Ilya Kuznetsov, ballet teacher, tells about 8 common mistakes in ballet posture and how to correct them easily. This video will be useful for those who start learning classical dance and for those teaching ballet for adults.
Hi, my name is Ilya Kuznetsov and I will tell you about the most frequent mistakes in ballet posture and how to correct them.
0:16 Mistake #1: No turn out in the legs. How to correct it? Stand in sixth, heels and toes together, trying to get your calves closer to each other, tuck your buttocks under to the bones. Now you have a turnout. It’s enough to correct this mistake.
00:34 Mistake #2 is rolling your feet forward on the big toes. How to fix this mistake? Don't try to widen the toes too much to the side.
00:45 Mistake #3: Sag knees. Try to pull the knee muscles up and to the side.
00:54 Mistake #4: Weak and loose buttocks. When you start dancing any classical dance, don’t forget to tuck you buttocks under to the bones.
01:04 Mistake #5: Weak core. To correct this mistake, always keep your stomach muscles engaged.
01:14 Mistake #6: Sluggish top of the body. To make it look smooth, do the following exercise. Put your fingers on your shoulders with the wrists to the side, let your elbows see the floor loosely. Now roll the elbow to the front and feel your shoulder blades ‘tucked in’ the body a bit more than in a casual posture.
01:36 Mistake #7: Stiff and shortened back of the neck. It becomes apparent when students bend their bodies forward stretching chin and neck, while the back of the neck should always elongate. How to fix this mistake? Tuck your chin in a bit. Feel your back of the head extending upwards.
02:05 Mistake #8, the last one: when a student can't balance the heaviest part - the hips - and thus has a false balance in the axis. Try to replace your weight from the heels to the toes.
