Happy Friday everyone. I've been going through my backlog of videos filmed a while back that I thought might be of use to you in your homes at this time.
When I was in New York I caught up with my old teacher Mary Helen Bowers at Ballet Beautiful, who taught me some moves that I now bring to you! See how I got on...

I am balerina and I love it so much. Ballet is so beautiful.

@MAYK1NG 3 года назад

If you havent had ballet training, you aren't aware that every muscle is continually engaged, aligned and extended while keeping the shoulders, arms and hands soft and it looks easy but I think dancers are literally the most accomplished athletes above and beyond anything else.

@boppob1343 Год назад

Only people who dont work out would watch this and think that looks easy lol

@williamkazak469 Год назад

Wow! This kind of one on one ballet workout would be quite beneficial to anyone and everyone. I am sorry now that I never got involved in any formal training of any kind. I photographed ballet classes. That does not count except for my appreciation of them. I have worked out with weights but never consistently.

Please try these. For real. You have no idea, I won't ever change Ballet Beautiful because this literally builds you a whole new body. It's so weird, it's you, but better, longer. Just in case this is your first time being introduced to this, you should give it a try.
