CAMBRÉ & CIRCULAR PORT DE BRAS - How to Do a Forward and Back Bend in Ballet | natalie danza

FORWARD BEND (port de bras devant), BACK BEND (cambré derrière) and SIDE BEND (cambré de côté) are all important movements in ballet and are used in combination for a CIRCULAR PORT DE BRAS.
In this video (for beginners) I share some of the things I had to correct in the hope that they will also help you to improve these beautiful but difficult movements in ballet!

    Natalie, I just found your channel! Let me tell you… your tutorials on the basics are worth their weight and gold. I started ballet at 17, and I danced until I was about 25. I’m just going back to it now. I realize now how much I do not know… Because I was not taught. Having you to coach, the small details is making me feel so much more confident, and more self-assured We all want to improve in ballet! Even as adults! Please make more videos! More and more and more! I can’t get enough of the basics and the details. The tiny movements that make ballet look like ballet! ❤

    Love your focus on technique and correct posture. I've seen a few instructions on this, and yours breaks it down into steps and is very clear!

    Thank you so much! I started ballet 3 months ago, and every single time my teacher corrects my cambré, and not until I saw this video do I now know how to do it!! The lifting part you said made a WHOLE difference. 😍👏👍

    What do you mean when you say, “keep your abs engaged?” Because I hear that all the time in any type of dance and I have no idea what to do. Is it like squeezing your abs the entire time you dance? Because then I can’t breathe haha

    Yes, that's exactly what it means. You need to learn to isolate the different regions of your abdominals so you can still engage the lower and mid abdomen while still being able to breathe :)

    Keep your abdominal muscles engaged and don’t go as low in your cambré until you have strengthened your lower back, glutes and abs ☺️

    @@NatalieDanzaBallet My back just doesn't flex like that on the backwards cambré, immediately my head feels heavy and my pelvis tilts forward, I tried doing abs, stretching on the floor planks, I have strong core muscles but still don't find the comfortable position to do it, do you have any advice?
