Vaganova. Ballonne on pointe exercise, levels 3, 4, 5, 7

Ballonne on pointe is introduced in Vaganova during level 3. I’ve included 4 levels in this video to show how Ballonne becomes more complex during the training.

Oh Lord the girl who they zoomed up on at first looked dangerously thin

[@euridicesacramentomariani6953]

Yes. Anorexy?

[@cassandradoyle3609]

Yes, though they are still children so it's best not to make assumptions. Many children are naturally very thin.

Could just be very boney or it could be an eating disorder, but idk

[@daniellemetcalf8105]

She’s definitely not naturally that thin. So sad.

[@anasamente5971]

Anorexy. Bulimy.... hard. Not normal girl.

Well now I don't feel so bad if they don't start doing ballonnes on pointe until year 3! I'm an older adult (52) doing pointe work for one year and I am struggling with those ballonnes! I can do them at the barre with one hand on barre but in center it's very intimidating and still almost impossible for me. I did four years of pointe work many years ago as a teenager but it sure feels different now with a 5' 5.5" 112 lbs adult body age 52 than it did at 90 lbs and 15 lol. I am trying out a variation on pointe and the only little section I can not master is a ballonne with leg to front. I am determined to get this but maybe I am pushing myself too hard if this is a more advanced move than I am capable of right now?
