Thank you for the breakdown. I’m taking classes again as an adult. The teacher introduced this and I felt like a bull trying to dance. Lol. After this tutorial I can at least not feel so clunky and uncoordinated.

[@averycutecat1852]

this is a very clear tutorial on balancé! I always had difficulty about the coordination of the movements in the upper body and lower body when doing balancé the breakdown of the movements is very helpful.

Great instructional video. I'm 62 yo and want to get back into ballet

[@youandmecold]

You are super, it's very helpful. Thanks so much!

[@charlynbrown9399]

only Balancé video on KZbin that really helps!!

[@jamieq4717]

That was a great explanation and demonstration. I had a difficult time following balance' in my second (ever) ballet class, but your video really helped! I especially liked how you also did the moves facing away, so that I could follow along with you exactly. Thanks:-)

So helpful thank you we were doing this in class going forward then going back then going side to side then going front then a jump was so hard I felt so embarrassed because I didn’t get the hang of it the teacher said it was easy but …… I’m a adult beginner 😊

THANKS SO MUCH! BALANCE TUTORIAL for BEGINNERS is the BEST on the WEB. Really HELPED ME TO LEARN IT. ~Bettina

The feet make all the difference. The articulation makes it look so much better

[@esstown]

You explained it very nicely.

[@lynnmiller4669]

This was really helpful - thank you!

[@drcy222]

Thank you!!

[@susanhendler5633]

The starting instructions could have been a little slower to show exactly what the feet were doing for those of us that are true beginners. Your tutorial on Pas de bouree accomplished this much better. I had to slow this balance tutorial down to half speed. 😯 but I did finally get it! Thanks!

[@moedschoolofdance1933]

So helpful...thank you

[@Anna-vz5jl]

Thank you . We just did this today in our beginner adult class . Just like that ... it was so hard for me . I couldn’t get it . We were going diagonally 😞

[@hollyshamley7483]

You are so welcome!

[@rinsotbap]

im curious like if you want to start ballet at 15, do you go for a beginners class first?

[@elysianlogolepsy9047]

Karen Loh yes beginners if you’re starting at 15 , good luck

[@cuntiana]

absolutely a beginner class

[@lisabrattoli4283]

I feel like I’m doing a go-down instead of a beautiful ballet movement. I do this in class and still can’t get it. Every time I practice it but I can’t get it to look fluid. So frustrating for me. The other students are le@ending turns with it but here’s lisa in the back doing a ho-down. Lol

[@BallerinasByNight]

Haha, it's a tricky one for sure! Keep at it and you will get it! Let us know if you have any specific trouble spots!!
