    I'm so glad i found your channel! The ideia of allowing beginners to dance famous variations using steps that we already know is just amazing
    Being a beginner and an adult in ballet, i really appreciate your work and hope you do more of this videos
    Your explanation is clear and simple, yet still making it beautiful, thank you so much for that!
    I would love to see your take on the Esmeralda variation

      I quit 11 years ago when I was 15… my pointe shoes still fit me and I pulled them out today and did some exercises. That was rough. My toes didn’t want to angle the way they used to. I’m gonna try dancing without pointe. I don’t know what I was thinking

  • @SamHackenson
    @SamHackenson 6 років тому +193

    As a slightly more advanced dancer, I might try this routine adapted a little bit on pointe! I'd love to see some beginner/intermediate pointe variations. Some routines as is are way too much for me but I wouldn't consider myself a beginner either so it's hard to find things to work on for routines.

    Thank you for posting this! I have never taken a dance class and decided that I wanted to teach myself a ballet dance through November and December as a personal exercise goal. I bought my first pair of Bloch ballet flats. There were a lot of warm up, stretching and barre videos posted by you and others that I did before and after I practiced the sugar plum fairy dance. It was hard putting together the feet, arms and head, but I eventually memorized the dance and performed it in front of my Christmas tree for my family. I've always loved the nutcracker. Thank you for making it possible for me to dance to one of the songs for myself. It has really helped me to have something to look forward to. I can feel your love and passion for ballet for anyone willing to work hard. Thank you for your hard work and encouragement.

    They don't have much experience with ballet, but this is just enough for them to feel like they're actually doing something fun/cool. (We're only doing the last 30 seconds of the variation)
    Thanks for saving me the time of choreographing something by posting this perfect little combination! 😂😁🩰

    Natalie,
    I've recently turned 15 and only a few months ago found out about ballet. I want to begin and hopefully be professional in the future, but there are no classes in my area for people of my age and they are too expensive either way. So far, I have been working on flexibility. Any tips for my situation would be appreciated, thank you :)
    (I do dance in school, but we have to create our own dances instead of being taught, which is why I like your easier choreography. Unfortunately I am not able to balance well and space is an issue.)

    • @NatalieDanzaBallet
      @NatalieDanzaBallet  6 років тому +5

      I'm glad you've found your love for dance and ballet. It will be difficult to train properly in ballet without having a teacher. You can dance on your own or with your friends for fun but it you really want to train in ballet you will need to find a way to go to regular ballet classes. For now it's great to work on your flexibility and you can practice your balancing too! :)

    Very good, pretty.. :) I did ballet from age 5 -12, then I moved on to modern dance-and intuitive dance. I went and put on my ballet shoes :D My house is perfect for dancing, just need to fix my speakers.. In my bedroom I have huge mirros so I can practice there too, also I have a sushi bench as a bar for streching.. it was great, also you teach for beginners so that is great, it`s like ride a bike, it`s in me, just need to get back to it.

    You don’t have to wear pointe shoes to be able to wear a tutu. And you don’t have to be a girl ether. In my opinion. Male cheerleaders can wear skirts, schoolboys can wear girls uniforms. Princes can wear dresses, and of course male ballet dancers can also wear tutus. Wonderful video as usual.

      Beg to differ.. because a lot of people love the professional look of the suit, but I do like long skirts on men.. ❤

    Hello Natalia ! I have a little question about pointe. I am 13, I am taking modern dance classes since a few months, I was a self-taught before (for a few months too), at home I do a lot of pliés etc, do a little bit of actual dance (ballet), working on pirouettes (and now that I discovered your videos I am gonna try them). Anyway, I do all of that, and I know I will never take actual ballet classes because I'm too old, and all the dance schools around me don't have a "teen beginner" level. So what about getting on pointe ? I'd love to do that but i've heard only the teacher can decide if you're able to get on pointe, and I don't have any teacher so... I really don't know what to do, I don't wanna hurt myself but also trying pointe shoes is my dream ! Can you give me some advice ? (also sorry for my english I'm french)

      Hi Manon, I know that pointe seems really beautiful and exciting but it's so so important to go to ballet classes with a good teacher before you start pointe. You need to build up your technique and strength before you try pointe, it's very important to prevent injury and also because you will enjoy pointe much more if you are able to feel control when you are up because you have already practised a lot in soft shoes. Maybe ask in the ballet schools if you can join the class even if you are older. As an adult I have even taken class with 13 year olds, it doesn't matter about the age of the other students. The important thing is that you can learn from a good teacher. Best of luck! :)

    I'm kinda in the midst of my teen years I've never danced in my life but ballet is so stunning and I've always had a passion for it do you think I could try this on my own as I know having a teacher improves technique I really want to go into classes know atleast a beginner variation of a dance, I know all of my postions and so forth.

    • @NatalieDanzaBallet
      @NatalieDanzaBallet  4 роки тому

      I would suggest going to lessons with a teacher first but it's possible to learn some of the basic movements online. I would suggest my ballet barre basics and ballet centre basics playlists so you can really understand the technique of the basic movements before learning a full variation :)
