Pointe Class with Laurel

[@kathymyers7279]

I love how she’s correcting with such detail and seems to care about everyone. Not just the class stars. I never see that! Why don’t ballet teachers TEACH ? That’s what class is FOR !

Point class with yanny

The girl in the black dress on absolutely stunning!

[@ultravioletspirit]

Great pointe class, I wish I had a pointe class like this.

[@mackenziedora2114]

When the music at 32:00 reminds you of Shrek and you lose focus on the dancing 😂

[@dancing9504]

Hi ! I'm an italian girl and i love your ballet academy. I watch every day your videos and I like listening the corrections because is very helpful. Thanks so much! I think that every girl in the class are very motivated and they are my inspiration to help me to do the best that can do. Sorry for the terrible english XD

[@edwardbury5394]

Minnie Mouse 😘 ballet silent art

[@Mia-xg1wm]

dancing your english was perfect!!!! Except a small grammar mistake it would be I watch your videos every day instead of I watch every day your videos. Your English is amazing!

[@TheAlinaBallerina]

Excellent class! I'm transcribing it to my Pointe students online and they are sweating!

[@katie9294]

Very helpful! I take pointe, and I saw the corrections that they made which I started to do. Thanks for the extra help!!

[@roos624]

Thank you so much yanny for that great pointe class!

[@AlexanderKedrov]

Very good class, Laurel! Very energetic, great explanations!

[@JackdawWishesTTV]

This is similar to my pointe class. My teacher does roughly the same steps. Our centre is done differently though. We spend a lot of time at barre and if we want more centre work we go to a different class. I like this video. A great follow along.

[@Alex211gr]

I think i have seen your comments in every ballet video that exists :D

[@austinacmes]

Very rich exercises in this pointe classes. Wish it was offered in my area everyday.

[@alexaiwan1076]

These Videos are really great. Thx for sharing!

[@naydaniella]

Hi! Can you post a beginner pointe class video? I would like to see your work with the beginners! :) I admire your work. Kisses from Brazil

j adore merci beaucoup ca fait du bien faire cette mervilleuse classe

[@nikkiar.1880]

I love how the teacher is like *cute laugh* strong arms! And my teacher pulled us from our arms to go further in chasse meaning we also went faster and higher and was kinda terrifying the first time

[@danceluver1236]

Hey so I have a question, I have been doing ballet for around 6 years, I am now 18 and in college so I don't go to a studio anymore. The dance program I want to get in at my college requires the dancers to be on pointe. I practice everyday, and have pretty strong ankles. A little background is I was at a very competitive dance company and was in the advanced ballet class. They had a rule that you had to study ballet for five years, be at least twelve, and be in the advanced ballet class. Since I didn't dance five years of ballet until my senior year in high school they didn't think about putting me on pointe. I really would like to get on pointe soon and am just wondering if it would be a good idea to go and buy pointe shoes?

[@interactiveacademyofperfor7696]

The answer by Laurel is; it sounds like you would be strong enough to go on Pointe. The best way to know for sure is to have a teacher look at you and do an assessment. If that is possible that is what I would recommend. However, from what it sounds like I think point shoes would be fine for you.

[@aichasane2589]

danceluver123 ok

[@hannahharrison175]

Go to a fitting store, ask the lady what she thinks. Talk to the instructor at your college about maybe private classes en pointe for you to build up the skills and also attend the regular classes

[@rebeccagaura8220]

What CD is this? Love the music!! The class was very helpful too!

[@fionacraig2012]

Rebecca Gaura I have no idea but it's what we use in class, half way around the world lol

I heard yanny

[@manga12]

hmm this is a nice introspective, seen world ballet day, but its broken up and has interviews as well as more focused on rehersing as opposed to general instruction and how it goes. but the girls do have nice form in their feet they look like they have done this for a spell of time

[@CoachDwightDBA]

I love this

[@j.o8272]

sorry but I have one correction, some of the dancers are clanking on their pointe and flexing their feet before turns and I'm starting to worry that they might get an injury, however they did great at trying and not giving up most of the time some of this stuff can be too advanced for some girls...

[@oonaghoferrall140]

Ahhhhhhh omg why are they looking at there feet the whole time 😫

[@gsahara8405]

Me watching this at 20 years old knowing I'll never be a ballerina

[@andresarbelaez7676]

do not look at the floor when you are working facing the barre

[@maryellencassy5353]

Do you do private lessons?

[@kaca2903]

Why is the teacher going en pointe in sneakers?

[@summer-zc1vg]

Katarina they're dance sneakers, they offer the teacher (who often teaches multiple classes) more support than a traditional pointe shoe:)

[@kaca2903]

Yeah, I've noticed many ballet teachers did the same in similar looking (black, similar parted sole) sneakers. :)

[@nathanielcraig3588]

Katarina She probably isn't going on to full pointe, just a really high demi pointe, and she's supporting all her weight on the barre when she does so... lol

[@shippermd]

Nathaniel Puttonen so they make pointe sneakers?!

[@cbudzyn]

Shipper No, they make demi pointe shoes (that don’t offer full support-you cannot go onto the full pointe or have your entire body weight supported). Dance sneakers are completely different they have a slight rise on heel of the shoe, ballet slippers and pointes are completely flat. Some sneakers have a flattened front edge that allow dancers to do moves like roll over their toes and yes you can balance but you can’t full out dance like a pointe shoe.

[@hermionegrainger2139]

Proud of you girls

[@lindseykelly8091]

Does anyone know what music she is using?

[@nicholebro9455]

Some of the dancers are looking down at the barre

[@alexandramiller4932]

Laurel far away from knowing Vaganova Education. I hope Katerina will be able to enrich her studio with truly amazing teachers from Vaganova Academy.

It's yanny sorry had to say it

[@johneconomou246]

A proper point cannot be carried at this pace, the girls haven't got the time catch up with their placement,which is more important! Please,slow down a bit!

[@TheMixedMartian]

It’s yanny

[@ellajohns245]

Girl in all black was the only one remotely good and in control.

[@eveliendegros1137]

Very nice exercises, girls with quite good technique, but why the screaming?? Takes all the fun out... :-/ Motivate them instead of yell at them... they'll be even better! You can tell from the rare compliments she gives, the girls immediately start to smile and work harder... Keep up the good work, it's paying off! :)

[@skaka5226]

Evelien Degros she isn't screaming she is encouraging them and getting excited???

[@lindanichisti3613]

It may seem like screaming, but she is making sure her students can hear her over the music. I know I am loud when I teach. It hypes me up and hypes up the girls, especially when they are getting tired and need that push to finish.

[@nathanielcraig3588]

east c If you think dance shouldn't be fun you shouldn't dance, it obviously isn't for you if you don't enjoy it. Just because ballet is demanding and painful doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be fun, it is (and should be) a hell of a lot of fun if you have the passion and dedication for it you brought up yourself.

[@52worship]

@@sanai2789 NO NO NO! Soujie! Dance is supposed to be fun!!! WRONG YOU ARE~!~~~

[@jeanmarieclark6464]

No yanny

[@beefitze7281]

are the students not meant to remember and execute the steps themselves? why the screaming above the loud music ? the tempo should be the cue to the exercise, the teacher may use the time to indicate a correction , a useful skill for a dancer to correct during the exercise , in some schools, very student is expected to be silent , still and attentive for every explanation from the teacher to the whole class, no late comers !!!!!!

why do they walk with legs outwards like that, looks like rickets or knock knee kind of walk.Feet should be straight while walking and face outwards only when perfoming.Can these people even run with feet deformed like that?

It annoys me that her hair isn't in a bun.

[@itsaboutlife9829]

Are you talking about the teacher? Teachers should look like teachers, not students. When you look into the classroom you should be able to tell who is teaching class and who it taking class. Not that a teacher cannot wear a bun. It is just not considered "how a teacher HAS TO look".

[@kathymyers7279]

Maryellen Cassy then your easily annoyed.

[@52worship]

Teachers should not scream at their students! Show them the the correct way to do the step. SO UNPROFESSIONAL!

[@ravinrose7383]

My teacher screams at us. It gets her point across
