You basically shift your weight a little bit to the right and create a little bit of momentum, just like you would with a turn except much slower and controlled. it's difficult as hell.
my teacher told me that whenever your balancing in a position that your leg is behind you (attitude, arabesque) imagine there is something pulling out of your chest like right beneath your collarbone and it helps a lot!
I loved how you turned your frustration in the end into like a nice and really useful and true advice. you could've just said '' guys, this video didn't turn out how i wanted it to, so i'm just gonna go to my bed and be sad, see you next time". But you gave this such a hopeful/positive ending , i appreciate that
@@upatmxdnight3493 it's ok, I once had a teacher who told us a saut de chat was a completely different jump than it is and made us do nothing but pirouettes the whole class. She then got upset that we really only had good technique when doing turns. I'm glad I switched studios lol.
hey Mackenzie! i had a small idea seeing that you dont really enjoy that room, i was thinking, why dont you give it a mini makeover? like add some fairy lights and cute stuff :D idk it was just an idea! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
Honestly allowing us too see you struggle and knowing that your in the same boat as some of us with motivation really makes me feel better about these days ❤️
I just found your channel a week ago and obsessed with it! Because I love watching ballet\dance videos so this is perfect for me!😊 Also I love the intro leotard, and skirt your wearing☺️
Continuing Ballet was never an option for me growing up. We couldn't afford it past the first year. Finally, when I got into college, I was able to take ballet classes for my Minor. I just had my first ballet class over the spring semester (had to be up at 6am, drive an hour, in the dead of winter for it!) and then Covid happen. I was planning on spending my whole summer dancing but all of that went away. I have no space in my house really for dancing and I lost all my inspiration for it. Trying now to just do a lot of different stretching and exercise so that when I get back to dance class, it won't be so bad. I really miss dancing!
Just so everyone knows -- the "music box" challenge (turning balance) was created by Yuriko Kajiya at the Houston Ballet!! She's literally a beast I can't deal
Oh sweetie that was very brave of you to attempt to do those moves and honestly, you looked beautiful in each try. Also, the message at the end gave me so much motivation because I have a long way to go and it's good to know that it's okay to be imperfect and that imperfection is art too.
I love watching you! You are so cute. I no longer dance but enjoy watching these vids. I notice your pointe shoes have that beautiful sheen. I saved mine but no longer have that shine..but theyre still pretty. Wish my girls or grandaughters wud have studied but were interested in other things. Enjoy these vids tho. Love you Mackenzie...keep up the beautiful yet hard work! Blessings!! 💕
The ballerina in sleeping beauty was just superwoman. You wont find too many that can do that. You are still young just keep up the hard work. I love all your vids and your attitude.
YOU LOOK AMAZING 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Claudia :) love your channel
Hi Claudia! Your channel is awesome!
OMG hi Claudia! I can’t believe you are here! She did look amazing, though...
😍😍
*my ballet shoes that i haven't touched since march:* 👁 👄👁
Same 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can relate
Ikr
I’m starting a new studio today and my ballet shoes might be too small help
Same here lol 😂
Mackenzie: on this floor these turns aren’t my full potential
*still does amazing turns into like 5 pirouettes*
omg that sleeping beauty one how in the world was she moving 💀
Ikr!?!
ikrrr. skylar is amazing. i really wanted to see her as aurora🥺
she turns out her heel to move

@@scarlotte7773 ohh that makes sense
I literally don’t even know how she did all those things, I dream of someday being as good a dancer as her.
my teacher told me that whenever your balancing in a position that your leg is behind you (attitude, arabesque) imagine there is something pulling out of your chest like right beneath your collarbone and it helps a lot!
Isabella Hope i’ve had multiple teachers say similar things :) it really does help!
Hi Mackenzie, I just had a weird idea, I was thinking maybe u can do some free zoom online classes? Idk it’s just an idea
I like that idea but in New England at least dance school have started to open up! I’m so exited!!! 😁
Tick tock classes!
Jo Skehan luckyyyyyy idk when my classes are gonna open
@@jos3720 lucky I only get like 2 classes a week starting in September
you were just in my class hahah!!!
Girl don’t even you are so talented!! We are all going through quarantine rn we feel youuu!!!

Same, I also didn’t dance properly for a few months! (My school just started this week though)
I've been taking online classes

Loved this video! You are so right! Technique is very important but artistry is what the audience comes to see.
Giiiirl I can't even do 1/4 of what you can do, you're amazing sweetie
Mackenzie: I'm so bad at balancing
Me: struggles to do a reterie on demi pointe
Me: struggles to know what a reterie is because my teachers didn’t teach me proper terminology

Me too
@@upatmxdnight3493 I think it’s when you lift your foot up to you knee atleast that’s what it is in contemporary

On zoom classes, there one girl with a really cute setup, in sure mackenzie would enjoy getting a makeover!
Thats a really good idea! I would love to see her transform it!💕
I cringe every time I see our beautiful Kenzie dance on that strip of Slip-n-Slide. But not watching isn’t an option. Two words: MARLEY FLOOR!😳🤭🤐😬
You're talk at the end was so amazing to hear, really made me feel better and inspired to carry on even on those harder days :) thank you
Honestly allowing us too see you struggle and knowing that your in the same boat as some of us with motivation really makes me feel better about these days ❤️
I love this video so much. You are such an inspiration, I feel like you're so relatable.
You look so good in blue I’m-
Love you kenzieee💞💞

It’s because likes register instantly, but it takes a certain number of watch minutes to register as a view.

Who else thinks she should turn her basement into a studio/a dance space
the inspiring part made me feel so good 🥰!
haha i love how you have humor when you dance it’s makes is so much more fun to watch!

I like that you still put out these videos even though you’re not perfect and that you know that is ok. Also it was way better than I can do.
Just so everyone knows -- the "music box" challenge (turning balance) was created by Yuriko Kajiya at the Houston Ballet!! She's literally a beast I can't deal
You are such an inspiration to me.

Can you please do dancers vs non dancers? I loved those videos so much!
It’s really cool that she can make mistakes and just laugh about it. A lot of people would get upset but she just keeps going 🙂
You should do a make over video on your basement! And make it like a little personal ballet studio!
Stop putting yourself down so much, you're amazing and you should know it!!
We need a Claudia and Mackenzie collection/collab
Godess of beauty.
