That was an amazing and surprisingly hard exercise! I love how detailed and gentle your explanations are. I am trying out ballet for the first time in my life - I have always admired ballet, but never thought I would be able to dance, because I really don`t know how to use my body properly and I have a lot of backpain. But now with the help of Alexander technique lessons and your wonderful ballet exercises I feel like it could be possible for me. Thank you so much!

You are very welcome! I’m so glad you found my channel! How wonderful that you are trying ballet-it really can be accessible and healthy for most adults, provided the instruction is given in a manner that works with the body rather than against it… I really hope you’ll continue exploring ballet for yourself and enjoying my videos. 🙏🥰🩰✨

I watched a webinar about Rider Biomechanics (I ride dressage - ballet on horseback!) and the presenter mentioned that ballet helps to improve the correct posture and biomechanical strength riders need to be effective on horseback. I had forgotten that so I looked up ballet instruction on KZbin and viola! Your videos are very detailed, enjoyable and easy to follow. I've already done three videos and will be trying more. I've subscribed and will be directing other riders to check your videos out!

Thank you so much for what you’re doing! Thanks to you, for the first time I feel confident in my dancing. I’ve been a ballet dancer since I was 4 but nobody has ever properly explained and taught me the building blocks of ballet, I’ve been following your classes for only a few days and I’m now feeling so much more confident in my technique and ability! On another note: After finding your channel, I sent your videos to my best friend who has always wanted to do ballet, but didn’t have the chance as a kid, and now she’s going to start thanks to your videos! ❤

@@everydayballet Tikka, I am an 81 year old woman with multiple injuries - I lived in Alaska, in and out, for three decades. Before that I studied African, Senegalese and Congolese dance for 15 years. Before that, Ballet. I have used my body and continue to do so. Each injury, as well as aging, has slowed me down although with a Scottish Terrier who demands his walks, standing Yoga positions and QiGong I continue to use my body as much as my physical limitations allow. Discovering your ututbe classes brings great joy to me. I love relearning proper alignment of my body again. I want my dancers posture, again; all it takes is practice and muscle memory and a good teacher.. I am limited to foot and leg work as my left leg has had a gazzilion stupid injuries. But I can do plies to a limited point. Thank you so much. You are a wonderful Dance teacher. Had I the funds I would sign up for classes. I write all this so you will know your audience. BTW :I am a poet, you can view my work on line, my latest collection is on Amazon, signed copies available through me. Thank you again for returning an extremely important element back into my life.

its hurt to keep my shoulders away from my ears..Im constantly remind myself, but my shoulders creeping up, any advise to keep them away naturally and pain free?
@everydayballet3 жыл бұрын
Just be sure you aren’t pressing down through the shoulders. Instead, they should “release” and naturally fall away from the ears. It’s a relaxation of tension in the neck and shoulders that allows them to gently descend. If this exercise is too intense, try it without the towel and focus on releasing through the neck and shoulders as you lift the arms. Try to firm your core without tensing the neck and shoulders. That’s the goal. Hope this helps! 🥰🩰🌸

Can someone please explain to me what it means to hug in the core?
@everydayballet2 жыл бұрын
It means to gently pull in and up through the abdomen, especially the area below the navel. I say”gently” because typically people pull in their abdomen so hard that they tense up the neck, shoulders, chest, and hold their breath. That’s why I use the word “hug”-to make this action a bit softer. You should be able to release the neck/shoulders and breathe as you hug in your core. I hope this helps! 😊🩰✨
