Hi, I used to be a student of classical ballet having studied ballet for about 9 years. I studied at some of the finest dance schools in the country (Boston Ballet, School of American Ballet) and I can say that during my entire 9 years of study, I didn't have any teacher instruct me on how to do a tendu as well as you just did on this video. You are an AWESOME teacher, and I hope that you can be both an influence to young dancers, and make a living at the same time as you do it. Thank you for a GREAT video. Also, and just FYI, you ought to put your real name somewhere in your videos, etc... I just got an awesome lesson on how to do a tendu, but I can't find your name anywhere on your channel. I understand you are the Salty Sugar Plum, but I think you ought to get your real name out there as well so folks know who you are. Just a suggestion. :) Mike
I picture this tutorial every day I’m at the barre, especially the knee cap muscle! What a huge help this has been in my practice. Just today, I figured out how to finally stop sitting in my hip just by pulling up my knee cap visualized in THIS VIDEO!!! Love you and all that you give to us.
Wow. This video is amazing and so informative. I never thought this much about it (I'm a beginner). Now I will think about stressing my straight leg more and pointing my feet harder. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. And thanks for doing it in flat shoe and barefoot. I appreciate it a lot! All info was great and I will remember that sound. leg of steel will remember that.
Wow I’m an adult beginner and I had no idea so much went into a tendu. For years I thought it was just pointing the toe. You explained that so well. Hats off to you!
This is the best explanation and demonstration of doing a proper tendu that I've ever seen or heard! I will always remember this video. Thankyou so much! 🙏🏼🧙👯🩰🎹
Thank you for being up here and sharing your expertise. As an older adult with very limited flexibility I know I will never be able to do what you and other real dancers can do, but with what little I can do it's important to me to make sure my remedial practice of ballet is as correct as it can be and you explain technique perfect so that even a neophyte such as myself can understand it 🧚♀️
wow thank you for this very detailed video! no one else is as detailed as you, this is really really helpful! hope to see more basic content like this, you are right! we need to get it right from the basic. I'm just starting out so this video really helped me, thanks again!
thank you! I'm glad these videos are helpful! ankle is doing well! I still feel a weak spot, but I also never really got back into "peak" condition since the surgery cuz my other jobs were getting in the way.
This made me realize how much I suck at rotating my leg out, especially in tendu back, thank you!! This is really helping em getting back into ballet correctly :))
This video is awesome! Tendu is soo important. I always wondered why Russian teachers (including mine) are crazy about tendus, but now I get it 😂 I have just read a cool book: „Ballerina“ by Monica Loughman. She is an Irish ballerina who graduated from Perm Academy in Russia 🇷🇺 and then joined the Perm Ballet Company. She danced in Russia for more than 12 years, her story is incredible. In her book, she writes about her first classes in Perm, very funny 😂 Her teacher was totally obsessed with tendus. During the first weeks, they only worked on pliés and tendus, and poor Monica was totally confused in the beginning. She had come all the way from Ireland to Russia 🇷🇺 to become a great ballet dancer, and then all she was taught (in the beginning) was tendus 😉 But now I get it why this is so important! If you don‘t know how to do a proper tendu, your dancing might always look sloppy
I was wondering if you can do a video about arabesque-which muscles exactly to use? My question might be a lot basic but in my class my teacher has never explained to me in such a detailed way anything and you do that which helps me a lot. Thank you!
Should tendu side follow the natural turnout or always be totally at 90°? How many tendus per day do you recommend doing in order to perfect the move? (Front, side, back, first and fifth or third.) Do you also recommend using the foot stretching tools and equipment (in addition to actual foot and ankle strengthening and stretching exercises) in order to increase point? My arch is great but my ankle seems to prevent me from being able to completely finish a proper point. What do you recommend. And thank you for this phenomenal tendu tutorial. So much better than being yelled at!
Dear Salty Sugar Plum:I recently discovered your youtube videos and they are great and excellent instruction just great gal! I also like your ballet bloomers to!
Really specific and helpful. Any chance you could do (or have already done) a video on tendus at the barre with directions of the body? Croise, efface and ecarte?
I come back to this video every 6 months as an adult beginner ballet dancer. I have a really hard time not bending my knees in the tendu from 5th. Please give a suggestion as to how i can prevent that? Also, what the reason for it?
the front knee may bend a teeny bit. you can also un-cross your fifth every very slightly. sometimes over-crossing can make your knees bend. straight legs are for both function and aesthetics. a straight leg engages your muscles and trains them to "lift" which will come in handy later when you have to send straight legs high in the air. also, the aesthetics of ballet are all about long, fluid "lines" and making long smooth shapes with the body. if you are doing a movement or position that requires a straight line, a bent knee will make the leg look 'bumpy' and a little wonky.
Hi Salty, I have a question. I see you do tendu to the side nearly 180 straight to the side, but I had teachers tell me side tendus are slightly to the front maybe 45 degrees from 5th/3rd. I don't have much turn out at all and I'm guessing that's the reason. So, should people with more turnout hit the side tendu to 180 straight, and people with less turnout should work within their range? Hope this question makes sense. Also would you consider doing another series on tendus but with a focus on the torso/upper body oppositions? I love revisiting the basics. Thank you!
yes my tendu is 180 straight to the side because I have the natural turn-out and mobility for it. Vaganova dancers keep the a la seconde leg behind the arm most of the time. so even keeping your arm slightly in front of you and make it appear like your leg is more to the side
A video on ballet reference books would be wonderful too. What do you think of them? Is it a second way to digest and remember what your teaching, is it a way to study and memorize? When you can't move? I'm just wondering because I have a brain injury and am doing this as part of my rehabilitation plan. Btw ballet exercises work miracles! I'm finding as a way to recover/reconnect body-brain pathways. I'm having amazing results. I'm moving parts of my body with just my mind, for the first time in years! I thought they were immovable at first. But with months of practice and some manual manipulation work in the beginning you can!!recreate those neural pathways, or at least wake them up! I know because I relearned how to walk. A few years ago. Today I announced to the confusion of most "I can use my brain to move! my left! big toe, like my right toe!!! Lol 😂 My left big toe was completely without feeling and immovable, unless manually manipulated. Now I I've worked up to moving it in wide circular motions! In the grand scheme nothing to big. But it's like getting a small piece of my body back, and makes me motivated to get more. Thanks to ballet toe exercises especially the one you taught me that was from your physio? for your foot strength after your ankle? surgery, I believe. I used it a lot! till I would get a headache. But ballet is perfect for the exercises I'm looking for. Very happy, thank you.
Hi, I am 55 years old. I learned to not overcross in tendu or ronde Jambe or any dance steps unless the choreography called for it in a performance. My granddaughter is learning to overcross everything. It drives me a little nuts to watch. So the question is , is it just a different style or is it wrong to have the arabesque push towards the center of the body in the back and the ronde jambe going beyond the half circle and having to return back to first before overcrossing again to the center front and then overcrossing in the back to center back?
Wish you taught in Toronto . Thank you for posting . I have a question . I’m struggling with little plié jumps .. I’m a beginner adult . I don’t think I can jump it feels to awkward... I don’t know what to do .... I’m not getting any air ....🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Im wearing Canvas Shoes right now . Size 6 N. im thinking of buying a pair of leather shoes . What would you recommend . ? I’m looking for a supportive shoe leather . I feel my canvas shoe seems to feel bulky around my toes
unfortunately, instep mostly depends on your body's anatomy. you can't change the physical skeletal structure of your foot, but i can make a video giving some advice on how to achieve a stronger pointe!
Unfortunately, I noticed it is sooo true! I am a weird combination, high arches, but kind of moderate insteps. That results in a beautiful, clear demi pointe, but when pointing is involved...well, I would have loved it to be more visible. With stretching and practice I made my feet stronger and I can pointe better, but I cannot do anything to my feet other than perhaps breaking my bones :)))
it takes a while to develop a good turnout just keep practicing I'm going back to ballet tomorrow for the fist time in years so I have catching up to do too but just drilling the movements and properly stretching first helps a lot good luck
Books I Read it hurts in the same way that a really intense work out makes you sore. if you're using muscles that you havent used before, you can get cramps. especially when you start training your feet to point really hard. you mostly get soreness. pointe shoes are also a little uncomfortable. theres no way around that kind of pain.
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. It's not about following the law - perfectly, as it's impossible - it's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. If you have any questions let me know x

Michael Dumais that's a great suggestion. for now I like having a bit of anonymity. but, you're right, I should put my real name out there soon :)

This video is amazing. It's basically been impossible to find clear instructions to execute correctly.
Thank you so much
Wow. This video is amazing and so informative. I never thought this much about it (I'm a beginner). Now I will think about stressing my straight leg more and pointing my feet harder. Thank you so much.

Wow I’m an adult beginner and I had no idea so much went into a tendu. For years I thought it was just pointing the toe. You explained that so well. Hats off to you!
This is the best explanation and demonstration of doing a proper tendu that I've ever seen or heard! I will always remember this video. Thankyou so much! 🙏🏼🧙👯🩰🎹
This video is great! I am a dancer and I have almost 1 year of ballet to strengthen my technique, and all these details are so useful! Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤ these tips and videos are a great assist for my in-person ballet classes ☺️
I don't do ballet as an activity, but we use ballet things in the drum corps in auditioning for. This is something we do and this helps a lot.
Thanks a million! felt muscles I didn't feel before
You have outstanding foot placement:🌹
thanks! I guess training with all the strict Russian teachers paid off! :)
Wow! Immediate subscribe. You're a great teacher and demonstrator.
Thank you!!! Love this video, so helpful. I have never realized how much we should put that heel forward. It's a new game from now on 😄 Thank you 🤩
Thank you! This is so detailed and helpful. Hope your ankle has healed well!
thank you! I'm glad these videos are helpful! ankle is doing well! I still feel a weak spot, but I also never really got back into "peak" condition since the surgery cuz my other jobs were getting in the way.

Just started ballet classes a month ago and this is so helpful!! THANK YOU FOR THIS. Just subscribed to your channel :)
Your ballet moves looks amazing ma'am it is so awesome video by the way
Thanks so much for the 'yawning' analogy! It really helped me explain in yet another way what tendu should feel like to my students!
Wow, super helpful and very detailed! Thank you!
This video is awesome!

Salty Sugar Plum
I just watched your arabesque video...
I can't thank you enough ❤❤❤
Thanks for breaking this move down.
This is one of my favorite Salty Sugar Plum vids. Slo-mo of that toe clobbering the floor -BAM! LMAO!
Awesome thanks
Should tendu side follow the natural turnout or always be totally at 90°?
How many tendus per day do you recommend doing in order to perfect the move? (Front, side, back, first and fifth or third.)

Dear Salty Sugar Plum:I recently discovered your youtube videos and they are great and excellent instruction just great gal! I also like your ballet bloomers to!
your tutorials are so good, I get it and I'm going to practice, I actually like practice
Thank you so much for the enforced reminders
Really specific and helpful. Any chance you could do (or have already done) a video on tendus at the barre with directions of the body? Croise, efface and ecarte?
What does it look like for someone with beginner turnout tho? I cant seem to find anything that shows true beginners.
I'm Egyptian and realy your video very good, thank you so much ♥
Well done! Thank you!

J’aime 💕
what’s the name of that book? i just started ballet so it can be helpful i think
What size would be comparable to a leather Show ? What would you recommend?
What is a pinky toe?
How do I tendu from first position with really bad hyperextension my heels can’t touch when I come back from putting my leg forward :(
Can you do a foot "wing" tutorial? Your feet are gorgeous and I have such a little ability to wing my foot.
Tabra Dances the winging has me confused too. Too much, not enough! How do you know? And what exactly does it look like.
So useful!!!! Tq
Very helpful.
Can you plz do a video of how to increase the instep of the foot?
unfortunately, instep mostly depends on your body's anatomy. you can't change the physical skeletal structure of your foot, but i can make a video giving some advice on how to achieve a stronger pointe!

Salty Sugar Plum Yes that would be amazing :)
Question, what if you don't have great turnout? You said you shouldn't see the heel but what if you just don't have the turnout like you do?
it takes a while to develop a good turnout just keep practicing I'm going back to ballet tomorrow for the fist time in years so I have catching up to do too but just drilling the movements and properly stretching first helps a lot good luck
Thanks Hannah, hope you have fun at class.
Also, does ballet really have to hurt?
Books I Read it hurts in the same way that a really intense work out makes you sore. if you're using muscles that you havent used before, you can get cramps. especially when you start training your feet to point really hard. you mostly get soreness. pointe shoes are also a little uncomfortable. theres no way around that kind of pain.
the ball of the foot is audiable...

Awesome feet. nice video. thnx
