I have had back pain for 2 years now due to the first incorrect technique you showed. I’m not really sure if it was a stress fracture but I’ve seen 2 physios and the pain gets frustrating at night or after dance. I also take an anti inflammatory daily. I wonder how to treat it. The physios have taught me to engage my core and not hyperextend each way but idk. My next bet is a chiropractor.

Fascinating: have never seen it explained like this

I was doing ballet for 3 years and NO ONE told me that before. Thank you.

This was the best lesson on the anatomy of the arabesque that I have ever seen in my life! I needed this! I’m an older dancer, and the compression in my low back just kills me when I do it wrong. I’m going to practice and practice what you have taught here! Thank you!❤

I only partially agree with that. The dancer must move her back forward, bit straight not down, to prevent that tight crease in the back

Какой бред! Арабеск получается за счет спины.

Arabesque piano look it up

Why did Alice have her true love for ballerinas?

I'm who here in quarantine cause I am

Both the boy and the girl sort of figured it out intuitively: the speed at which you plie and enter the turn. A pirouette is an athletic "explosive" movement, so it makes no sense to pause or "gather oneself" beforehand. I don't think it's too common to emphasize this, but even this young boy realizes it. He goes immediately from the plie, while the girl does the "double plie," because her body (everyone's) wants to do it the same as the boy did (standard athletic stretch reflex), but maybe she got used to a slower preparation somewhere along the line. I think you see this often in females. It's the equivalent of taking a small plie before your "main plie" for a jump; there's no real point to it, unless you're trying to fill time. Many combinations have too much music for each turn, until you're doing several pirouettes, so most people [beginners] consciously slow down the whole process, maybe to detriment. It's like teaching someone to throw a baseball. You can show stills of the important positions, but you can't do the whole movement slowly. Olympic weightlifting is another example. Even when they're warming up with light weights, they keep a high speed, because it's simply intrinsic to the technique. If there was better cross-talk between dance, exercise science, physics, maybe dancers would improve faster.

Wow

This is great advice! Now returning to ballet after several years off I am even more conscientious about technique to prevent injury. Always had trouble with my extensions and felt like I was gripping in my back which is very limiting for getting the leg above 90. The correction I always got when I was younger was to focus on lengthening the back and to focus on keeping my back square but this was a missing piece of the puzzle.

The nutcracker is so different now

bach, j.s.

what is a old apitite in ballet

Muy bueno

Hola

Wow! this is really useful!

I was in this and go to this studio I was a hedgehog and butterfly

That is right lady, save your back so you can get a hip joint replacement instead! very smart dushe bag

good instruction; thanks.

Latisha Pearl we wear belts for hip alignment and they are different colors depending on the level

I didn't see a difference between the the ugly line and the beautiful one. Can someone explain it to me?

Finally someone who KNOWS what they are teaching... just saw some dangerous rubbish on the net, but this is knowledge!

wish u have a video like that about cambre...

Hey, Charlie! Nice video! Very informative!

Looking forward to seeing you tonight! Brian and Sherri.

Fabulous video production Ms. Wood: very well done, and thank you!

I saw Part II of this performance. I liked the part where the baby turns into a dog and pulls on the blanket.

It's all very well for you to write "Disclaimer: Please only perform these moves under the instruction of a ballet instructor. Consult a doctor before beginning ballet or any exercise program." but when I did consult the doctor he fell about laughing and said I'd better not go anywhere near it and I ended up leaving with the usual prescription for aspirin anyway and the usual seventy pound bill.

That was AWESOME, everything from the scenery to the costumes was just perfect and it looks super fun! The thing I like the most though is that it doesn't really look much like a ballet but a musical instead, because of all those costumes and the way the characters act and that is just so new and refreshing to me! You are all so talented, I applaude you :)

Verdammt kriegt der sein Bein hoch :O

so how do you find that joint in the higher leg? i try it but don't get it

This is absolutely brilliant! I've been scouring the net because I felt my arabesques were very unnatural and I tried doing this once and it feels like I finally get it! Thank you very much for sharing!

Why are they wearing belts?

Truly timeless. Just came from a life show -- an annual family tradition.

Started 4 months ago and love it :) Its never too late

Omg! Young patrick :))

It's never too late! I started when I was 18, and still loving it nearly 10yrs later. Many people think I've been dancing since I was a kid and they are really surprised when I tell them I started as an adult. GO FOR IT!!!

I always admired ballet so much! But I'm afraid that if I try it at my age I could only hurt myself :(

Never too late to dance! I'm 15 and just started (: It's so much fun!

PVP SAAAN

We are doing AlICE thats who i am playing but its a more mordern version like there are phones and leggings instead of a dress its gonna be so much fun

I'm also 18 and I'm going to start ballet classes this thursday! You don't need to be embarrased :D

so basically, don't open your hips when you're at 90 degrees or less

Vamos, no tienes de que avergonzarte, en mi clase, hay una chica que se llama Emma y tiene 21 c:

That's cool, but my leg does not go that far up.

you so should! I only started when I was 13 and now that I have been dancing for over a year, it's opened up so many opportunities for me! believe me you should start! never too old to start :)

Ugh, I've watched this video so many times, and while I understand it in theory, I just can't make my body do that. No matter what I do, I always end up getting a crease in my back. It's so frustrating!
