All about ballet meeeeee

All about ballet Meeeeeeeweeeeeeee3eeee3eee3eeeeeeeeee!

[@GS-ys3xv]

Yes!! Any excuse to watch Claudia’s gorgeous dancing more!😍

[@georgieporge601]

All about ballet meeeeeeeee

[@calendars4]

Me!!

[@joyanngoddard2033]

You definitely passed.😀 . Claudia your dancing is remarkable after a 4 year break. It’s all still there in the muscle memory. 👏🏻

[@meep2325]

So good. You know how lovely the content is when it makes you want to stand and dance too. With no prior experience. Or knowledge. BUT HEY. In my opinion, Claudia looks as graceful and elegant doing these variations and after a long while of no dancing well... she passed for me!

[@wenxing9382]

Pony Aviles y

[@cindylo8505]

Agree

[@miss__amy]

Love watching you dance. I would love to see you dance a full solo in a more traditional ballet outfit. Just for something a little bit different. For someone that hasn’t dance you have managed to keep a lot of your technique and you know when you need to correct something and you do. Well done!

[@emilywu2913]

Amy Dickson I would love to see it too, but it’s a lot easier to dance in a leotard and tights than a wide tulle skirt that can weigh you down. I mean you probably know that though.

[@catisespinoza]

1. pass 2. pass 3. pass and it was SOOO GOOD! 4. fail 5. pass

[@AriRHen]

It was so nice to see you actually do pirouettes from the 5th position. So many professionals do pirouettes from 5th in some weird kind of in between position, even the dancer you showed in your video does this.

[@breakingpointe727]

AriRHen Was going to say the same thing - hate that cheated 5th pirouette take off, nice to see Claudia had a nice tight 5th AND lovely turns!

[@sannemaas496]

In the first variation your pirouettes in fifth position were so much cleaner than the ones of the dancer in the video (she kinda did a very small fourth position imo) so because of that you definitely passed the first challenge!!😁

[@mary.bx19]

Sanne Maas No, I think Claudia and Eve Grinztajn are so different dancers French and English style are so different 😉

[@csyoung82]

“I’m just going to quickly learn it though...” lol you are incredible and I love your positivity. It’s so infectious!

[@heidibaltom8138]

What i absolutely love about your videos are that you know things that can be corrwcted and tell us so we can learn from you. That there is a true teacher. Also i think you dance beautifully still. Ive also seen Sylvie Guillem in London she was doing a show with "The Ballet Boys" and one of the beat shows i have ever seen. It madr me cry it was that beautiful

[@jennacampbell7759]

Yes! I love these challenges. You are still so elegant and lovely, Claudia!! It's so cool to see you dance. :D 😍

[@heatherjane910]

My calves are burning watching you!

[@carolinarosario6355]

Passed all Claudia of course even the one you didnt like just before Aurora. A great pleasure to see you dancing! You are an amazing dancer and a unique person and teacher. Please do some more these challengw videos. LOVE the variations you choose😍

[@mick6y_]

You dont give yourself enough credit! After years of not dancing professionally you still look AMAZING. If i go even a week without ballet my technique is a little wacky! Lol! You're one of my favorite dance youtubers!❤

[@Exactpie1]

It is incredible to watch you dance, especially after so long. I was surprised you came out in Pointe. I have never danced, so I'm not qualified to pass or fail you. I just love the art of it.

[@PriyaThiele]

Fabulous Claudia! Imagine what you could do if you practiced and were on top of your game again!

[@blakelyfaulkner7907]

Variation one: Pass but ,needs control Variation two: PASS you had so much control Variation 3: pass, arms could be better Variation 4: pretty good but, fail Variation 5:Very Strong! Pass Btw, If you ever do this again...Pointer Fairy is my favorite

[@blakelyfaulkner7907]

Sorry, I meant finger fairy idk why I said “pointer fairy” 😂😂

[@marbella499]

my favorite is canary fairy and rose adagio 😂

[@marbella499]

also kitri all three acts

[@fabiocardoso904]

She rocks!

[@crunchybubblewrap]

I like giselle peasant pas de deux.

[@AngelOfTheNorth007]

Ballet dancers amaze me, the strength you must have in your ankles, you passed everything in my book. You can still dance. Your amazing. I wish I was able to do ballet, the dancers are so graceful. Bravo

[@angelalow22]

Omg, your lines are still so beautiful even though you haven't been hardcore dancing FOR YEARS 😍😍 YOU STILL GOT IT!!

[@denialuciareyescaballero8701]

Very awesome! Just yesterday I was talking to a friend that stopped dancing for a couple of years already and we spoke about missing it so much. This encourages the fact that we know ballet will always be a part of our souls. Btw, completely passed all, my favorite was grand pas classique!

[@catclover8888]

Claudia, I can never dance but you put a little part of my dream come true, I love to see you dance, you're so graceful, thank you Claudia♥

[@BrunoAuzierDancer]

Soooooo good! Do more variations like Kitri 1 act, Esmeralda, Odile and 5th Paquita

[@k-m___]

I would LOVE another variation "can I still dance" episode! Beautiful dancing xx

[@buibuiopolismayor7329]

Oh I like this, so much insight to how much work goes into such graceful movements. And coaching yourself is so entertaining to watch. Thank you.

[@lilianarovegno3876]

beautiful Claudia. Such talent , hard work and carisma . You should be dancing , you are a great dancer and teacher. Enjoy a lot.

[@nessiecreed8467]

I adore watching you dance. I am in awe of all ballet dancers but you explain it and perform so beautifully (even after a 4 year gap) xxx Thank you

[@HaleiwaGirl808]

4 years my rear end!! I LOVE watching you dance!! You are beautiful and dance beautifully!!

[@maddena977]

Please make more videos like this! I really enjoy them! You are a gorgeous dancer!!! I love watching you killing it!!! Bravo! Encore!!!!

[@dylanthediabetic1056]

Love to see you do firebird!!! And tbh you still have it! Nailing the game!

[@omg.its.fay1111]

You can definitely still dance! You are better than me now after not dancing for 4 years!!! More vlogs or maybe a get ready with me as an idea for videos! Have wonderful day, so inspirational as usual! Haha!

[@erynryba5509]

Incredible! Absolutely beautiful!! Passed both! I stumbled onto your last can I still dance challenge and have been watching your channel ever since. I love your positive laid back fun energy! Thanks so much for all the great dance videos

[@wotstuff3667]

You're amazing!! I dont know much about ballet.. But i love your attitude, positivitiy and fearlessness in dancing these difficult variations after such a long break!! I just love your courageousness!! I think this is such an important attribute in a coach and teacher!! Keep up the great work!!

[@dandelionkim3883]

watching u doing that its like watching a ballerina doing a practice for the show.. u really that good in ballet. and when they say ballerina is a superhuman, they trully are! i mean watching them doing those moves without exhausted and wearing that graceful face instead of painful fave trully kills me. they really need to be more appreciated since not many people can do that

[@Ingridinbox519]

Love your videos Claudia, you should do one on how to get back to ballet shape and dancing after few years break 😍

[@beccaroseeckles8619]

You did it beautifully!! You honestly look beautiful! You make me want to dance even more!! Thank you for inspiring someone who has all but given up on dancing... You are truly an inspiration to me!! ❤

[@emma.l]

Really want to see you try kitri or esmeralda!!

[@danceraog111]

Very impressive, Claudia! You still got it! You go!

[@WelcomeToTheScene1]

You’re so great at explaining things!! I’m not even a dancer (VERY limited training) but I still understood exactly what you were saying!! You seem like a great teacher 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lifeof.aneira]

Wow Claudia ,I think you definitaly did great with every variation,its there in your muscle memory,even if you have'nt dance for 4 years

[@sheilamarieg.bermejo5162]

Variation 1:pass💓 Variation2:pass💓 Variation3:pass💓 Variation4: pass💓💓💓 Variation5:pass💓 You're so good and i look up to you a lot claudia...ilysm❤

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

love youuuu ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@Winterina11]

Came across this video and you know what..I think what makes me love this dance challenge video is HOW HUMBLE YOU ARE! :""""D It's not like you are trying to "I haven't danced in 4 years or so and I still can" but for me it's more like "I'm gonna give it a try" and you admitted that certain steps were difficult! Love you, Claudia

[@tarabesque3328]

This is so lovely, you're such a ray of sunshine and that really shows in these videos! Arabesque is also something that I struggle so much with, and it seems so easy for other people? But just being able to find a well placed arabesque is really hard for me.

[@lollylula6399]

Definitely passes. Its bitter sweet, I love watching you dance but at the same time it makes me really really want to see you in a role on stage. Would you consider going back on stage?

[@victoriav.w.4737]

You pass in every variation (except nr 4) But for not dancing in 4 years (except The other challenge ) You were AMAZING

[@jessicadecker914]

I love your corrections, I’m a teacher myself and I love using some of your own explanations to help make corrections 😁😁

[@unii_ce]

Variation 1: Pass!! Variation 2: Pass!! Variation 3: Pass!! Variation 4: Pass!! Variation 5: Pass!! You are simply such a phenomenal dancer and I really look up to you. Thank you for this video!! ❤️❤️

[@ainokeas]

I'd love to see more of you dancing. I think you're still a beautiful dancer. And I love that you still gave yourself corrections from a coaches stand point. I'd love to see you do a dance comparison of videos of you in the past, to you now.

[@stephiehellyeah2557]

Oh Claudia! You’re natural talent and training show! I really hope you continue to dance! Whether it’s classes to keep you on your toes (heh) to maybe solo for the sheer joy of it! Thank you for sharing!

[@rachelgroves18]

Definitely a pass on each one in my opinion! To not dance in four years and still have the ability to dance AND learn the routine first time is incredible. You inspire me Claudia, even though i can’t dance or do anything like that. Is it too late to learn ballet at the age of 21👀

[@lydiajacobs9871]

Can you maybe do an instruction video on the dance of the small swans from swan lake? I’m trying to teach myself and it would be nice to have a bit of help on some of the footwork

[@staceyschomburger509]

You are beautiful on the inside and that shines through with your positive outlook on life and you are also a a beautiful dancer. I love how you can laugh at yourself, I can find humor in many things that I do😄

[@KAEC97]

Claudia oh my goodness, you are such a wonderful dancer! And seem like an amazing dance coach x

[@mayalancaster1010]

This is actually crazy, you’re so talented and it seems like it just comes with such ease. Inspiring❤️

[@catnipcake6987]

I 💗 u Claudia Dean!!! I cannot believe the "can I still dance" idea even exists in the world!! Who in their right mind would question your skills???? Madness!!!! Ok, well, w/e I am watching this anyway just to see your awesomenessss! 😸

[@Mago2208]

For somebody who hasn't danced in 4 years, you did pretty good. I loved all your go's.

[@saramalmstrom7059]

Claudia, you should make a video where you teach us one of your favorite variations!!

[@SG-ge3pf]

You definitely passed all of them! It was beautiful!!✨

[@823112coffeebean]

Pass! And why are you not still dancing? So lovely ❤️

[@BostyBo2021]

you shouldn’t stop dancing as long as your body is ok with it. You’re still a wonderful dancer! Or even better then ever before if you start training again 💖

[@jeanienguyen1543]

yes these variations are such classics and so hard I can’t believe you did so well!!

[@vanjoseify]

You are just so adorable and humble! You did a great job!

[@EliseCharlotte]

You definetely passed with flying colors! Congrats!

[@SLAVEforLISA]

You do not give yourself enough credit!!!! Awesome...after 4 YEARS

[@ren1235]

Your energy is so wonderful!!

[@daturarose]

I like the part where you were coaching yourself

[@kristinaerika9052]

I love watching your videos, my background as a dancer is mostly hiphop, but one year ago I started doing jazz, modern/contemporary and tapdancing as well as hip hop and the urban dance styles, because I started a two-year dance education at Baardar dance academy in Norway. This fall I will be taking ballet classes to improve my technique. Your videos inspires me to keep doing what I love, so thank you for posting dance videos on KZbin :)

[@rebecamaidana4876]

Lolll? I'm glad I was laying down when I started watching because this is the best thing I've seen this week. You were amazing!!!

[@kaitlinmurphy1222]

You did an amazing job! As an ex dancer you know how hard those variations are. I agree with you, just gamazatti, it wasn't a fail at all and you corrected yourself straight away. Well done!

[@Emma-bj5bc]

Totally passed all of them love these challenge videos

[@lindseywoods1905]

TOTAL pass, if I could dance like that just once I would cry. You inspire me to work towards it! I have to remind myself that I live in a small town and don’t have a lot of money and not many learning opportunities, but I am sooo thankful for what I have and you inspire me to work harder!

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

thank you so much Lindsey, follow your dreams ❤️

[@sedmidivka]

It's all a pass for me :) I don't know anything about ballet to even critique you, I find ballet so hard in every aspect that all I can do is just watch in awe anyone who can do any ballet 😍 the grace, the beauty of the movement, I just loved it

[@theresam6373]

Omg! I performed the variation of grand pas classique once and this part is so so hard!! You did so well on it!

[@Andrea-sx3xo]

When you said you’ll do Aurora’s variation it confirmed that you are crazy girl 😆😆 BUT i think you passed cause you are queen 💜

[@vangoghtothepolls7723]

Still amazing, and I love when you corrected yourself! I had fun watching and also learned a few things by observing and listening!

[@leilanideleon336]

I love how much fun you’re having while you do this, also you are an amazing dancer! :D

[@SLAVEforLISA]

You're so amazing. I love that you just take a chance come what may. It helps that you're still 20 something with an amazing technical aptitude. I like how you corrected yourself this time. That's how it works in the studio anyway.

[@ohshootitsavery2690]

The developés in the Aurora Variation are so fun to do 😍

[@excellenttenent6340]

Fantastic! Really hard to believe you have been 'out' of dance, so fun to watch you dance. The video clips of other dancers are helpful to watch and your self- correction is really great for us all to learn from. Awesome Teacher! Great fun, have to go ice my toes now, you made them bleed ;)

[@kendahke]

I really love this series of videos you're doing!

[@jodichung]

A total pass for all of them! Love these videos! You look lovely and are so amazing! "Can I still dance challenge variations edition part 2" please!!!! Would love to see La Bayadere 2nd shade variation, Esmeralda, Kitri variation act 1, etc.!!

[@juliamitchell9891]

YOU PASSED ALL OF THEM CLAUDIA! YOU ARE AMAZING! I LOVE U SO MUCH!

[@LuizFilipeLucchiari]

You did AMAZING! I wanna see more Can I Still Dance Challenge, for sure, guurrrl!

[@camilacarnicelli]

Claudia, you are crazy, lovely and should be dancing!! Take care to not get hurt with this challenges... go dance girl!

[@omg.its.fay1111]

MY OPINION-OVERALL A+++ Variation 1-pass variation 2-pass (hope your calves are ok)haha variation 3-pass (hope your back recovers)haha variation 4-pass/attitude fail (better than I could do though)haha variation 5-PASS ( amazing second develpe!)

[@doerayme28]

You so passed. Your so good and I love your channel. I’m 11 and I’m about to get my first pare of pointe shoes in October. I’m super excited. Your channel helps me so much with my technic. Love you and your channel ❤️

[@kaitscott5768]

Pass for all of them cause you’re doing better than me!!! Please do more of these videos!!

[@audioswapsuniverse]

La badayère third shade is one my favourite variations ever!

[@prideandrade1667]

loved the first one and this one too!!! you're amazing! can't wait to see more like this!

[@etniessi]

To be honest you are still on the pro level, like you literally dance circles around the Finnish National Ballet company corps... Never seen talent like yours who can hop on and off the ballet train like that, I wish you an injury free lifetime!

[@meaganalexandra6086]

You look great!! Even when you are tired you look good!👏🏾

[@sophiekollasch9059]

I think you passed them all wonderfully!!!

[@TACdanceco]

I love that you’re doing these videos. Yes, you can still dance!!

[@ClaudiaDeanWorld]

thank you so much ❤️

[@emmamartin9412]

Yay!! Amazing job! Love these videos.

[@angelikip610]

Please gimme moreeee 👏🏻❣️ So good, congrats 🤩

[@kyliegilbert5946]

Hi Claudia! At some schools around my area, we got the chance to try out for a creative arts camp. I’m the only girl who made it for dance and it is my first year & I don’t know what to expect. I’ve only been told that it is really hard! I was wondering if you had any tips for preparing. BTW I love your videos! :)

[@patriciacouto5956]

Love these videos. I also think the pas classic step is one of the most difficulties in ballet.

[@KimCarmenWalsh]

omg you're amazing! Not that I know much about ballet, but looked fantastic all the same :)

[@avanelmunger651]

Amazing job in all of the variations if you read this tiny correction in the first variation you are abusing the fith and going to third instead. If your school taught you to do that then keep on going it but my school didn't. Giving you won of my biggest corrections! ;) love your channel!!:)

[@tatebutler1280]

vacation 1: pass, just need to work on hip control. variation 2: pass, you did so good! variation 3: pass, just work on ending at the right time. variation 4: pass, just work on your back attitude turn and the landing. variation 5: pass, you did an amazing job! But overall I think you did fabulous especially since you have danced in a little while!

[@gabyberron1916]

I wish I could dance like that 😭 got a lot to work on!!! 💛

[@paulineiv878]

Miss Claudia you did amazing You definitely passed!!💗Hope to see more of you you're a great teacher and dancer!!☺
