Thank you for this
For me, an adult ballet class enthusiast with way more determination than talent, this is a perfect way how to learn and practice at home between classes 😅 so thank you so much!

I'm so happy you like the beginner variations! Thanks for watching :)
I love that you're doing this channel! Your instructions are so clear, and I actually searched for videos like this months ago when I started pointe and wanted some beginner choreo to practice on my own. It would be so awesome to see the whole variation with music before you get into breaking down the steps. I think it'd be helpful for anyone trying to figure out which one they want to learn as well as to get a sense of the overall timing/music. Or maybe even a time stamp in the description where we can watch the whole thing!

Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I think it's a great idea to include the time in the description so if people would like to see the full variation first, they know where to go! I've included that in both video descriptions now! Thanks so much for the suggestion and best of luck with your ballet! :)

I’m using this dance as an audition piece for swan lake 😊
I've been learning ballet for 4 and a half years, and from the first pirouette turn to arabesque, I realized once again that I'm a total beginner! (That's why I love ballet very much 😂lol) Thanks a lot for a great choreography! 😍
I love these variation videos. Thank you so very much! You've really inspired me to dance at home and I'm really having fun with the variations, which make all the less fun barre work worth it! Please keep doing them if you can and take care during this time!

Hi Pauline! Something that really helped me with italian fouettés is thinking about the supporting leg and pushing that heel round to help get the rotation and also maintain turnout and stability. Also coordinating the arms and head helped me a lot. But italian fouettes are difficult!!! good luck with the variation! :)

Are you real ?
Can you specify which from the Swan Lake music this is?
Natalie... I'm desperate to find the music. I'm a rather large and menacing looking firefighter. And I'm performing this dance at a gala in one week. It's to get voted in for the firefighter calendar for my department. I'm performing it in a Tutu and shirtless, in front of 450 women. I can not find this particular piece of music. If you could even tell me what act this song is from, it would be a huge help. A Spotify link would be even more ideal. I promise I will post my performance once done. EDIT: Found it in the comments. But TY for this. Been practicing for a month with a former pro ballerina. I'm still really, really bad. But will still post!
