You're looking at my adult babies at a FINIS FRIDAY PROMENADE & PIROUETTE workshop in NY on October 25, 2019.

As you can see, most are mature adults - few have ideal ballet bodies - and the majority are late bloomers who've just recently joined my ballet classes at The Ailey Extension.

However, they love to learn and are willing to work hard. I love teaching my babies because they concentrate with all their might, listen to what I say, and do their best to implement my instructions.

Most all started in my Absolute Beginner Ballet Class where they learned the fundamentals of classical ballet technique: Posture, Core Stability, Proper Turnout & Placement, and the Mechanics of Movement.

Now some of these adults are taking my second level Beginner Ballet Class where we always practice different promenades, pirouettes, linking steps, dancing movements, and little jumps in every class.

To promenade en dedans in the attitude position, when turning to the right, they know they must keep their head on the left shoulder and reach out and turn their front arm backward, which turns the body and enables them to pivot the supporting heel forward.

Soon, most will be able to actually perform a pirouette en attitude!

The en dedans pirouette is the most challenging, and even professionals lose their balance in class and onstage. I've broken down all the elements with ABT star Isabella Boylston in my video "Pirouette Class# and with Cheryl Sladkin in "The Art of Teaching Turns". Both are available as DVD or Streaming. These videos are basic to any teacher's library. Get them now at [ Ссылка ]
