i like how his tone is firm and loud but hes not angry/negative hes stating how he wants the student to position their body n the mood of the class is not tense
And this is why the kids are so successful. They do so well because of the environment that they are in. If this studio was near me, I would leave mine in a heartbeat. I love MBA!!🤍🤍
I love that when the girls are at full extension and they don’t feel pain, instead of pushing them to stretch until it hurts, he compliments their abilities. I’m not a ballerina nor have I ever danced but I’ve seen those horrifying videos from Russia and china of girls being hyperextended to the point of sobbing and I’m so glad to see someone promoting health over extremes

Is hyper mobility really a good thing in dance? It seems like being able to do that would cause more injuries as your body fails to limit you in the correct direction?
@@CSEmberyeah it can mess you up. Im disabled from hypermobility//eds but as long as you build muscle it can usually help. Be careful with your kneecap with those stretches..
Makes me happy how when it's already an acceptable position and they don't feel a stretch he doesn't force them to go further. Ballet, gymnastics, you name it. Big change is coming for the better
Yup! When I was a gymnast, we did oversplits which is putting your front leg on top of a mat or block or something and split past the 180°. When we did that with no pain, our coaches would either find us a taller mat, or pull our front legs higher themselves.
@fenderr because flexibility is a huge component of the sport and it's easier to show that off during routines when you practice stretching with over splits.
@fenderr because with a greater over split, the easier the dance skills are. It's not like they hiked our legs an extra foot. It was just enough to add some stretch instead of being easy. When you do 180° splits, eventually it stops hurting so it's good to push a little bit past whats easy. It's like doing 30 push ups and feeling like you can't do more but if you do a couple more, you build muscle and stamina. Same goes for stretching. You push for that extra half inch or so then go back to where you are comfortable. Then the next time you do the same thing until that extra half inch is your new normal. If you are already warmed up and are used to flexibility, it doesn't hurt to add height, it just feels like pressure... then you back off.
Not unless someone teaches her how to control that degree of hyperextension. Never learning how to control my hypermobile joints because it was encouraged in ballet and gymnastics is one of the reasons I've been stuck walking with a cane or a crutch since I was 21.
@IW3527 exactly what I was thinking. I could see that knee mobility a mile away and that will be excruciating in 10 years without better support and control
@@ShapeshifterGirl1 as much as I love ballet the flagrant disregard for joint health hasn't changed. Studios will run kids into permanent connective tissue damage in the name of good lines when they should be the 1st to realize its a career breaker.
First of all love this, this is both adorable and hilarious. Secondly, tell him THANK YOU for saying that little girl was “lucky” to have the flexibility she has!!! I was straight up shamed and berated most of my time dancing as a child because I wasn’t flexible and I worked my ASS OFF and I was still told I “wasn’t stretching enough” but in reality I was very much surrounded by lucky girls with natural flexibility, and I was unfortunately not one of the lucky ones.
@@Inquiringmindswtk In the majority of the clips, I saw Slawomir working with the students on flexibility to a safe comfort level with a straight back. This is proper form for higher levels of flexibility, and flexibility leads to unforced turn out. Turn out was addressed in one single clip, and from other videos, Slawomir likely addressed it in a silly manner knowing the student was capable of a higher skill level. That said, I do not personally know the teacher, or the student.
It was gentle but the reminded her what was needed. My PT does similar sometimes. Touching a muscle or similar to get me to engage. Same idea. Not harmful.
love that he says "well you're lucky too" instead of pushing his students to wall back to back until they actually sob and scream in pain (yes it has happened before)
He seems like such a great teacher. You can tell he's serious but still remembers this is something fun. It reflects in the kids and shows you don't have to terrorize children to teach them to dance (or anything else) well.
i love the relationship teacher has with his students and photographer, and the relationship photographer has with literally everyone! they're all like one big family 🥹
I stopped doing ballet earlier this week because of personal reasons, but I sincerely appreciate your patience with these children! My old teacher overstretched us and was really strict lol
Lol shout out to all my hyperextended kids .I used to get chastised in gym for not feeling the stretch but these little ones are called lucky and so they are😊
That got me a fast pass to the big kids' class with my older sister when I was little 🥰 I felt so special and so happy because the class with the kids my age was way too easy 😂 I like how he has such a huge age range of kids here!
@@SobrietyandSolace omg yes my thoughts exactly. I loved the easy stretches and beautiful lines...until at 24 the pain started and a few years later when I'm in a flare I can't even do up my buttons 😊
Oh man this is how you know he is a great teacher. He teaches the kids with a firm but fun and gentle tone and keeps the mood light while ensuring they learn. Perfect.
This is how you teach 🙌 keeping it real and to the point. And accountability but in a proactive way. Building them up to be who they are destined to be. This is SO important in all fields of study and practice.
I had a strict teacher as a kid and we were a little scared of her and we loved her. She retired and we got a super sweet teacher and it was less fun. When the strict teacher said it was good, you knew it was good.
I would learn very well in this environment. Clear and firm, but not aggressive. I can tell from this minute long video that he is an INCREDIBLE instructor
This is a balm to the soul after seeing other videos of kids getting injured due to being pushed too far, too fast with stretching. Excellent instructor! They are kids first and foremost, and you can tell he gets that.
If I had had a teacher like this when I was in dance when I was little, I would’ve stayed. My instructor yelled at us in this tiny classroom and all I can remember is just feeling terrified of her. Keep in mind we were ages 3 to 5.
Natural dance like contemporary dance, hip hop, modern, jazz dance and world dance help children grow up with candor, beauty, natural and naturalness and help them know and understand their abilities. Playing an instrument is great too. Just playing helps growth and growing Ballet is sick and super competitive and teaches some absolutely insane ideas .
His results are proof of what a good man and teacher he is. Respect, discipline, training, encouragement instead of fear means so very much. When he's firm but yet has fun with everyone, not just the children, we definitely see the results of his professionalism he received from his students! He brings the best out in his students and has produced the very best dancers!! IMO I adore this man and his academy! Eva, thank you for bringing such enjoyment to this old crippled womans life a couple of years ago when i first saw your photography, which is absolutely stunning,!! I've never watched ballet in my entire life until i come across Eva! She literally opened my eyes to a whole new world and its beautiful. Especially for someone that is disabled and can only dream to see a real life show one day. 💞Eva, thank you again for the laughs, learning of new things, so much enjoyment watching these shorts and yours and other girls I'm subbed to because of you. I've also really and truly enjoyed watching how much you have progressed in your training. Younglady i think you have surprised many of your peers but i for one never doubted your talent for ballet even if you say it isn't really for anything but you wanting to do it. You have done so well and have picked up so much so fast. I'm so proud of EVERYTHING you've accomplished through your hard work! You're one of a kind in my book. You have the world by the tail. I hope you much success in whatever you decide to do. You're very much appreciated!
I love this dance teacher!! Sadly I remember one of our dance teachers called us elephants 😭 and made a girl cry by calling her fat and saying she will never be good..BUT good news!!! SHE GOT FIRED HAHAHHAHA
I've heard horror stories about people's experience doing ballet as little kids... And for that reason I used to be glad that I never did it. But seeing this makes me so happy. I know this is only a snippet and we never know what really goes on, but it seems like such a healthy, positive AND FUN environment (the last one I think is the most important given their young age) 🖤
When I was a young dancer in training I feel like I learned more and performed better for my ballet masters than my mistress. I have a sense these little dancers love their teachers very much and it inspires them to work their hardest. Well done! Pure joy!
