Please make more English videos, this is wonderful! I danced ballet until I was 15 and was taught at many schools throughout the US, NO ONE explains these this well!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for the dancers demonstrating! I still watch the French videos but it would be lovely to have more English videos(:
Very nice way to explain the dynamic of grands battements. I would insist more on how to rub on the floor to get there, because it makes the same sensation, it lengthen the legs and it gives the wright energy. A grand battement should start like a battement jeté that gets always bigger and bigger (Avoids the willing to go high and by that move the hips).
Yo. It is really good. I'm an adult with an awful 5th (about 60 degrees turn out). I'm also male. Two questions (1) What would you recommend for arabesque en derrière? For example, I intentionally keep my body up at the cost of lifting the leg about 45 degrees (or so it feels); and (2) is it true that males are typically tighter on the hips? My female mates seem to have more flexibility in this area...
This teacher is too methodical & too verbose - you could just say whilst doing the grand battement kick, keep your head straight end of story. Little said more done let's go :)
