Rehearsing Talisman for YAGP - see what a private lesson is like. Robbie age 15

[@oliviazender7453]

robbie, when you ran the variation at the end it was so beautiful it made me want to cry :,) you're amazing

[@RomyMacias]

What a beautiful variation. The music is so sweet (Riccardo Drigo). Thanks for sharing this process with us!

[@Heehexd]

You're the reason I've stuck to dance because you're such an inspiration! X

[@mydancetv]

stick with it!! =) That's great!

[@ponyvet77]

very inspiring to see all the hard work that went into those beautiful performances. I ride dressage (so it's my horse that does the dancing!) and my experience is that those "frustrating" lessons where nothing seems to go right are the ones you learn the most from :)

[@mydancetv]

so true!

[@adellezapata566]

Robbie your second variation was so beautiful! You're really great, never give up! :)

[@torijohnson6139]

You take corrections so well. Excellent work!

[@Pandurtles]

You are so amazing Robbie! I'm 13 and I dance and I'm going onto pointe this year so I've been watching a lot of your videos and you are amazing! You will make it big one day! Xxx love you so much

[@sophiea8937]

Yay! you're 15! happy (late) birthday!!

[@Lipsie]

Congratulations Robbie!!! You are a wonderful and verry inspiring dancer!!! Love it!

[@mydancetv]

Thanks!

[@VashtiWalters]

You're 15 now! Happy birthday! =) Your dancing is beautiful!

[@kristiLB93]

Robbie, can you post more videos of Mr. Max coaching you? The instruction is just amazing and I'm sure other dancers out there, like me, would love to glean as much as possible! Great work!!

[@xy2565]

Love watching the full classes thank you! And amazing dancing.

[@koalabear07100]

Robbie you're improving so much!

[@EliseCharlotte]

Those petit bâtements are just lovely!

[@ludwinaeugenia705]

will you post some videos of your performance in YAGP?

[@samanthagoold9828]

I would get so frustrated, I could never do a huge competition like this. But I guess I've never done one really, you don't have them here :D You're amazingly talented, and I hope I'm as good as you when I go on pointe next month!

[@taylorlindsey8420]

Beautiful! Any tips for beginning pointe or how to improve on gracefulness? You have a beautiful presence that I would love to acquire in my dancing :)

[@madibrooke6145]

I noticed that when you you do attitude back, you tend to sacrifice your alignment for height. Instead of moving your ribs to the side, take them straight forward. It also helps keep your leg right behind you instead of diagonally. Good luck in YAGP :)

[@mydancetv]

Thx!

[@loes6A]

Awesome, you get better and better!

[@emilygallagher7626]

Ugh I want your body! So jealous

[@Pheebededebede3]

You are so good I wish I could dance like you I can barely get up on pointe !xx

[@mydancetv]

Keep at it it takes time!

[@balletcrazy16]

Keep going Robbie! Good job!

[@AmericanGirl592]

You make it look so easy

[@nv7126]

good work with your russian teacher!!! what I see is when you are going to do a more difficult step or double pirouette you round your shoulders to gain strength and this is not helping you. Just keep nice a open your shoulders and it will keep you shaped and strong to finish clean and clear. Just add a stronger turn out demiplie, brush that food to gain momentum to the jump a la second, ups this is x the other variation. Good luck, and excellent work!!!

[@trappedinside1]

Does this mean you'll go onto the next round?

[@mychannel4257]

Such hardwork

[@BunHead1999]

Can you do an updated what's in my dance bag? X

[@cyborgsweetner]

Amazing

[@rocio4706]

i think you have to work your arms and hands..they seem weak, without energy...the streching start from the back, then arms and hands, i think you can give them beautiful moves. Well, anyway incredible progress!!!

[@TheDancefreak111]

You're so good! How tall are you?

[@marianaballerina]

are you going to the YAGP finals in New York City?

[@Juliax120]

is your teacher russian?:')

[@amandakitty1989]

Wonderful dancer - but remember you need good amount of food to keep up with your energy needed to dance :)

[@Mellybellymelon22]

how do u manage school?? just wondering c:

[@mydancetv]

Home school. Still not easy. =)

[@jjpatata]

CONSTABLE de salisbury idade dos dezasseis OZIAS!!!

[@dreambe11]

from which choreographer is the variation? I mean, is Bolchoi, RB, Paris opera? thanks in advance

[@mydancetv]

Petipa =)

[@sarafinazuni6781]

are you going to ny? what were you scores

[@patriciadosramos6378]

Robbie i need some help, I have no strength at all on the right leg, I can't do developes, But my arabesque in that leg is just perfect. In the other leg is the completly opposite. my depelope it's great, but I can't do arabesque. What can i do? I have audition for Clara in a few weeks and i rreally want to improve... Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Venezuela.. Btw... i saw all your video, great work!

[@mydancetv]

Maybe inner thigh exercises and strangthen your back. Have someone hold your feet while on stomach and lift your back or do smaller ones by yourself. Try pulses in your arabesque or put your leg on barre like arabesque then raise it few inches up and hold it then go back to barre. You have good English I can't speak any other language at the moment!

[@patriciadosramos6378]

mydancetv Yeah, the english teachers love me... unfortunately my ballet teacher doesn't. hahaha Thank you

[@rachaelsoh5982]

👍👍👍👍👌👌👌😊

[@TheDanceAttitude]

What shoes do you wear?

[@mydancetv]

These are Suffolk Stellar but have been glued a few times. Not looking so good.

[@TheDanceAttitude]

I thought they looked like Suffolk! Best pointe shoe brand for me so far! :)

[@lisafeldkamp2702]

did you loose weight? :/

[@Pandurtles]

Btw I'm a girl :)

[@MrPolalala]

You are a good dancer but you should work on your arms and your face expression

[@cherylmalikpaynexx]

Do you ever feel awkward with having a male teacher?

[@mydancetv]

No. Not at all. I'm used to it I guess. =)

[@MissBerlinerin]

I would have such a crush on him if I were his student

[@mydancetv]

MissBerlinerin ;) ha

[@johnloring3887]

Great job Robbie!!

[@mydancetv]

Thank you!!!
