Absolute Beginner BALLET BARRE Workout for Adults & Teens

[@lornal9653]

I have been attending ballet classes for many years. With RAD teachers, a french teacher, and lastly, a Vaganova trained teacher who has stopped teaching beg. and intermediate classes. I recently went to a class with around 50 students. The school wanted us to pay a nonrefundable registration fee as well. I would be better off learning from the many KZbin videos and taking online classes. I thank you for your videos. I will relearn everything and build up my confidence in centre work and head spotting.

[@everydayballet]

I hope my videos will help you. 🙏🥰🩰✨

[@notoriousqueenpigeon]

this is HARD!!!!! the thing I love about ballet, is you never know it all. there is always room for improvement of technique and artistic presentation.

[@everydayballet]

So true!! To move with strength & grace may look easy, but it is really a never-ending practice of awareness, refinement, and discovery! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙏🏻🥰🩰

[@yvonnemariane2265]

I love this class but I've years of practice. This is absolutely not an "absolute beginner" class! It is an "impeccable basic ballet class"!

[@everydayballet]

I can see what you mean… There is A LOT to this class! I can also say that I have found many Absolute Beginners respond very well to this approach-following along, rather than trying to master every detail at first. At my NYC studio it typically takes 2-3 classes for the student to make substantial progress in their posture and begin applying the fundamentals of plié correctly. From there, everything else begins to take shape beautifully. My approach is designed to allow even Absolute Beginners to engage with the technique while also encouraging a sense of artistry and delight. And I have observed that the feelings of delight that come with moving to the music are far more motivating for newbies than the anxiety that often comes with trying to remember so many technical details, especially when first starting out. It’s a balance between offering the technical training and inviting the inner-ballerina out to play… I’m SO GLAD you are enjoying the challenge of this basic class!! 🙏👏🏻🥰🩰✨

[@yvonnemariane2265]

Thank you for your reply, I agree with the ideas behind it -- just wouldn't want anyone to get overly discouraged too soon.

[@Daisy-me8ed]

@@everydayballet I am a complete beginner (went to my first adult class last week!) and I absolutely loved this video. It's very motivating to be trusted with adding in the artistry and delight of dancing for the sake of dancing - it dispels all the nerves about being too old to start, or not the right shape, or not coordinated enough, etc. Thank you for posting. I will be following all your videos alongside my classes - and you have such a relaxing, reassuring voice! :)

[@nicoleb6748]

@@Daisy-me8ed thank you for posting this! I have been dreaming about ballet for a while now (I'm 37), but I always felt clumsy, awkward, uncoordinated, no rhythm, not the right body type, etc. etc. I'm just going to do it, though.

[@bernadettegasior3984]

I teach a Barre class for Seniors. I'm 74 years young. They are all in their late 60's 70's and we did a short version of this dance. They loved it so much they BEGGED me to do another! This Monday we will do a short version of Waltz of the Flowers. I'm so excited! Thank you for your inspiration. I've only had one year of ballet when I was 6 and I've been a Barre instructor for 3 years but I'm so inspired by your grace and beauty!

How wonderful that you are sharing ballet with your mom! Yes, the basics are ALWAYS valuable to revisit. We professional dancers do it all the time. In fact, taking basic/beginner classes is a fantastic way to strengthen your technique, especially for pointe work. I’m so glad you enjoyed the class (together!).

[@ichigoringo]

This was so fun to do! I'm 27 and a complete beginner - after being denied lessons when I was young because of my body shape, I had a bitter feeling towards ballet but I couldn't shake off the feeling of wanting to try it and I'm glad I did! I'm so happy I found your channel and thank you for sharing your videos with us :) I'm having some difficulty lifting my leg to the side (25:13) - should I be doing other leg workouts to help me with this move?

[@everydayballet]

I’m so glad you found my channel and are enjoying doing ballet! 👏🏻👏🏻🥰 It takes time to develop the strength, flexibility, and technique to lift the leg to the side, so don’t worry if your leg is low. The important thing is to try to maintain your posture and use your core as you extend the leg away. With practice and the unique combination of strength and flexibility that ballet trains into the body, lifting the leg to the side will begin to happen more easily. Ballet technique is what will strengthen you best to do ballet! 🥰 Hope this helps! 💕🩰✨

[@Lalajeen12345]

This is really nice I love it . I just need to look out for wrong postures ( im not experienced but maybe looking at you more closely i can correct some of them ) Update day 2 : i had a hard time woth the posture of my body i dont have a whole mirror around my dorm room so its hard to see my whole body and correct them as im watching you. I kinda clutching the bar but as you said we shouldnt so im kinda working on that . Neaely give up in the third work out because of my lack of balance but still continued . ❤❤

[@everydayballet]

Wonderful! Doing ballet can help improve posture significantly-it just takes practice. And don’t worry about trying to look/be perfect with it. Good form develops over time. Mostly let yourself enjoy the beauty of the music and movements. Strengthening our joy is just as important! 💗🙏🩰

[@mabajaki5555]

Thank you very much for this great video. I'm 53 years old woman and I play piano on ballet classes 30 years already, but I'm totally new in practising ballet by myself. Please tell me do we need to work abs and chests separetly with some another workouts, or just ballet alone is strenghtening those musscles too?

[@everydayballet]

Hi! So glad you are enjoying ballet for yourself!! Ballet actually stretches and tones the entire back and upper body. The technique relies on core driven movements, so it strengthens the core and stabilizes the pelvis. In my classes, we begin by doing a standing core & posture exercise before proceeding to barre exercises. The funny thing is that you could do thousands of sit-ups and still not have the kind of core strength & stability that Ballet hones. It’s more a matter of how you use the core rather than the amount of isolated strengthening exercises. I’d say if you have a weak core then doing some extra core work may be beneficial for getting in touch with those muscles. Otherwise, ballet does a fine job of strengthening the core, chest, and back! 😊🩰✨

And oh my, it seems all so light and slow, but my heartrate went up like crazy so I had to often take breaks and breathe deep. The only thing I can suggest is to lower the music volume, it is way too loud compared to your voice. EDIT: I also have a question. In the first sequence I tended to lock the standing knee, which led to pain and I guess it's dangerous too, how do you avoid that?

[@everydayballet]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! I’m still getting used to how to manage volume levels with my mic, so thanks for the suggestion-I’m working on it! 😊 Regarding your standing knee. It’s very important not to lock it! First, be sure you are not over-rotating the feet. See my Hoe to Turn Out Correctly video. Assuming you have correct foot alignment, you can avoid locking by bending the knee very slightly. This will further challenge the back of the standing leg as you do the exercise, just make sure the standing knee isn’t rolling forward. If you continue to experience discomfort in the knee, then back off and only do parts of the exercise that are comfortable on your knee. With time you will develop the strength to keep the knee well-aligned in turnout. Hope this helps! 😊🩰🌸

@@everydayballet Thanks so much for the answer! I did indeed watch the Turn Out video and I loved it, before that i was always forcing myself to turn the most possibile and it hurted, it's really fundamental life-saving advice! My natural turn out seems to be quite tiny and I always thought that was bad, before. What I find hard in keeping the standing knee bent is that it feels harder to keep it like that while sustaining weight, I tend to lock it back automatically and I have to be super aware to notice and correct it. But it may just be that I'm pretty heavy nowadays as well as the muscles not so strong.

I'm following the video as best I can, but it's my hip on the side I'm standing on that's feeling tired rather than the backs of my legs, particularly in the first exercise; what might I be doing to cause this? I'm really enjoying these videos though!

[@everydayballet]

It sounds like you're feeling your glute on your standing side in the turnout exercise. The glutes are big muscles that will work no matter what. Just make sure that 1. You aren't gripping the barre. 2. You aren't over-rotating your standing foot. 3. You aren't "sitting" in the hip, either to the back or side. A little less rotation of the standing foot may help you begin to access the upper part of the backs of the legs. I tell my students to feel like a knitting needle is gently poking them at the back of the leg (right underneath the butt). In addition to pulling up in your core, this will help you stand tall at the backs of the legs. But don't worry! It takes time to feel these things... Just keep practicing with the above in mind. Hope this helps! :-D

I'm not very good at it mess up few movements I overthink a lot on the moves the part when stretch your leg out I have very tight hips. Definitely wanna get good at it!

Hi, I really am interested in learning ballet. I just don't have the money to actually take classes. You're actually the first KZbin channel that gives me a feeling that I can pick up a bit of the ballet world without having to spend any money. I really enjoyed doing this class. I just find it very hard to keep my pelvis in the right position, I don't really even think I know how to keep it right (my buttocks are also kind of always pointing out 😅 so I feel a bit uncomfortable) Do you have any tips?

[@everydayballet]

So glad you’re starting your ballet journey and that my videos are helping you! Regarding the pelvis… It’s the largest part and can take time to find the correct position. But keep working with awareness and it will happen! Make sure you don’t tuck it forward, but also try to imagine the tailbone lengthening down toward the floor. Assist this feeling by drawing in & up in the area below the navel. Finally, try to lengthen the fronts of the hips. All of these will help position the pelvis correctly. Just remember to be patient and kind with yourself because it also takes time to get it right. Hope this helps! 🙏🥰🩰✨

Good day to you! I'm just wondering, how many times should I do this? I want to move forward to the other episodes but I also feel like I am not ready for them yet. Thank you and keep up the great videos! :DD

[@everydayballet]

You should do this class as often and as many times as it takes for you to feel confident you know the basic steps. If you want a completely structured approach to doing ballet, I highly recommend my Ballerina Body program because it really provides that step-by-step guidance. Here's a link to check it out: www.everydayballet.com/become-a-member Ballet is very much about repetition and practice, so never hesitate to repeat sequences! Hope this helps! :-D

Oh dear, I was a bit self taught dancing in my 20s and I get self conscious about the toe placements while doing the positions. Hopefully this helps 😊☺️
