You will improve you ballet with in days and blow your friends away! Don’t you want to see the looks on there faces?
To be a dancer yes. But this is about contortion… That’s my whole point. This isn’t about being a ballet dancer, this is about being a contortionist. The girl is just showing us some ballet moves to help contortion, not dancing.
Never mind… you either don’t get it or you don’t want to. Whatever the case, I’m done. This isn’t worth THIS much time on a video.
Huh?
Why are you taking one comment so personally?
What level ballet did you finish 3? A real dancer would know you have to turn out.
Mad about what?? How you can you tell if I’m mad without hearing my voice tone who seeing my facial expressions?
And that’s not actually true. Speaking as someone who took ballet and gymnastics and is now work on contortion. I’ve seen no evidence of what you just said.
Well clearly no one would no that if you dont turn your legs out you can snap your knee and seriously ingure yourself, which is why i left the first comment. You dont need to mad.
It says “ballet moves FOR contortion”. IDK about you but when I read that what I understood it to mean was it would should be some ballet moves that help improve contorting. NOT ballet moves to help me become a ballet dancer…
Then it should be contortion moves not ballet. Funny how its EXPERTvillage.
Oh so what? Get over it. This is to learn contortion and not actual ballet training.
her supporting leg isn’t even turned out.
you just start to train from now, i wasn’t flexible last year, but i started taking ballet lessons and about a month later I could do it. The key is just motivation
good luck
I noticed her biography said she’s been training since a very young age. So trying to achieve even half of what she’s able to do may be close to impossible for an adult – even with proper daily training.
she might not be the best at this or whatever but you people don’t have to be so rude!there is always someone better than you anyways.your not the best either.
?????how do you call it when ur leg is straight up next to your head???? how can you learn it? is there a video/text with suggestions to learn it?
this series of videos is interesting and the girl talking you through is very relaxed and friendly.
