Remember - you are loved! Jesus loved you and gave His life so you can be free because of Him! He died on the cross so we can be set free. He wants all of us to repent of our sins and be given a new life in Him!

You have a gift for explaining things. So glad I found your channel. I subscribed and will be watching! Great supplement to my classes in person. Thanks

this was so helpful thank you

So helpful! I am a new adult beginner and really appreciate you breaking this into the tiniest of steps!

I would love to see a Xena ballet or ballet opera. Is that a thing?

These are great. Each of these videos are a master class.

Hi! This is so helpful! I always thought that épaulement was a very specific movement that happens when you’re in second arabesque or tendu derrière with your working leg downstage. Say you just came from first arabesque arms and you roll your upstage arm back so that your downstage arm comes forward, forming a diagonal line with your arms as your head faces the audience. The whole movement kind of causes your spine to form a spiral. Anyways, this was the only movement that my teachers called épaulement, but now that I’m preparing to teach ballet myself it’s good to know that it’s not the only instance of épaulement. Thanks! 😊

Thank you! This is the most comprehensive breakdown I've seen. Really helpful.

Thank you for talking about hypermobility. I have very bendy "rubber feet" with very high arches and this causes me a lot of ankle instability. I have to do a lot of strength training and work with a physiotherapist to learn not to overstretch. You are the first dancer/teacher I've encountered who is aware of EDS and how it affects the body. I wish there was more awareness of this condition in the dance community.

Love how you explain the steps! Great tutorial. You make pas de bourree less "salty" to learn!

Lovely explanation. I’m not understanding your pronunciation of this word. Maybe it has a unique pronunciation in American ballet terminology? In French it is a three syllable word and the middle syllable is pretty close to the English word “pole.” Or you might hear a little shadow vowel between the L and the M making it almost 4 syllables. It seems like you are saying the second syllable like the Italian word “puoi” rhyming with “boy.” In normal French there couldn’t possibly be any Y sound at the end of the syllable. Maybe in ballet it is somehow pronounced the way you are saying it.

The explanation starts at 3:00.

So clear!!! Thank you ❤❤❤

awesome. I subscribed. thank you

I so wish the general public would stop appropriating black queer culture. My white nieces who have attended a private conservative christian school since they were very young use this same terminology. At the last family gathering I heard one of them say to the other, "You do you, boo," and thought I was going to lose my mind right then and there. This video got an immediate like and subscribe. I started ballet at the late age of 14 back in 1995. I danced six days a week all throughout high school and then two or three days a week through college and into my mid-twenties. I was away from it for over a decade coming back at 36. I'm now 43. I often find myself longing for the respectful and disciplined classes of my youth. The difference between 2005 and 2024 seems surreal at times.

Thank u so much for breaking it down in so much detail!

I like the stepping over the puddle for a slight push, and I need to pay attention to where my arms are, a very helpful video!

I found this video and saw "4y ago" and sighed thinking "man, a great channel and I'm late to the party, she probably doenst post anymore" so Imagine my delight to see you are still uploading, its like finding a treasure trove of knowledge delivered in such a clear way, youre awesome!

Did you make a follow up video?

Very helpful!

Thanks, so helpful.

Makes me a lot faster , thank you❤

Tysm!!!

Yes, the explanation I was looking for. May God bless you.

I can't subscribe so remember me

Your videos are exceptional. Really fantastic. So clear in instruction and helpful for all level of dancers . Good clean technique. A true artist and brilliant educated instructor. Your body and lines are aspirational. You remind me of the Louise Brooks quote "if you want to learn how to act look at a dancer, and to dance an actor" You have totally grasped and honed your craft. Hope to see you perform when you are next in production. ❤

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 was so helpful! I loved this move as a kid because it felt so effortlessly graceful but had completely forgotten the name!

Thank you for this helpful information 🩰♥️💙😊

I'm from Brazil and I wanted to thank you for the video and the subtitles. I finally managed to understand my legs. I thought I would need to keep my heels apart in first position. And I also didn't know how to put the patellas up. Once more, thank you!

great tutorial, thanks!

You are a beautiful teacher and dancer. Explaining and demonstrating so clearly with lots of love.

Small but weird tip for anyone with vision problems: I literally HAVE to wear contacts when dancing. Wearing glasses or dancing blind always hurts my head faster. I can last much longer dancing if I'm wearing contacts.

hey, actually how to learn to twist legs more from the hip? sometimes I twist my knees and ankles too much and then I feel pain. yesterday my teacher told me to do tendu to the side, carefully shuffling the outer edge of my foot, and grabbed my thigh, rotating it more with her hands. It is very difficult for me to recreate it with the strength of my muscles, will just strengthening the muscles responsible for the turnout solve my problem? I greet warmly

great post!👍
