I didn't mirror the first lesson but fixed it this time around~ Excuse me while I slowly learn how to edit videos. Enjoy!

[@nancyvalente3052]

No worries, Thuan (hope I wrote your name right 🙈🤦‍♀️). Take always your time. But for me, your videos are perfect! Love them all! ♥️🌺🌺🌺

[@BalletMisfit]

Hey Nancy~ No worries, it's not a command name and you got it right :D I'm so glad you are liking the videos. As always, thanks for the nice comments ♥️

[@taurusglare28]

It’s so hard to find a teacher who understands older beginners, and you do a great job. I’m almost 48, and grateful for the opportunity to learn something new!

[@CarmenTello-s8b]

Me too😊

[@annetterichards5271]

I haven't taken ballet classes since I was a child - your instructional videos are by far the BEST I've found on KZbin. Thank you.

[@lachicadelgorritoazul_7246]

Im 23 and I always dreamed to be a ballerina but i was so cubby growing up and my parents told me I could never do that so they didn't bother to get me classes as I grow up I developed almost an aversion to ballet and whenever I would remember I wanted to be a ballerina I'd burst in tears so today im here learning, healing and beyond grateful for this ❤

[@sparklette1304]

Thats so funny because ive been finding myself doing like little moves from your combinations like when im in the kitchen or like just standing around 😂🥰

[@lilym768]

Me too! I've literally been doing the same thing!

[@tinamariejohnson9574]

sameeeeeee

[@AmericanDivaa]

😂 I’m doing the dishes and doing releves and tendu’s!

[@gastonadrien2692]

You ain’t alone

[@WoodlandMoth]

Me too!!! I thought I was the only one 😆

[@AmericaRocksUrSocks]

This vid was really easy to follow, and reawoke so many memories of ballet class when i was a kid. I’ve been feeling so hopeless about everything in my life lately. Can’t even remember the last time I exercised before this. Your lessons gave me a reason to get up and moving today. thank you!

[@angelickrol7701]

Thank you for making the shorter version of the workouts so we don’t have to fast forward through the instructions when/if we get the hang of it. 😊 shows a true teacher’s heart. Just found your channel and I love it. Always wanted to take ballet lessons. I am sixty and now I am ❤

[@Ayoo_toxicLover]

I am just turned 14, and I decided to make a new habit, I am so interested in ballet, and I heard that ballet has so many benefits, so I started learning, and this video help me so much thank you 😊 ☺️

[@kattiecrafter6949]

Thank you so much for this video! I want to start ballet but I’m only 16 and cannot take any beginner classes anymore. I found your channel and decided that I will teach myself, and I am loving it so far! You can start anything at any age, just put in the effort!

[@brielle3071]

this is exactly what i’m doing!

[@regrettablestitches]

A lot of colleges and universities offer beginning ballet classes to non-majors! If you find yourself in such a place in the next couple of years, it is definitely worth it to take one :)

[@yoonniemin6438]

Ayo 16 gang! Wooh this made my legs wobble and my forehead break out in a sweat but the accomplishment I felt when I finished this is worth it, good luck to the both of us and to anyone else on this journey! XOXO 🫂❤️

[@Ri-cl7go]

Me toooo!

[@Whoville3]

it takes some research but there are definitely some dance schools that offer adult begginers ballet classes as well as other styles of dance. Some schools have more kids classes offered with one or two recreational adult classes and some dance schools are completely adult based. I think it really depends on the area your from and the location as it depends what schools are in that area. I also find bigger cities tend to be more likely to have more options in terms of schools. Where I am from in Western Mass, there is a school completely for adults with begginer contemporary and ballet classes offered and then other schools in the area have more kids classes with one or two adult begginers classes. Also, there is some schools that are just ballet based vs a school that has other styles available too. Really depends what your looking for, but look at me I'm 25 and I am just getting started in dance now, i danced very little in my life, 16 looks good compared to that. I shouldn't compare because anybody of any age can dance if you have that dream and goal, but i think at 16 your in a great place if your motivated and you have a lot of resources at your disposal :)

[@mzfrizzle1794]

I love that there is the lesson with the explanations and a separate video for practicing, thank you!!

[@artemisiawhite9293]

I love the fact that your attitude is so positive and laid back, despite the difficulty of the discipline. This gives motivation! Thank you for your lesson

[@7a4hothu17]

Today mark the day i start studying ballet from your video (and i’m so happy about that so thank you so much!!!). I’ve loved ballet since i was a child but my family didn’t allow me to take courses so i decide to learn from your vid along with stretching myself too!!! So sad that i’m SOOOO inflexible but i will work hard every day🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for making these super easy-to-follow video, you are my very first ballet teacher❤❤❤

[@LysGartis]

I followed this class today to get myself back in shape. I haven't danced in a couple of week and, at almost 40 years old, I get rusty very quickly! Thank you so much for this!

[@bctope-ojo4581]

My favorite parts of this video: • My toes cracking during petals • “Large diamond… large diamond!” 😂 (it’s actually very helpful for me) • Developpes - I like holding, feeling, and adjusting at each point (Developpes ARE fun!) •Pretty much any move to the derrière Least favorite: Relevés and Elevés at the end, the balls of my feet be BURNING 😆

[@bunnyw-ic3kq]

Same haha😂

[@AmericanDivaa]

Those ending releves still kick my tail in… 😅 I can manage 4-6 on each foot, my legs burn so much!

[@ZanneKamp]

Thank You for these classes! They help me understand/and get physically ready for my in-person adult ballet classes which are fast paced and I am not trained for. You break it down and make it easy to understand so I'm not quite as terrible. Thank you so much!

[@silviavinao]

I'm an adult ice skater and in ice skating camp we did some ballet classes which I definitely COULDN'T follow.... Started to day with this video and it was amazingly explained and easy to follow. Got my muscles sore!! For next skating camp I'm absolutely gonna see the difference! Thanks:)

[@kirstie.k]

Wonderful beginners video, and I liked the length. Did this with my 10-year-old daughter and we enjoyed it, thank you!

[@CxmyVs]

It feels so good to get to the "Congrats! You are done" part

[@user_curiosity]

Thank you so much! I've been dealing with depression and severe foot pain, so I've barely been active for over 10 years. When I finally tried to start exercising, it was difficult to go out where people gather, and it was boring too. But now I can try beautiful ballet at home with a great teacher, one step at a time, and I love it! I feel close to you because of your friendly and cheerful demeanor, and I'm happy I can learn comfortably. I'm really grateful! ❤🙏

[@michellemcdaddie1704]

Can’t wait to do this tomorrow! You make amazing videos and they are really helpful. Thank you !!❤️

[@BalletMisfit]

Thank you, that's so sweet of you to say :) You are so welcome!

[@stoconnor3517]

Totally new to ballet. You make it so easy to follow. Love your attitude and videos. Please keep going ! Thank you

[@maplebard1684]

Thank you for a wonderful workout. I did this more for fitness than for wanting to be a dancer myself. I feel like jelly.

[@Lmnaop]

I took ballet at 5, showed a lot of promise but mom never had the time or money for another season. Ive been trying to find cheap ways to stay active and be a bit more disciplined since graduating college (no more free gym). Thank you for these videos! I am not willing or able to buy pointe shoes and will be doing this barefoot in my garage along with other dance workouts!!

[@francesmeza6369]

Thank you so much for making ballet accessible to all! I did ballet as a teen when all our choreography was done to Spice Girls. LOL. I didn't want a completely beginner class and this was great! I will be using all of your classes. I hope you are able to keep this up... I know it takes time and effort and I appreciate it.

[@ashleyylo]

Love this!!! Thanks so much for all you do!!! Your videos are the only ones I’ve found that I truly enjoy and can follow along with!

This is great! I'm practicing with your video everyday, thank you so much for sharing your experience and passion for ballet with us

Excellent great !!! And with Piano Music, I love that !!! Continue please I really loved doing this 😊

[@sthgamingnetwork8317]

I did the first lesson all of the way through, and I struggle with my left hip and knee popping out of place, but I did surprisingly well! :D my cat was messing with me the entire time, and so that was silly. Thanks for making this series, I’ve always been drawn to dance, especially ballet. But I’ve always been afraid of doing it, more for asking my parents to pay a billion dollars to go to a class… Thank you SOOO MUCH!!!

[@joqatana]

I haven’t taken class since the 90s and just got diagnosed with osteoporosis and barre is the perfect exercise for this! My brain remembers and my body is catching up, thanks to much yoga. So what if I can’t develope higher than my waist.

[@torquoiseangelfox]

I already did this (the long video) two times. Now I want to do that video another two times and then continue with the same pattern for the next lessons, until I start real ballet class, probably in January.

[@hadasitalki7247]

thank you dear Thuan! 💕💪

[@esstown]

I believe the "coupe" exercise you showed is correctly termed cou de pieds. I believe that coupe is a step where one foot replaces the other, commonly done to the cou de pieds position, hence the confusion often times. Unless maybe you're in a different system from what I'm used to, with different terminology.

[@MrsAChery]

Hi!! I’m flirting with the idea of jumping into ballet as an adult and was so happy to have found your videos! Question: How many times should I do a video before moving on the the next one?

[@walking_pinay]

I'm practicing the videos, though I'm just about 2 months into this and not continuous because I sprained my ankle recently, and I only did up to half of this video as of now. My opinion on your question is that you should move forward with another exercise if you feel that your body is already adjusting to the movements, e.g. I was always falling off balance in the plié exercise, so I practiced that one a lot before I moved on to tendu.

[@crazy_icecream1234]

hello, this is a bit late but incase you are still doing it, in the FAQ video that she posted she said 2-3 times

[@neyshanichole2062]

How many time do you recommend I do a lesson before moving onto the next one?

[@crazy_icecream1234]

2-3 times

[@senna5499]

I didn't dance for a long time because i had a broken foot. Now i'm starting again i did half of the class but in a few days i want to try the whole class

[@rina9210]

thank you so much for this, your explanation was very clear, i love it:) i have just one question (i don't really expect an answer as you've added this video quite a while ago, but!): when i make poses such as developpe, my supporting foot keeps turning to the front - should I work on stretching my feet more, or is it something with core engagement/strength?

[@gitasong]

You need to work on your turnout muscles, which are in your glutes!

[@madansharma7181]

Why is she so underrated

[@jessicalee548]

Going back through them all with only the combinations to see how well I can do them then on to the next level!

[@viaazx69]

ugh my dance studio is so toxic and i had to quit for myself, im so glad this exists and i dont have to be around people

[@C1nnam0n.girl_]

I'm not an absolute begginer but I loved it! Really helps on balance and build strength

[@strawberyfield]

i will repeat this training several days before going on to the second lesson. It is difficult the" relevé plié'" on one leg

[@creativelearning2534]

hey your video is too good .i am waiting for lesson 2.

[@amyjaworski1768]

Hi! New to your channel , what is your recommendation for each video, should it be practiced 2-3 xs per week before moving on to the next video?

[@lukeschoen6951]

This video was perfect for my 3 year old daughter to follow along to to use her first pair of ballet shoes. Instead of the horizontal bar we got her to lean on the back of a small chair instead

[@babytiwaritiwari3752]

I have doubt please do answer. Is it normal for you to feel a little hard to point your toes after finishing feet exercises. Like i can still do it but after the exercise it takes more force is that normal? I am a beginner and your lessons are really helpful.

[@gitasong]

Yes!! It takes years to build up all the tiny little intrinsic muscles of the feet. Muscle fatigue is a real thing when you're new. Just take it slow, take breaks and rest, and gradually, over time, you'll feel those muscles strengthening.
