Beginner Adult Dancer Trying YouTube Ballet Classes

I'm not far into the video but something I want to point out about your not using arms: Putting your hands on your hips (like you did) is actually super useful, and something that even advanced dancers do to keep their alignment in check during barre! And, considering you're a beginner, you're doing a really great job; especially since you are so focused on building up a good technical foundation, something that can be very hard and discouraging. Proper arm placement is def initely important to good technique (when done right, it helps you "carry" yourself better when you're off barre); but you are SO right in saying that they're not as important when you're like Brand New, because, although good arm technique will be helpful, good technique in things like pliés and tendus is so much more important for avoiding injury! There are so many elements to focus on, so don't worry if you feel overwhelmed! A little tip is to pick one thing per class to concentrate on; it makes it easier to not get too in your head about other mistakes you may be making.

Although I'm technically not an adult (almost 17) I've accually never been to a ballet class but I really wanted to start ballet and I saw somewhere that Kathryn Morgan does ballet for begginers and in the beggining it was really hard especially catching up with the combinations and the technique which I didn't have, but after doing those barre videos for a few months I saw quite a bit of progress in my form and in my strength, but it's still challenging, but I think still the most important thing is to just have fun while doing any kind of workout whether it's ballet or yoga or anything else. Much love and don't worry about the form you're doing absolutely great, I'm proud of you. Oh and some of Kathryn's videos are without intros and then it's just music without her corrections (I don't know whether this was what you meant by no audio but yeah)

I’m in a level 1 ballet class at my college, and I feel that comparison thing so hard. Some people are in the class with no dance experience and some people have been dancing for their entire lives and are taking the level one class because they just graduated high school. It’s hard for me to feel good about how I’m doing because I keep comparing my awkward shaky movements to some of my classmates more graceful and strong movements.

I think doing videos from home is a great idea! I was thinking that when watching your "why I stopped ballet" video. I'm an adult beginner and started on KZbin and zoom during the pandemic. I definitely improved at home, especially with the zoom classes because the teachers can actually see you well and correct you! Like you said, a lot of ballet is muscle memory, so if you can get used to a lot of the movements at home, if and and when you do get into a studio you'll be way better off than if you hadn't done anything :)

I”ve noticed your channel these days, I am 20 and when I was a little girl, around 9 years old I really wanted to start ballet classes, but the owner of the dance school told my that I was fat for ballet. ( I wasn’t fat, but wasn’t thin also) . I felt so sad so I went to another dance school near my house and I started other choreos like belly dance hip hop, contemporary somehow. But I still thinking of ballet, so I asked the owner of my dance school, and now I attempt adult ballet class and it’s amazing. I will also give exams on grade 4. I don’t want to be like 30 years old and thinking of ballet. But It’s never to late. And never listen to someone that told you you are fat or anything else. You can go to another dance school , find another teacher. There Is someone out there who can teach you the way you are. If I can tell you that I regret something, this is the fact that I didn’t asked for ballet again when I went to the other dance school when I was a child.
