Hey u guys can watch Maria Khoreva’s channel too! Her advices are really good and she is a Vaganova graduated mariinsky theatre first soloist. She is so sweet just like McKenzie. Just want to say it x

[@Sarah-sl5cd]

Same mine was closed too at this time😓but its open now😎💓😊🥰!

[@clary98]

I’m not even a dancer but this is a great idea

[@dwarfler4283]

I needed this! All my classes are cancelled and even Swan Lake!! I'm really sad about it. I love your dancing. Your amazing!❤👍

[@Liviart]

Oh my gosh thank you so much for this! My studio closed down and I haven’t been able to exercise a lot in my tiny house. Definitely using this every day to gain back my unexpectedly lost strength! 💕

[@mizmifloof5758]

Our dance teacher's probably going to do face time for class lol 😂

[@srlvnt3403]

Mizmi Floof we did same :(

[@srlvnt3403]

it wasnt trouble as i thought

[@srlvnt3403]

Sasha Wechsler good luck😊

[@margaret1589]

That’s what we did

[@ennipukkinen721]

Same hahahaha

[@graciesgymnastics4947]

I'm a gymnast and I'm so gonna do this at least once a week to help me technique, Thank you!

[@scarlotte7773]

I never knew gymnasts do ballet barre but ok then. Glad you found this helpful because me too (as a ballerina)!

[@EmmWood91]

@@scarlotte7773 We do, but it's much shorter than your average barre section of a ballet class. It's more like 10 mins at the barre & arms usually only go between 2nd and 4th, but straight arms and gymnastics hands. I do both :)

[@scarlotte7773]

@@EmmWood91 ah ok that sounds interesting. I feel like lots of sports and dances require ballet basics..

[@EmmWood91]

@@scarlotte7773 definitely, all the fine little muscles we use in ballet add that touch of artistry to other dance forms and dance elements within sports like diving or gymnastics. There are even world class football teams who take ballet for quicker feet on the pitch and more agility 😊 Ballet is an incredible thing

[@scarlotte7773]

@@EmmWood91 yeaaaa ballet is amazing. you need endurance, strength, flexibility, agility, precision, coordination, artistry, musicality, and to remember so many moves and terminology and choreography!

[@mattyldae]

tip for beginners: just do the legs with your arms beside your body

[@shivneelprasad7027]

or on your hips! that's how i learned barre without any prior formal ballet training

[@giselle8499]

or with your arms on your shoulders! that’s what we did at the joffrey summer intensive

[@sashadonovan-anns9528]

When you start ballet you have both hands on the barre! It helps keep your posture square and you have less to think about (and you're more stable). Then as we get older we move to one hand on the barre, and as you get more advanced the port de bras gets more attention so there is more to coordinate in an exercise. Of course this works best if the thing you're holding has some room 'underneath' for you to tendu front ! But basically, don't feel bad for finding it hard thinking about the arms and legs together, what you don't see is where ballet dancers start from! Hand on hip is good as it helps remind you to keep your hip in place and your shoulder doesn't tend to lift. Happy dancing xx

[@aubreymadelyn4474]

Our June production might get canceled😭 We were going to do Alice in wonderland and I was going to be Alice and it was the first time I got cast in a lead role like that. I’m really disappointed🥺🥺

[@Idk-kf6nl]

Aubrey Madelyn aww 😭 I hope you work something out!

[@ΦανήΚούρτη-σ6φ]

I understand uuu.... we worked so hard on our choreographies.... I JUST WANT TO PERFORM

[@squidge7698]

Right? I feel you. We were going to do Cinderella in June, and I got cast as the lead. I hope we still get to do it!!

[@Briana-c14]

Aubrey Madelyn that’s such a funny coincidence lol. We have a June production as well and we were doing Alice in Wonderland

[@olivianicol9529]

That’s what’s happening to us right now too q🥺🥺

[@clara_hp6254]

So I dance since I’m four but I never put in mich effort , I just dance for fun. But now while quarantine I realized how important dance is for me so thank you for this . Just one thing this is definitely not absolut beginner . So I can do it but it is challenging for me.

[@avapaskewicz1853]

YAY!!!!!!!! I finally get to have dance class again! Thanks Mackenzie!❤️

[@lindachew3589]

Thank you for this video. There are so many online classes now, but I especially like the way you explain each combination using your hands before you actually do the exercise. Then the 4 sec. break is excellent. Great job.

[@elladonohue]

I do this everyday before dance. Helps with my technique so much!!!

[@annedashwood5619]

Thanks a lotttt Kenzie I do this 3 times a week and I practice turning and leaping 3 days Sunday is my legs hurt so much day! 🤣😂

[@_Memos]

Love this! Great job

[@yoursweetdevilll]

You’re so amazing!! Your technique, your flexibility, the way you dance... I’m really jealous of you (in a good way though) 😊 I’m dancing since I was 4 but I never give enough of me and now I’m really sad that I didn’t try my best. Dance became my passion just 3 years ago but now I’m 18 and... uhh 😕 I have lots of things to change: my technique is not that bad but needs a lot of change plus my biggest problem is... the flexibility 😬 I’m NOT flexible, not even a little bit. Need to change it a lot 😔 I don’t know why I wrote this but I guess I need someone to chat with. I will practice with this video and I will try my best. I’m glad that you are here for the dancers who are out there like me. You give me inspiration and motivation to dance, thank you a lot! 💕

[@kristin9563]

Same here 😬

thank u sooooo much for this!!!!

[@AndrezaOliveiraVlog]

Thank you, i love it❤

[@studybug5189]

Awesome and helpful video Kenzie! My one suggestion is maybe slow the combinations just a tad? I feel like I'm rushing a bit and doesn't leave as much time for stretching and artistry. Love the video, please make more!!

[@definitelynotninaa]

My studio is closed (I'm in the intermediate pre-Pointe) so thank you for posting this, I'm doing my online class once a week and this once a week. I'm hoping this will help me maintain and improve technique, and flexibility (the latter of which I'm lacking in, but I'm working on it). PS I had to take the frappés (spelling??) down to .75x speed because it was too fast for me lmao

[@brendaswanson6629]

👏🏻🙋‍♀️👏🏻🙈👏🏻👏🏻 Yes girl I’ve been waiting for you to do this I need you!!!!!!!!!

[@abigailstachour8665]

My 2nd year dancing and I’m already flat turned out

[@liggy2746]

Do you think you could do one of these for Pointe class?

[@catefiori4273]

PLSSS DO MORE OF THESE LYSMM

[@kaitlyn3692]

OMG thank you so much!!! dance is canceled all this week and a lot of my dance competitions 😢😭

[@deathdropaldc4799]

I needed this, thank you! ❤️

[@camembertfanpage]

I'm not even a dancer but I tried it out nevertheless. Dang, it's even harder than it looks! xD I got so confused about the terms because my French obviously is even poorer than I thought. I did everything wrong and I couldn't rise my leg up half the way of yours but I had fun anyway! So thanks for putting this out here!

[@rebeccaturochy]

THANK YOU!

[@giovannaperazolo7674]

Absolutely loved it, please make more! I would just appreciate if the combinations were a hair slower though lol

[@Anastasia-fj2zi]

My dance teacher has a youtube channel where she's posting barre/warm-ups and also choreography for each class each week until we go back. Hopefully, when we go back everyone will know the choreography and just have to worry about places, then we can still have our June performance. We are doing Sleeping Beauty, the Greatest Showman, and Hello Dolly.

[@lydia369]

Kinda early! I love these types of videos!

[@coralinelover247]
