Beginner Ballet Series - Waltz - Part 1

[@lorensirel2471]

Explaining to always show the ‘front’ leg has been a game changer for me. I finally feel like it flows for me! Thank you!

[@TheWholePointe]

yes! My pleasure, I remember when that clicked for me too!

[@ScarlettVladescu]

You are a life saver! I really had a bad time today at class with this. Your video helped me a lot! Thank you.

[@TheWholePointe]

I am so glad to hear that! Let me know if there is anything else that you would like to see!

[@judithmcminn863]

As an adult beginner a few years ago this took me ages to get my head around, your video would have been very helpful at that stage!. It was a nice reminder now.

I hear you! I remember when I started getting all twisted in waltz - now it is one of my favorites!

Thank you so much for this video. I've never had a teacher be willing to explain what the waltz step actually is, no matter how allegedly basic intro absolutely no experience necessary of a class I took. They always just scold about the "feel" of it without explaining the *steps* of it. You're the first person who mentioned that the brush occurs as a kind of fondu with the standing leg bent, and all-importantly, the staging goal of presenting the outside line to the audience, which makes it a THOUSAND times easier. Thank you SO MUCH for being willing to explain trade secrets that no other teacher will ever discuss!

@@TheWholePointe that's true really yr explanations are deep and slow!

[@hanstappendorff6930]

It looks like a mixture of Mazurka and Waltz….and it always starts with a step on „one“…

[@holalale4613]

Could you give us more ballet feet exercises please?

[@TheWholePointe]

Yes certainly!
