Great workout, Alessia! Balance is so important for everything we do, and absolutely in ballet! When I was a personal trainer, I incorporated balance in my workouts as well! 💚
It's nice to see a simple short centre style class. I often do half hour (well, they are half an hour without the intros to the sequences) ballet bar style sessions from another channel (I'm looking forward to trying your longer classical barre one at some point). She has centres as well, that I occasionally try to do, but usually, if I have time and I want to keep going by that point, I just want to move and do something that feels somewhat dancey/expressive without spending at least half the time in the actual learning the sequence she proposes to do (I suppose you could just do one a time and the improvise around it, if you pick appropriate music, which would somewhat solve the issue, and is not something I thought of doing before writing this! lol). But, if you fancied were thinking of doing a couple of videos like that, it would be cool :) Small amount of moving space required is also helpful given the usual state of my living room (and it would seem by the size of yours/the restriction of the camera), and also, makes videos on youtube easier to follow along too! You're completely awesome :) and I still love watching/following along with your videos :)
I'm so happy to hear you are having fun! Space restriction, as you can see, is a bit unfortunate, but nothing stops us from dancing! I will definitely do some more centre work and your idea sounds great! I'll get on working for the next video! Yey! Thanks for the input! Love it! Keep on dancing and having fun! Ciao Alessia
can you please do more center (no barre) classes? a full center class would be really beneficial just like how you have a full barre class (50 ish min) but one without a barre! tyvm, ciao :)
sooo helpful! I am recovering after back surgery and have a foot drop on the ankle level. I feel that your series are helping me to recover strength and feeling in my ankle- and they are simple, fun and pretty! Thank you!!
Olga, I'm so glad these exercises are helping you out, hope you are still working on them to get even stronger now. Getting back from surgery is never easy but you are strong and determined :) All the best Love Alessia
Bravo Abby! Have you tried these ones too? lazydancertips.com/workout/4-exercises-to-improve-pirouette/ lazydancertips.com/workout/how-to-improve-your-balance/ Hope they help! Love Alessia
Because today at ballet class I lost my balance many times during my plié, sissone etc.... I think tomorrow morning I'll make best practice watching this amazing video, my dear!
Hi, thank you for uploading great videos. This video is awesome like the others!! I can catch up with the beginning of this video, but I could not keep the balance after half of this video. Will practice this one over and over again. So much fun and effective. Love your style of your teaching rhythms without very long talking like some videos. Love your videos so much!! Cannot wait for the next video. Thank you soooo much!!!
Mo I'm so happy to hear about your progress! You'll get stronger and stronger, and you'll do these exercises with your eyes closed soon! Bravo! Ciao Alessia
Thank you for this video that will be very beneficial to me because I have a lot of trouble to stay in balance after I am a beginner. Now go to work to improve
I really like your videos! Would it be possible to publish a slower version of each, say x0.8 speed or thereabouts? YT has x0.5 speed but that's a bit too slow!
thank you for this vidéo ! I m going to try very soon ! do you think it is possible to do a vidéo to improve turns ? thank you in advance for your answer.
+Lazy Dancer Tips I have done the exercices, very good workout !!!! I love it ! I m going to do it several times a week. thank you again for your videos. you are very helpful for me ! !!!
Hi Amanda, all the videos are very easy to follow along, I don't have any steps breakdown at the moment, most of the fitness barres are suitable for complete beginners. Let me know how it goes. Ciao Alessia
Hey Alessia ,I was thinking if you could give me your opinion.... im a 12year-old girl...and Im learning all alone ballet with videos and all this internet staff ....so can you please tell me if you believe that I might learn by myself ???Not for using ballet for job...but because I like dancing it...If you can tell me your opinion....with admire and respect
Hi Nikie, I'm sure, if it's only for your personal enjoyment, you can definitely learn at home, but wouldn't it be nicer to meet other people like you, that love having fun and learning ballet together? A dance school is much more fun and maybe you can even learn other disciplines there, as well as ballet. With company and laughs is always more interesting :) Love Alessia
if you need to warmup the whole body yes, this starts quite slow, but if you want to feel all the benefits, yes it would be a great idea to do something quick to warm up beforehand.Have fun! Ciao Alessia :)
eek! I thought my balance was improving, but a long way to go! I saw one dance blog who said wobbling around wasn't really doing much for you, you should use the barre if you can't balance, push down on the barre, pull up to the top of your muscle tone, and hold there. This is how you get the strength to improve balance. What do you think, Alessia?
Well if you think about it we are doing class at home, it's kind of Lazy. Just a personal joke to myself really, calling a dancer Lazy when we perfectly know we are not as we work super hard each day. :) ps You are not being rude at all, it's a very fair question :) Thank yo for asking :D Ciao Alessia
The title also works very well mentally, I think: on those days when I have no energy, motivation or time to do my normal training regime, I fool myself into thinking I'll do something easy and fun and "lazy", just to keep my body going, and in this sense, the name of the channel is perfect. It motivates me to move when I don't feel like doing anything too hard or lengthy.
@@lazydancertips I also made the mistake of thinking that these workouts are easy. But then I get sweaty and sore and really enjoy the whole experience. Wonderful workouts!!
Hi Kathleen! Thank you for your message. If your hips wobble you need to work on your core strength. Lots of abs exercises will help you achieve your stability! I've linked down here exercises that will help you with that lazydancertips.com/workout/5-minute-ish-abs-workout-for-beginner/ lazydancertips.com/workout/5-min-abs-workout-intermediate/ lazydancertips.com/workout/5-min-abs-workout-advanced/ lazydancertips.com/workout/improve-your-ballet-back-for-arabesque/ lazydancertips.com/workout/ballet-exercises-at-the-office/ lazydancertips.com/workout/how-to-improve-your-balance/ lazydancertips.com/workout/3-days-5min-beach-abs-challenge-day-1/ lazydancertips.com/workout/barre-abs-fitness-workout/ Let me know how you get on ! I want to hear all about it! Ciao Alessia
Thank you so much for making this video! I think it's helped my balance already, and, hopeful in time with practice I think it will very much improve my pirouettes :D Jesus Loves You, -Michaila
Are your battements in this video meant to be grand battements or jetés? They seem too high to be jetés and too low to be grand battements. I do them as grand battements anyway, and then try to keep the leg at least 90 degrees, for increased difficulty.
Hope I didn't kill you too much Laetitia! I have a video that might help your demi pointe lazydancertips.com/workout/improve-feet-strength-for-ballet-and-dance/ oh and try this one too! lazydancertips.com/workout/how-to-strengthen-calves-and-ankles/ Let me know how you get on with them! Ciao Alessia :)
Hi Gesine :) When I started been serious about dancing, around 12 yo, I used to train mon-fri 3- 6 hours a day. Then when I moved to NZ school of Dance and ENB school we trained every day, saturday included from 8.30 am till 5.30. In a company we start with class in the morning then rehears all day untill 6. It's a tough life but if this is what you want to do you must be prepared to work hard :) I wish you all the best and never give up! Love Alessia
Same here. For me I think it's because my turn-out is not big and my pelvis is very narrow, so working from a very open position gives more space for my hips to work than from 1st or 5th. I think this is the reason why males have more pirouettes from 2nd position in ballet compared to females, and I most definitely don't have a female body type!
Sounds like the perfect plan! Then you can try to stand on one foot for only a short time and build up from there! Perfect practice for walking in stilettos! :D Love Alessia
I have had this on replay for years, it's so good!❤
Another favorite. I would like to see more balance practices and I love the length, as it makes it easy to fit into a daily schedule.
I'm an older woman and I know balance is important. Thank you for these workouts.
It's crazy how much muscle I have lost since I stopped dancing ! Great video. I loved the exercises. 👍

Hey Alessia! May I ask you how many hours a day you train ballett? I'm just curious. As a little girl, I also wanted to become a ballerina...
Hi Gesine :)

Weirdly, I find it easier with feet wide going to demi rather than from first. But, then, I am weird...! Thanks :)
Ahahah Aren't we all? Bravo! :D

As a non-dancer, my simple version of this exercise is to always stand on full feet🙊

me gusta lo que enseñas, seria genial en español
Thank you! :D I'll do my best to learn spanish!! :D Ciao Alessia
