Hi Desiree! An amazing video as always, can't wait to try it out tomorrow! I've also been following you on instagram for a while and I love how honest and open you are about body image and struggling with finding balance. I come from a past of anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and excessive exercising. I've been following your workouts for about 6 months now and for the first time in my life, I actually enjoy them for the sheer pleasure of how they make me feel, what my body can do a little better each day and just soaking up the positivity in your voice! (as opposed to my previous mindset of ''I hate this so much, but it's burning a lot of calories'') It may seem like no big deal, but it makes you a part of the new me, who is not at war with my body. So here's to exercising just for the pleasure of it, and wishing you many, many more workouts to come! Thanks so much for what you do 🤗
Maria-Christina Mantelou Aww thank you so much for sharing that with me!!! Your comment really made my heart smile. 💙 Nothing makes me happier than knowing that I’m really helping others! I’m so honored to be part of the “new you.” XOXOXO Sending you so much love! 🥰🥰🥰
I did the first 7 minutes only, as that's all my body could handle, and it made me feel so amazing! I have permanent injuries in my back, so this low-impact ballet workout is perfect. I am so thankful I found your channel. It is very refreshing to find workouts from a talented dancer who is not an egomaniac. Some of the fitness channels on youtube are 110% ego focused, and I literally cannot stand them. You are a breath of fresh air!!
Yay, good for you. Keep at it...practice makes progress! And thank you so much for your kindness. I’m a regular person...just like everyone else! We’re all just trying to make our lives beautiful...and I truly enjoy helping people reach that! XOXO 😘
Thank you so much for your wonderful classes. I practiced today and felt so comfortable both physically and mentally. As a child, I didn’t have the money to learn ballet, and I truly can’t believe that now, at this age, I am finally able to practice. I cannot believe that I can complete your lessons. Your professional and detailed explanations and demonstrations make such a difference, and I am incredibly thankful for that. Your lessons have made this possible, and I’m so grateful for that. Thank you!
Love love love that I found you! My eight year old daughter came out of her dance class last week, just glowing with happiness... and it reminded me of how much I used to love dancing when I was younger! There are no adult classes near my home, so finding you here is just wonderful. Thank you!
Awww that makes me so happy Kelli! Listen, I teach a handful of ballet classes throughout the week…you can join in person if you live in NYC or join virtually on Zoom! I’d love to have you dance with us! www.dansique.com/find-a-class 🥰💖🩰🥰💖🩰🥰
I do these ballet work out even if i dont do ballet lessons i dont even know how to do a split but you are teaching me how to do one i dont even need a teacher you're like my online teacher but a ballet one 😊🧁 xoxoxo🥰😘
Phewww! Just like your other HIIT ballet videos, I've never sweated so elegantly haha! Beautiful job, Desiree! Keep the videos coming. Seriously, you produce the best ballet videos on UA-cam ❤️❤️ Love from England 🇬🇧
This ballet work out was a gem! and it's the best dance warm up for any dance routine one may want to perform. I am soaked in my sweat, but very happy! I think 've just done a 15 minutes tough cardio without even noticing...what more can I want? Desiree you couldn't have found a better way to get me to start my Sunday morning. thank you!
Francesca Antonioni Thank you so much for your kind words Francesca!!! I absolutely love this workout and I’m so happy you do too! It’s such an elegant way to sweat! 🤣🤣🤣 Love & Hugs 💜💕💜💕💜💕
Somehow I hadn't done this one yet!! The body is willing, but boy do my hip flexors remind me I'm not in my 20s, 30s, 40s... ;) Thank you for the joy of putting my body through that series of exercises! xoxox
You're a real ballet dancer, and not some "Ballet Barre In Motion Fitness Instructor," or whatever those fakers are called. I can tell by your coordination, your carriage, the way you hold your arms and articulate your feet.
Yes, the form from those ballet barre instructors is.... it's not great at all. There was even an ad before the video that had that blonde that advertises everywhere. Can never make it through more than 2 seconds of her advertisements. Op there she is again 🤣 go away plz. 😬
Thankyou so much for this! Helped me so much, I love hitt workouts as I don’t have much time from school and dance till late , but all of the ones I’ve tried have so much squats and bulk up quads, but this is so perfect ❤️
Great video. I just started adult beginning ballet 3 years ago. I am not going to be a pro, not at my age lol. I do it for the exercise and to learn something new, that I wish I would of done when I was younger. This workout is just what I need and is a great way for me to stay in shape between classes. Subbed and cant wait to check out your other vids. Thanks!
Jim Norton Yayyy for learning new things!!! I’m so happy you enjoyed this workout! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and support! 🧡🧡🧡 Here’s the link to my BALLET PLAYLIST ua-cam.com/play/PL0YU1wINOkaevXm3MBQJg1GXSIbF-C6Ws.html
crissy L More to come! Hope you can join my virtual classes starting up again 9/7! I’ll be teaching Pilates/HIIT classes and Ballet!!! 🥰💖💪🏼🩰 www.dansique.com/virtual-studio
Hi Desiree! I love your videos- they are my go to workout videos during quarantine. I’m wondering if you could do another video that is half HIIT and half choreography. I think that would be super fun 🤩
I tried this but struggled so hard because I'm a beginner and don't know the first thing about ballet; still was a good workout and left me sweating, I just wish I was able to do the moves correctly
This is an older workout of mine...I’ve added music into my later ones! You’ll love these too 👉 ua-cam.com/video/itRgwCNBvoc/v-deo.html 👉 ua-cam.com/video/c6Jcf4FEPSA/v-deo.html 👉 and check out this playlist for MANY more! ua-cam.com/play/PL0YU1wINOkaevXm3MBQJg1GXSIbF-C6Ws.html 💖💐🩰💖💐🩰
@@DansiqueFitness Wow thank you so much!! Im so excited to do those aswell. You really are a beautiful gracefull dancer, hope one day I can dance like you.
This might be a stupid question but will this work for someone who wants to shed weight? Or should it be for keeping in shape once the weight is lost? I'm more inspired to do this than other workouts haha
ANY form of exercise can help you lose weight! As long as you are burning more calories than you're in taking. If you enjoy the Ballet inspired workouts, then stick with those! It helps when you enjoy your exercises! xoxo
I don't take Ballet at all but I feel really good about this video! 😂 (Will update after I finish workout) Edit/Update: I'm tired but it was great! I feel one step closer to being a ballerina! 😂💪🏾💯🥰
Hi Desiree, I want to tell you that I have been doing splits for quite a long time. (Side Splits or Front Splits) But my legs are never as straight as yours and middle splits are still not my Cup Of Tea. I know that it takes time and patience to get it right and I can't ask you to do some magic. But it's just that mine is not as perfect as yours.... But still you are as graceful dancer as anything....
Arunima Saha Thank you so much for your kind words. You’re right, be patient and it’ll happen. If you haven’t already, please try incorporating these two workouts into your weekly routine...the first one is specifically for Splits, and the second one is for overall flexibility. Stay consistent with these workouts and your muscles will loosen up! I promise! Xoxo 😘💕 ua-cam.com/video/wkOz6dsOHC0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/sGn9AQK7OPQ/v-deo.html

Eu não gostei e sério eu não gostei
This really made me feel as if my dance teacher was being nice for once, it really made me miss my old ballet lessons! Thank you : )
You're so welcome!
I haven’t done ballet in years but this truly was everything and inspired me to go back to the studio again :) thank you!! i love your grace.
Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰

Love your workout. Is there any chance of adding ballet music?
This is an older video…my more recent ballet workouts have music! ua-cam.com/play/PL0YU1wINOkaevXm3MBQJg1GXSIbF-C6Ws.html 💖💖💖
Thanks for this! Great work 👌
how many calories does this workout burn?
I found myself doing a reverence during your outro 😂 I guess some ballet class habbits die hard!
rose/rose Haha! Good for you! Nothing wrong with ending your workouts with a good old reverence! 🧡🧡🧡
Sammmeeeeee XD
You're a real ballet dancer, and not some "Ballet Barre In Motion Fitness Instructor," or whatever those fakers are called. I can tell by your coordination, your carriage, the way you hold your arms and articulate your feet.
Aves Raggiana Haha! Thank you for noticing! Yes, I am a real former professional ballet dancer! 😘💕💐💜 Thank you for your love and support! Xo
Agreed!!

That's great! xoxo
Like what Maria-Christina Mantelou said below, exercising with Desiree is to exercise for the pure pleasure of it.
🥰🥰🥰
That moment when you get more of a workout in a fifteen minute video than actual ballet class...
I always seem to be saying thank you, so I'll be unoriginal and say thank you again. :D Seriously, this is great.
Beth Farrell Awww you’re so sweet! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your love & support Beth! Xoxo 💕💜💕💜💕💜
