5 TIPS for BALANCE. HOW TO balance with Mariinsky ballerina Maria Khoreva

In this video I want to give you guys five of my favorite tips on how to train and maintain your balance in class, during rehearsals and on stage. Balance is one of the most crucial skills for the dancer and I think it really needs to be developped because when you go on stage it becomes very hard for some reason to hold the beautiful pose if you are not 150% confident with it! So hopefully these tips can help some of you with your balancing technique and hopefully you enjoy this video!

I'd love to see exercises to improve standing leg turnout. These tips are mostly new to me and seem to really help!

[@user-ie9wj3ri3z]

I'd love that too!!!

[@susannachi2002]

She already has a video up about turnout!

[@susannachi2002]

@Mila Menkinoska Turnout comes from the rotators and glutes even when you're standing so her exercises would be good either way!

[@carissasmith8322]

I would love if you made a video for getting better feet! i really need it haha

[@Ysaedda]

She actually has a video of exercises for strengthening your feet that I have found really helpful

[@autricereganholdridge4816]

Thank you so much for your helpful videos. 😊 Even if I feel absolutely clumsy when trying to follow your instructions, it really helps, although I know that I'm way too old to become a good dancer. First started with ballet at 20 and had to stop several years later. However, after my cancer diagnosis last year I've decided only to do anymore what I always wanted to and so I'm back with training ballet and just love it!

[@luciagarcia3805]

omg her foot and technique is amazing

[@AmyBrueckman]

My favorite thing a ballet teacher has told me about head positions was to sort of "stick your nose up like you think you're better than everyone" hahahaha

[@kyokyo3554]

Thank you very much for sharing invaluable tips, Maria. I love your loveliness, passion, enthusiasm, and dedication.

[@hiiragihasmanywaifu]

I lose a bit of my balance that's why this is very helpful also Maria's leotard is so gorgeous 😍 and her as well ofc

[@carbonidsolo5479]

9:01-9:03 The body shows a perfect vertical static alinement. foot, knie, pelvis, altlas and head (neck/bun area) are in one line. Thank you Maria :)

[@zixiong681]

hi maria! this was so helpful because when I was applying your tips when trying to balance I really felt like a HUGE difference! before I was kind of wobbly and unstable and couldn't balance for more than 3 seconds but now i feel much more controlled. i never would've thought of these tips myself, but they really do help a lot!! thank you so much I've been really struggling with balance! (by the way can you please consider doing a video on back flexibility or foot flexibility? these are the two weak points of mine haha... thank you so much)

Adorei, muito conhecimento. Sempre assisto seus vídeos. Parabéns!😉

[@amj2742]

Oh my goodness! Lemme tell you...this really works! I'm trying to teach myself ballet, and I could never get my turns due to balance. Literally, one time of trying these tips and I got it! Thank you, this really helped!

[@MissMeadows]

Thank you for very good tips - as usual! When it comes to the neck position, and raising your face a bit, I remember a teacher once described it with the words; "When you dance ballet, it's completely ok to look like you think you're a bit better than everyone else!" XD

[@helenamadeiragiusti6216]

Thank you a lot, Maria! Those tips are amazing! Greetings from Brazil ;)

[@giordanarossetti8445]

Hallo Maria, I follow you since months now for training at the barre, I really like your way of training and teaching. For future videos, I would really appreciate one with a warm-up floor barre. Thank you for sharing your talent and tips!

[@nataschacharliecamen]

Beautiful outfit.......on a beautiful Ballerina!!!!!!!!!!

[@GabbieZAlday]

yes, core work really helps because it builds the strength to engage muscles & pull up making you balance :)

[@XxEvYx]

Thank you so much. I do the 'waltz des heures' tomorrow and we stand a lot croissé on the front leg with our back leg pointed to the back. I kept falling out of this simple position because we do big port des bras in this postion. Your tips helped me with my balance trying it at home (it's past midnight here after a late rehearsal) and I look forward to trying this on stage. You are my hero for this video!!

[@avwel3827]

That leg up...INSANE!!😂😂😍😍

[@mariannestoffers5067]

It a amazing, like even awsome, how technichals aprove and are going on. When I was young the teacher told us very often that we have our shoulder blades together from an ancle, so we had to see this point. We might have legged on our feet together, but of course we never turned out the support for our full foot. I love your Videos.

[@jazhouen2012]

Thank you Maria. It’s very helpful and actually my teacher has been correcting me to improve on the engaging core. I would love to see a video on pirouettes if it is possible

[@angiebogner8136]

These tips are extremely helpful, I was able to pop up onto arabesque releve' immediately with no warm up or hand on the barre.

[@Fortybeauty]

You are a so wonderful pedagogue.

[@user-kk1ec5vl1x]

I always respect you♡♡ Have a nice day~~

[@PL-om2zw]

Thank you so much Maria I've been really excited to work on my balance all the while! Wonder if you could make a workout video solely for balance in the future? :)

[@Amy-mz5mj]

Like your demonstration. Love your leotard. They are so pretty.

[@radiantonion8615]

excellent tips! thanks! the neck tip is interesting because I've seen a lot of guys especially, pulling their chin down and back with neck long (or so it seems) - like Daniil in his turns. Your tip is different and I can see how it actually looks better however.

[@stefanijaserafimova2405]

Hi. I am 12 years old and i dance ballet. To be honest, your advices realy help me 🤩

[@mermer6337]

Your videos are so helpful! I was wondering if you could also do videos on tips for fouette and a la seconde turns. And maybe even tips for leaps because I often find myself struggling with finding what works w/ these haha! Thank you so much! You're amazing!

[@olgashepeleva8981]

Could you do a ballet floor barre video next time, pretty please? I love doing your workouts, but I also need something to work on "ballet muscles". I can't find any decent floor barre gymnastics on KZbin.

[@folkmoreswiftie]

First! This will be so useful! ❤️ Please, do a video about improving pirouettes😊😊

[@herbauxceleste1038]

Gréât vidéo! Would love to see exercices to improve strength for balance

[@xyzxyz-ym8ih]

Maria I think your Chanel Is really complete, It has a lot of videos (so usefull), I think It could be really intereating if you upload a video about caracter dance or contemporary, ir would be greate, or maybe some tags, or a live here in KZbin 😊😊😊😊😊😊 Im your fan, you really inspire myself to continue with ballet, It has been hard months with all this problem of coronavirus, and I've not been able to go back to the academy, and Im working in my house, you're really committed with your chanel and it has really helped me, thank u, greatings from México 😊😊😊😊😊🤩🤩🤩😁😁😁

[@gigibrown7340]

I already commented this on another video but could you do a video on how you and Sofya sew and break in your pointe shoes? You are incredible!

[@giuliannabosco8608]

Tks Maria!! U should do a video about How to improve the en dehor. Kindest regards from Brazil!

[@user-ne7ib2iv3v]

Машенька, привет!!!)))) Сними пожалуйста ролик про использование эластичных ремней при растяжке и у станка🙏😊🌷

[@stardustplayzstories1399]

It is awsome. After your tips I not just improve my balance also my piroutte. Those are my both worst ballet step ever

[@s.7184]

Very helpful! Thank you! Can you please do a pirouette video? I find it very difficult to do.

[@shinobuballet2419]

It’s very halpful ! Thank you so much! 3rd year of vaganova class, there are many frappes, rond de Jambe en lair, in keeping Demi pointe... it’s very difficult of frappe back and Rond in the air , stay on Demi pointe, also preparation of pirouette, long balance from second position or after single pirouette to hold... If you have extra tip for it it would be very appreciate but for now I will try from this video!! Thank you so much!!

[@GPCCkitchener]

When will your book be available in English? I would love to read it!

[@viorica531]

You are beautiful and very generous❣️

Gorgeous leotard!

[@galaxy_kitty2306]

These tips are very helpful. I'm a person who kinda struggles with balance and I'm definitely gonna use these tips. Btw in many videos with tips for ballet people say not to tuck your butt in. My ballet teacher always says to tuck my butt in, but because of these vids, I'm not too sure what to do. What do you think?

[@t_y_p397]

잘 가르치기까지;;; 다 가지셨네;;;

[@GabbieZAlday]

and when doing strength training such as leg/arm/core exercises, try doing it slowly to add resistance. when there is resistance, your muscles build & get even stronger!

[@milangadefaso5325]

Hola🇦🇷

[@κηλικα]

расцветка одежды очень удачная на белом фоне- все акценты на нужный частях тела расставлены :)

[@GabbieZAlday]

stretching regularly before/after a class and workout helps because it loosens up/releases your muscles because when your muscles are so tight/not yet released, you tend to feel so stiff and you have a hard time balancing.

[@momoka1347]

I would like to know where is the leotard from. I loooove it it's so beautiful♥️

[@PeppermintEel]

I think it’s a Maldire leotard - gorgeous

[@momoka1347]

@@PeppermintEel Oh thank you. I will check it😉

[@andrearomanofitaly4115]

I'd propose the 6 th tip: "staying in balance in front of you looking at your eyes for at least 15 minutes" it will be very difficult :)

[@user-xm4oe7bv5z]

Hi Maria:) I've got a question:) is it normal to feel a lot more tension in my body (neck, shoulders, back, hips) when I am doing ballet and after that? How do you release that tension (that I think it's not good to have) on a daily basis? Thank you, greetings from Italy

[@eduardasartorio8932]

1:25 Ik what you mean! For me the most difficult skill to hold on the stage is my balance lmao
