[@MaureenMoriartyLempke]

I literally never comment on KZbin. I am a subcriber. I am an athlete (runner and weight lifter) but as I was aging and my body was breaking down. I found your workouts during those awful covid days. I would do your workouts 3 times a week and to my great shock my body began to change in amazing ways. My core was stronger, posture better, but it was the overall shape and tone of my body that changed. More importantly, I was not breaking down physically and I became calmer about exercise in general. I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and the exquisite workouts you create. I can't believe the hateful trollers. I'm in my 50's and have never felt better!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Maureen, thank you so much for commenting and sharing that with me!!! I’m so proud of you and so happy for you! Movement is the best medicine. I’m so incredibly appreciative and grateful for your love and support; thank you! 😘💕

[@gilaprimak7554]

I too am about to turn 50 and went back to exercising after a 2-year break. I found that my usual Yoga was only harming me and causing pain. I found this channel (after searching through a LOT of annoying-voiced and obnoxious-vibes pilates channels) and I am so grateful for it. I've been doing these exercises for 3 weeks now and I can see and feel the difference. Thank you!

[@kirastus]

The truth Desiree. You are a diamond. Exactly all this. I cannot bring myself to put ‘weight loss’ in any of my contents. It is a treacherous area- and you say out loud what any true fitness professional who is worth their salt would agree. I am blessed to have found you.

[@DansiqueFitness]

You’re so sweet! Thank you so much! xoxo 😘😘😘

[@svetlanayordanova9944]

Desiree, you're the best pilates instructor in KZbin, and this comes from a female who's been working out from at since 2008. I agree that there are instructors whose workouts are repetitive and not very creative and shockingly have millions of subscribers Thank you for everything.

[@DansiqueFitness]

I really appreciate that! Sending you so much LOVE Svetlana…💖💛💚💜

[@melhampton588]

You were the first Pilates instructor I followed and never stopped because you are in classic and perfect form and offer awesome music and attitude. I saw others who offered Pilates, checked them out, dropped them asap cuz not the way I learned in private instruction, which is what you provide. I will pay for your instruction. You deserve it. You are a professional!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much Mel! 💖 I’m very much looking forward to having you join my On Demand Family! HUGE HUGS 😘😘😘

[@taffybaver3545]

Hi Desiree, I am a ballet dancer and have been doing your workouts almost everyday for months now, I have noticed so many benefits for me mentally and physically. I appreciate your positivity and how you talk about feeling good, not just changing how you look, unlike a lot of influencers. Thank you so so much for everything you do🥰🥰

[@DansiqueFitness]

My pleasure! And thank YOU for your kindness and support. 😘💕

[@Idk-do4db]

I agree. There's a few yoga/pilate channels with millions of followers. And I just don't get it since the routines are either boring or uninspiring. Your workouts are creative, motivating, and so upbeat! I know you will be successful with your on demand library. Keep up the wonderful work. Your content is awesome.

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you…that really means a lot! 😘💕

[@katerinag.5985]

I’m so sad about the ugly reality that you are experiencing! You are an angel came into my life to help me improve my life with the best way ! You are definitely one of the most talented instructors the way you teach go really deep into our minds making our bodies better and better day by day by constant practice ! I will not give up on you because above all your commitment your passion and your disposition is really appreciated to me!❤

[@DansiqueFitness]

That really means a lot; thank you so much Katerina! I’ll still keep my KZbin channel and I’ll still upload from time to time. 🥰🥰🥰

[@sashadixon9988]

Thank you for never selling us a lie 💗

[@DansiqueFitness]

Not my style! 😘

[@sashadixon9988]

@@DansiqueFitness someone was talking about a youtuber saying why they do click bait titles like you described, saying they have to for views. I think it's obviously true but if you don't want to perpetuate misinformation about your passion (fitness) you definitely have a lot of integrity. It's a tricky one but I'm glad some people still want to be 110% authentic 💗 and don't always think about money over passion :)

[@BushteaWoman]

This!!!!

[@wpp93]

I’m a pilates instructor and I can totally relate. Not everyone is in passionate teaching within this industry. Sometimes the studio doesn’t even acknowledge how much hard work you put into in delivering the classes. I started off doing your workout even before getting myself to dive into my journey becoming an instructor. Your videos are amazingggg and You are definitely one of those who really really put in tons of effort in making all the videos and I love all the moves & sequences you did. I understand the frustration but don’t let these things stop you from being you. I really appreciate the hard work and enjoy your videos a lot!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Hello fellow Pilates instructor! Thank you so much for your understanding, kindness, and support…it really means a lot! 💐

[@isoldejames-griffiths2309]

I struggle to believe for a second that there could be anyone who would write anything ugly about you. You are the sweetest, most authentic and best pilates teacher I have ever come across! You do spread love, joy and hope. A huge hug from this German fan, living in Scotland and a high 🐾 from my Abi who is simply the best at downward dog (and licking my face when I do mine🤣). You are successful and you will be successful because you are QUALITY!❤️❤️❤️

[@DansiqueFitness]

You always brighten my day and make me smile! So grateful for beautiful supporters like YOU! 💛💛💛

[@avam5922]

I LOVE YOU DESIREE!!! Thank you for everything- your hard work does not go unnoticed!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much- that means a lot! 🥰

[@schrodingerspet15]

I’ve tried all the channels on here. Several workouts everyday since 2016. Your channel is so much higher quality than the rest, girl. Like, your videos have changed my body in such positive and honestly painless ways! Your routines, and delicate but specific instruction, are absolutely divine. I’ve fallen into the trap of those mega million views HIIT workout algorithm channels, and they’ve honestly damaged my body and mind. I always come back to Dansique Fitness. I am so grateful for you and that you share your gifts with the world. Hope that your videos will still be available on KZbin! It’s just so easy to click on and I know which videos I love already. Will definitely also use your website! And if I ever get my money right lol, would love to pay you back for all of the knowledge and fitness your channel has given me. You’re the best, Desiree! 💚

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! I’m so appreciative and so grateful for your kindness and support. Looking forward to “seeing” you on my new platform when you can…in the meantime, my KZbin channel will remain up for all to enjoy! 🥰🥰🥰

[@biyatekeela97]

Congratulations Desiree! So excited for you to launch this new platform! I found your videos late in 2019 but you and your workouts truly got me through 2020. You are such a bright light. Thrilled for you and wishing you all the success in the world!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much my beautiful friend! XOXO 😘💕

[@claudiamizuta3812]

Desiree, I am from Brazil and started doing your workouts during pandemic in 2020 and you changed my body and mind! You made me love pilates so much, it truly makes my days better. You are amazing and I will always follow you! Thanks for all ❤

Thank you all that you do, I have gotten so much confidence

[@DansiqueFitness]

That makes me so happy! I’m really proud of you! 😘💕

[@anniejoy7811]

I'm so happy for you, Desiree! I remember thinking, 'How does this lady not have her own subscription platform?' Being able to access so many full length workouts from a professional dancer and Pilates instructor just seemed unreal. I've never seen anything of this quality on KZbin and I've been working out for a decade. I'm happy that you're gaining back control. Thank you so much for all that you've done for us here, and I know bigger and better things are coming ahead for you as you launch DF On Demand!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Wow thank you so much Annie! I really appreciate your kind words and well wishes…and I’m so grateful for supporters like YOU! 😘💕

[@sabelesowieso3383]

Very great Video. I tried one of your Pilates classes quite a while ago and since then every other workout is Kind of boring. Your Pilates classes are on a Higher Level. A friend of mine tried them too and now she's addicted😉. My ballet improved so much because of them and also my posture and overall strength. Your Ballet barres and your Point class and all tue Others workout s are great too. There is No week without them. thank your so so much. And i can totally understand your decission. Big big hugs and lots of Love and just all tue best for your on demand Project😘❤️💪👍

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much! 😘💕

[@claudiaaguirre137]

You have made a very inspiring and powerful choice. I have been watching your videos since the lock down in 2020 (when I had to stop in person pilates sessions) and it was a total savior. I have searched so many pilates videos , and honestly... After I found you in KZbin, i could only find another one that equals the quality (although the different styles) I simply stoped looking for others. With you I learned to recognize the difference between a profound knowledge and creativity and those who just reproduce something else. Thank you so much and all the best for you own plattform!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much Claudia! Your understanding and continued support means the world to me! 😘💕

[@emBODYment360]

CONGRATULATIONS beautiful friend - I'm incredibly thrilled for you & this fantastic news! 🎉❤🎉 I know how much time, effort, & unwavering passion go into making these well-crafted videos; I relate to this so very much. 👯‍♀ Sending you nothing but love & continued success lovely! You are a gem - keep shining bright! 💎🌟💎

You’re the sweetest! Sending tons of love your way! 💖💛💚💜

[@elainelee4828]

You are my favorite workout channel and it is full of artistry. Beauty is part of your production, it is a lost transcendental value. Just to appreciate beauty is a process of cultivating, takes time and effort let alone producing beauty.❤

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much Elaine! I really needed to hear that. 🥰🥰🥰

I just found your channel. Thank you all your hard work! I used to live in a major city and danced ballet and Latin ballroom consistently. However, I moved to a smaller area and unfortunately dance is not really available here. I have put on weight and I have desperately been seeking out a place to dance, and found what I am looking for in your channel. Thank you again!❤❤❤

[@DansiqueFitness]

I’m so glad you found my channel and it’s been resonating with you! I have a beautiful ballet membership on my new platform…I hope you’ll check it out. Your support would really mean a lot to me. HUGE HUGS www.dansique.com/on-demand 🥰💖🩰💐🧚🏼‍♀️

the amount of content you have produced for people is mind blowing. Your generosity on positivity in your videos keeps me (and i'm sure many others) returning. You're own platform is long overdue.... leaving this message as I head over to sign up. The least I owe you from how much of your content I have been able to access and how much your workouts have improved my physical ability. So much love to you!!!! xxxx

[@DansiqueFitness]

Wow! Thank you so much! I really appreciate everything you said…more than you’ll ever know! XOXO 😘💕

[@nanaisloved2736]

Thank you for your honesty. I fortunately started reading studies and following science-based KZbinrs and Bodybuilders this year which helped me tremendously. It's a shame how the algorithm pushes uncertified and clickbaiting people with surgeries and good genetics. So much misinformation out there... People like you are a blessing and I hope your new journey will bring you more validation for the hard work and education you put in🥺💕

[@Angela-yl6gt]

Congratulations on your new platform 🥳. Your teaching style, fitness knowledge, and workout routines are superior to many other Pilates/fitness channels I’ve come across on KZbin. Some of the fitness channels with millions of subscribers post videos with someone doing a workout routine while music plays over the video and little to no instruction is given about form, technique, etc. I prefer and appreciate channels like yours because it’s obvious you have an expertise in what you are teaching and provide instructions, ques, and reminders on correct form throughout the routine. Also, there is a yoga teacher that I subscribe to on KZbin that has less than 100k subscribers but also has her own platform for on demand videos. Her KZbin videos are very good, just like yours, but I signed up for her online platform and prefer those since they are really geared towards dedicated yoga students rather than “yoga for weight loss” or “10 minute yoga for flexibility” which seem to be geared for the algorithm. So, with all of that being said, I’m looking forward to checking out your new platform and I think you are an exceptional teacher and wish you continued success😊.

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you SOOO MUCH Angela! I’m really appreciative and grateful for your kindness and support. Sending so much love your way…💖💛💚💜

Thank you Desiree for being so transparent with your fitness family! J'ai été très émue par ''My Big Annoucement''. Tu es d'une grande honnêteté et tes vidéos aussi! Je n'ai jamais senti que tu jouais le ''KZbin game''. Je fais les exercices en me servant de mon corps, mais de ma tête aussi... J'ai commencé à faire tes exercices durant le confinement et je continue chaque jour depuis, en combinaison avec mes cours de ballet à Montréal. Mon corps s'est considérablement renforci et assoupli (and, yes, my legs are long and elegant now)! Chaque vidéo est professionnelle, inventive (I am aware of the work behing each video) et remplie d'amour pour ceux que tu ne vois pas, mais qui sont avec toi. Big hug! 🙏

Honestly. As a dancer I have always struggled with finding additional workout activities that I would be able to stay with since all of them bored me. However, I cane upon this platform that is just amazing because I actually enjoy these exercises (especially the fact, that there is this stretching element always included). I really find it to be utterly unique. Coming from Prague here;)

Hello Désirée. Je ne mets jamais de commentaires sur KZbin mais je suis touchée par la sincérité et la vérité de ton message. Je n'ai plus le temps de danser mais je retrouve tout le plaisir du travail de la barre et du corps dans tes cours qui m'aident autant physiquement que moralement. A très vite sur ta plate-forme et un grand merci pour ton travail. Annette

Don’t worry, I’m keeping my channel up so everyone can enjoy the 200+ videos for FREE! 🥰🥰🥰 3 new workouts coming this month! 💕

What I love so much about this, about you, and the short time I've been a companion on your journey, is seeing how empowered you are. And how multifaceted! You can do more editing with your videos than I'd dream of (yet another reason why I'm not even going to try to do the YT creator tango), and you are REALISTIC about what you're offering. There's a level of realness that I wouldn't have thought would be so difficult to understand, but then again, I was born pre-internet and my world feels different. I'm so privileged to see you make this unique leap to an environment that is yours to craft with all the worldbuilding and creative kinetic offerings that you are drawn to make. Hearing you share a disappointment that somehow you feel subpar due to conditions outside of your control (ie other people and algorithms) hurts my heart for you. That you're taking your own steps to do things in the way that is most authentically YOU, that heals it. THANK YOU for doing so much to share your light, your gifts of spirit, inspiration and the transformative qualities of dance (and pilates!) in a way that will allow you to shine the brightest. 🥰💓👼

[@DansiqueFitness]

Kristi, I really adore you! You always bring a smile to my face! 🥰🥰🥰 I’m soooo incredibly appreciative and grateful for your kindness and support. Sending you a HUGE SQUEEZE!!! 🤗💕🤗💕🤗💕🤗

[@itsirkeel]

@@DansiqueFitness I can't imagine trying to make a living in this environment, much less try to squeeze my own personality and outlook into the format! I'm SO glad you've made plenty of space where you can be your most authentic self. XOXOXOX

You’re back! I ve been longing for your return, knowing that you will make it big. I was moved by your comments about all the obstacles you encountered on your path. I love your work from the beginning and I thank you after three years for shaping a better me! I wish I would be a new Yorker to go to your school. Unfortunately I m across the Atlantic my very near from your heart 😍😍

I could heart all the wonderful comments but I’d like to speak for myself and say you are incredible. I’m so sorry you have experienced any negativity. Clearly it’s them not you. It’s sad that others feel the need to bring down others. Wishing you ALL the best and thank you for continuing to make videos for us. ❤

[@michele_michele]

You have my support always. I have been so frustrated with you re: YT. I always try to click like on dozens of comments every day, hoping the notification will remind them to come back to your videos again, and also hoping it will improve the algorithm in your favor. In my life experience, often the best gems are lesser known. My favorite musicians since childhood are not platinum artists. You do have a caliber of quality, experience, knowledge, creativity, passion and compassion that I am not seeing on YT. I know that wonderful blessings will come your way. I am excited to participate in your library. I will once I get a new job. For now I will continue to support you on YT. You have changed my life and my mentality. I am calmer, stronger in my body, mind and spirit, and love the way I look and feel. You are amazing. I appreciate you so much and I love you. ♥️Some of us do know what you describe here. My fiancée has 200something subscribers on his music channel here on YT, and he is very talented. Hang in there and I wish you all the success in the world! There’s no one like you on earth. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💕😘😍🙏🏽

[@le6073]

Hi Desiree, I found your channel during the pandemic and have been doing 2-3 of your workouts every week since then, and every day when I can. I haven’t done anyone else’s classes in 3 years, so I almost can’t comment on other online instructors! I have wanted to write something for a long time, after the classes I have loved, the classes I didn’t as much, the classes that were hard and the ones that were perfect for me at the time. It seems now is the time to finally write. Your dedication, passion, honesty and expertise shine through every class. Although I will admit I am slightly disappointed that I will not be getting the thrill of seeing a new class pop up, I applaud your next step and wish you all the very best, as you deserve it for all the effort and good energy you have put out. Hope to see you on your new channel xx

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much for commenting! 🥰💕 I really appreciate your understanding, kindness, and support! I’ll still be uploading to KZbin as often as I can…in fact I have 3 new workouts coming out this month! I’m looking forward to “seeing” you on my new platform - now offering 3 different memberships for you to choose from! 🥳🥳🥳

[@marytullis8206]

Congratulations on the release of your On Demand Library! It's a win for all of us fans too because now we'll have access to more of your fabulous workouts, and we'll be able to give you the support you deserve. Like Grace k said "you are a diamond"! You are a true, very highly qualified professional through and through. I was so lucky to find you considering how over saturated KZbin is with others who are questionably or not at all qualified. You not only have the best workouts, but have the artistic ability to present them in a way that makes the online format seem much more personable. 🤗👏❤

[@DansiqueFitness]

Awww Mary, that really means a lot! Thank you so much for always lifting me up and making me feel so loved and appreciated. I adore you. HUGE HUG! 🤗💕🧚🏼‍♀️🤗💕🧚🏼‍♀️🤗

[@sonian.5248]

Thanks, dearest Desirée, for your kind and sincere talk to those who, like me, really love and support you, as you've been giving us so much valuable in terms of humanity and knowledge. It's a good project, one has to move on and away from uncomfortable situations, be loyal to oneself. I'll be following you as much as possible, wishing you all success and happiness you deserve wherever you are. Love & hugs from Madrid. You're the best, don't forget! 💜😍🙋🏻‍♀️

You talk about the growing problems that you meet when going public; mental ill-health; rudenesses; aggressiveness etc and I fully understand your decision. I thank you so much for you fantastic instructions and southing voice and has been fan of your videos for a long time because you are a professional trainer that take care of body; mind and soul: And it’s so god that you emphasize that the key to wellness is to eat healthy and that plenty of practice make perfect; I wish you good luck in the future 🙏🏽

So funny, I did my first Pilates workout a few days ago that was included in one of my ballet app subscription and I felt great especially today after a 30 min workout. But then that was it, I had to subscribe to this other persons membership to get more pilates workouts, and I’m thinking… man, another one? I don’t think I can afford it until my ballet subscription is over. I looked I. KZbin and found you and I love how the programs are so organized and well thought out. I will definitely subscribe on your website as soon i as I finish a few programs from your KZbin account. I love this video, with your honesty and letting us know the realities of what you do. I’m so excited to venture more into Pilates and I thank you for making that possible for me to do that. All the blessings in your new venture and I know that you’ll be very successful!

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I’m looking forward to “seeing” you on my new platform when you can - I’m now offering 3 different memberships for you to choose from (at different price points)! 🥳

[@machitect]

@@DansiqueFitness no, thank you! And I have to say, you look great! it’s really a big motivation factor for me because I know your workouts make you look and feel great that way. I cant believe this is my first time really feeling how great Pilates is.

[@kimnorris8301]

Desiree, I love all that you do to inspire dancers, would be dancers, and older overweight people like me who love to dance no matter what. I don’t know how the on demand channel universe works, but I hope I figure it out so that I can continue to follow you on the journey of goodwill, good health and beauty you impart on the world

[@DansiqueFitness]

Thank you so much for your kindness and support…I’m very grateful! 😘💕

[@shieldmaidenforchrist1310]

I definitely support you. The reason I love your workouts more than most I have tried is that you are a dancer, and therefore understand dancers' bodies. As an adult ballet dancer, this is really important to me because I don't have unlimited time to devote to cross training and conditioning, so it's important that what I do be beneficial for general fitness, but also support my goals to be the best dancer I can be. I always interpreted the "for weight loss" to indicate a type of intensity in the workout. Pilates can be primarily about alignment and improving posture, which may be at a slower pace and low intensity, if that's the goal of the workout. If I'm looking to get both pilates benefits and workout at a level that supports my goal of getting somewhat leaner at the same time, I'll look for one that says "for weight loss." It's really unfortunate that people who need to lose weight and are struggling don't take the time to investigate why they might be struggling and address those issues rather than complaining to a trainer on the internet while failing to discover and address things like insulin resistance, lack of sleep or food intolerances that cause inflammation that need to be dealt with in order for their body to heal and be healthy.

[@DansiqueFitness]

Yes agreed. I think perhaps people who are new to health/fitness get so overwhelmed in the beginning (understandably so). Weight loss isn’t just about moving…it goes way beyond that. I really do appreciate your love & support; thank you! 🥰
