Basic Ballet Barre

Ballet, I've missed you for so long.... Thank you for the video, I'm trying to get back into Ballet after my grandpa died a year ago. All I did was dance for him, I danced for him my entire life whether it was Michael Jackson or to something that had a nice rhythm, I would dance. He would always smile and laugh and tell me how much he loved me and my sister. It's been a long time since I took a ballet barre class. A year ago at my old school before my grandpa passed, they had a dance class and I always showed up for Ballet class, disliked Hip Hop and Modern but Ballet stuck. After class I approached my teacher and asked how can I strengthen my arabesque and did one for her and she was amazed. She said I had a higher arabesque than she did and she was a higher up in her company. She saw potential in me and tried to get me in enrolled in the rock school of dance, I was 14 turning 15 in a few months(about 7 months pf training myself vigorously, day in day out). To sum up the story, I chickened and well never called her, she was going to give me free ballet lessons and get me on pointe befoee the year was out so I can join the rock school(where she worked). I don't regret my decision because when my grandpa died I... well, rebelled and didn't do ballet. Then, I found Blogilates and Fitness Blender and now and I'm doing it for me. But I've been going back and forth and I don't really have thw motivation to do it or try back to get into it, thanks to ur video I can do that.

Wishing you the best in your journey!

Hi there! Random question, but how big is the piece of wood you're dancing on? I'm looking to make a mini floor and barre setup just like this, and wondering what size you use, and if you think it's enough room. Thanks so much for your time!

this video was very helpful! I am 28 and have gotten back into dance after a very long absence. This at home bar helps me keep up my technique when I can't make it to the studio. I am a medic in the Army and my weekly schedule is never the same. I am in the studio about 2 a month, so being able to do stuff at home is very helpful.

I just discovered your channel. Thank you so much for all of your work in putting this together. My roots are ballet and I danced until I was in my 30's. I'm rediscovering ballet again thanks to you.

[@BallerinasByNight]

We are so happy to hear that! Welcome back to the barre! :)

[@kristalallen2131]

Abby, this bar is great! The frappe placement of the foot helped me feel my turnout and correct position front side and back. I also liked the fondue breakdown, using coupe and attitude to help both legs extend and straighten at the same time. Thank you so much for your expertise and for making the barre exercises.

[@BallerinasByNight]

I'm so glad to hear this feedback! Thank you, and I'm glad it helped you!

[@paulawhittaker9021]

This is such a great class for me! I use this to keep me fresh between my regular classes!

[@BallerinasByNight]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@Lilmissbricks]

Thank you so much for this video. I was desperately craving some barre after *years* away from it and this was the perfect intro. My heart is full, you’re amazing. Thank you!

[@BallerinasByNight]

That means the world to me! Thank you!!!

[@ewkamarchewka9568]

Love your basic barre! I only take class once a week so it's nice to get good instruction for practice at home. Thank you!

[@BallerinasByNight]

Yay! Thank you!

[@paulawhittaker9021]

Thank you so much for providing super clear instructions for technique! I'm 43 and haven't done ballet since I was 14!

[@youtendu892]

Wonderful! Thank you so much. I'm glad it has helped you!

[@KatieIbsen]

Thank you for the great video! I'm trying to get back to dancing after fracturing my kneecap three years ago and this was good to warm up and test my ability at the moment!

[@BallerinasByNight]

So glad! Thank you!!

I skipped ballet class today because of a cold and found this video very instructive and awesome! Keep up the amazing work!

[@BallerinasByNight]

Comments like this keep us going! Thank you!!!!!

[@jamieallison8583]

I am interested in taking a beginner adult ballet class, but can't find one happening in my area that is when I can get there. I've been using various videos to learn the positions of the arms and feet and have been learning to work through the routines in this video. I am really enjoying myself and do very much want to do a class as soon as I can find one. Thanks so much for your channel! I am sure I'll continue to find this and other videos of yours quite helpful.

[@missellendiane]

[@DorothyCrouch]

Thank you for this!

[@SmileyReilly]

Where did you get your piece of floor from? Looking to put one in my room. Btw I love this channel and all of your videos. They're so encouraging and you both are such beautiful dancers ;)

[@BallerinasByNight]

It's a piece of wood from Lowe's. Cost between $40-$50.

[@kayleighfisk2137]

What is the song called played in the Ron de Jambe exercise? its lovely!

[@BallerinasByNight]

I agree! One of my favorites. It is Scheherazade by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, arranged for ballet class and played by Sarah Lund.

[@bunheadladymelody3355]

This is really a lot of fun

[@BallerinasByNight]
