. Extensions on the left side to the front are so hard for me to keep balance and I realised i have the turnout range, but not the strength in the buttocks to keep it from cramping in my hipsockets. I can't go higher than 90° on the left side, but on the right side I have no probles to go above 130-140° Thanks for the Vidoe Maria!

    Hi Maria-- I have been a ballet teacher for 35 years and that final tip about the standing leg is exactly what I focus on for my students! So often neglected as it is natural to focus on the "gesture leg" but really our working leg is the standing leg. Without it, we cannot support the extension well at all and yes, I agree-- the standing leg must be beautiful too. Also if you always keep the standing leg extended upward to the hips and down through the floor, your knees will not sway or unintentionally be bent. Then both lines will be beautiful and secure. Thanks and XOXO, Sarah
