HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH then go join anaheim. see how EASY IT FUCKING IS. you don’t have the talent or the brains. ballet is NOT FUCKING EASY! its harder than anything you could ever do!! you would fail most epically, you dick!!
guess she’s never learnt ballet well…
bad……everything…..Americans in general don’t know ballet……better watch the Cubans/Russians/French. No matter whether a dancer is going pro or doing it for fun, they need solid training with good basics including placement so they don’t have injuries later on….
First of all, the ¨beautiful first position¨ is just….ugh…
Second, her attire is wrong, she should wear tights in order to better see her body.
Third, her grip to the barre!!! Its like she´s holding on to dear life!
Fourth, it bothers me that her posture is all wrong. Why does she stick out her butt???
i cant watch this. it’s like nails on a chalkboard… ughh
This is very poorly demonstrated as well as taught. I can’t even go into an explanation every thing that is wrong with this, it’d take me years. Please beginners, DO NOT WATCH THIS
ballet is easy.. its not possible the fuck up something easy as ballet…
her arms are driving me crazy! i just have to watch these 2 try to explain ballet bc its hilarious.
that is not so weird!!
i can’t wach that shit!!!!
OMG!!!!!look at that first position…terrible!!!!i am beginner,but i am not idiot to do those things!!!!
her body is always shaking,right?
Overall, this a very good explanation. You don’t need to be the best dancer to be the best teacher.
dude, she blinks alot!
Kmt. im about to start ballet classes and have been watching alot of her videos to get a head start.. by reading most of ure comments, i regret wasting my time lol.
wasnt that like, a badly executed frappé, without sur le cou de pied?
im confuzzled!
I love to do ballet and hop hip it is like doing exercise
she doesn’t press her knees back in plie or work through the floor.

I Cannot agree more!! I knew that from the very start LOL
This is not a joke, i wish it were. this woman has a dance studio, and i hope she is not destroying any more bodies. shes also a hot head with her students.
Her hips are Movin..that MUST NOT HAPPEN!
Please! Stop Uploading vids and calling yourself a professional!
This is a joke.
Obviously neither of them are professional dancers. She does nothing to explain the execution correctly, nor is she teaching at all. She’s basically just making observations.
nice !
also – this student has NO control, does not work through the floor at any point. En croix is not a ‘routine’ for heaven’s sake!!
