    Hello Dancers & Friends!
    Bring some twinkle to your toes and a smile to your heart with this gentle ballet leg exercise set to the iconic music of the Sugarplum Fairy. This sequence develops strength, length, tone, & posture with two of the primary steps in ballet technique: TENDU and DÈGAGÉ. It will be helpful to be familiar with these before doing the exercise, so if you are brand new to ballet, take a look at my how-to videos for

    Ballet Basics DÉGAGÉ: • BALLET BASICS: Dégagé
    (Also, I apologize for the blurriness of the video. My camera was having issues 😔... Hoping you can still enjoy the music and movement!)
    Wishing you and yours a healthy and joyous finale to 2022! 🎄💕🩰✨
    Happy Dancing!

    Tiekka, I am starting ballet classes in January and I cannot wait! I have wanted to take them my entire life but never had the opportunity. I am 25. You were one of the inspirations that finally got me to enroll in classes. I hope to someday be able to take do these lovely exercises. I hope you have a merry Christmas and wonderful 2023! So excited to watch more of your videos. Your encouragement for beginners means a lot to me and I am sure to a lot of others as well.

    Well I am watching all of your videos and it helps a lot. So I just wanted to say Hi and say thank you for creating such an helpful and gracious channel to watch. It means a lot for a lot of people like me who were not lucky enough to take ballet classes when they were little... I watch Kathryn Morgan for my daliy barre workouts but when I am confused with something your channel is the one that I always turn to. Also I enjoy a lot your flower Waltz choreo. Your channel is like a professional detailed touch that we all need... Thank you❤❤🎉🎉🎉

      Thank you! I’m so happy my instruction is helping you! Ballet can feel mysterious at times, but really it’s just about understanding how the same ideas apply from one step to the next. And then of course there is the JOY of it! I hope you feel that, too! Thanks again for your kind words. 🙏🩰💕✨

    Hi! When I was little, I used to do ballet but I left it when I was 7. Now I am 18 years old and I would love to retake ballet classes because I miss dancing. I would like to become a ballet dancer with a good technique but without doing ballet professionally. Do you think I could do it?

    I have a question for battement fondu. When I bend my standing knee, it hurts a little bit. Or maybe I shouldn't use the word "hurts" because it cannot be considered pain, but I feel that something's not okay. I'm keeping my knees over my toes and I try to use my hip muscles to do the pliè (and not use the knee so I don't put pressure on it). I've had some knee struggles before this, and it was all because I was forcing turnout and I was not keeping my knees over my toes, and my teacher didn't say anything about it. Any advice for fondu?

    • @everydayballet
      @everydayballet  Рік тому

      Fondu is essentially a plié on one leg, so it’s very important to maintain the alignment of knee over toes. At the studio, I often see students collapse in the standing hip in fondu. You want to make sure the hips are level, keeping the front of the standing hip very tall. Also, try “lifting” into the fondu-which means drawing up through the waist and core as you bend the knee. This will further remove any pressure on the knee. Make sure the heel stays completely on the floor in the plié. Finally, bend the knee a little less to see if this prevents the stress you are feeling. I hope this helps! 💗🩰✨

    I feel already old to start again dancing… I would like to enjoy your program but I feel uncomfortable. I was dancing on points shoes…now I do walk with incorrect posture😢

    • @everydayballet
      @everydayballet  9 місяців тому

      I understand how hard it can be to start again… It sounds like you had a pretty good amount of training in your past. I work with many people who are uncomfortable about coming back to ballet and who feeling badly about losing their skills. First, I invite them to quiet their inner-critic. Instead of listening to that voice that wants to criticize, I encourage them to simply listen to the music and allow themselves some delight. Reconnecting to something you loved in the past can be tricky because we are not the same anymore. But if you can try not to compare your current self to your old self, you just may find you start to feel some joy with ballet again. I hope you will reconnect with what you enjoy and love! 💕🩰✨
