I relate to the random sounds you make while dancing 😂😂

Yes! Another Can I Still Dance Challenge!! You still pirouette so beautifully, Claudia. I think you passed. The pirouettes were still lovely even if the landings weren't fabulous. I loved the en dehor one. BEAUTIFUL. XD I love hearing your tips as well. They are so useful, and they've really helped me out.

It's rather random but the "Can I still dance" videos have become my favourite soothing bedtime videos to watch. I've watched them so many times! I had to give up ballet in my late teens (I'm now 53) but these videos just take me back to happy memories of dancing with The Scottish Ballet in their 1976 annual production of The Nutcracker. Back then I was the only working class girl who attended ballet lessons at my first decent, and very middle class, dance school. My father's family thought I had ideas above my station and tried to bribe me with Highland dance classes but classical ballet just spoke to me. I can't explain it but I think it's something all you dancers will understand. So many years ago but I still remember all the terminology, still remember the thrill of my first performance, my first pointe shoes. So, thank you Claudia. Your videos remind me that , despite the years, the dancer inside lives on.

Even if you fell out of some you still rocked it! Your technique is so amazing it blows my mind! Definitely want to be like you when I get older 💓

This is so much educational than I expected!!! 😮👍 GREAT for learning turns or perfecting them!! 😃 Such a good way of learning. Any student that goes in your class is simply *BLESSED!* 💕💕🌟🌟

It's so fascinating to watch your videos. I've never danced ballet nor do I really dance in real life but watching you coach is so enjoyable.

Did anyone else catch The Flintstones theme for the traveling fouttes? 🤣🤣🤣

Okay I feel sort of embarrassed for asking this. I used to take ballet lessons when I was a kid. I haven’t danced in years. Ballet has always fascinated me, and I’ve wanted to start taking lessons for a while...I’m 26 and a COMPLETE beginner. What can I do? I mean obviously I’m not going to be able to dance professionally, but honestly I would love to learn the steps and be able to move well! Also, could you do like a ballet for beginners or ballet 101? I don’t know how many people watching are non-dancers, but I know I would love it! I love all your videos!

THE ANGEL OF MUSIC INSTRUMENTAL IN THE LAST DANCE, YES.

I love the way you are able to compassionately critique yourself and then put the corrections into practice- I definitely need to work on this sort of self awareness when I'm dancing :)

Claudia this is Terrific! Whether or not you are happy with technical execution I think your approach to tackling the movement, having another attempt, pinpointing corrections and not giving up is all part of the challenge that surely inspires students of ballet whatever their level. From me... ' Distinction'🤗

You are ridiculously talented! I hope you never stop dancing completely! (And I love hearing the self coaching!) ❤️❤️❤️

Your pirouettes are flawlessly perfect. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel!!!

Again loved it!!!!! Your videos always make me happy. You definitely still got it, beautiful pirouettes!!! Love you Claudia ❤️ Want to see more can I still dance challenges 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Hello! I just wanted to say thank you for all your help! Ever since I started watching your videos, I’ve improved as a dancer. They other day I was surprised because my leaps were the highest they’ve ever been! Once again thank you so much! ❤️

The flintstones music for the traveling pirouettes! 😂😂 Edit: I also noticed the phantom of the opera music, 💕😊

I love watching your videos, they have been so educational for me! I’m a 37 year old Mom who is going back in pointe after 20+ years😲.

Love your exuberance & your willingness to put it all out there!

Haven't wanted the video yet, but i know the answer is yes you can! Can't wait to see your epic skills!

awww yes! I love these challenges! you're amazing Claudia, 11/10 pass!! 😄 😘❤️

Ahhh! Your feet must be screaming!! And you always pass in my book! I'm willing to bet that with a little practice, you'd nail all of these, making it look effortless :)

Beautiful!!💗Miss Claudia you're truly amazing of course after 4 years of not training we have flaws but I love the way you explained it all and helped me a lot on my weaknesses!!💕Keep up the great work and of course you passed!!☺

I love the flintstones music to the traveling fouettes😂💕😄

I danced for 11years before a personal issue stopped me from continuing but watching your videos have bought back my spark and I think I'm going to start again next year, thank-you so much ahaha

I love the fact that you're correcting yourself it's really useful !

Wooow, Claudia you are really goooood!!!! 😍😍😍. Obviously pass 🙌.

Beautiful! Still love your moves and teaching!

I enjoyed this so much. Loved how you were able to critique yourself and apply the correction. Very impressive.

I love watching these, and when ever I watch your channel I always look at all the videos, even old ones, is it just me????😂

Traveling fouttes to " meet the flinstones" haha. Beautiful! I love watching you. I danced until i was 14 when i got rheumatoid disease so i had to stop and never got to get to your level. Watching you makes me feel like im dancing again. It makes me forget im in a wheelchair. Thank u for the feelings.

THIS IS AMAZING! love it and youuu

Awesome to see you rocking these. Maybe they need a bit of polish but for an older dancer a few decades older than you but still on pointe as myself, it’s good to see it’s still possible and what the hints are to using to do them.

I love these videos soooo much I could sit here for hours

You’re killing this! I love watching these videos and the corrections are especially helpful!! So fun! Also the music in the background is amazing, love so many of the songs!

Yeah all of them are pretty win. Speciallt on the 2nd try, corrections and awareness is the key. Love your videos. You can definitely dance. Would love to see your perfect like 5th try at each one of these, you def have the potential for it.

I love this challenges they are my favorite!🤩🤩 love you claud you are my favorite ballet mom 💙💙

Awesome as always! Would be great if you could teach a class of advanced beginner or intermediate for us to practice along with as Katherine Morgan did a few weeks back. Although, she was Advanced/Intermediate and some of us have been away from ballet for too long, and cold use a bit more of a warm up to that level. ;)

Absolutely loved this Claudia !! Thankyou so much❤️❤️❤️ I never knew traveling fouettés existed!!😂 to me you passed !! Xx

I love you! Claudia, you are a beautiful dancer and your technique might be rusty compared to before.....but it's flawless - perfect form is not far from you. There were no fails apart from your hilarious finishes. I believe you could be a prima. I wish I could see you do all these challenges again....differently......letting your centre float in and out here and there, living and breathing the music out through your port de bras.....fake it when you don't make it and finish beautifully? Even if it's not as fast or perfect? I would so love to see it in that format. You have such a beautiful face and smile - I believe you could own the stage. Thank you!!!

I've loved the Phantom of the opera music for the diagonal!

Loved Angel of Music in the background of the pirouettes from the corner

To me she passed everything also the fails, because the second try after the corrections she gave herself were incredibly better😍

such a fab video!! You are so great at turns!

STILL AMAZING!!!!!!

Your fouettes with attitude then pull in were so much better in the correction stage. I'm so glad you go through this process. It just makes you a teacher who dancers can really relate to. You've talked about "sitting in a chair" without collapsing -- which has helped me and others I've coached so much. The center line explanation makes so much sense. One question in coaching a dancer for traveling -- what do you tell the dancer to help them actually travel? Is it actually just a hop forward? Great Work, Claudia. Love your channel and YOU!!

Still got it.

Claudia Dean still has more talent in one pointe shoe than most people have in total. 😄

Beautiful

Hey Claudia! I juat got my pointe shoes! Definately used your advice, thank you so much for all of your videos, you have helped me so much in terms of improving as a dancer. Love you so much!! love from new zealand❤️❤️

He piano is from phantom of the Opera also it's the effort that counts

Love you Claudia, I'm a ballerina myself and even you're videos help me to practice even more at home!!😍😘

Combo 1: Very beautiful, especially those an attitude turns!! Combo 2: Gorgeous! Definitely a pass! Combo 3: The second time was very stunning. Combo 4: Pass as far as I'm concerned, especially considering you hadn't practiced it! Combo 5: Definitely a pass! I especially love the last one with the extended leg (know you didn't mean to do it but it was lovely anyway)! Combo 6: Those first sets were flawless, save you didn't' quite hit a fifth every time, but then again, who can? I really enjoy these! Please do more!

Claudia! If you ever get around to trying turns again please try a fouetté combo (I've only ever seen it twice from the Le Corsaire). 4 fouettés but between turn 3 and 4 you fouetté on Pointe...😀

I think you passed!!!Amazing video...Again!!!💃💕

You did an amazing job! So much fun to watch!!

Nicely done, given how long it’s been!!!

I think you passed all of them. Your technique was the only thing that needed improvement, but regardless after 10 years of not dancing your muscles still remembered. Bravo!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is AMAZING!!! You are incredible!😍 Also, this video is so educational, thank you!!

I love these videos, especially this one since I could see the improvements so clearly before and after corrections. Also, I loved that angel of music arrangement for the en dehors turns and the carpenters arrangement for the turns from fifth! Could you maybe link the pieces, or tell me the arrangers? Thank you Ms. Claudia love love love your channel! It has helped me so much in my classes!

Haha... the music! There's the Flintstone song, Abba: Top Of The World, awesome! And lovely dancing still of course...

Ohh i love this woman😍😍

I really like your minimalist make up!

You still have it in you!!!

I loveeeeeee you, you are so talented

For me you passed everything... Ps love you Claudia ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Omg I love it I use to dance in highschool making me wanna get back into it as a 28yr old house wife and mother of a 15 month old

Phantom of the opra music and ballet!!!!!!!!yes

Traveling fouettés are actually shown in Coppelia act 3 after Swanhilda variation.

YESSS! i love this video! You did amazing as always. Do you have any tips for the upper body? i really need help with it.

This is really fun and educational to watch ... I'm pretty sure you've passed Mrs Claudia 👍✌✨

loved it! ♥

I love your videos for improve myself. I like the way that you explain so easy to understand warm regards from mx city

Jump editionnnnnm ❤️

You're such an amazing dancer 😍 btw whats the paquita solo you mentioned?

Maravillosa tienes una fuerza …..espectacular y ese carisma poderoso

Hi Claudia! What are your tips for triple pirouettes en pointe? Love your vids💕

Hi, Claudia. I really enjoy your content. I don't know how common this is in ballet as it is in contemporary, but I'd love to see you doing an improvisation in this series. Just you communicating with the music...

Im so proud of you, Claudia Dean.

Im not a dancer but im a huge fan i love your channel id love to see you try doing somthing from the nutcracker its one of my favorite ballets keep up the good work ❤️

Do a pas de deux edition next 😁

You are amazing Claudia! Could you tell me which point shoes you are wearing?

loved it!

Loving the music from the flinstones and phantom of the opera😂

I think you passed with a good 89 out of 100. In all of them, considering that you aren't working on dancing. But you should go back dancing. Because you're fabulous dancing... I would love seeing you dancing jazz dance too (in heels if possible).

Adooooroooo❤

Hi Claudia💘 Do you have any tips for not gripping your quads in extensions? I really struggle with this and feel like I cant really get my leg up as high as i want to☺️

These videos are such great fun! Could you do a PAS DE DEUX Dance Challenge? 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I just started ballet last Tuesday and I love it!

Not bad !!ur impressive 😙😻😻

The one thing I dread in dance is when my instructor says “everyone in a line ready in first position” knowing I’m about to show off my terrrrrible turns! TIPS ANYONE

Omg, how good

I can't imagine how can you not dance for years when you can actually do it so "easily ". If not dancing, what sport do you do to keep you in health?

5:50 I just did that variation on pointe today!!

The last ones song... THAT WAS FROM PHANTOM KF THE OPERA

you did great Glaudia, how about the steps from the entrance of Kingdom of the Shades????

Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to audition tape tips. Your audition tips were very helpful but I'm sending a video in and I was just wondering what tips would apply for a video. Your amazing, thank you.

No lame ducks?? Oh well 😂 I’d say you passed, can’t believe that after the la pasquita turns you still managed to nail the triple (I think) en dedans so well

Omg, I can't do any of those things on pointe so don't worry, it's still much better than I can do. Passed, passed, passed!

You should do a video where you try modern dance, I would really love to see that!

This makes me want to go back to dance so bad
