Thank you so much for this! The explanations are excellent, and I always find myself coming away from your videos with new ways of looking at familiar steps. Keep up the great work!

Hello! Just one doubt: in 4:23 Croisé derrière you put your up arm the same as leg behind; in 6:29 Croisé derrière you put your up arm different of the leg behind. Wich one is the right way? Thanks.
@TheWholePointe4 жыл бұрын
ah good eye! This is an older video and I have never caught that before 🙈 They can both be correct the one at 4:23 is more Vaganova and 6:29 is more Cecchetti. Thanks for pointing that out! May be time for a new video 🤔😝

Thank you so much for this breakdown! I started three years ago at age 25, but still I find myself frustrated because they don't like to break things down to this degree in the adult recreational classes, as I'm basically the only one who didn't grow up with foundational ballet training! This exercise of flowing through and recognizing the positions will definitely help my classes now, so thanks!!!

Mine is effacé devant .. It is not as easy as expected cause every position is quite similar to one each other. But this video is really helpful. I like it very much. Thank you for all your explanations. And happy new year! All the best

I like effacé devant as well especially taking a balance and then pulling out of it into a tombe pas de bourre! I hope you had a very good new year too! ❤

I am still confusing between efface and ecarte. Could you briefly explain the difference? And I am having a hard time positioning hands too.
@TheWholePointe5 жыл бұрын
Effacé is to the front and back and ecarté is to the side. I have a small video that I filmed the same day as this one where I speak directly about the arm and leg correlations for these positions I show. I will go ahead and post it in case it could be helpful. Are you having trouble with the arm positioning or specifically the hands? Perhaps I could make a video specifically on ballet hands.

Not sure if you’ve mentioned it before, but what style of ballet did you train in? I ask because I’m more familiar with the 8 positions of the body as it is in Cecchetti. Great video and beautifully explained and demonstrated ❤️
@TheWholePointe5 жыл бұрын
I feel like I am a true mutt! Starting late I took class from everyone! So I took class in Vaganova, Balanchine and Cecchetti but most of it was just american mash up. I teach it this way because I like to divide it into the 3 positions front,side and back but then I teach Epaulé a little later.
