[@monicatz334]

These are the best ballet videos ever! The routine, the music, the elegance...thank you so much Desirée for offering such high-quality teaching on KZbin!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much! I hope you can join my live online ballet classes sometime! www.dansique.com/find-a-class 💖💖💖

[@mischum2915]

Omg, these ballett exercises are the best, thank you

[@DansiqueFitness]

I’m so glad you enjoyed this class! 💖🥰🩰🧚🏼‍♀️

[@hulasantabarbara2719]

I agree, best ever. I make this an annual tradition for the month of December. Still just following your videos because of current physical limitations I am sure I look like Lucille Balls comedic version, but I can dream can't I? So lovely, thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@DansiqueFitness]

I’m so glad you enjoy it! It’s the perfect way to get in the holiday spirit! 💖💖💖

[@anthonymarinucci325]

Ugh. You're so my favorite! I could just sit watch without participating, you're so lovely!

Wonderful! Thank you so much for your love and support! xoxo

I'm so happy I found this! I haven't been exercising during COVID until now. I don't like most dance videos, but this brought me back to my ballet classes as a child. I love it! And I feel elegant doing it and not like a bouncing slob (as with more regular dance exercise videos). Thank you, Dansique!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Yayyy I'm so happy you found this video too! Please check out my BALLET playlist for more fun ballet routines! Thank you for your love and support. xoxo kzbin.info/aero/PL0YU1wINOkaevXm3MBQJg1GXSIbF-C6Ws

This is perfect! Will be trying it out today 😄

[@DansiqueFitness]

Yayyy! Let me know how it goes! 🥰🥰🥰

[@ijwd424]

@@DansiqueFitness wow I really loved this workout! It was perfect for beginners but also challenging enough it to not get boring 😄 will definitely do this a few more times! My beginner classes are finished for this term so I'll have to practice more at home ☺️ By the way, I noticed that my right knee hurts a little bit when doing grand battement (especially to the side). Should I close my turnout or kick my leg up a bit lower?

[@DansiqueFitness]

IJ WD I’m so glad you really enjoyed this one. I strive to make all of my workouts fun and approachable yet challenging at the same time. I always want my followers to feel like they can go back and repeat my workouts over and over again...so thank you for saying that! 🥰 As far as your knee goes...your right knee hurts when you’re kicking it or when you’re standing on it and kicking the left leg? Let me know and I’ll tell you what you can do! 💖😉

[@ijwd424]

@@DansiqueFitness it hurts mostly when I'm kicking it! I would ask my ballet teacher too but it's a bit late now 😅 thank you so much!

[@DansiqueFitness]

IJ WD Okay, no problem! My guess is that you’re gripping your quad muscle when kicking your leg. Sometimes when the quad is gripping or it’s tight, it pulls on the knee and can be painful. Be mindful when lifting your leg (regardless of the position) and think of lifting from the inner thigh and hamstring (the back of the leg)...this should take the pressure off your quad and hopefully alleviate your knee pain. Of course lowering your leg and making sure you aren’t forcing your turnout is also something to consider. Hope this helps! Xo

[@tabathalomas7128]

Loved this one!!! Thank you!

[@shanaburton4527]

Hi Desiree, thank you so much for this. Since it looks like we’ll be stuck inside for a while, would you be able to do a ballet barre video for those with limited space? I cannot grand battement forward, sideways and backwards in my flat. I have to quickly manoeuvre my chair to kick sideways and then move it back to go backwards. A video where forward and back are separate from sideways would be a huge help. Thank you and hope you’re well!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you for your love and support! Yes, I plan on making a bunch of new Ballet videos...and I'll keep your suggestion in mind! Sending light and love. xoxo

My pleasure!

[@JM-de2gd]

Really appreciated this class. It was at a pace I could keep up with what activity we were doing while also keeping me moving. Thank you! A quick question that I am not sure about, how wide is 2nd position, is it just whatever feels right or is there a specific placement?

[@DansiqueFitness]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I think second position will vary based on someone’s height and leg length…but it’s usually about 2 foot lengths (YOUR foot lengths) apart! Please check out my beautiful BALLET COLLECTION on my new platform - I think you’ll love it so much!!! www.dansique.com/on-demand 🥰💖🩰🧚🏼‍♀️

[@rajbabbar4828]

I have a question .....in the second degages exercise the degages have accent in or out?

[@DansiqueFitness]

Facing the barre with feet in first? Accent is in. 👍🏼

[@rajbabbar4828]

@@DansiqueFitness Yes facing the barre . Okay Got it ! Thank You !

[@teresavalenza9609]

Ahh I love your ballet barre videos

[@DansiqueFitness]

When you’re in a tendu, the toes should be connected to the floor, however there shouldn’t be any weight on the toes…all the weight should remain on your supporting foot. Please check out my BALLET MEMBERSHIP…I have many classes and tutorials where I talk about these important technical details that every dancer should know! 🧚🏼‍♀️ app.arketa.co/dansique/on-demand

Was thinking you were in the Balanchine system - and then the frappes came, lol.
