Royal Academy of Dance at Home | Beginners Ballet for Adults | Lesson 5

[@VetsrisAuguste]

I am so inspired by your “non-technical warmup”. I believe I am going to share this approach with my beginner ballet classes. Correct me if I’m wrong but the warmup appears to based on stand pre-ballet vocabulary made age appropriate for adults. It’s brilliant!!!

[@jeanaitken8398]

I do the warm up on rising every day! Thank you x

Hello Sarah. May you please send me the name of the song that is used at the beginning of each warm up. It's the melody I fall asleep with. I've been practicing all of the steps of ballet you have offered and I am very grateful and honored of practicing with you through this platform.

[@northcheamacademyofdance7893]

It's "Someone To Watch Over Me" and there are lots of lovely versions around!!

Hello from Brazil

Question: When you do your dramatic finish and do the rise from 3rd, your feet are together. How do you get your feet together?

[@northcheamacademyofdance7893]

It's usually the front foot that draws across and tightens towards the supporting leg. It's an advancement... maybe keep the toes in place to begin, and as confidence builds you can start the drawing in!

Is this the same as week 1?

[@royalacademydance]

Hi Pelin, The lessons start with the same warm up but the content is different.

[@pelinasci4885]

@@royalacademydance Thank you very much!

[@emilyclarezempel1036]

This one is a repeat though! It is also week 2.

[@northcheamacademyofdance7893]

Grand Battements are added on, after the repeat of week 2 exercises.

That piano in the background is irritating!
