How to Learn Choreography Faster as a Ballet Dancer - TwinTalksBallet

[@isabellarose1670]

Can you do a video on stretches that help you get the splits safely please

[@LilacsAndLavender]

This is cool, it never occurred to me to think about learning choreography from the types of learning point of view. You made me realize that in ballet I am an auditory learner, whereas with text or other theoretical knowledge I am very much a visual learner. Thank you Kirsten :)

I'd be interested in more anti-inflammatory diet tips or basics?! I struggle with pain in my big toe joint and would love more of those. Question for Q&A: Do you have experience with kinesiotaping?

[@Kimberlykeepsdancing]

Can you do a video on the common variations you mentioned? I know there are some pretty obvious ones (glissade jete, or tombe pas de bourree etc) But I think it would awesome to expand on others.

[@camiparker739]

Can you please make a how to improve quickly part 2?

[@barrett_wg]

thanks for the video, i’m a kinaesthetic learner

1. How is your plant based journey/transition going? 2. Pertaining to your ballet class, what are your strengths, and what areas are you working to improve in?

[@skye1764]

When did you start ballet? Also, when did you start taking ballet seriously?

[@penelope26442]

I have a very random question for you. Who are your favourite dancers? And if you're into Russian ballet who are your favourite Russian ballerinas? :)

[@wanillekipferl]

I fell like I'm the WORST in picking up choreos... So annoying but I try to work on in it by standing in the very front of the barré. That way there's no other option for me than learning the steps really quickly...

[@leahwilton785]

Kathi Furlan I do the opposite. I like to stand at the back end so that when we do things on the right, I can follow if I need to, but try to figure things out on my own. Then when we're on the left, im in the front and I have to know it.

What are some roles you hope you will perform as you move up the ranks in y9ur company ?

[@sarahgolzari]

where did you dance when you studied abroad? im moving to france next year and really need to find a studio

[@mariaclaralozadaocampo1281]

Have you teached? Do you have any interest in teaching? because I think you would be a great teacher!

[@madisonwilson7224]

Are you done with your apprentice ship? What pointe shoes do you wear?

[@jackiep1945]

How long does it generally take to move through the beginning ranks for the early parts of the professional/preprofessional world? As in, moving from trainee to second company to apprentice to a paid position?

[@catherinesurbaugh5317]

when should you go to a year round program? and how to fine the best one for you?

[@shippermd]

I cannot seem to remember even the shortest, simplest combo at barre or center!! What can I do?! HELP!!

[@rachaelstephens3002]

Do you ever feel like quitting dance even though you have a passion for it?

[@ashlyn8346]

What type of freeds do you wear?

[@nannavendelbo5160]

Do you have to be skinny to get in to a summer course?

[@nadiayourlocalmilf2259]

Nanna Vendelbo no of course you just need to know certain skills I’ve been researching this lately and if you started pointe already you need to have pirouettes,etc. it has nothing to do with your look

[@ch_1612]

Do all degages, frappes, and piques at the barre have to be at 45 degrees?

[@TheConfidentDancer]

+Carmelli H No, that is not a common practice, especially if the work is fast. Several inches off the floor is all that is necessary in the opinions of most teachers/curriculums!

[@carlenamoss8955]

piques don't need to be at 45 degrees mostly

[@ch_1612]

Thank you so much for clearing that up for me!

[@jyguo9844]

Hiiiii! Love ur videos and your thought and tips about Ballet! I just started Ballet and read a lot about how keeping a Ballet journal will help a dancer. Is it possible to share your Ballet journal or make a how to make Ballet journal video? Thank uuuuuu(///▽///)

[@mackenzieboudreau9816]

How are you?

[@libertyvictorbishop7695]

I am an auditory learner and my teachers always count! :(

[@TheConfidentDancer]

Ah, so rough! Have you tried singing/chanting the combination to yourself in your head while they demonstrate? That really works for me!

[@susanbrown7937]

Have you ever wished you didn't have to dance on pointe because it's so painful?
