i'm so glad you found it helpful! i notice new students have the habit of crossing in back (it's more comfortable) so i really exaggerate crossing in FRONT here!
Thanks a million for your analysis. I'd just started ballet....pretty late at age 28. I got into it because Ido Portal briefly mentioned that ballet has system for longevity of the legs. I come from a combat sport background and noticed my body is starting to take a toll (developing sciatica like symptoms). I discovered progressive ballet technique and it helped tremendously with reversing my nerve pains. I took my 3rd class and loved it. Right now I'm in the middle of learning how to learn, so i can better absorb ballet. I saw your other video on tandu/elevae and they are such a service for safe training. Thank you thank you thank you. I hope i can practice until the age of 80
Awesome. I got 22 years on you and I recently started ballet myself. I have been taking adult classes for going on 3 years now and its the best thing I have ever done for myself. I just wish that I would of started at a much younger age, but doing fairly well so far. Best of luck to you!
I totally could have written a lot of this post (except I am 33) coming from a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu background but that sport kept aggravating my knee in a damaging way. Ballet has been great for all of my joints and muscles.
I found it very useful that you zoom on your feet and recorded it backwards, just like the instructors do it in a ballet class! That makes it easier to mirror you
You’re such a good teacher to turn around for your students!! I had to ask my teacher to please turn around last night. With this move, my brain was spending too much time translating as she’s was facing me - just too difficult!!
Thank you, Merci, so much for your, so useful, videos!!!!! I started Ballet 4 months ago, I'm 50 years old and now I take 3 classes per week...I'm hooked to Ballet!
This is an excellent tutorial. I appreciate the methodical way you broke this down. It helps us do a very "clean" pas de bouree. You are a gifted teacher. Thank you very much!
I am a beginner with a little bit of dance experience, and this is HARD! to piece together the releve and plies with the front and back, the counting and the ands. And the coordination. Imo ballet is for geniuses. ❤thank you for breaking it down. I’m so blessed to have found your channel ❤
This is an awesome tutorial. I just started back into ballet as an adult and Pas de bourree has always been confusing for me. It seems so simple and then it’s just not! Haha, but this has helped so much!! Love your videos!!!
I like the fact that you show the steps from this angle. Easier for the beginner to grasp. And bonus point for spelling French words with acute accents. :)
Awesome explanation. I started taking a once a week class a couple months ago. We had a substitute teacher for one class and she gave us center combinations with a ton of pas de boureé. I couldn't stop getting tripped up. Glad i found this video
Thank you so much, I take my first ballet class yesterday, it was basics even not for beginners but we saw so many things that it was a bit confusing to concentrate, and the teacher went fast on a few thing. Now I can practise at home without going wrong ^^
OMGosh, THANK You a thousand times for your posts. I am a beginning adult ballet student. Actually, very beginning cuz the last time I dared dance was at my wedding reception 33 years ago! ... perhaps not untypical for a Caucasian male in American culture. So yes, I am very "adult" then too. I started ballet just six weeks ago, so mid November. I found a class that isn't full of pre-pubescent girls, so neither me or the other students feel completely awkward, at least not socially. Physically, though I feel completely awkward with foot and body movements, positions, etc. I am so grateful to have found your vids. for example two classes ago we had a short sequence with pas de bourree, and I was completely LOST IN SPACE! With your help, I can get through the steps, at least with an idea of what I should be doing. It is ABSOLUTELY fabulous that you begin your vid here with your rear toward the camera. Its like you know how confusing it can be for a beginner to try to follow along while having to reverse the demonstration. It is super encouraging to now have a sense that soon (with just a bit more practice) I will be able to do pas de bourree and balance without having to devote 110% of my concentration on what direction my feet should be going in. So, for me ballet is the new yoga. Its super hard and super fun. I am learning so much about my body parts that I have not put to use in so very long. Your efforts and videos have made a huge difference to me, and I want to thank you and offer this positive feedback! Matt
thank you so much for making this video in the 1:1 perspective! I've found so many which are with dancers doing the pas de bourée frontal, which I simply couldn't do as I need to see someone in front of me so I can copy the movements. Thanks a lot!
thank you so much for breaking this down I’m learning this inmy absolute beginner workshop at the National Ballet Of Canada in Toronto also learning Center work I find it complicated but you’ve made it easier thank you take care 🩰🎼🙌
Oh wow! You are a great teacher! I love how your video visually helps me at home and the way you faced your feet! I have been trying to understand this in an adult ballet class I attend and my brain can't figure it out! I had been practicing on my own at home with no understanding until I found this video! Love and respect to you!
This vidéo is the best explanations concerning le pas de bourrée I have ever seen on Internet (midified for correction one mistakes .) Thank you very much!
You’re the bomb thank you! I always mess this up. This whole time I thought the tambe part was an extra step, didn’t realize it’s part of the 3 count. Wish u were my teacher
yes i understand. when i made this video, it was specifically for the students i was teaching at the time. Students were missing classes and needed to be able to learn the pas de bourree from their variation from home. (Think of Swanilda's friends in Coppelia) it had coupe
Yay thank you so much! These videos have helped my aspiring ballerina so much. My experience with dance is limited to show choir box step and jazz fingers, lol so I am not as much help to her 😄
At my studio the way they teach it is saying “back side front” and honestly, that and muscle memory are the only ways I don’t always accidentally do a grapevine
Minkus, who composed for Don Quixote, La Bayadere and Paquita doesn't use 3/4 very often. He seems to favor 6/8, 12/8 and 2/4. Tchaikovsky uses 3/4 but a lot of his ballet music is 2/4. Adam, who composed the music for Giselle and Le Corsaire also uses 6/8 a lot. most choreography repeats a similar movement about 3 times, but that can be for any time signature. not everything in ballet is a waltz. aside from pas de bourrée (which is essentially a waltz step if you spin it around) pas de basque and balancé, almost no other ballet movements are limited to a 3/4 count.
Omg i grew up doing ballet from 4 - 13 and had ways been taught that balancé was called pas de bourreé and none of the teachers ever corrected it- i looked up how to do it randomly and now my life feels like a lie lmao
Bruh, I don't even know ballet and I'm forced to do ballet basics that I don't even know of. Let alone my flexibility that I don't even have QwQ. But then I have to do it for my school project or I'll fail QwQ Ignore me, I'm just complaining about my school project because of my PE teacher and idk how to do this and I'm struggling. QwQ
It's the best pas de bourree tutorial I've seen. It's so detailed and helpful.
Please make some more about other basic ballet movements!

YEP! i do the same thing when i'm teaching to make it easier to follow along :)

Im so bad at pas de bouree, and this helped so much
Awww, your comment made me so happy for you!! 🤗😁 I'm glad you're doing better!!!
She helped me with releve (sp) she’s awesome

Your explanations are always so helpful. I love how you break it down.
I learned this in my first ballet class. I'm here to practice this at home.
I just started back into ballet I am almost 17 and has helped me a lot to remember something I did when I was 12.
Awesome explanation. I started taking a once a week class a couple months ago. We had a substitute teacher for one class and she gave us center combinations with a ton of pas de boureé. I couldn't stop getting tripped up. Glad i found this video
This is the most helpful ballet break-down I've ever seen. Thank you!

Love how you explain the steps! Great tutorial. You make pas de bourree less "salty" to learn!
Thank you! This is the most comprehensive breakdown I've seen. Really helpful.
I haven't gone to ballet in a while because I got busy finishing High School but I really love your tutorials.
thank you so much for making this video in the 1:1 perspective! I've found so many which are with dancers doing the pas de bourée frontal, which I simply couldn't do as I need to see someone in front of me so I can copy the movements. Thanks a lot!

for a pas de bourrée simple you should finish in fifth position not in coupé otherwise will become pas de bourrée tombé
yes i understand. when i made this video, it was specifically for the students i was teaching at the time. Students were missing classes and needed to be able to learn the pas de bourree from their variation from home. (Think of Swanilda's friends in Coppelia) it had coupe
Oh my god! I loveeeeee It! I really love this video, you are a good teacher! Thanks so much!! 💞🙏🇧🇷

At my studio the way they teach it is saying “back side front” and honestly, that and muscle memory are the only ways I don’t always accidentally do a grapevine

muuuchas graciiiias :D :D
Only counting make me confusing i tend to try to be on the same as music. Great tutorial.
Everybody make way, for a pas de bourree!
Can you do a tutorial on tour jete? It's pretty confusing for me and I struggle to let both legs fly behind me
Many classical ballet movements are performed in 3 times because ballet music is usually composed in a tempo of 3/4 (Also know as Tempo di Waltz)
Minkus, who composed for Don Quixote, La Bayadere and Paquita doesn't use 3/4 very often. He seems to favor 6/8, 12/8 and 2/4. Tchaikovsky uses 3/4 but a lot of his ballet music is 2/4. Adam, who composed the music for Giselle and Le Corsaire also uses 6/8 a lot. most choreography repeats a similar movement about 3 times, but that can be for any time signature. not everything in ballet is a waltz. aside from pas de bourrée (which is essentially a waltz step if you spin it around) pas de basque and balancé, almost no other ballet movements are limited to a 3/4 count.
So helpful!
