[@karenlaux4554]

Thank you - I'm an adult wanna be ballerina and your videos are so much fun! I have a lot work to do with both balance and strength )

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Good luck with your ballet Karen! :)

I know this is an old video, but that weight slightly forward if you don't have 180 degree turnout as an adult dancer just WORKED MIRACLES for me! I just balanced in passé for at least 10 seconds, which is amazing for me! Thank you!!!!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing🙏🏽

[@Sabrina-in2ys]

I always struggled with that forward part at the beginning. Thank you for describing and showing what is meant. I finally understood 😊

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

You're very welcome! It took me so long to understand it too! :)

My balancing got a lot better when I started doing rétiré from sous-sous in the center. So, fifth position, sous-sous, and then lift one foot, first to coupé, then higher. At first there was a lot hoolahoopig and using my working foot as counter balance for me, but this whole fighting to stay up, undigninfied as it may look, strengthens your muscles and also trains your sense of balance. Also, it teaches you that balancing isn't a static thing but that you're constantly correcting slightly. Balancing at the bar kinda set me up for failure since there I held on until I felt balanced, and then I let go and tried to freeze my posture with the result that I tilted and had to grab for the bar again.

Thank you so much Ms Natalie I need strong inspirations lecturesbon balancing.I'm starting ballet. Contemporary ballet.

[@jackytoska1471]

This was super helpful. I've never been super great at balancing and I've always been working on it but I need to put the hustle on getting better balance because I have 8 weeks to qualify for my next advancement and one of the qualities I have to have is being able to hold all my balances for 32 counts. I'm practicing and watching balance videos like crazy

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Wow 32 counts is a lot! That's really impressive! Glad my video could help a bit! :)

[@evelina.episodes]

Really helpful! I saw instant results when I applied the weight placement tip. Thank you.

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing 🥳⭐️

[@masterwarden2827]

Can't wait to try out holding my weight slightly forward. I have very strong ankles, I can balance in most releve positions, but passe releve has ALWAYS been such a struggle and I've never been able to figure out why. Definitely trying this later!

[@waynecai6785]

I love how you’ve cut your tights to make your favourite kind of dance shorts! I’d never need to do that here in the UK but I guess in Madrid it’s a must! ☀️ Also your leotard is bloody stunning, where is it from? 🥰

[@mistycupcake2921]

I struggle with center for years but amazing in barre so I need to work on center 😭

[@alyssarosengard6674]

[@shippermd]

Very helpful!! Thank you!!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

So happy it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)

[@89Luise89]

Hey, thank you so much!! Could you do something about strengthening exercises for legs muscles? So how to improve them...also basic exercises with barre, weights, or whatever you know and thinks better...thanks again :)

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

hello! I have quite a few workout videos on my other channel Natalie Danza. I'll see about making a video on leg strength specifically for ballet. My main tip would be to work hard in your ballet class and always push yourself because you will definitely get stronger legs if you so that! :)

[@michellelindemann9946]

THANK YOU 🙏 another WONDERFUL video, I appreciate it very much! I feel like I could dance on the world stage when I do your videos. I feel so HAPPY, FREE and TOTAL BLISS😀☺️. THANK YOU SO MUCH, I AM VERY GRATEFUL🥰. XX

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thank you so much for your lovely words Michelle! :)

[@Rxsqlie]

Thank you so much, this video was really helpful! Though I'm still struggling on balancing in releve on one leg since it has always been my problem. Is there a way to improve?

[@jane_edits13.]

Hello! I did watch the video and I have been able to hold the passe on releve enough for double but I seem to fall out of it. I am unsure if it has been stated in the video but I do not know why I still fall out of the turns and my position that I have been practising nearly everyday. I can't seem to hold the position when I am turning. Does anyone have any tips to help me? Thanks!

[@lunarrose9290]

What are your tips or advice for people woth scerliosis as this can affect our posture

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

My advice is not to strive for perfection but to do your best to keep improving day by day however you can hike listening to your body and taking care of yourself 🙏🏽

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

*by listening

[@ashlynhatch3989]

This was so helpful! But I was also wondering if you could make any video that would help a beginner. I am 12 and I just was able to start ballet because I didn't have enough money before. Now I need as much help as possible to improve. Thanks!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Hi Ashlyn. All my videos are made with beginners in mind so I hope some of them will be helpful for you! Good luck with your ballet :)

[@JediFight]

I’m here watching this to think about how balance applies to baseball hitting.

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Love that! Hope you found something helpful!
