5 TIPS on ARABESQUE from Mariinsky ballerina Maria Khoreva

In this video I'm talking about 5 most important things that I think about whenever doing ARABESQUE and whenever I'm working on making my extensions to the back higher and more pretty looking! These are the 5 tips that I got from people around me, my coaches and ballet colleagues that really help me with lifting the leg higher and making it more stable and look more beautiful in class, at the rehearsals and on stage. Please note that this only comes from my personal experience and I'm not saying that these will work for absolutely anyone, however these tips have been literal lifesavers for me and I just knew I needed to share these with you!
ARABESQUE is one of the most important, beautiful and emotional moves in ballet in my opinion, there's an arabesque or an attitude in every solo and in every choreography so it is crucial for a ballerina to always work on the extensions to the back!
I hope you find this video useful and interesting and I hope these tips and advices could be of a little help!

My ballet master always said " arms before legs! " over and over! It is a life saver! It helps to complete the line, takes some strain out of the legs, and in general your positions, balances, turns, and jumps are more secure than if the porta bra follows the body. Great video Maria!

you're my absolutely my fav Ballerina Dancer

Thank you so much for all of your incredible tips! I have watched all of your tip videos and they have helped me improve my technique so much:) Would you ever consider making a tip video on battement fondu?

[@RebekahJoAnn]

Thank you Maria, I love the "pulling up from the elbows" analogy. It changed my arabesque immediately. I felt like I could balance forever. Also I love the "heap" spelling, so cute. Thank you for making me a better dancer and teacher.

Gracias Maria. Excelente para mis estudiantes.

Can you do an episode on head positions please? It has not been covered by anyone else. Maybe there’s a reason for it but through I’d throw it out there in case you can (anything you can’t do?!)

[@kristinehaerle4935]

I love to see to you blossom 🌸more and more 💕 you are beautiful 😍❤

Perfect, dear Maria !

Can you do a video like this on better attitudes? It‘s such a pretty position but mine looks like garbage 😭

[@swampwitchchic]

You are my idol:)

[@juliak7586]

Thank you so much! Just wanted to let you know that heap is spelled like hip😉

[@nulafand]

Russian doesn't have the short 'i' sound, that's why it comes out more like 'e'

[@DestinyHopeLou]

@@nulafand it‘s a typo around the 6 minute mark.

Hey Maria, thanks for the video. Just a small correction, it's 'hip' not 'heap' ❤️❤️

Мария, спасибо большое за видео. Единственное, нельзя ли убрать фоновую музыку? Вы, наверное, догадываетесь, что для большинства ваших зрителей английский язык не является родным. А говорите вы довольно быстро. В общем улавливать иностранный язык на фоне музыки - это ещё тот челлендж :-)

[@user-xm4oe7bv5z]

Мария, пожалуйста, сделайте Ваши рекомендации и на русском языке. 🤗🌟🌟🌟💐🧚🏼‍♀️❤❤❤

Она обычно чуть позже добавляет русские субтитры

@@yanaavd2080 Живём в России, слушаем английскую речь и читаем субтитры на русском. Парадокс. 😔 А дочка так ждала, что всё-таки будет на русском языке.

Supporting heap or supporting hip?

[@leona5543]

Leave her be, English is obviously not her first language.

[@lfior]

@@leona5543 it's a pretty basic word, I'm sure she'd like for it to be correct.

[@jptenuta]

@@leona5543 to be totally fair her English is still way better than my Russian;)

[@nulafand]

@@lfior Russian doesn't have this sound, so they say the closest thing they have. It can be difficult to hear the difference between and 'i' and 'e' for an ESL person.

[@nulafand]

@@leona5543 Yes, her English is really good. She has a good command of colloquial expressions as well. I was quite impressed.

Please make new cardio and Pilates!!!

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

I love your channel but please do a normal, real life background, not a super-imposed white one. With black tights I can't see the leg muscles and also the blacks tights cut off at the bottom and chop off the line. These things makes it harder and less beautiful to look at your valuable videos. Thank you.
