I love ballerina moves. They look so graceful and strong. I think these moves can be applied as daily exercises to keep ordinary women strong and graceful and not bulky looking.

The head is NOT actually the heaviest part of the body (the torso is; maybe for an infant and a toddler but not for older children; in fact life jackets for kids under 90 pounds / 40 kilos are designed differently from life preservers for adults to prevent children from floating face forward / face down in the water due to their top heaviness when immersed in water ). Just trying to interpret and reconcile the meaning of the statement made in terms of what athletics (sport science) and ergonomic science tell us, beyond mere anatomy and physiology. (Try supporting a relaxed head; then try supporting a torso - while the limbs and head are being supported by others. Which is heavier?) Explanation: The head weight relative to the rest of a child’s body mass is such that their centre of gravity (C of G) is a bit higher up in the chest as compared to an adult, in terms of relative proportions. Adult C of G is near the navel (belly button; which is why ballet dancers really need to know how to engage their core of effectively; it’s critical. It’s where the qi (chee) originates in Asian wushu (martial arts). So a child ‘plank’ will lose their balance (unstable equilibrium) leaning forward SOONER (smaller angle of anterior tilt) than will a planking adult with a lower centre of gravity and greater torso mass relative to the adult head mass. It’s not the mere weight (heaviness) of the head but rather the relative mass compared to the rest of one’s body mass, let’s be clear. A giraffe is quite the opposite: tiny high head perched on a long neck that’s attached to a comparatively huge body that’s solid like a military tank - that’s supported by four slender, long legs - so won’t fall out of a 3rd story window when it stretches its head forward. It’s C of G is way lower than its head. I’ve always found accelerated head turning exercise drills useful for better spotting; in ballet we train the arm and the leg-hip muscles intensively (for good reason) yet never have I encountered training of the neck (apart from flexibility exercises). It’s neglected. Cecchetti head carriage training is also admirable for some.

You have Beautiful movement. I love the explanation. You’re SO FULL OF INFORMATION! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MY BODY WANTS TO MOVE SOONER AND ITS HARD TO WAIT THROUGH THR INSTRUCTION. I guess I’m just not used to it! But the instruction is very valuable. I wish I could remember combinations. At 53, my mind can’t hold into what you’re asking my body to do. I suppose I just need to repeat the classes again to learn the combos by heart. Thank you!

The natural relationship between the head, neck and back gives rise to the person's balance and integrated coordination (Frederik Matthias Alexander).

Wow I didn't realize how crucial the head position is in Vaganova. Next time I follow the online course in ballet that I purchased I'll be very mindful of this.

This is a very calming class that helped me feel confident in the micro-movements of my body without getting frustrated. I really want you guys to hear that the most important thing for “adult beginners” or even “adult intermediate beginners“… We need the steps to be called out at every step of the way. My memory as an adult cannot hold combinations, and I find that I’m fighting my memory the entire time instead of focusing on the technique. I hope that you guys will continue to announce and call out each step as it is coming, so that I can be prepared for what comes next and engage my muscles accordingly. A lot of adults have trouble with memory. Especially if we haven’t been dancing our whole lives. We’re just not used to it. Saying “one, two, three, four” isn’t helpful. What is so helpful is when you guys stay on top of calling out the movements before they happen. Thank you for that when you remember to do it! I’m sure it is extremely difficult to teach a ballet class! So much to think about! I want to learn from your staff very much!

Omg 😂 I mean... Hehe. It has entertainment value and seems to be cramming great moments into a short period of time... Is that how the Gen Z usually operate? It's endearing. As an older millenial born 1988, I was left wanting to know the in depth details of the moments... Wishing it wasn't so truncated...hehe...i guess this is like some kind of teaser 😅. Was definitely teased and kept wanting more, for sure!

Physics science will say that energy is required / consumed or expended / in order to cause acceleration into the rotational spinning. To spin a top, for example, one has to first input energy. The result is an increasing rate of rotation i.e. rising speed (aka acceleration). The turning body will then decelerate (slowing of the rate of rotation or speed) due to friction with the floor which resists or counters turning. Spinning speed, which is a rate, is often specified in revolutions per minute (RPM). Greater initial input energy is needed for a double vs a single, a triple vs a double, a quad vs a triple. One pliers to prep; then as one retirers one exerts energy to create a torque force which drives the spinning - the more energy added, the higher the rate of spin (the spin speed); and the more turns. So energy input or expenditure on the way up gives rise to the speed of the turn, not the converse.
