Oh thank you! I have to learn this for a course next week! 💕

How come I can’t do the splits in less then 7 minutes?

My glasses keeps falling lol. I wish i was a ballerina

Aaaaaaa my legss

Sadly the jump comes much to late! This way assemble en suite or assemble battu is not possible….

What is the music for the variation?

So useful and perfect 👌

Thank you so much!! This is so helpful for me.

Me encanta este video y me da fuerzas para seguir en el ballet ! Comencé a hacer ballet hace 5 años , cuando tenía 57 años , en clases de ballet para adultos ! Y hace dos años comencé con las puntas ! Tengo temporadas de mucha frustracion la verdad porque esto es un proceso muy lento y hay que ir poco a poco ! Este año estoy mejor con las puntas , siento los tobillos y pies mucho más fuertes y ya hago cosas que jamás pensé que podría hacer ! 🤗😁 Muchas gracias por tus videos que me ayudan mucho ❤🥰

Since so many people are asking about progression with this: Both legs stretched out in front of you. Lean slightly back onto your hands but keep your back very straight. Slightly bend the knee of your working leg to shorten the lever until you are able to lift the leg. Slowly lift it as high as you can. Feel which muscles are working. Hold for three, two, one, then lower it down, slowly and controlled. On the last repetition, either pulse your leg at the highest point or try to stretch your knee without dropping your thigh. Finally, hold the leg for as long as you can. It will slowly lower as your muscles fail. Don't let it drop. Hang in there. For side extensions, do the same exercise but standing up. Leg slightly bent, then lift and lower, pulse or attempt to stretch on the last rep, then hold and lower. You will be very, very sore after the first few times you do this. So make sure that on the day after you do a very mild version of this exercise, no holding, just engaging the muscles for a bit, to encourage healing. It also helps to put heat on your hips and to massage your tendons. To make the exercise harder, just stretch your working leg more and more and sit up straighter.

It might be obvious but is this video mirrored or not? I think it is, but I'm not sure. Thank you so much for enabling us to be able to dance such a wonderful variation, it means a lot to me

what are the stretches called @8:30?

I'm teaching variations to my students and this has been so helpful, keep going!

:)

2:48 - Deep plié right before pirouette, knees over feet, really use it and keep all toes on the floor until pirouette! • When in plié, keep pelvis in line with the spine. - Strong arms, don’t let them fall in the pirouette - Do not lose leg position in the pirouette or your posture

Which music you have? I have two different found in the internet. Please can you send the Link. Thank you so much

Thank you. This helped a lot! I'm testing out of my level and forgot what this was. Also, we have the same name lol, so I was a little shocked when I clicked on this video :)

This was very helpful and fun! Thank you

Love it!

I wish I knew how hard it was like how much effort you had to put into it and I wouldn't have been so frustrated and quit. I do it now for fun but I wish I would have known that I could enjoy ballet and that I would only be able to do certain things and that I was not built for ballet if that makes sense. I can enjoy it but I am not very good at it and it is very hard. Had I really understood all that I could have enjoyed it more as a hobby, not wasted so much effort, anxiety, and money and I might have actually been better at it.

I cant see wich leg your using

My drill team teacher is using this video this year for our warm ups :)

This is the first ballet barre class I’ve taken since I was 18 - 1997! Thank you so much for this! My skills are definitely not the same 😅 but my forgotten love for it is!

Hi, Yelena, your videos are excellent! May I ask do you mirror your videos or not? I am quiet confused with light or right side.

Danke schön. Feeling my inner Hamstrings.

I haven’t done ballet since I was a kid I’m 18 now and fell back in love with it so I’m starting with stretches before I join up because I lost most of it. I know I will die in class if I don’t get it back lol

warm-up routines nice

These videos are wonderful! Is there any way you could do the other fairies from this scene and the jewel fairies? And Ashton's Seasonal fairies from Cinderella? I love being able to use tutorials videos for my favorite variations to help me understand ballet vocabulary as a viewer.

I love your videos ❤ Can you do a tutorial for acte 1 of Kitri please ?

No tutu?

I am not kidding, its been 3 DAYS! Ive seen results with these! I was able to stretch more and go lower down! Thank you for this!
