[@madelyn5855]

Thank you for this

[@WOOLJEWEL]

I love that you're doing this channel! Your instructions are so clear, and I actually searched for videos like this months ago when I started pointe and wanted some beginner choreo to practice on my own. It would be so awesome to see the whole variation with music before you get into breaking down the steps. I think it'd be helpful for anyone trying to figure out which one they want to learn as well as to get a sense of the overall timing/music. Or maybe even a time stamp in the description where we can watch the whole thing!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I think it's a great idea to include the time in the description so if people would like to see the full variation first, they know where to go! I've included that in both video descriptions now! Thanks so much for the suggestion and best of luck with your ballet! :)

[@helenesimmons3272]

I could not find where you said where to see the full variation in the video. I love you still! Also, I can't find the music you used from searching what was in the description. Thx, love you so much!

[@WolfMoon]

For me, an adult ballet class enthusiast with way more determination than talent, this is a perfect way how to learn and practice at home between classes 😅 so thank you so much!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

I'm so happy you like the beginner variations! Thanks for watching :)

[@carrighanwyckoff4058]

For those who are curious, the song is Swan Lake, OP. 20: No. 5, The Black Swan Pas de Deux: IV. Variation 2

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thank you!

[@poly4117]

Thank you!

[@hoyuetlam6183]

Desparately needed some nice and easy ballet choreography to practice and here you are! Your videos are so clear and easy to follow! I hope you dont stop making them! Just subscribed. Keep it up!!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like them! :)

[@alisa8160]

I love these variation videos. Thank you so very much! You've really inspired me to dance at home and I'm really having fun with the variations, which make all the less fun barre work worth it! Please keep doing them if you can and take care during this time!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

You are so welcome! Happy dancing! :)

[@vanessasouprayapoule8781]

That's so beautiful, so graceful!! Thank you so much!

[@beatrizseco3997]

Could you please do a begginer/medium versos of the Gisele variation. I am a ballet dancer and i love that variation but i have troubles with some of the moves in the original choreography

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

I love Giselle l'll see what I can do! :)

[@sakis47]

@@NatalieDanzaBallet yes pleaseeeeeee

[@katharinaspeelman1623]

[@lareehera771]

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yay! Please share the video with me if you decide to film it!

[@helenhill393]

So beautiful. I think you've reignited my want to do ballet again after years off!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

That makes me so happy! :)

[@SharkQu33n]

I want to try this so bad! Even if it takes me months to learn, I’m going to do it.

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

I hope you’ve been able to start learning it 🩰🙏🏽

[@munelinmusic]

I've been learning ballet for 4 and a half years, and from the first pirouette turn to arabesque, I realized once again that I'm a total beginner! (That's why I love ballet very much 😂lol) Thanks a lot for a great choreography! 😍

[@sophieirving5526]

I’m using this dance as an audition piece for swan lake 😊

[@esa5171]

I had a lot of fun learning this today, it helped me get a lot of weight off my shoulders and clear my mind. Thank you❤

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

I’m so glad to hear that! ☺️

[@racheltrichardson]

My friend and I are doing your dying swan variation and black swan to video and post at some point! Your videos are really helping us learn the variations! We’ve done ballet for a long time and can’t wait to see the outcome!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Exciting! Wishing you both all the best 🩰🥳

[@avacyn_xoxo6659]

Iove how you explain things clearly! I would love to see you do the Queen of Driads from Don Quixote

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

thank you! I would love to do that variation, it's actually one of the variations which I have danced on stage and I love it so much! Will think about a beginners version for sure! :)

[@carolinecarns9990]

Absolutely fabulous! Thank you so much!

[@alisonbramham7797]

Beautiful Natalie!! I am going to practice this today!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yay! So glad you liked it! :)

[@heyryanisonx3141]

I'm going to practice this now that my ballet classes have been cancelled bc of the Coronavirus

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yay! Hope you enjoy it! :)

[@marcelapinheiro8417]

Thank you for taking your time to make these beautiful variations easier for beginners ❤️❤️👏

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

It's a pleasure! Thanks for your comment! :)

[@bunheadladymelody3355]

Will there be a Esmeralda entrance variation?

[@84michaelstevens]

Bunhead Lady Melody yes! That’s my favourite, but I can’t do a triple pirouette or kick my foot to my head in attitude. It’s very hard variation

[@bunheadladymelody3355]

KT KT Yea I think that's in a different act like act 2 and I can't kick as high either I have Fontyen legs lol but in the Bolshoi version in the entrance looked very simple

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Great idea, I'll try to find some Esmeralda music which doesn't have copyright and if I can find it, I will definitely do a beginner's variation! :)

[@bunheadladymelody3355]

Beginner Ballet Variations oh that's wonderful. I am so excited for that

[@P_HowWong]

like it very very much!!!!!!!!! so wonderful for beginners~

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thank you so much! :)

[@evekamara4093]

[@saritajena3169]

You are a great ballerina

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@beafitze5909]

These variations you choreograph are so fabulous! I’m a “silver swan” age dancer and your wonderful instructions make it possible even for me to learn some beautiful combinations. Thank you! ❤️

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

I'm so glad! Thank you so much Bea! :)

[@sekibabe]

thank you Natalie for doing this channel！ it's very very helpful and really inspires and encourages me a lot ～ ❤️❤️❤️

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

I'm so happy to hear that! Best of luck with your ballet! :)

[@itsbrittdavis]

I'd love a Talisman beginner variation! Thank you so much for these :)

[@sb7615]

Hey, first thanks for this video. I would love to learn the Dance of the Little Swans step by step as a beginner. I know is not the easiest part of classic ballet but it's my favorite ever.

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thanks for the suggestion Sandra :)

[@inabascoveanu8849]

Wonderful! Thank you! ❤

[@awe4531]

I love the idea and the variation 💜 please make one with the dance of the 4 little swans i'd love to try that

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yes, great idea! :)

[@mariaclaudiaalvarezjimenez5937]

Im learning ballet and this is such a good video

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thank you ☺️

[@madelyn5855]

I'm thinking about using this for my beauty pageant in the nationals

[@queenking1230]

[@jaejay5184]

Love this so much!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yay! Thanks so much :)

[@bunheadladymelody3355]

This was fantastic I love it. I always get the swan arms wrong but I appreciate the tip

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

you're welcome lovely! so glad you liked the variation! :)

[@asugabj]

This is brilliant 👏 Can we have a version for intermediate level dancers as well?? I really love all variations you made, but I want to have a bit more challenge 🙋🏻‍♀️👯‍♀️

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

You could try a double pirouette to start or do it on pointe! 🩰

[@martinamalavasi7342]

Very inspirational! Good job 🎉

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thank you so much! :)

[@1Stardust00]

Love this💜

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thank you for watching :)

[@CH-jk4us]

I love your video!! By the way, could u make some videos for little swans of Swan Lake? Thanks!!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Thank you! And yes, it's on my list! :)

[@asuna.akabane6388]

it's really good idea , could you make other video for example nutcracker for beginners.

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yes, I will do some Nutcracker variations towards Christmas time. I have the sugar plum fairy on my other channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5WVY2OQhcuXmJo

[@zitagajdos6065]

Thank you very much for the videos, you are amazing and helped me a lot!!!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Hi Zita, thanks so much!! I have never danced Flames of Paris so I would have to have a look. I'll add it to my list :)

[@paulineiv878]

Beautiful work thank you for sharing your pointers Miss Natalie!!😄I'm new to your channel and a ballet dancer but having trouble on La Bayedere grand pas coda with the Italian fouettes can you please do that variation and some pointers please and thank you!!❤

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Hi Pauline! Something that really helped me with italian fouettés is thinking about the supporting leg and pushing that heel round to help get the rotation and also maintain turnout and stability. Also coordinating the arms and head helped me a lot. But italian fouettes are difficult!!! good luck with the variation! :)

[@helenesimmons3272]

Hey, I love your channel but I was wondering if you could add count to your choreography. Thanks, love you channel Natalie!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yes! Thank you for bringing it to my attention :)

[@helenesimmons3272]

Omg thanks! Didnt expect you to actually respond! Thx so much!

[@ruunvlogit931]

Could you do the Kitri variation?

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yes, I'd love to do Kitri! I already have a video of me learning the entrance variation (although it's in Spanish) kzbin.info/www/bejne/noPMq6x9n5dgY6s I'd love to do a beginner version of the fan variation and also her solo in act 2 :)

[@adrianareyes7300]

I’m extremely bored during quarantine so I’m learning different variations

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yay! What a great way to pass the time! :)

[@emma_michaela]

Could you do some variatons on pointe?

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

I've been thinking about that, I'd like to film one at some point! :)

[@dasmaran]

Can you specify which from the Swan Lake music this is?

[@poly4117]

Natalie... I'm desperate to find the music. I'm a rather large and menacing looking firefighter. And I'm performing this dance at a gala in one week. It's to get voted in for the firefighter calendar for my department. I'm performing it in a Tutu and shirtless, in front of 450 women. I can not find this particular piece of music. If you could even tell me what act this song is from, it would be a huge help. A Spotify link would be even more ideal. I promise I will post my performance once done. EDIT: Found it in the comments. But TY for this. Been practicing for a month with a former pro ballerina. I'm still really, really bad. But will still post!

good one! :)

[@diarynaz]

i dont have any experiences in ballet. i want to do this ballet so what should i do? like learn from the basic or something?

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

Yes! Check out my ballet barre basics playlist and start with the basic steps. Also see if there is a beginner ballet class for adults in your area :)

[@angela6080]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@j.s.leander7688]

Help! I can't find this piece on Spotify to practice to music. Could someone tell me how to find it?

[@carrighanwyckoff4058]

This might be to late but it's Swan Lake, OP. 20: No. 5, The Black Swan Pas de Deux: IV. Variation 2

[@j.s.leander7688]

@@carrighanwyckoff4058 Thank you very much! :)

[@marsandfruit6135]

This may sound like a dumb question but what song is this?

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

It's the black swan variation but there are 2 different versions with two different pieces of music so not all ballet companies do this version :)

[@swapanmondal9171]

Can you say me the music name please ?

[@shelbydunn404]

I cannot find this song! Please help!

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Kitri will be coming next week!! :)

Your going way to fast but I love the dance xx

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

I did go fast but hopefully you can pause and rewind the video on the bits that are difficult! :)

[@vvvidkid7251]

you can change the playback speed if this helps :)

[@66kprdwd]

Not perfect, but beautiful.

[@crazyquake5223]

Not to be rude but your teaching nothing other people watching might not even know these steps that your naming next time try telling us what your doing and not just naming it sorry if i sound rude but this makes no sense

[@NatalieDanzaBallet]

This is for people who attend beginner ballet classes so they should already have a basic understanding of the ballet terminology 🩰☺️
