Thank you so much! I've wished I "could ballet" most of my life and here i am at 30, recovering from knee surgery, able to learn ballet arm movements for the first time. It's way more emotional than I anticipated. Studying up for when I'm healed! I love your language and that it's inclusive while staying true to the craft. You have found the delicate balance that's impossible for most to achieve. Brava!
Thank you! It's really wonderful to hear that you find my teaching style to be both inclusive and authentic/informative--this is everything I try to bring to the table! I'm glad you've found Everyday Ballet, and I hope you'll take this opportunity of healing to start doing ballet! Best wishes to you for a thorough, healthy recovery! I look forward to sharing more ballet with you! Kind regards, Tiekka
Beautiful and magical flow. Thank you making Ballet so accessible to all. It is so great to practice at home and really get a sense of what ballet offers the body and the soul ~
Thank you so much. When I was a little girl maybe 4 I was at I'm guessing someone's recital I was in awe, and I remember looking up telling my mom I wanted to be a ballerina, but we were very poor little time marched on and now 56 years later I am going to take a class.
I love the kind and inclusive vibes of your channel, it is one of a kind and such a niche - thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us! I grew up in a small town and didn't have access to dance classes, and now have confidence to practice these beautiful postures and moves as a 30 year old thanks to YOU
This makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for sharing! I believe that when we love something we must share that part of it (the love). It is such a privilege and honor to be able to share what I love with love and kindness. And it makes my day to know you feel welcomed into ballet and the beauty and self-discovery it offers. 👏👏🥰🩰✨💖
I cannot believe im finding your channel so late, i always wanted to learn ballet but couldnt due to financial reasons, i feel like with your channel, i can actually learn and understand ballet finally. I love the way you instruct its so detailed and your voice is so relaxing. I really find doing ballet with you therapeutic, it reminds me to take things slowly. Thank you so much once again, i really cannot ever express my gratitude enough for you.
Thank you for your kind words-I so appreciate them! And I’m DELIGHTED you have found my channel and are giving yourself the opportunity to learn (and love) ballet! It is a deep privilege to share my love and knowledge of ballet with you! 🙏🥰🩰✨
This was insanely humbling!!!- The fact that he SIMPLEST of arm stretches make me sweat was so insightful into the grueling art of ballet- Simply trying to attempt to move my arms with fluidity made me gasp in pain..... My jaw was on the floor when I realized how flexible you need to be to make it look effortless! I thought I pulled something in my necK for a second on the arabesque!🤣 Ballerina's are OTHERWORLDLY!! Literally amazing. Infinite respect
I'm so glad you didn't pull your neck! And I hope perhaps you will do the exercise on a regular basis to help stretch and strengthen your upper body! Yes, doing ballet arms is challenging--but it does look so effortlessly beautiful... Now you know how much is happening beneath the surface. 😉💕🩰
Oh please, i just love your ballet lessons, since i was small i loved ballet and wanted to learn it, but since i am an indian, i won't be able to do it here, and right now I'm 13 and I'm learning ballet lessons from your channel, i just love how you explain it, hope you can still keep on uploading these ballet classes for us who loves to learn ballet but can't. -with lots of love, Your unknown student💓
I remember being about 4 years old and an aunt asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I told her I wanted to be a ballerina. She told me all the reasons why I couldn't be one. My mama joined in and helped her. Now at 52, I have been watching utube videos and practicing. I am thinking about taking a class. 🩰
First, I’m so sorry your family said those things and crushed your spirit. My hope is that they didn’t mean to do so and were only trying to protect you (ballet is an incredibly arduous, tenuous, & often cruel profession). But now you can learn & love ballet to your heart’s content, and I hope you will!!! I’m so glad you found my channel. And I have an entire online program made for people exactly like you who want to start as adults. Whether or not you go that route, I am heartened to hear that you are following your heart and giving the dream of ballet to the little girl inside. That kind of healing is immeasurable, as is connecting to the joy and beauty we can feel through ballet. 🙏🩰💕
Congratulations on starting ballet again! So glad you found my channel and I hope it will help your technique AND help you fall in love (again) with ballet! 🥰🩰👏🏻
🙏The way you described energy/tension getting stuck in an area and then suggested to redirect it to the core-this has been some of the most useful advice I’ve received! It has increased my body awareness and control. I am so grateful!!!🙏🙏🙏 Also-ballet pencils! I love it, so very useful !!! Thank you, lovely Tiekka🙏💙
So glad it helped! Yes, redirecting excess tension to your core to assist your posture is a major factor in moving well! I’m very happy you are enjoying my teaching style. If you’d like more, you may be interested in my Ballerina Body programs. Here’s a link just in case: www.everydayballet.com/become-a-member/ Thanks for watching! 🙏💕🩰🌸
Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying them and that it's helping your mood. We can all use a little lift durning these challenging times and I whole heartedly agree that ballet can be a loving self-care practice! :-D
This is so wonderful! I have been wanting to learn ballet my entire life and now I am taking classes. I am by far the oldest person in my class, but I am loving it. Your videos are just what I need so I can best practice at home. Your patient explaining of things is really great. I could thank you 1000 times over for helping me change my life (and to improve my posture, which I sorely needed to do since forever). Thank you for taking the time to explain and teach ballet to those of us who have always wanted to learn, but (in my case) was too intimidated to try until arriving in my fifth decade! Although I will never be a professional, to be able to learn many of these beautiful moves will be good enough for me. Thank you, thank you!
You are so very welcome!!! Thank you for your kind words. 🙏 I am delighted to know my videos are helping you feel more confident as you learn ballet! What a beautiful journey it is, and how wonderful that you have connected with your joy in it!! All best wishes to you! 🥰✨👏🏻🩰
I thank God for you i went to ballet class today an i am having challenges with my hands and I'm able to come here and pay special attention to the arms for ballet. this is awesome.
You're so welcome! I'm delighted to hear you have found the "feeling" of ballet! I know that feeling very well and it brings me much joy... I hope you feel it, too!
This is a fantastic video for beginners, I was looking for something instructional and easy to follow like this. I'm sure it will help me in ballet and other styles of dancing. Thank you!
Your movements are elegant. I feel like I am dancing . Thank you. Please preset viewers like me more of this wonderful movements. y our videos gives more confidence to the viewers like me.
Thank you for your kind words. It makes me happy to know that you are feeling the ballet in your body and the dancing in your heart! I am making more videos… I’ve been away from RUclips these past few months as I have been working on my online programs, but I will be posting more videos soon, so please stay tuned. 🙏🥰✨🩰
Thank you for the very clear explanations. In most videos, we often only see what it looks like from the front, so it is difficult to understand how to achieve the second position correctly, but now I think I got it!
I have to say you have the best instruction I've found. Thank you so so so very much for your great teaching. Please keep continuing! I'll be a very loyal subscriber!
Thank YOU for your kind words! I’m very glad you are enjoying my videos! If you’d like to do my complete program, you may wish to check out this link: www.everydayballet.com/become-a-member/ Thanks again for sharing! I really appreciate it! Keep doing ballet!!! I’ll be here! 🥰🙏🩰🌸
@@everydayballet Thank you! I think I'm gonna take the Basic course first, then after a while I'll move on to the more advanced one and absolutely love to have a private class with you. I've been watching so many channel on RUclips, a lot of bigger channels than yours, but didn't want to take course from anyone yet until I saw your teaching. I love your instructions. So far yours is the best one. Hope you're always be there and help me practice. I'll go to your website now!
Oh, that’s wonderful! So glad you are doing my training program! And your plan is perfect-learn the basics and build from there. When you’re ready, you can easily upgrade to the more advanced programs and we can work together one-on-one to give you the most personal level of instruction for your ballet journey! I look forward to hearing from you about your experience with the Ballerina Body program! Welcome!!!! 💕🩰🌸
Cute leg warmers. Where are they from? Also, great video and explanations for beginners. Just what I was looking for. Can you do a video on head positions, where to look, does the head follow the shoulder or hands?
Woo, I LOVED this exercise and this music! You're amazing, dear Tiekka! :3 I always enjoy the music so much!! Are you planning to do some exercise (ballet workout) on music from Swan Lake? Because I enjoyed the exercises with music of Nutcracker so much!! ♥
Hi! Thanks so much for watching! I’m delighted you enjoy my videos! I actually have a Swan Lake class on my website. Here’s the link: www.everydayballet.com/everyday-ballet-on-demand/?vimeography_gallery=84&vimeography_video=452881047 I also have lots Swan Lake classes in my online training Ballerina Body programs: www.everydayballet.com/become-a-member/ (sale starts tomorrow! 😊) I will select some sequences to do for RUclips here and there as well. Swan Lake is definitely a favorite of mine, so I’ve created a ton of sequences with this fabulous music! 🥰🌸🩰
Loved the video! I've got a question. I've seen the 3rd position being different in other videos and websites, could you please clarify if there's two ways to do it?
Thanks for the excellent question! Yes, there are different “schools” of ballet technique that have slight differences when it comes to arm (& leg!) positions. Everyday Ballet uses the French style of port de bras (carriage of the arms). You may be more used to seeing the “low” third position with the curved arm at waist level. That is the Italian school “Cecchetti Method.” Hope this helps! 🥰🩰✨
Wow, I feel like a ballerina. This is my dream since age 5 and now I am 61 starting my dream. Thank you!
Beautiful!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨🥰🩰
