How To Practice The Arabesque In Ballet

[@c.nugget3250]

I’m not a beginner I just haven’t been in class from quarantine so I’m brushing up my skills thank you so much this really is helping me

[@Reborn_life435]

Today was my first day of ballet class and I made me more confident thank you so much😁❤️

[@potatocat3586]

How’s ballet going for you??

[@ImranInshan-qx4td]

[@BallettoMonson]

To use their proper terms a battement tendu stays on the floor, a battement glisse comes just off the floor, a battement jete is 45 degrees normally with the accent on the extension, and of course grand battement is the term for the larger action. The 'battement' part which is so often omitted for ease means to beat and refers to the legs touching together on the close. As stated previously a degage means to disengage there is no 'battement'.

[@crystalchaung1576]

It is called first position en avant. That term will make it easier to give instructions.

[@User-gc1du]

So helpful! My kids now learn how to and can pass it on!😃

[@emigabdev]

I like these videos showing real kids "practicing" ballet. The teacher gives good explanations and the imperfections are what I see when I teach. There are plenty of other videos showing perfectly executed steps. Just remember, most of those people started out like these kids when young.

[@AxeliassRidingclub]

Don’t forget about the emotion in the dance

[@amxrix4987]

Yup

[@sophiaweaver6831]

Omg they are so good at ballet. I used to do ballet for 8 years at a academy but I quite when I was 10 know I am going to maybe start ballet again. I took almost a 4 year break.

[@Jessiquoi1]

Lay off, folks. Give 'em a break. This is fun stuff and these are cute kids. No need for the ballet police.

[@user-gz6hg7fm3b]

[@bellaaa306]

Jessica Hanberry I was doing ballet from now and when I was 1 litterly 1

[@stersss]

I do not understand why people have to be so negative. It's a nice video, very instructional. Everybody understands how to do a arabesque after watching this, so don't make a problem please (or else post a video response of a better instruction or arabesque...)

[@ericaheap]

stersss exactly!!

[@igomez9610]

U are right

[@diarraamoa1312]

Thats not an arabesque they could hurt them selves if they do it that way

[@hheennbbeerr3607]

Im 13.. Im flexible if that helps, and i want to join ballet, is it too late or what? Ive danced jazz earlier too. I kinda want it as a career, so is it possible for me??

[@farrahsmoan4095]

If you want to do ballet professionally, the very latest age to start would probably be 17. Doing jazz and being flexible won't be a ton helpful, but it will come in handy sometimes. You would also need to have strong ankles to be able to do pointe work (I would see a physio to prevent injury).

[@pughub3867]

Same here, I've been practicing some positions at home. I was in a step dance club for a year. I would like some advice from ballets to help. The only thing is if I start now at 13 will I be made fun of by the younger kids?

[@erdua_]

hheenn bbeerr same I'm 10 I want to join ballet again I'm very flexible I started joining ballet when I was 3 years old but my mom stopped me when I turn to 5 years old ;-;

[@cassidysamantha8639]

hheenn bbeerr I started ballet at 13 as long as you practice and work hard it's okay :)

[@Danijones4571]

Not too late to become a professional but you'll have to work HARD. You can do it! :)

[@anoudmb8191]

can start ballet at the age of 19 ? would i be good? please i need a reply

[@BellaSicker]

Anoud mb You can absolutely take ballet for fun, but don't go in with the expectation of making it your career. It's hard to tell whether you'd be good or not just from a comment, but just go to a studio and try a couple beginning adult classes to see if it's something you're really interested in. If you are interested, then keep attending classes, and talk to a teacher about what level is right for you and such. Remember that there is nothing stopping you from trying ballet, you're never too old. :)

[@anoudmb8191]

thanks !! your reply really helped bringing my hopes up !

[@zephielovet]

I started ballet at 19 and have been going about a year now.

[@YFaloMe]

+Zephie lovet I started ballet at 42 and I am now a teacher of ballet. Go take a class and have fun.

[@zephielovet]

YFaloMe I'm sticking with it. I have to wait until February for my next class but I really love doing it.

[@spidershrug]

I have a tip when lifting your leg look at something that's not moving like a matt the wall your bed , etc

[@BallettoMonson]

Try re-reading the little bit above. Basically they gradually increase in height...So all battements are - tendu on the floor, glisse just off the floor, jete to 45 degrees, then grand battement. Degage is on the floor but instead of closing moves on to something else - run, hop, arabesque, etc. Hope that helps! x (This of course doesn't mean the names are always used correctly...but what's in a name, it's the technique and expresssion that matter!)

[@sopmodtew8399]

I tried this ,while I was drunk. The orthopedic surgeon did a pretty good job fixing my shoulders.

[@angelcakes649]

Are you okay💀

[@jaimeward5401]

Hi

[@JennaStJohn-gy9mf]

In RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) curriculum, they call a tendu a degage.

[@chrognos]

Jenna St. John my studio too

[@urlocalshinnie_4969]

Actually my teachers use the terms interchangeably

[@demispencer1311]

Thank you!! This helped a lot!!

[@CherrielifeGachacontentpoint]

I'm watching so many and becoming better-

[@Danijones4571]

To everyone saying it's just a bit of fun, it's not, it's ballet training. I'm not being mean here but truthful, dancers take corrections and constructive criticism all the time, we appreciate it. From what I can see: sway back, turned in hips, Copelia arms, no tendu, open hips, bent legs to the back, not activating the core or glutes, probably tight iliopsoas muscle groups.

[@alainariley2230]

it’s literally a ballet class for kids

[@circusbabyuwu8186]

Hi my names Jenna I love ur ballet dancing I am practicing to do this I’ve got good all thanks to you I’m still leaning now from ur videos thanks for this video

[@erdua_]

I love your videos!! their so helpful!!!

[@lanamassoud2646]

I started ballet at 5 years old

[@BallettoMonson]

Degage means to dis-engage. If you stretch the leg out but then go on to do something else it is a degage. If you stretch and then close it back in it is a tendu. Bit confusing, but there you go!

[@godtiera7822]

wow so hard and fun and i can do it because i never give up

[@dbenzllc]

Yes please I need more videos to practice

[@thewolflear6001]

[@tiapatrick4589]

if you see this can someone tell me if I would be able to start this at 13 ive had some experience some years ago for about 5 years but I quite when I was 10 -11

[@ballet4eva851]

Of course you can 😘! I know this girl at my dance school who only started ballet at the age of 12 (she is 16 now), and in September, she is going to a professional vocational ballet college because she has become good enough even though she started late. xxxxxxx

[@chrognos]

Absolutely!

[@evasetina1529]

When doing an arabesque, are you supposed to lift the leg towards the outer side of your back or directly towards the centre of your back? Because my back hurts when I try to lift my leg towards the centre of my back (directly up)

I am from India I love Ballet dance please teach ballet dance

[@DeannaBanana236]

I love this, but when I learned an arabesque, we learned how to keep square, that was what was always repeated. Do they know that by heart?

[@carolinajey8341]

in some ballet books what we call tendu is called degage. And degage is called jete...

[@Bellathronerocks101]

I guess a tendu is a dégagé en a'tair

[@YFaloMe]

+Imani Magchu A tendu is an extension (literally) In ballet, it refers to extension of the foot on the floor. when you lift the foot from tendu off the floor, it becomes a degage, which in French means to disengage, in this case, from the floor. A degage is often taught "tendu , lift, tendu, close" for beginners before doing a degage.

[@sarahfernando3943]

Thank you 😊

[@bridgetmarfo]

How did you do that, please i want to learn

[@thinmints4life]

her terms are way of degashay i dont think I spelled that correctly but it should be tendu and much more

[@krishnagurung6903]

I also do bellet

[@douachixiong8841]

Why are u guys so mean , if u were they and they say bad things about u how would u feel

[@diarraamoa1312]

Yes its harsh but its true im a ballet dancer myself and what all of the girls are doing is wrong. But its mainly the teachers fault for letting them get away with sloppy technique

[@chrognos]

The teachers need to correct the girls, it isn’t mean, it’s helping them and is a compliment that shows your teacher is paying attention to you.

[@miyuki_san1]

It's really fun to ballet but is so hard

[@moehler4215]

I have been doing ballet for several years and I want to take a more advanced class so I can do pointe but the level I would start at is for kids 2-3 years younger than me should I still do it

[@chimmyinseoul7304]

M Oehler Your teacher would decide if you are ready for pointe. Remember, you have to have strong ankles and a good balance for pointe work. Talk with your teacher to see if you are ready for a more advanced class. ☺

[@pankajNYC]

That can be the prefect dance

[@nataliaparedes4246]

is it supposed to be done starting in third position

[@laruefichtner]

No, it's not. Degage is basically same thing as glisse or battement jete. Tendu doesn't always have to close back. It can go into any other move. Degage will go right off the floor in one move. Sort of like semi grand battement.
