Claudia - please keep on posting these amazing videos. Micro-managing the muscles and focusing on very subtle movements is KEY to have the right alignment. Love how you break a movement into pieces. And, if you can add any explanations regarding breathing techniques and the core, would appreciate it! Xx
It's nice that you don't pigeonhole into one or two corrections. Everybody has different strengths and weaknesses, and this allows for a wide range of correction. Brilliant! Finis Jhung from New York also talks about keeping the head on the back shoulder because many dancers tend to go past the supporting leg in the en dedans turn. Keeping the awareness focused on the head with the back shoulder helps to keep the position straight over the supporting leg rather than shooting past it. I think correction 8 related to this. You're such a bright light Claudia! Love your videos!!
Claudia, you have no idea how much your tips have helped me improve, although I am an adult dancer who has only recently gone back to ballet after 15 years. Thank you so so much and please keep doing videos! Oh, it would be great if you could do a video on spotting :) xx
I only have classes once a week and we don't have enough time to improve,I get so happy watching these videos because I absolutely, deeply love ballet more than anything and I don't have the chance to rehears everyday 😭😭😭 She is absolutely gorgeous, love your job
If you you love ballet so much please try to get more classes and pursue your passion/dream. I never did & have regretted it so much all my adult days. x
What would be incredible is a turns intensive class. Turns are the hardest skill to achieve well in classical ballet (for many) and would love to do a class dedicated to developing turns. From chaine to arabesque, lame ducks, en dedans etc withe build up exercises for each. If I was good at turns I would make it myself lol!! Anyways just a class I have dreamed of (severe scoliosis since early teens makes turns an extreme challenge). X
Navila Zayer i think it s because they.ve had the foundation, so Ms Claudia will perfect it.. don.t worry all of my "miss" also so strict and stern 😁😁 hi five.. and also my friends too.. they had the same prob with us
Claudia all these tips have helped me so much!! Thank you for making all these videos. Could you make a video on doing jumps like entrechat and turns while en pointe?? :)
Hi! I find your videos every helpful and I wanted to know if you can make a video on improving a backwards split roll, I know it isn't ballet but I am not every good at them and I want to improve thanks!
omg she's amazing I wish I could go to her dance school!!!! Can you make a video about going on Pointe as my teacher started it but I'm finding it really hard xx
Very helpfull tips ! Can you do a video on arms, hands and fingers? My teacher always corrects me on that and she says that am am very stiff and that i need have more soft hand and fingers
Amazing video Claudia!! But i do have one question... (its sort of off topic, but i hope you can answer it) when i do a penché, i always feel a strain in my hip... do you know what this might be caused by and what i can do to relieve the pressure on my hip? Thank you so much xoxo😍❤️
My ballet teacher tells us that we must keep our pinkie toe on the floor the whole time for everything so that we are balanced and well positioned 😊 it really helps!
loved the video, thank you! but my teacher insists that i should show my leg a la second before the retiré and i kind of lose my posture because of that
Would you consider doing a video about teaching/coaching dance? I've been dancing for 15 years and during the four years I lived in Germany (went to University there) I started teaching ballet and contemporary dance at the studio where I took classes myself. Now I'm back home in South Africa and although I found a great studio to take classes at, I don't really know how to get back into teaching again. I'm pretty sure others would also be interested in learning about the different ways to become a dance teacher. Should you attend a school for dance pedagogy or something? Are those degrees even worth the money, since 'dance teacher' isn't a protected job title in many countries? Things like that... It would be interesting to hear your opinion on this and also just your personal story of how you became a teacher/coach. Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa :)
Hi, I was wondering if the position of the retiré foot is different according to different schools of dance. I can't seem to find this on Google. I swear I've learned en dedans pirouettes with the retiré in different places, but now I can't quite remember and I'm questioning my memory of how I first learned this. Thanks.
Megan Makeuptosh hello, yes the retiré position is varying, depending which ballet method is taught. Sometimes the retiré is higher, or lower, some are crossed in front of the standing leg, when others have the tip of the toe almost at the side of the standing leg. No right or wrong here, so if you take ballet classes currently, simply ask how your teacher wants it 👍
