    Hello my ballet pals, I;ve had quite a few requests to take the music down a level so I have just rededited the video for you. Hope it you enjoy it even more with the lower music! Tajke care, Rachel 🤗❤

    Hi Rachel. 63 year old lady here in England, I have been doing your workouts for a couple of years now. I particularly like this workout as I used to do ballet when I was a little girl and doing the moves brings back memories, i have stiffened up a lot now 😂 even though I stretch, but in my mind I can still see me walking up some rickety old wooden steps to the ballet studio above to dance in my black leotard, pink tights and pink satin ballet shoes andi remember the piano music well. Thank you for all your workouts although as I still work full time don't always regularly do them❤

    Thank you very very much Rachel! The movements and music are delightful, and for me, nostalgic. I'm 73, recovering from a year of hip bursitis and sciatica. This routine is a pleasure, not like PT. Your ballet/pilates routines are helpful for slow strength building and balance.

    So happy that I found you! I am 70+ and "lost" my ballet-for-seniors offline class during the Corona years. Today I was just looking for something for seniors, like light workout and then, unexpectedly, I found ballet! Just finished these 30 minutes and because you wanted to have feedback, here it is: Lovely! It puts me back into my ballet dreams! and I would love to have more of it, definitely.

    ❤🩰I love your videos. You have a strong pleasant voice. So many women today sound screechy and immature.
    There is such limited content for low impact standing exerices. Glad to discover your Pilates for seniors videos.
    Perhap you can hire a retired male dancer to create a fun Pilates/ballet series for old men. Ozzy Osborne, Sting, Prince Andrew...
    Didn't have ballet classes as a kid, so doing this is surprisingly emotional for me. Like finding a something important that I didn't know was missing.
    I created a playlist of your standing videos and noticed that many are 30 minutes or less but the UA-cam timer is showing an hour or more. This could severely affect your viewership. If UA-cam can't fix this then you might changing name slightly using "save as" to shed digital weight, then re-upload the videos.
