I have never done any thing in a ballet. I am a 75 year old "gym rat" who has engaged in numerous aerobics, yoga, bosu ball and balance workouts. Despite my age I am in relatively good condition. This was indeed one of the tougher (if not toughest) balance exercise workouts I have done. It will take me a long time to master (even with modifications) this routine. This is an excellent balance routine.👍
This is helping me with my pirouettes immensely! I've had a hard time popping up too fast and was in desperate need of learning a way to control the way up. I loved the last exercise especially being in parallel, its helped my mind grasp how to pop up correctly. Thank you so very much.
I’ve recently got back into dance after a four year break (I moved and couldn’t attend any new studios because they weren’t close enough) and I lost balance and flexibility but I’ve added this to my dance playlist and my balance is going to increase day by day with these. I LOVE calf raises so much lol so that first set was everything
i just wanna say...thank you so so much :3 im an absolute beginner, i've been doing ballet for only 4 days and im doing anything and everything under my capabilities to be an awesome ballerina some day :D
Thank you so much! I haven’t been at ballet for a while because of corona and I’m doing my grade 4 exam soon so I need to give it my all so I can carry on with exams! I’m going on to point soon so this will really help my balance (as I’m not very good with balancing atm)
These exercises are exactly what I have developted intuitively to train my balance and body conciousness. I would love to get even more ideas from you. I am not a dancer, I just love to move my body and challenge myself. Thank you very much for sharing this. ❤
Im in my teens and used to dance ballet as a child and I want to get back into it (just as a hobby nothing serious) iv always loved to dance but balance has always been my week point
So I started adult beginner ballet classes last september and some months ago I remember trying these exercises and I couldn't even try to do any !! It was so miserable lmao But now I actually do them quite often !!! And I can tell I'm improving wooohoooo !!!!! joy
This really helped me relax and has shown good results in things like goalkeeping when you have to keep your balance. Your a total sweetheart, thanks for the video and heads up!
Thank you so much... I really need this because while dancing I'm always off balance.. So thank you again and the way you explain everything is impressive ☺💜
Omg thank you so much for this, I did a jump and my ankle did the same move left move right movement that happens when you snap your ankle, but because I trained my foot and ankle muscles with this, I didn’t get hurt and my ankle is totally fine!
This is a long shot, but just in case you still check your comments on this video, where did you get that shelving unit that you're standing in front of? Thanks in advance!
this is so fun! ive been doing some balance exercises and was looking for tougher ones, this made me sweat even tho i did only half of it haha.. not a dancer but gonna do this more often!
i’m an older (in ballet terms, i guess) teenager looking into some ballet techniques as a form of strength training and this was so helpful! thank you!
Day 2 - i'm feeling more powerful on my pirouette, but am kinda tired overall. Still going to do the workout though, at least this one video. Promise is a promise.upd: never working out in the evening again. 0 energy. barely did 1 set
Day 3: I'm a fighter damnnn xD Felt sick during the day, but I was mentally ok so squeezed in 2 sets!! While the family watches Cirque du Soleil specials (check them out!!) Huge thanks to Alessia, if not me knowing you're aware of this little challenge, I would've given up even yesterday
Day 4 - easter break! Day 5 - I'm either lazy OR doing this every day isn't actually the greatest decision. Did 1 set today, barely. Idk, I stopped feeling it much, and I'm wobbling through the whole workout:( Plateau? Probably. Verdict: weak upper body and calves. I'm not using my back or my abs, and I'm too weak to hold myself up. Did 1 set today, barely. What I want to do is make an upper body day, a lower body day, and a barre day, with tabata cardio stuck in whenever I feel like it. I will also write down things I'll do just throughout the day randomly, and this workout is one of those. Will I try and do it? Yeah. Big pressure? Nah. I'll go and create my workouts now:)
And that's why I love ballet. Ballet is so beauty. Girly and just amazing. Definitely my favorite dance. I feel so gentle and girly when I put my balerinas and start dancing or doing some exercises and I love it.
I agree that ballet is absolutely beautiful, but I personally don’t see ballet as a “girly” sport. The gender of the dancer shouldn’t matter that much compared to the dancer’s skill, technique, and above all, the amount of emotion put into dance. Dance is for anyone, no matter the age, gender, or personality of that person, and that’s one of the reasons I love it. It’s such a diverse art and I think it’s really cool. Just my thoughts on the matter, have a good day :)
"Don't do it once ,do it million times until you can't get it wrong". I am letting it resonate.
I am an absolute adult beginner in ballet. I love how you explain everything. It's so helpful. Thank you!

Not only did the exercises help a lot, but I never thought about how much force and where you're looking. This was great!

I'm training to become a fighter and my balance is non existence, but thankfully videos like there are around to help out with that
Good luck
i just wanna say...thank you so so much :3
im an absolute beginner, i've been doing ballet for only 4 days and im doing anything and everything under my capabilities to be an awesome ballerina some day :D
This is absolutely everything for a hip hop dancer who wanna try to dance with grace and learn ballet!
Outside my comfort zone and very humbling but so much fun! Challenge excepted!
Thank you so much! I haven’t been at ballet for a while because of corona and I’m doing my grade 4 exam soon so I need to give it my all so I can carry on with exams! I’m going on to point soon so this will really help my balance (as I’m not very good with balancing atm)
Great exercises Alessia!
I'm not a ballerina but I could do it almost all maybe because I wasn't thinking too much about it! Thank you!!!!
Hi, I do it every morning since some days, and it's going better and better... Thanks a lot.
me too! I wish you all the best with xour dancing! xo

I think balance exercises are even harder than strength workouts... I was hopping through my room but I hope I'll improve one day 😂😊

Thanks so, so much. This is really helping an old man regain his proprioceptive sense, and it's super fun!
Thank you so much!!! Glad it was helpful in so many ways! Enjoy every moment! 💕

Really liked this one! I'll be adding it in a few days a week or.. every day

@@em_dillemma totally agree!
Im trying to practice this things on my own :]
Is it hard for beginners
I am a dancer I love too dance I love your videos soooooooo much ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Thanks for the video! 😀
Do these exercises have specific names?
ty friend- sharing to Ashford Fitness Society- Balance is vital- esp as we age ( I am a most graceful klutz:)-
I’m starting ballet at 11 (14 now) and I’m still not good at it. Hopefully this stuff helps
will this be helpful in all types of dances or only for ballet?
pls reply
My guess is for all types of dance, since ballet can be seen as a base for a lot of dancing. Plus I doubt it would hurt.
@@dancerx411 thank you 💜☺️
You just look amazing while doing these exercises 😂😂😂😆😆👌
I'm a gymnastics but I would like to learn ballet too
i have enough power for spins but my balance is off in air will this help
