The head thing is sooo true. We weren't taught very often to use our heads when I danced a long time ago.... but it makes such a difference and you can't unsee it when you are aware of this in dancers..
mhm!!
Definitely.
I’m so glad she posted this because I feel like with online classes and doing dance at home we can forget technique, and to correct ourselves
I HATE online dance classes. They are my worst nightmare 😫😩
lol not me, my ballet studio decided to do zoom classes 💀 rip
I have at home dance classes from my mom. ✌️
@@maddie1916 that's exactly what she said.
Онлайн занятия это так же плохо, как учится плавать без бассейна (простите за юмор) Это очень плохо, потому что без присмотра учителя это равносильно пустая трата времени. Более того, грозит неправильно сделаные движения войдут в привычку и будет очень сложно исправить! Никогда не пользуюсь онлайн занятиями, только при присмотре учителя
1- Pull up (back, torse): to gain stability and even a more professional look.
2- Port de bras: Practice the positions in front of a mirror and try to connect each position while dancing so it looks like dancing, not doing ballet steps only.
3- Same as 2, dance with your head. In adagio, etc.
4-Plié.
5-Practice your variation a couples time in a row in order to handle the cardio.
6- Turnout (idk how to explain just watch the end of the video lol)
Nicole Cornille Luna thank you! Saved me from wasting time watching sponsors and announcements
screenshotting for future reference
riley b Same
Thanks this is lifesaving
@tiyanie sparkle like a puppet 😂
Another way of trying to pull up is like imagine your bones are drilling down to the ground and your muscles are getting pulled up, it’ll help with your balance so much. Not only that but if youre standing on one leg during tendu, adage, or whatever you’re doing, NEVER sit on the leg you’ll look super short and try to keep your weight off of your hips and imagine your hips are going up into your armpits 😂😂😂 that’s the best way I can explain it
Thanks that helped me visualize what pulling up means... had trouble with that
I'm taking a screenshot of this to remember it. It helped a lot but I can't dance currently. I'm not allowed to by the doctor. I'll look at it again after I start on physical therapy.
Laria Hill I’m glad it helped! It definitely helped a lot for me :)
Thanks
One of my ballet teachers would tell us to imagine that someone was pulling a hair on the very top of your head to pull up and maintain posture. Honestly pulling up helps so so much. Also thank you for this video I’ve been taking class via zoom and it’s just not the same. This’ll help me remember certain things technique-wise and allow me to feel less floppy :) Thank youuuu
I spotted an Atiny!
Atiny!!
Wow! Never knew I would find 2 atinys here.
I watched this video when it first came out, and I saw someone comment a tip about thinking of all the bones in your body relaxing and dropping to her ground whilst the muscles lift up. I have used this tip ever since and it has been so incredible. It’s a strange concept but I always have perfect balance whether it’s on flat or pointe. So if you are the person who commented this, you are a life saver
omg yesss i’m trying to get better at ballet even tho i’ve been doing it for 10 years lol.btw i love the new merch ❤️!! i might be getting the sweatshirt!
I have been doing ballet for ten years to!
Kaitlyn SAMEE I’ve been doing it for 10 years too
woah ive been doing it for 5 years
Kaitlyn me too
Wow, my name is Kaitlyn, your name is Kaitlyn, ive been dancing for 10 years, youve been dancing for 10 years
Her: does many turns*
Me: falls while walking*
Ok but you’re such a BEAUTIFUL dancer. U inspire me to be more into ballet and u help me to want to get better at dance. Love u!😁❤️
when you learned more from this video than 10+ years of dance has taught you
Same, I wish I knew/thought about all of this earlier, I'm a junior and planning on minoring in dance and this is a huge fricking help
@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 good Luck xx
@@lilyrose3905 Thank you ^_^
the whole video: i don’t really know how to explain it
me: totally and completely understands as a dancer 😂 this was really helpful though
This was really helpful. Whenever I'm dancing, I'm constantly wondering why I'm wobbly, or can't get higher extensions, etc. This will really help me focus on a few things, and improve a lot more overall
I heard somewhere that if you focus on your ground leg while extending the other leg, it goes a lot higher less painfully.
I've bean dancing since I was 4 and I'm turning 12 this year. I'm going to get my pointe shoes this June!!
Sonya Alborn aw I’m so excited for you!!! I got my first pair when I was 12 too, now I’m 15. Be warned it’s quite uncomfortable for the first few months but you’ll get used to them in no time! I believe in you😘❤️💕
That's so exciting!!💖💖
Yayyyyyy! That’s so exciting! I got my first pair at 12 too!
Truee.. i can relate so much when you talk about stamina.. i have low blood pressure and when my stamina is going down of course my technique kinda slacks off, so my teacher yells at me saying "pull up, etc etc". But i just can't because i'm already so tired. So i tried some cardio exercises from youtube, and i can feel at ballet that my stamina is just going ⬆️ and i can do my movements/technique better. So long story short, improve ur stamina guys!!
This is so great! Improving stamina is so important! I have to keep reminding myself this! :)
Lmao "port de bras" is a French word and I'm french but with your accent I didn't unferstand what it was at first. I thought it was an english word I didn't know 🤣🤣🤣
Anyway, this video was really useful, thanks for making it 😊
HAHAH OMG 💖💖
Mackenzie, these are the kinds of details an excellent teacher notices and emphasizes, and while they’re the hardest teachers, I always get the most from those classes and I’m so happy with my hard work afterwards 😊 One day, I hope you teach physical class, you’ll be amazing 🤩
who else is not a ballet dancer but is still watching this?
Emera Stella Frances Collins DID SOMEONE SAY DRACO MALFOOOOOOOY?
@@friendusesthisaccountnocom9928 YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IM LAUGHING RIGHT NOW!!!
dracooooooooooooooooo im sorry
Not a dancer, would like to learn any/many styles
Me, honestly I’m just trying to get my splits-
I literally did this and my dance teacher said I look amazing for the first time in like a long time! Thank youuuu!
What do you mean your extensions aren't that good?!?!? They are absolutely insane! You are so talented!!
thank you!! im 14 and only been doing ballet for a year and a half and this helped a lot! :D
its so interesting hearing you describe pulling up cause its like.....both different from how i was taught and the same if that makes any sense? i like the idea of separating the upper and lower body, at our studio we're taught to think of our ribcage as a vest and to "zip up" the vest when we dance
As a ballet teacher I can say you would be a very good ballet teacher 😁👌
I know nothing about ballet and I also feel she would make an amazing ballet teacher. She's so dedicated to ballet and her training and development.
Girl your extensions are AMAZING! Stop saying they aren't good because they are soooo beautiful! 😍
Early Squad where you at?? ✨
It’s midnight and I haven’t done ballet in about 10 years yet I’m watching as if I’m going to start again tomorrow
Anna -maybe you were drawn to this because you WILL be starting again. At least if you do, you have had a refresher course!!
This really helped me I’m sooo glad she posted this like everyone else
For some reason i used to not like ballet but was still ok at it but ever since uve gotton my pointe shoes I’ve been in LOVE with ballet all of a sudden and these videos make me love it more 😊
thank you so much for this! i started dance late, around 11, but i am just now starting ballet during the quarantine. i know most of the terminology, but when it comes to technique, i never know what they're talking about, and since it's usually on youtube or instagram, i cant ask them. so this was super helpful!
Omg you should be a ballet teacher some day! This really helps
I haven’t danced since I was 13 and I’m 20 now and getting back into it… this is extremely helpful
That's an interesting point on turnouts. I was always told to clench my butt to do that, but my leg feels like weighing a ton. Will try to put myself on top of my hips and not engage the arriere. Thank you for amazing demonstrations!=) Your face glows up when you dance❤️
You’re skin is looking so clear and glowy!!!
I love your new merchandise so much because I don’t dance ballet but hip hop and I like the new hoodie with dance in the different colours a lot ❤️
thank you!! I am really trying to get better at ballet!! This helped a ton!!
This is exactly the kind of video I needed! Ily🤍🤍🤍🤍💕
Mackenzie not pulling up: "sOmEhOw I tUrnEd 3 TiMeS"
I've always had trouble with fouettes (I don't know how to spell it, my phones not helping me spell it😂), but just because of the first tip alone, I now know how to do them for my dances!
Omg i toootally agree with your opinion about the turn out "controversy" thank u sooo much for doing this video it will help me a lot i love you kenzie❤
this is perfect. thank you so much.
i am shocked how little of the things i'm activly doing
Great video! Another tip for multiple turns without wobbling is to spot on a place that is right in front of your face not to the side or on the ground because you go where you spot
with the turnout one, (ik I'm late sorry 😭) but actually your entire turnout comes from your hips and if your feet aren't over your knees and you're turning out from your knees instead then it'll hurt your knees long term, my ballet teacher taught me about that. You're not actually turned out if you turn out from your knees, also the part about the extentions, when you place your leg where it's supposed to be, not too far back like you're forcing yourself to turn out and your hip is out of place, then your turn out will be automatically better when you're putting your leg where it's actually supposed to go
Can I like this multiple times on one account?!😂
Seriously though I really appreciate how you didn't rush things and showed us detailed examples! Thank you!
Urrggg thanks so much. Online class is difficult but this really helped 😊
need this because i haven’t been able to go into the studio since quarantine was lifted and i need to fix my technique
Could you please do a restock of all your noelle dance-wear skirts? I would love that!
of course! Im working on it 💕
This was so helpful, I have heard most of these things before but it was great that I could see it on a young dancer like me
you are such a beautiful dancer!
Love ya!
💃 ❤
My ballet teacher would love you!
Im 12 and ive been dancing since i was 3. I dont wanna be a professional dancer im just doing it for fun but i am such a perfectionist that im way harder on myself that i mean to be.
Do you have any tips for hyperextension? I struggle with that A LOT in ballet.
Lift😂 That's literally all I can say
ur less than 3 years older than me and I still look up to u💕
I am starring ballet after quarantine and I'm kinda old to start (I am 13)so I'm a little bit nervous and I am trying to get better, because I will be in a group with more advanced people and I'm also not very flexible, but better late than never, right? 🤣
Btw thank you for the tips, they were very helpful☺️
Your never to old to start! Misty Copeland started at 13 and she is a famous ballerina! 👍💖
@@dwarfler4283 I didn't know that she started at 13!This brings me so much more motivation! Thank you! ☺️
@@elitsamarinova9217 💖💖😄
Thats so amazing!!! Seriously dont worry and have fun! I started at 14😄. Enjoy the process and keep working hard!!!
I am so excited because this really helped me. Thank you so much.
This Is The Most Briliant Idea Ever! Now...I Have To Ballet Like Ballora
I’m not a dancer but I gotta get flexible for figure skating- And I also gotta do ballet to help
btw love the necklace!
Thank You so much for the tips, gonna try to practice them
im not even a ballet dancer but i am addicted to watching these videos LOL
I love your necklace!
Love the new merch ✨❤️ and gthsnks for the ballet tips, they were so helpful queen
someone help I am confused. Are we supposed to not clench at all then and not tuck our hips? I want to do it correctly
you can go and check Ballet Conrad channel - there is all information needed about correct turn out.
@@raisssass thank you so much!

Turnout section 👌
Alternive video title: Mackenzie flexing her Ballet skills on us noobs
Omg why u so perfect😅😅😂😂
this is the basic in school like since 10 years old - to separate back and upper body.
This was posted on my birthday!!
When you’re watching this even though you don’t dance ballet. I just love your channel.
I'm gonna start ballet at 13 so I need to try my best😢im so nervous
You'll be great, how fast you progress has everything to do with how hard you work so the fact that your even watching this video is fantastic
I am a total amateur but still useful!! Thanks!!
im going back to class a whole new dancer
I love this vid!! I am a dancer and i find this soooooo helpful and I love the way you explain it! And I do think you will go very far with dance!!💕
Literally if you do ballet your teacher has said this at some point:
1. ENGAGE YOUR CORE
2. RIBCAGE IN
3. STRENGTHEN YOUR MUSCLES
4. PRETEND THERE IS A METAL ROD IN YOUR SPINE.
I am starting ballet classes in January
Im terrible at ballet because my first dance school was so easy and I learnt nothing until in 2017 I moved and so that's why I'm bad
Can you please do a video on improving turnout🥰
I have been wanting this for so long, the dance gods heard me hehehehe
Thank you!!
I used to dance a lot but I just had surgery and took a break so this should help (=
It is technique. It is. If your teacher doesn't insist on proper head coordination with your arms, from the barre to centre and back again, Then change teacher. That's a Big Ballet Basic and it's fundamental for our art form. When ur head and arms are connected the right way Then your back and whole core is automatically engaged!!! Kisses, Hope this helped. Also very nice video, again. You are such a beauty.
Why did Kenzie perform her ballerina dance to the My World is Beginning Today song from the 1970 Christmas video Fred Astaire Sings and Voices Santa Claus is Coming to Town?
It helped me a lot!
That was a bad extension bro that’s going to be the best I ever get lol also I loves this video can you do more like that
New fan, BTW! ❤
Bravo 👏 👏 👏
notifications squad!!
can you do an advanced ballet class, for vocational students such as advanced 1 and 2 ( RAD grade in the UK ) I'm not sure what levels you have in your country xx
Thank you ) really needed it
My ballet teacher is constantly (that's a bit of an exaggeration but yeah) behind me making sure i pull up and if i forget she kinda like, umm i don't know how to explain it but she basically pulls my bun up so i go up? Yeah, if she didn't do that i would honestly be just wobbling like jello
I want to take a class from you
This will be mad helpful since I have a month break 🥵
What do you use to edit? Also I’m gonna go back to the studio being a literal rubberband with HELLA TECHNIQUE
Helpful vid thx
