Simple Ballet Leg Exercise: TENDU

[@rosemariebelgira9865]

Yay! I've been dreaming of studying ballet since I was a little girl but my father didn't allow me. Now, that I'm 66 that long-time dream has come back. Wondering what should be the first basic move that I should follow. Just found your video. Thank you for sharing your talent. More power to you. Warmest greetings from the Philippines!

So wonderful that you are ready to give yourself the gift of ballet! Start with my Ballet Basics playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLndbff-Q6PM3D13wh5024yzBKCpPh2FKH

Wow this was a fun lesson, what is this wonderful music I must have for practicing! Thank you much love

[@everydayballet]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! The music is the Habanera from the ballet Carmen. It’s such a sassy, fun piece that always makes me smile 🥰🩰✨

[@ritrishamondal659]

This is sooooooo fun!!!!

[@everydayballet]

So glad you enjoy it!!! 👏🏻🎉🥰🩰✨

"Cut the toes!" "Toe to knee!" :D This was fun. Music-wise, one of my favourite parts in 'Carmen.' Thank you. Loving your leotard and full outfit! :)

[@everydayballet]

So happy it gave you some joy! Yes, the music just makes it feel so fun and sassy… This is one of my favorite leotards (Ballet Maniacs) because the print is of Marie Taglioni in a romantic length tutu. The square cut neck and soft blue color are a dream!!! 💖🩰🌸

Hi Tieka, this exercise is great. Can you please give the actual 'beat' for the bend in the first section of the moves? Is it 1-2, 1-2, bend-2? Thank you.

[@everydayballet]

I think you are asking for the ‘counts’ for the first sequence-stretch (1), close (2), stretch (3), bend (4), stretch (5), lower/press (6), stretch (7), close (8). Hope this helps! 😊🩰✨

[@Two_Bluebirds]
