How to Improve Your Développés / Extensions in Ballet Class | TwinTalksBallet

[@kodyduclos5845]

These videos are so awesome Kristin. I’m an adult beginner and it really helps to hear detailed breakdowns on placement and technique! A lot of teachers fly through class without addressing the “how!”

[@brendadufaur37]

Great video. Adding the mental dimension to it all is ingenious. On all counts a unique offering.

[@janellabaxter8372]

Thank for these helpful tips! Can you do a tutorial on delvelope arabesque? I have the hardest time placing it behind me correctly.

[@GeorgiaBryant]

I would love to see that as well!

[@pragyakumar5601]

Omg this is possibly the best developpe video on KZbin. Thank you so much Kirsten. Much much love. You are so fabulous.

I know Im late to this video, but I so appreciate the way you encourage a mind set shift in how we think about moving. Using postive words like "I get to" rather than "I have to." It makes such a difference.

So much substance in this video...and so much beauty ! Thank you so much!

[@jamesturkmen5025]

Could you do a video in this series but for more flexible feet? Like one goes about obtaining that. Thanks!

[@angelaulrich8365]

I love and appreciate your knowledge of anatomy!! It adds so much to the more typical aesthetic, intuitive, feeling-based tips common in dance education. Both are so helpful. Thanks!

and the psoas and the cuadriceps are the principal muscles to extend and elevate the legs

[@lckcyy]

reli well explained my ballet teachers just tell me to go higher n turn out every time without explaining anything

[@stellacardozo8163]

Thé explanations are great. Thanks. Suggestion: The sound is not very clear, there is a kind of echo...The subtitle helps.

What does it mean if when I straighten my leg a la seconde my quad cramps?

[@edelweissdebergbaldrian7696]

Could you just show the needed exercises and strength, instead of talking me to death? The pointe is I'm 56 now, and if someone cared about me when I was 11 it might have made a difference. The Russian ballet master loved my legs, I just grew way too fast without the proper instruction. I just want to do this for myself now.

[@lindaharrison3240]

Something odd is going on with the sound. It sounds worbly and like you’re in a tunnel.

[@TheConfidentDancer]

Yes, I'm sorry about that. I bought a lapel mic to try to help with the audio quality, but didn't get it in time to film the video :/ The quality should hopefully improve next time!

[@normamimosa5991]

Less introductory talking and more demonstrating, albeit along with instructions.

[@NancyKWang]

Too much talking
