I don't think anyone has collected this material so well in a single video. I wish I had this video 8 years ago when I started. It would have saved hours of piecemeal learning with books and diagrams.

This is incredibly useful with the explanation about the tendus in relation to your body and your body in relation to the room! I feel like I might really be able to remember this now. I'm also very interested in differences between schools and would love to see a video on that!

What a great (and thorough) video! I really like that you do front and back. At one point you make an offhanded comment about schools of ballet and arms. I wonder if you might do a video comparing the different schools? In university, I took an adult ballet class that I now realise was Balanchine - but at the time, just “ballet”. Now (years later, after a long break) I’m doing two classes a week, one Vaganova and the other RAD (although taught by someone originally trained in Vaganova). Initially the ride from Balanchine to Vaganova was pretty bumpy, as it felt like all the details in my technique were wrong, and I really had no idea what was going on! Now as I understand a bit better, I find I enjoy the contrast in techniques .. but also that I don’t have a good grounding in the differences, and so sometimes don’t understand what is important. I also feel like I would appreciate Balanchine much better now than I did then! A video talking about these topics would be really great. Thanks.

Wonderful! The only video I have on the head on the channel right now is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYKuaJmFZpWmm8U Many of the same principles apply, for how to use your head when your arm is high, a la seconde, or in arabesque. I'll consider doing another video on general "epaulement" as it's called, when you add in the head motions and a slight cambré to the body positions!

I see the efface back but is there an ecarte back?
@BrocheBallet3 жыл бұрын
Only in Vaganova! Ecarte back is facing the same direction as ecarte front, except your back leg is the one in tendu side, and your back arm is the one that is high. Hope that helps! :)

@@emily-rb5dk Gotcha, yes! Those schools use ecarte back, whereas Cechetti doesn't. Croisé back is also sometimes done with the other arm in those other schools as well, so keep an eye on where that croisé back arm is when your teachers are demo'ing. Hope that helps! Happy dancing :)
