[@lisaminov2207]

I'm so glad i found your channel, finally someone who shows the steps like a pro but explains them on a level even a beginner truly understands them, thank you for your input you're upgrading my ballet skills ❤

[@BalletForAll]

Hi Lisa, Thank you so so much for this, it truly meant a lot to me. I am thrilled to know my videos are helping you. If you have any questions I can help with please feel free to contact me any time.

fascinating! i have never heard anyone call these steps contretemps before. just goes to show how ambiguous balletic terminology is across the different schools.

[@BalletForAll]

Oh absolutely. When I started my studies with RAD after 11 years of training under the cuban methodology I had a hard time adjusting to the way they called the steps that I knew by other names.

[@snabeyratne]

Excellent demonstration. Very clear and precise. Bravo!

[@BalletForAll]

Thank you 🤩

[@flightydancer]

Nos encantan tus tutoriales a mi hija y a mí, muchas gracias por las explicaciones. Saludos desde España

[@BalletForAll]

Aww muchas gracias ❤️😍 es todo un placer 🌷

Great explanations! Ever heard of the famous Tomas Karlborg combo making the rounds in nearly a month? Your breakdown of contretemps can be a big help for those learning the combo! And speaking of which, can you do beginners’ and intermediate versions of the combo?

[@BalletForAll]

Hi, thank you. I will post a tutorial for that combination at the end of this week. 💖

[@DeviVanhon]

Your videos are the best!

[@BalletForAll]

Hola Yelena muchas gracias por tus explicaciones, me gustaria saber si tienes algun canal con las explicaciones en español?

[@BalletForAll]

Hola, por el momento no tengo ningún canal en español. Estoy pensando en hacer los tutorials en los dos idiomas. Ara año nuevo debe salir.

[@juliecassidy7353]

Thank you! I think I learned a version wherein the ankles of the legs and toes of the feet meet in a plie “en l’air”. Like a sousou with a changement. So ronde de jamb, sousou, beat beat, land. But I think we were in a plie in the air. Your video gives me something to start with!

[@BalletForAll]

oh at the moment I can't figure out the step you describe, but yep its possible you learned another version. according to the school or methodology that your teacher follows some steps could have different names and look different as well. and you are most welcome, great to know you have a better idea to some degree of the step. 😀😊

[@DeviVanhon]

The first contretemps you showed I learned as being called “jeté passé devant”.

[@BalletForAll]

Oh I see. I’m going to check my ballet notebook and find jeté passé. I can’t remember the specific characteristics right now. Will be back with better answer soon 😉

[@DeviVanhon]

@@BalletForAll if I remember well, it's also in the RAD Intermediate Foundation vocabulary. In the 3rd allegro there is both jeté passé devant and jeté passé derrière.

[@BalletForAll]

The jete passé I know it’s a jump done on the place without transfer of weight. Begins from 5th plié, and does jete, change legs in the air by jeté with the other leg. I can’t remember the exercise you mentioned. I’m going to have a look at it now 😉😏

[@DeviVanhon]

@@BalletForAll You mean a bit like pas de ciseaux?

[@BalletForAll]

@@DeviVanhon not sure which step is that one.
