Beginner Giselle Variation! - Act I | Broche Ballet

[@prixssclover6702]

I'm not an adult but my parents can't afford ballet class so I had to quit a year ago, Giselle was always my favourite variation and thank you for helping me re-learn it:)

[@BrocheBallet]

Aww, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed re-learning Giselle! I hope you can find your way back to ballet soon! Nowadays, there are so many more affordable options online, so keep looking around and don't give up your love of ballet! :)

PLease do an Esmeralda variation tutorial, what you're doing is amazing i'm sure it would be such a beautiful choreography

[@BrocheBallet]

Great suggestion! Glad you're enjoying our videos! ☺️

[@starmelodyelizabethb7380]

starmelody Elizabeth B awesome, I’m so glad to hear you’d love it too! We’ll certainly do our best to do one!! :)

[@Jennifervz5jl]

I’ve only been dancing for 3 years .. I’m definitely beginner adult ballet . But Giselle is my favourite. Absolutely my favourite. I can’t do this that’s for sure 😞 but thank you for this. Beautiful

[@BrocheBallet]

Jessica k. We are so glad to have you in the adult ballet world!! Keep practicing and you’ll be able to reach your goals!! :)

[@sarahr2784]

Thank you for this wonderful video! I would love to see more like this, where I can learn iconic (or your original) routines.

[@BrocheBallet]

Sarah R wonderful, I’m so glad you enjoy this type of video! :)

[@greenteawithbees]

Thank you for including the whole variation at the beginning :)

[@BrocheBallet]

I'm so glad it was helpful to see the whole thing at the very beginning! :)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :)

[@Trancosoc]

Hi I’m from Brazil, Is this video mirrored?

[@BrocheBallet]

Focus on me Hi there! The video is not mirrored. We have mixed feedback on if dancers prefer to learn from the front or the back or mirrored videos.. what is your preference?

[@Jennifervz5jl]

Beautiful thank you so much , I’ll,try ...🩰🙏🏻

[@BrocheBallet]

Jessica k. The Sugar Plum Fairy and/or 4 Little Swans videos on our channel are also good ones that are still challenging but the individual moves themselves are simpler! You might also consider starting there first! :)

[@Jennifervz5jl]

Broche Ballet hello . Thank you very much . Giselle is my favourite by far . You did some an amazing beautiful job demonstrating how to perform Giselle . Even though I’m a beginner. I’ll still try . And I.lmtry the other videos that you suggested thank you very much . And take care of yourself ✨🩰💟

[@BrocheBallet]

Jessica k. Wonderful! I LOVE Giselle too!!

[@honestydavis2289]

Can you list variations that dont require pointe in a video?

[@BrocheBallet]

Any variation can be done without pointe shoes if you’re dancing just for fun! For example, in my online ballet studio, I teach a different one every month and we’ve learned: - 4 little swans - Kitri from Don Quixote - Candide Fairy from Sleeping Beauty - Russian Dance from Nutcracker - Sugar Plum Fairy (also on my KZbin channel) When it comes to competitions or performances, pointe requirements will be a little different and depend on the organization!

[@theminisimmer]

I really want to try learning ballet as an adult, just for fun, but I can never find any classes for beginners. 😔

[@BrocheBallet]

I'm so glad to hear you want to start learning ballet! That's so exciting :) We love beginner adult dancers here at Broche! A big silver lining of COVID is that there couldn't be a better time to be a beginner in ballet! There are so many places (including Broche) where you can learn ballet from your home. No special shoes or flooring are needed to get started. We have beginner ballet classes if you like live online classes, and an 18-hour video course if you prefer to get started with your studies in private. And, we're not the only ones! The sky is the limit right now with learning enough of the basics of ballet to be able to join a local studio when they start re-opening. Our video course: brocheballetonline.com/overture-online Our live ballet class schedule (which includes beginner & intro levels): brocheballetonline.com/live-schedule Hope that helps, and I hope that wherever you end up, that you do find your way to ballet! It's such a wonderful place to be! :)

[@theminisimmer]

@@BrocheBallet that sounds cool! I could really do with starting a new hobby.

[@BrocheBallet]

@@theminisimmer Yes!! I hope you do find a fun new hobby! Obviously, I'm partial to ballet ;) But either way, I hope you find something that will really capture your attention and your passion!

[@theminisimmer]

@@BrocheBallet especially in these times it's important to have a hobby 🥰 I'm going with another online course due to the fact that the beginners classes are a big time difference since I'm in the UK, but hopefully I can have enough confidence to join your mixed level classes after maybe a month or two

[@BrocheBallet]

@@theminisimmer exciting! Happy dancing!! :)

[@michenglish6867]

Kirkland/any relation to Dorothy Kirkland?

[@BrocheBallet]

Good question! Maybe so, I wonder!

[@asclepius3117]

Hey, what you are doing is terrific but I am surprised that you skip the names of connecting steps and refer to them as turn-around, step-drag, and so on.

[@BrocheBallet]

MDMigs thanks for the feedback! I love teaching adult beginners and often have found that overwhelming with vocabulary can make it difficult for them to focus on different things like remembering the choreography. Also they can be intimidated by all the foreign words. So I tend to prefer to separate out instructional videos with vocab explanations and keep videos like this a little more colloquial in language to simplify at least one aspect for newer dancers. Hope that helps clarify the style of the video! Happy dancing :)

[@mayarose2461]

I loved doing this! however, next time could you invert your video? this is in benefit of understanding what side you're on.

[@BrocheBallet]

Definitely, for future videos, we have started doing them from the back view! :)
