God forbid you came out of penché to your knee (safe zone 😂) too early! You definitely get used to it and it’s great to build strength!

    @@balletreign I love Paquita. It’s rarely done by Western companies, but I dance mainly with companies associated with the Bolshoi. I love doing the pas de trois (I’ve done a few times), but once I moved up I did many of the variations. The one I’ve done most often is the longest one (2:17 minutes I think). It’s the one that has the entrechat cinqs to arabesques in the beginning, the many double pirouettes from 5th. It’s got it all.

    Let’s remember that gargouillade involves a double rond de jambe en dehors with the first leg and en dedans with the second leg. I was one of many who suggested this step. I came late to the premiere, sorry but so far the turn segment was spot on, except for the piqué en dehors or as we called in Moscow degagé turns - for some reason they’re easy for me. Also, I wanted you guys to show some love to us leftys. I had to learn to turn to the right as well, which made me even, so I’m grateful. However, I do get annoyed when ballerinas either butcher or modify choreography or do a single left turn instead of a double. Examples: Diana et Acteon female variation, Giselle first act variation… also don’t whine if you have to do piqué en dehors/degagê turns to the left in the coda of let’s say fairies of Sleeping Beauty or Paquita soloists coda.

    I feel like Gargouillade is the universally hated step by all ballet dancers. It's just a hard step and the pay off for them is not that high as it doesn't look that impressive or graceful even when done well. I do however love Brise Vole. They are just so fun to do but I agree that they are difficult and I am always winded after doing a whole sequence from upstage to downstage. They however are worth the pay off IMO. Great video though, agreed with all your takes! Would love to see a video of your favourite steps to do in class or perform.

    I'm a fusion bellydancer and I have DEEP respect for those who study and practice ballet. The absolute muscle control, flexibility, and technique is insane. I tried it as a child, but I definitely did not have the body (thank you 90s body standards...) and I didn't quite have the feet either. However, I do love when those I dance with who DO have a great deal of ballet training incorporate some ballet moves in our choreographies. 'Tis the beauty of fusion. Thank you for giving us insight into your world of dance. I, as a dancer of a different genre (and who also has her own list of most difficult moves for my style of dance), appreciate it. :)

    Very Nice! As for the Secret of the vertical balance in all those transitional - turning and promenade moves, particularly in a la second position, my wonderful Ballet teacher would point to the counterbalancing, adjusting shift of the Pelvis - ever slightly moving to the opposite direction of the elevated leg, by millimiters sometimes, finding a new, adjusted simmetrical line of balance - in each however little changed position. And that what is hard in all these turning one-leg pas - to achieve polished finess in transition, Smooth Confidence in Moment - in these minimal but crucial, conscious shifts of balance, while having strength, stamina - and Grace! - for the continuous extention of the entire body to the maximum, in each new fleeting shift... All That - in the span of few seconds. I love Ballet :)

I remember practicing brisé volé on both sides over and over again and now I cannot do a brisé without thinking about that variation anymore. Also about a month and a half before the competition, I was fresh from recovering from a knee dislocation. So the whole time I was doing the brisés, all I was thinking was “just don’t obliterate your left knee k thanks”

    1) Will you do you top 10 fav steps in ballet? 2) In skating there are people who turn better one way vs the other. I assume this is the same with ballet. I also know choreography tends to be so well known in ballets that productions don't vary the steps too much. So my question is, do people who turn better in the minority direction, are they usually forced to turn the other way or are there productions that will accomodate and almost mirror the choreography? I hope this question makes sense.

    as a left turner, generally speaking we're forced to do right turns. If it's a solo piece the choreography might be changed slightly so you can turn to the left (like adding an extra step) but usually not, and they most certainly wouldn't flip the entire thing. As annoying as it is to never turn on your better side, most left turners are more balanced turners because of it.

  • @balletreign

    CardamonRadio said it best! Generally, lefties are required to turn to the right as choreography demands. but for solos, sometimes the choreography can be mildly adjusted for the dancer to play to his/her strong side. It is desirable to be ambidextrous in all things, though!

    hi Ladies, thank you for your effort (I'm catching up...) really enjoying so much french words in a video 😄(btw cannot understand the use of the word "promenade" with means "walk" as in "taking a walk") would it be possible to have a little more of each ballerina - I know you are struggling with copyright but just a few seconds more if possible and also have the name of the ballet and the name of the dancer appear on the screen so we can check and search on the net you really help me discover ballet, you are funny and charming, keep on the good work !!

    Question- I was a gymnast and typically gymnasts have a stronger and more flexible side and simply train that side and lean into skills and twist to that side. I was a lefty as a gymnast. We also turn to our outside on that leading leg typically.I never had to learn to do anything toward my weaker side or twist right….as it is very disorienting when flipping and trying to twist to a side you’re not comfortable with. Do all ballerinas simply have to learn to turn both ways and leap both ways for the sake of consistent choreography and keeping in unison with others? Or…say you’re doing a solo piece…can you choose your better side and turning direction? I’ve always wondered about this. Would love to learn more.

    Great question. For dancers the goal is to be ambidextrous and be able to turn, jump, balance, etc equally on both sides. However, most classical ballet repertoire is most typically set to the right. Lefties often have to adapt to fit the right-favoring choreography, but for solos, some are allowed to play to their dominant side. Hopefully this makes sense!

    The fouettés you mentioned as being “Russian” are in fact not Russian. RUSSIAN FOUETTES are when you open DIRECTLY to the side and immediately close back to passé. My teacher is russian and studied at Vagonova and this is what she told us.

    I have never understood the point of gargouilade. To me, it's the one ballet step that doesn't look or feel graceful and elegant. My teacher tried to teach us gargouilade once, and my whole class went "Please never make us do this terrible, horrible, awful step ever again". I also feel like my feet turn into flopping fish when I attempt the gargouilade.
