Cou de pied that ballet teachers don't talk about

- I'd like to share two types of cou de pied that students need to be taught. The first one is one where all teachers are aware. But the second one that I introduce is one that is most used in the center or pointe work.
Let me know if you found this helpful.
I cannot thank you enough for the exceptional instruction that you give in these videos. I do your free UA-cam dance classes every morning. I never had a teacher explain the exact positioning so well. You break things down in a way that my mind really grasps, and when my mind gets it, then my body can get it. I even took ballet at the university level, and never had a teacher as good as you!
Thank you, thank you thank you for these, UA-cam classes! It’s the type of training I’ve been looking for all my life.
...I really enjoyed the explanation and the exercise that avoids the "sickle-shaped" movement very common in beginners. Thank you, Mr. Du!
I think the higher version makes more proportional shapes on pointe shoes, because foot became longer than in flat shoes.
you complete me.
Absolutely! The most knowledgeable teacher! TY!
The "high sur le cou-de-pied position" was mentioned by the great Vaganova Academy teacher Lyudmila Safronova, author of the book "Classes of classical dance", in a small article written for the fourth magazine of 2014 of VA called " Methodic guidelines for training classical dance in lower classes", where she tells this higher position is used at the beginning of the study of tours and in pointe exercises in general, for instance when first teaching sissonne simple. This is probably due to the retiré position not being yet mentioned by the time of Agrippina Vaganova, but in a 1946 documentary of her method, the students can be seen doing tours and other steps with this high sur le cou-de-pied position. It's really great for what Safronova says, starting the study of certain movements before doing a higher retiré position.
It exists in french technique and is used for pique turn and saute de basque. It has a name but I don´t remember it. I will ask my teacher.
@@aeternumusik french schools use the name raccourci or au genoux
Wouldn't that version of sisonne be temps de cuisse?
@@nicolina1026 I don't think so, I think you are confusing what sissonne simple en pointe is.
Great combo to practice proper coup de pied!
This is so clear instruction. Thank you
Im going to practice it
I love this teacher so much.
Very useful. Very logical explanation. 😊👏😊
Thank you
Perfect
class at royalston.
Uncle Barry is teaching this lesson. Jackie Chan..
Marvelous! Thank you, Mr. Du!
Appreciate the tutorial but a little confused by the fact that nobody talks about the third cou de pied. We teach the wrap, the devant/derriere and the lifting of the foot a little higher to achieve that third cou de pied.
Thank you soooo sooo much for this
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank you!!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩🤩🤩😍
Nothing new...we knew that as far back as I can remember...70s 80s etc
