- Also called pas de valse or simply waltz.
Important is that most of the steps move forward. Only one step moves around to face the back. Do not think of it as a turning step.

You are my absolute favorite teacher on UA-cam!! Your slowed down focus on movements are seriously the only thing that seems to help me understand where the movements come from. I have learned a huge amount from watching you, thank you!!
I am very happy to hear my videos help you. It's all about taking movements apart into bite-size pieces. :)
Love this combination. Its always a delight to watch your clips, so much clarity and grace!
I love your videos ❤️you are my favorite teacher. clearly structured and a relaxed voice. It's great that you're there. Thank you!
Thank you for watching, Melanie. I am happy that you find my videos helpful. :)
Many thanks for posting, especially in slow motion and with commentary too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! I really like that last pirouette actually 😆💗👍🏻
For me "balancé en tournant" and "pas de valse en tournant" are two very distinct steps.
Very interesting. Can you say more?
@@HolisticBallet yes of course. I’ll get back to this in an hour when I get home.

Balancé and pas de valse: same thing with two different names or two different steps? Or are there different varieties of balancés?
Here’s my take on it:
I was taught balancé and pas de valse as two distinct steps (hence I also teach it myself that way). Both steps are usually executed in three counts.
Balancé has a down-up-down (fondu, relevé, fondu) motion and can be done de côté (both derrière and devant), en avant, en arrière, and en tournant.
Pas de valse has a motion of down-up-up (fondu, relevé, relevé) and is a traveling step which is done generally en tournant with two pas de valse steps completing a full turn. The 'one two three' moves forward, the ‘two two three’ pivots.
In a pas de valse your legs never cross, in a balancé they do. The difference between a balancé en tournant and pas de valse en tournant is rather subtle: balancé en tournant is done as a down-up-down and could be described as tombé-coupé-step, while a pas de valse is almost a running step, like a triplet done turning. And to make matters more complex (and confusing/annoying for the dancers just for the fun of it 😈), you can do a pas de valse and alternate it with a balancé en tournant.
@@DeviVanhon I grew up with the Vaganova method in East Berlin and as far as I remember, we never used the term pas de valse. Everything was a balancé/ balancé en tournant.
I kept rewatching that leg swap on your last pirouette- it looked really cool, that double step!
always an impressive 'cheat' ;)
Love to you and Herbert...and your piantist 🌹🐾♥️🤗🌹
beautiful
Thank you very very much~^^
It means a lot to me
brush back is added to the brush front followed by turning
Do you have any examples of favorite dancers or ballet scenes with balancé?
It is such a beautiful movement, I feel like you can tell a whole story with just balancé.
We did this combo, kind of, in class tonight. However we just call it a turning waltz, tombe pas de bourrée with a single pirouette landing fourth. :)
'turning waltz': clear and easy :)
Yes, we aren’t fancy in our adult tech class, hehe. This video has helped us In breaking down the steps. So beautiful! Thank you!
@@marianne3024 wonderful!
What kind of music is playing? I would be grateful 😊
The music is from my Holistic Ballet DVD. I commissioned Cyrus Gabrysch to compose and play the music.
