Beginner Ballet Series : Pas De Bourrée Under and Over

Hey guys! Today I have a variation of pas de bourrée that I want to walk you through.
If you need a refresher on pas de bourrée check out this video - • Beginner Ballet Series...
This is the first in a series of pas de bourrée videos I will be doing and we are going to start with pas de bourrée under over. I have been working on this with my adult ballerinas and it is a lot of fun!
You may hear this referred to as pas de bourrée dessous (under) and pas de bourrée dessus (over).

why arent you wearing tights?

[@amandal8640]

Hello! So is pas de bouree desirous putting the foot from behind infront. I would also love a video with how to do pas de bouree dessus and deviant

[@annewhykes6442]

Love your videos ❤. They are so helpful. I have a question for you. When I do pointe work (very basic, holding onto the barre!) I can élevé and relevé on 2 legs but I cannot rise on 1 leg onto pointe without pushing hard in the barre. Can you give me any tips/ exercises that will help, please.

[@TheWholePointe]

One leg requires a lot of strength and my best recommendation would be to continue the two leg rises slowly and intentionally - as you get stronger it will come. How long have you been on pointe?

[@annewhykes6442]

Thank you for your reply. I went on pointe at 16 but restarted at the grand old age of 45+!! All the videos I've seen go from 2 feet to doing clever things on 1 and I know I need so much strength. Is it better to go part way on pointe and improve gradually or push hard on the barre?

[@michellewilkes6329]

These always seem the wrong way 'round to me. Devant is front-side-front with the foot that does the swish. Derriere is back-side-back. To me a pas de bourree over should mean bringing the starting foot to the front (back-side-front) and under should mean front-side-back. Do you have any explanation as to why the rules would change front devant and derriere to over and under? My ballet teacher has been teaching longer than I've been alive and I've always believed she has the over and under thing wrong, but seeing someone else doing it the same as her means it's obviously the done way.

hmmm I really don't but I love this comment because it is making me think in a way I hadn't. I may bring this question to my IG audience and see what people say, thanks for taking the time to comment.
