Not too many center combinations out there for small spaces. I learned from this and enjoyed it!

You're awesome, thanks! :)

[@GS-ys3xv]

@Angel Ahmad why are y’all even doing that?! Isn’t that kind of an invasion of privacy 😅

[@gscl]

I used to take ballet as a teenager, but stopped for a few reasons... Didn't want anything to do with dance for the past 10 years ish, but woke up this morning with a hankering to dance again. This was juuust challenging enough that I want to return to it and maybe even polish. Thanks for a great class/walk down memory lane. :)

FAVORITE!! These days I am loving the short and effective videos. It seems a little daunting when I see 80-90 minute classes or 40 minute barres and I'm just not sure if I'm feeling it that day, but would like full-body movement (I get pissed when I want to quit by barre ronde de jambe). But I see 15-20 minute "express" videos and think "heck yeah, I can do that!" and then just layer in something else if I feel like doing more. Those are the ones I do over and over.

[@Bones09990]

Your silhouette is stunning. 😍♥️ Thank you for uploading, I’ve never had the money to take classes as a kid and these videos that people are releasing during quarantine are helping me live the experience.

[@hilaryvilleneuve1976]

Loved it. Senior dancer (very senior) but so much fun

[@beatricelavigne5338]

Love this ballet center, since we’re stuck in our house, because of quanrantine!👍

[@BallerinasByNight]

Yay for dancing in small spaces!

[@BallerinasByNight]

But still dancing!!

[@jorgecodazzi1]

Excellent movements for beginners, Congratulations, Very clear your explanation. Best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentuna.

[@FionaJaneWeston]

The perfect level when you haven't done a ballet class in 3 years! Great, especially stuck inside, thank you.

[@catherineajordan7132]

This was great! Thank you so much for posting! It would be great to see more of these from you.

[@BallerinasByNight]

Glad you like it! What do you want to see more of? Center classes, or this level in particular? Making fall plans now!

[@catherineajordan7132]

I love ballet barre or center, but the center was nice because it was great for a small space and good for intermediate level

[@BallerinasByNight]

@@catherineajordan7132 Thank you for the feedback!!

[@steffaniax3041]

I had difficulties to understand how jumps works but your video was 🌟

[@Anna-vz5jl]

A couple of weeks ago in my Ballet class. We learned how to do a Pas De Bourres . That was hard for me🤦‍♀️ I kept getting mixed up ..But I told myself even though I’m. Beginner , I’m going to try and learn that before next class . So I searched You Tube , and I found yours . How to do a Pas De Boures . Step by step . I,liked how you broke everything down . Now I think I got it . I practice everyday . Different variations to . Thank you again . 🌸

[@BallerinasByNight]

Awesome! Just keep at it - in a few months you will be amazed at your progress!

[@btrach15]

I loved this video. I only did one jump as my floor is hard and I'm just getting back into "dance" shape. It pairs perfectly with the ZOOM barre class I like to do in the morning. Thanks!

[@BallerinasByNight]

Wonderful! And good call with adjusting for safety with your flooring!

[@GS-ys3xv]

Watching this was sooo satisfying 😂! Can’t wait to try it!! It look like it’s right at the level of difficulty I needed, thank you😊

[@kachunchiu9551]

Wow, thank you so much, Abby. This video is really good for small space practice during this time period. It helps me a lot during the quarantine time when school is closed. Thank you for making this! :D

[@BallerinasByNight]

Yay to still dancing in small spaces right now!

[@peppieluna]

You dance beautifully, Abby ❤

[@zarah8872]

Thanks this is great!

[@marianapiresbr]

Hadn't seen this one before. Will try today. Great music btw!

[@lluviadechocolate223]

This is r eally useful in 2020

[@biankd]

LOVED IT SM

[@ayasevilla]

Thank you so much! That was awesome!!! 😀🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@BallerinasByNight]

Awesome!

[@78kroses81]

I love this! But maybe next time could we mirror you? It’s kind of hard to tell which side you on other than that it’s great!

[@taniag3481]

I also find it hard to follow center work when its not mirrored! Its so confusing.

[@MrFriendlyJoe]

I just mirror her (and think "right foot" when she says "left foot" etc.)

[@koltonniko363]

I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any help you can offer me

[@torincarl7934]

@Kolton Niko Instablaster ;)

[@koltonniko363]

@Torin Carl thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@JGreen-le8xx]

Abby!!!!❤❤❤❤😄

[@susanclayton8680]

Thank you so much from Holistic Ballet Yoga in Metro Detroit.

[@BallerinasByNight]

So glad to have you here!

[@lisab0428]

Thank you

[@Chris-op4ue]

Love the music choice :-)

[@christinak5452]

Haha me too!!

[@LovelyMe93]

[@Melanie-nc1jp]

pleas more for small spaces! Wonderfull!

[@BallerinasByNight]

More coming!

[@DrNanite]

It's thanks to this video that i can finally do turns 100% of the time i try.

[@BallerinasByNight]

Amazing! Way to go!!

[@humadens4219]

Thank you so much for this brilliant video. Some steps are a bit too fast for me.

[@jessieborrell1856]

Love this and the music is awesome. Do you have any good ideas for a DIY floor to dance on? I have hardwood floors but I dont like to jump on them, it hurts my back. I'd ideally like to use something that's temporary and I can put away when i'm not practicing

[@BallerinasByNight]

I put mats, like gym floor mats, under a piece of plywood, so it's a floating floor, similar to a sprung floor. Hope this helps (and sorry it has taken me so long to respond!).

[@iheartmomosoo]

Wow this is a real workout I am sweating so much 😅

[@BallerinasByNight]

Great job!

[@Anna-vz5jl]

Do u have any Absolute Beginner Center videos . I m a beginner . No dance expo whatsoever . I’ve been taking a couple of Intro Adult Ballet classes . At the National Ballet of Canada . Adult Beginner. I stopped going because I can’t do a few of the Plié jumps . I have a bit of arthritis in my knee . I told my teacher , and she said don’t worry . But it was a small class 7 students, and we ended up jumping . I was struggling so much . I had no choice but to jump . So I didn’t go today .. not sure what to do . I just need some help with some of the Barr work . I’m only a beginner . I like ballet . It’s is so beautiful. But boy it’s a lot to remember. You guys dance beautiful. I’ve been using your videos . Beginner Bare . Ect. I’m so sorry to hear about your father . Bless 🌸🙏🏻

[@BallerinasByNight]

I don't think we have done one yet. I will put it on my list to do soon! It is definitely a lot to learn and remember; just keep at it! It will get easier. :-)

[@BallerinasByNight]

We are adding more, and did a beginner class live recently. We have an absolute beginner class planned for later in April!

[@treschic5343]

Very nice combinations for small spaces. Wonderful music. What is the actual size of your marley?

[@BallerinasByNight]

Not sure, but it's not huge. Could fit into a small living room. I just move the couch out of the way!

🌹

[@ameliagreg6566]

Where did you get your Marley floor?

[@BallerinasByNight]

[@bozobozo6557]

[@regmalt3900]

[@stae11]
