I'm 54 and will be starting ballet classes next year. Have NEVER done it before , but am completely excited to learn...😊😊😊

[@cherish867]

I have taken about 10 ballet lessons as an adult. Five with one teacher, and five with another teacher. They were supposed to be to beginning classes. But both of them were just teaching steps in order to do a dance routine. I wanted to learn all the movements, so I can become more flexible, and more graceful. I wanted to learn the way as if I was three years old and didn’t know anything, because I didn’t. But they both taught me as though I would remember everything upon one hearing. Each time they would both say we talked about this last week or we learned that two weeks ago. I couldn’t even remember the first thing about it because the whole vocabulary is foreign to me. So very frustrating. Glad to find you. Thanks.

[@destinypointer9069]

I have always had a fascination for ballet since I was 4 and I really regret not starting earlier when I had the chance. My father never had the money and refused to help me enroll, but now I’m taking my life in my own hands as a 23 year old and this will be the start of my dream life. 🎉❤

[@jh_sports]

This comment made me smile so much… all the best for you❤️ when you look back at it next year you‘ll be amazed how far you have come already

[@velmariemerced6678]

I was a dancer my who life, but when I was 12, my parents went through a financial crisis and me, being the youngest of three, was the one who suffered the exit from my ballet classes. I always wanted to be a Rockette...jajaja After I had my daughters, I started again with Flamenco, Belly Dancing, Ballet.....So, I understand how you feel. I am now 53 and still dance just because it is something that resides so deep within us that we just cannot stop. I am still fit because of it, and hope to continue doing it for long time to come.

[@methoogunathilake5908]

@@velmariemerced6678 I also had to stop ballet when I was 12 due to the same reason. I'm 19 now and hoping to start again. I always felt like I was too late to start. will I be able to do it?

[@phoenixreborn6194]

same it also started from watching tv shows when I was 4 my cake topper was a ballerina, so that is when I really want to learn ballet, my mom was about to enroll .e but when she asked me I said no(i was a very shy child) so she didnt push me to go.... 20 years after i'm still regretting it... hopefully this year i can start ballet classes already ( i have to move place because there is mo dance school in my area) but for now Im practicing and focusing on flexibility and strength :)))

[@elizabethlafleur3267]

Same here! I’m 19 and I can finally afford to invest in my own classes

[@echobeachpeach767]

I'm 63 (soon to be 64) and was kicked out of ballet at age 7 because I was "a little dumpling; not at all a swan" along with nastier words. I went into Highland dancing, which I didn't like. I flirted with ballet over the years, and today, I'll be taking this class. I'll update my comment once I've finished the class 😊

[@Izabela-ek5nh]

Have you not finished yet? 😅 I am afraid to start, seems complicated! I'd love to know how it went for others first

[@tararenner235]

I'm in my 50's, overweight and I haven't danced ballet for 30 years. I loved it so much as a young person, and allowed life to get in the way of continuing. I do yoga regularly, but decided to re-learn some ballet. Wow, I had forgotten how much muscle and balance this dance requires. Somehow it seemed so much easier in my 20's lol. Thanks for getting me back on track; I hope to continue practicing and getting my form back.

[@AmeeraG242]

I'm 31 after 2 babies and same for me I use to dance often as a younger person both ballet, jazz , country and ballroom and I feel as though I have never danced. The more we begin again though I believe our bodies will remember our body is amazing praising God that we are still able to learn and grow at any age

[@joannawatts6008]

So glad to see your comment. I’m in exactly the same position. In my early 50s and want to get back to dance. Glad I’m not alone :-)

Lol. Let's see . . . It was about 1982 or 3. So, we are actually worse than absolute beginners! 😊 They have a future, and growth potential. We have life altering injury and joint replacements. 😅

Wow. So glad to see your comment. I’m in the same situation. I figured if I’m gonna get back into regular movement it should be something I love! Happy dancing.

I'm 14 and I use to do dance but quit at 7. So I've spent the last 7 years regretting and wondering why I quit since I love ballet, but I'm changing my attitude I won't stop at any cost to become a dancer!

I got bored with my exercises. Decided to try ballet. After this, I can feel how everything is working. Your personality makes it even better. This was amazing.

I swear. Ballet is the most positive dance. It's all about softness. About grace and that's why I love ballet so much❤. Especially this ballet music is so beautiful. It's so perfect for my personality because I always enjoy being positive about everything. I enjoy softness and ballet is all about that❤.

I never had the opportunity to take ballet classes as a child, even though it was a big dream of mine. Thank you for putting out your videos. They're incredibly fun for people like me 💕🤗

[@iamsevenm]

I didn't plan on doing this today nor did I plan on learning ballet I just came to watch it for fun and I am far from being a ballerina but for some reason, I got my butt up and just followed everything from this video like I was learning a real ballet class and I actually love everything of it! Normally I am sooo lazy and sooo unmotivated to work out but this THIS THIS helped me get up. Thank you for this video! I finally found something I love that won't make me back down! This was my first time doing ballet (well since my mom tried to make me a ballerina when I was 2) and definitely NOT my last time! Will definitely do another one tomorrow!

[@awesomesauce23]

I've been doing ballet for 3 years in a local studio, but I find it very helpful to go back to basics every now and then to really build my technique. This was very helpful to review basic technique of things you sometimes forget about! I'm a teen beginner, not an adult beginner, but it's still very helpful.

[@Tanya-sc4zz]

I'm in my 50's, overweight and struggling health-wise--PCOS, Type 2 diabetic and other issues. I'm changing my eating habits and incorporating exercise (cardio, strength training)into my schedule. I've always wanted to do ballet but dance lessons are a luxury when you're being raised and supported by a single mom. I'd like to incorporate ballet into my routine even if it's from my own living room: it just seems so elegant, peaceful and hopefully help with my flexibility. I just hope at this stage in life I can do it. ❤

[@danielagelhornhiremagalur6891]

I always wanted to do Ballet, but my family could never afford it when I was a kid, im so grateful for this video

[@SynnJynn]

I really wanted to do ballet. When I was around 8, my Mom decided to let me take classes, but when I got there, I wouldn't go in. I was too scared... story of my life. Fear stopping me from doing things. I am looking forward to this in the privacy of my home ^-^

[@Celine-XD]

same!

[@Purpeil]

I'm an adult...and admittedly I'm very overweight, lacking in coordination and flexibility, and I take a while to learn things. My first try with this wasn't the best, but I still had fun! I had to give up after exercise 3 (I went back to the 1st exercise instead) since my balance and coordination are so bad that I was close to falling a few times. But I'm sure that I'll get better at it with time and practice, so for now I'm sticking to the barre exercises to build up some strength and to get more familiar with all the movements. Thank you for making this so fun and for giving such good explanations! They really helped me a lot and while I can't keep up just yet, I'm positive it won't be long until I can!

the beginner classes I'm doing right now, she doesn;t have us do any bar work,,,she is having us do a whole dance routine , which is fun but I would like to do what you did in this video to start off then go in that direction,,, when you have had no ballet training and trying to right away do routines, Its pretty tough,,,, Wish I had you in my area to take your classes LOL

[@royaldramaandbsbrock]

I always wanted to be a ballerina ever since I was a little girl but I thought it was something that you learned when you got older, like any other career. Had I known that you need to learn from a very young age, I would've probably told my mom to enroll me in classes. Now, after watching the first few minutes of this video I feel inspired to finally try it out. I'm obviously never going to be professional dancer, but I'll get a little taste of what that's like 😊

[@SOMETHINGTOSLOW]

Thank you for this video! As someone who used to do ballet and contemporary when I was younger but had to stop due to chronic illnesses in my late teens/early 20s, I really appreciate how easy you broke down all the steps and fundamentals 💚🌿

[@salmon_sachimi]

I've always loved how you teach with imaginary visuals since I'm an artist I really appreciate it! I fractured my foot some time ago and I've always been afraid to learn ballet even though it's always been my dream to. This might just be the year I face my fears!

Thank you for this wonderful lesson! I am 54 and have never had any kind of dance class in my life. I decided to embark on this crazy dream because I lost my fiancé unexpectedly, 2 months ago. I feel like I have to do something completely different to reinvent myself in a way. Going to class gives me the motivation to get out of bed and do something. It has been difficult but my teacher is wonderful and the class is welcoming and encouraging. This video was just what I needed as we are on a holiday break for 2 weeks. Thank you so very much for your wonderful method and encouragement. I will continue to practice with your videos! Love from the mountains of California!

I'm now 30, married with 3 kids and a full-time job, and took my second-first ballet class! I wanted to feel like a child again today. And this did the trick. My passion for beautiful and fun movement of my body to lovely music has been reignited! Thank you, Alessia, for making these beginner-friendly videos.

I was late entering Ballet at age 8, and never got the basics such as flexibility or certain moves. I only done 1 performances which was amazing but later I quit at age 12. I have regretted it but also realise through Lazy Dancer Tips, that my Ballet School was kinda poor.
