Tombe with kitty!❤️🥰❤️ this is one of the simplest pas in Ballet, but what makes it special I think is your upper body, which is gorgeous. Tombe pas de bouree is one of the first steps that beginners are taught in ballet when it comes to putting steps together. But yours is extra special because of the shape and the bend and just the loveliness of your upper body.
I am familiar with both versions. This was very well shown, especially the first one with the glissé extending into the plié which sometimes is not shown enough. Herbert is looking for a third version I think.
THANK YOU!! The version with the glissé is so much better than with the arabesque element. We do that second one shown in the video At oh studio, it’s the only one I’ve been exposed to. I love your videos! You always help me out with the technique-especially in that you add the slow motion as well. I’m off to practice 🥰
I learned the second one and as somebody said before it's close to the term "tombe". But I prefere and use the first one so much more. It is so much more fluently and "dancy". For me the second version might be more suitable for male dancers..... But to do the first version very nice you need this special resistance in the upper body (as you have shown so clearly!). First I teach the tombé-Version in order just to put steps together and because it is very clear. But as soon as possible I'll switch to the glissé-version because it is much more "dancy". And in order of that I call the first version "glissé pas de bourré" to make the difference more clear.
Thank you for the as always lovely and clear demonstrations...on a different topic though could you explain the difference between the terms used for passé and retire and if they can be used interchangeably to mean the same thing. I feel that passe is correct when the foot comes to the knee or changes from front to bsck or vice versa.. So I really don't use the term retire. Please offer me your insight. Thank you
This is a very good question. Passé and retiré are used interchangeably. Although, some insist that passé is, as you say, 'passing' the knee, whilst retiré is 'pulling' to the knee and keeping it there. I never heard the term 'retiré' before I came to the UK. In my Vaganova system school in East Berlin, we were only taught the term 'passé'.
I learned both, but I always struggled with the one that’s used in the allegro combinations across the floor . It always seemed like there was a step missing but it happens so quickly because you’re using the step to get across the floor to the next step 🤷🏽♀️
I believe you mean grand allegro like ruclips.net/video/VwRD6zA2qsg/видео.html The problem is usually to get the rhythm right. And you are right, lots of steps happen on 'and one'. :)

Oh, thank you. So nice of you to say. x
Thank you for clarifying this type. You dance so beautifully!
Clearly explained as always, thankyou. It's a pity the RAD don't produce similar clips. Love to Herbert.
Thanks, Lesley. I hope you are doing well.
I had a professor who said that second version is from past and actually we have to use The first version to seems professionally.
That's very interesting, thanks for sharing. The second version seems to be taught frequently though as I see it all the time.

I'd love to see Herbert's version!
Both are pretty!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I love how the cat casually walks around the studio like she/he's the owner, so cute!
It's Herbert, the cat, who owns the space with his personality. :)

Both versions are very good in Your performance. But I like the first one just like You.
Thanks a lot!❤😘
thank you! :)
Thank you, Thank you Dear Teacher Francesca!

@@HolisticBallet Yes! That’s it exactly! This is an excellent breakdown. Thank you 😊❤️
I learned first version. I learned in South-Korea. I like both versions. Second one seems like more closer to the term 'tombe'.
Yes, the tombé to arabesque looks more like a fall (tombé), the tombé to plié 4th is more subtle.
I learned The version with a smooth slide on The floor.
We don’t have to lift the foot.
Personally I think they should have different names! I like doing both versions, the first version looks and feels more elegant.
Maybe they do have different names, who knows! The contrary is often the case, the same movement has different names.
