Hey there. I'm Elizabeth, and I am a wife,mom,teacher,dancer and life long learner! I joined the ballet world somewhat late at the age of 14, but I fell hard and haven't looked back. I dedicated a lot of time and energy to catching up and was able to dance pro for a couple of years before I started teaching and having my little ones. I don't know everything but I love to share what I know and I am always eager to learn more. Join me for videos about all things ballet,health and enjoying life. Ultimately, that's the Whole Pointe!

❤ I really enjoyed how you added to Desiree’s concepts thoughtfully as to be supportive. It felt like a step by step process that built up slowly enough for there to be strong connections as well as pockets where there is still potential to discover and further self-explore for the client. ❤🔥
oh I'm so glad! For sure, it may be a minute as I haven't filmed in the studio for awhile but I can give you some tips. Tell me more about this trouble balancing, like while going around or as you're coming out of it into the landing?
@@TheWholePointe Thank you! It’s when I’m going around, I lose my balance. And I can’t get enough momentum to go more than one round. If I want to go more than one round, I have to try to swing myself and that obviously doesn’t work. Is there a way to add some force into the 2nd or 3rd turns?
it's actually spelled: "En Dehors" and "En Dedans". Thanks for the tips, I was trying to learn this today in ballet class and it seemed like it was the same in both directions, but now I see it is not
you are so right! I've learned more and more every year, including proper spelling! You should see my old ballet notebooks spelling everything phonetically! I'm glad you found this helpful, thank you for your kind comment!
These always seem the wrong way 'round to me. Devant is front-side-front with the foot that does the swish. Derriere is back-side-back. To me a pas de bourree over should mean bringing the starting foot to the front (back-side-front) and under should mean front-side-back. Do you have any explanation as to why the rules would change front devant and derriere to over and under? My ballet teacher has been teaching longer than I've been alive and I've always believed she has the over and under thing wrong, but seeing someone else doing it the same as her means it's obviously the done way.
hmmm I really don't but I love this comment because it is making me think in a way I hadn't. I may bring this question to my IG audience and see what people say, thanks for taking the time to comment.
