How to dance ballet for beginners at home

In fact here's

• Dance first, think later. Technique gets better over time if you don’t “box” yourself in.
  
• Dance with a method that helps you discover the potential of your body so you can remove insecurities and limitations you THINK you have.
• Dance to get motivated every day, instead of motivating yourself to dance.

If you can get rid of self-imposed limitations and follow the right path, you can start building the confidence and strength you've been searching for while you dance your heart out!

And this is exactly what I thought years ago,
but after years of teaching live and online I’ve learned that
when people are “not watched”, they dare more and achieve their dreams.

That’s why I created…

Just exactly what you need to enjoy the delight of dancing.

I am a beginner in ballet and this is just the perfect course for me. Ms. Alessia teaches all the terms, the steps so beautifully that I am already in so much love with ballet! Kudos to her! And this is a must course for every ballet enthusiast!!

Alessia was born in Verona - Italy and loved dancing as a form of expression since an early age.

She has 15+ years of professional ballet experience from training at English National Ballet School and the New Zealand school of dance to her successful career as a ballerina for both The Royal New Zealand Ballet and New English Ballet theatre. She also performed in the West End in Cabaret the Musical with Will Young, Phantom of the Opera, and Most Incredible Thing by Petshop Boys at Sadler’s Wells.

But the world of ballet was not always kind. With so many people watching all the time, Alessia struggled with physical and emotional doubts. But overcoming these is what gave her the power to fully understand her own body. It also led her to create programs like this and bring the true joy of ballet to adult dancers at any level.

Alessia is now the co-founder of Lazy Dancer Tips and Lazy Dancer Studio, the most welcoming and inclusive ballet studio online.

I decided to create a beginner ballet course to allow you to make the first step into ballet (no pun intended).

Without the intimidating feeling of being out of place in a ballet class (assuming you have one available where you live).

You’ll be able to dance and practice in full ballet classes with amazing music, getting stronger, more elegant, improving your posture and confidence in you and your dance.

What's included in the Beginner Ballet Course

WEEK 1 - 2 / 

In the first two weeks, you’ll find an amazing new way to move your body purely for joy.

You’ll be able to perform a full ballet class and learn the terminology of every basic step without feeling overwhelmed. Full of easy to understand explanations and demonstrations... Plus tons of laughs!

WEEK 3 / 

We open our minds to a new class and start exploring new combinations and steps, as well as musicality, while making the concepts and pointers memorable. Once learned, you’ll always remember them, instead of constantly being confused about your form while dancing.

WEEK 4 / 

We’ll solidify what’s been learned by mixing practices and start building upon a growing confidence and a rediscovered strength in your body. Movement will become more clear and comfortable and you’ll finally see for yourself that, yes, you can dance.

I absolutely love this course. There is a lot to learn and even if you are already taking classes, working on base movements is very helpful. I especially appreciate that you can choose between longer and shorter classes for the days you don't have an hour to train. A short ballet break is always possible, no excuses anymore :-) Thank you!

How to learn ballet at home

I must say that ballet lessons are becoming more and more popular. Among the fans of the now fashionable Barre workout (training at the barre), there are many stars, including Madonna and Natalie Portman.

And no wonder. Classical exercises at the barre, which are included in the daily training of ballerinas and ballet dancers, harmoniously develop all the muscles of the body, not allowing them to be pumped over, and also improve balance and flexibility. Other bonuses of such activities are perfect posture, beautiful gait and gestures. Moreover, you will receive them very quickly, in a couple of months.

If you don't have the opportunity to study with an instructor in a ballet class, hold ballet lessons at home! All you need for them is a chair.

“Choose it according to the height of the back,” advises Andrey Shiporov , an elite dance program trainer at the World Class fitness club chain. “Your palm should rest on it so that the elbow is at waist level and the forearm is parallel to the floor.” In this case, the palm should lie freely on the back, and the shoulders should be on the same line. The machine can also imitate the back of an armchair or sofa, or a window sill of the required height.”

Before starting the complex, Andrey Shiporov advises to warm up a little: stretch all the joints, stretch, bend and twist.

Demi-plié

Stand next to a chair with your feet in first position, lean on the back of the chair with one hand, move your free hand to the side. Gently lower yourself into a squat, spreading your knees to the sides, until the position in which the hips and shins make a right angle. Also slowly rise to the starting position. Make sure your heels do not come off the floor. Repeat 1 more time .

Grand plie

Start the squat as before, but after pausing in the demi plie, go down even lower. Make sure your back is straight and your knees are out to the sides. Rise in the same way, through the demi-plié. Repeat 1 more time .

Relevé

Stand next to a chair with your feet in first position. Gently rise on your toes, stretching your body up, and just as slowly lower yourself onto your heels. Repeat 4 times.

Tandu Batman

Stand in fifth position, straighten your back. Without lifting your toe off the floor, as if drawing a straight line, bring your right foot forward. Return to the starting position and repeat the leg movement, this time to the side. Stand again in fifth position, but put your working leg behind the supporting one and draw a line across the floor back. Through the starting position, again bring the leg to the side and return to the fifth position. Watch for the eversion of the foot: the toe is extended, the outer part of the foot is tilted to the floor, the inner part looks up, the heel does not touch the floor. Repeat movement 4 times and then do 4 repetitions with the other leg.

Zhete

In this exercise, as in the previous one, the working leg moves in three directions: forward, sideways, back and sideways again. But the sock at the same time comes off the floor every time. The leg is raised to a position in which it will be about 45 degrees with the other. Having done the whole chain of movements, repeat with the other leg.

Rond

Step your right foot forward without lifting your toe off the floor. Smoothly, drawing a semicircle, move it to the side, and then back. Return to starting position, repeat 6 times from each leg.

Fondue

Lower yourself into a demi-plié, bending your supporting left leg and bringing your right toe to her ankle bone. Extending the supporting leg, stretch the right leg forward. Return to starting position. Repeat the movement, moving the right leg to the side, but after that, lower yourself into a demi-plié, bringing the right foot behind the left shin. Straighten the supporting leg, taking the right back. Move to the side again and return to the starting position. Do exercise 4 times from each leg.

Half toe jump forward

Stand in fifth position: right foot in front of the left. Get down in demi-plié and, rising on the half-toes of the supporting left leg, bring the toe of the right leg to the bone of her ankle. Lower your right leg to the toes and return to the starting position. Repeat 6 times on each leg.

Half-toe jump with transition to kudepe back

Perform the same movement, but work with the foot behind the pivot. Repeat 4 times on each leg.

Adagio

Stand in fifth position. Bring your right leg forward, as in a batman tandyu, but then lift it, straight, to parallel with the floor. Return to the fifth position and, through the batman tandyu, raise your leg to the side parallel with the floor. Then do the same movement back, again to the side and return to the starting position. Repeat with the other leg.

Grand Batman

Stand in fifth position: right foot in front of left. Swing forward with your right foot, being careful not to tilt your body back. Do the same swing to the side, back, back to the side and repeat the movement with the other leg.

Do each movement of this complex in one approach : at first it is much more important for you to master the correct technique, and not strive for a large number of repetitions. When you feel confident in the movements, you can do all the movements on the second circle, and then on the third.

Feel like a ballerina!

How to practice ballet for children at home

Ballet for children at home is very useful - daily training allows you to harmoniously develop all the muscles of the body, improve flexibility, maintain perfect posture, beautiful gait and expressive gestures. Even if the child now does not have the opportunity to attend ballet classes, you can do the learned movements at home so as not to lose skills and keep the body in good shape. How to organize classes correctly?

Children do not always want to study at home, finding more interesting things to do. But the more difficult it will be for them to return to "ballet everyday life." The task of parents is to create the right motivation and suitable conditions. Teachers of the dance studio "Irbis" give some advice on this matter:

1. Choose comfortable clothes and shoes. This is very important - the success of classes and the desire of the child depend on the level of comfort. For a home workout, you don’t need a pack, leotards or just sweatpants and a t-shirt will do. Clothing should be made from stretchy fabric. If you have special shoes (pointe shoes), great. No, you can go barefoot. Socks, slippers are not suitable.

2. Find a device that can replace the barre. They can be a simple chair, but suitable in terms of parameters. How to identify them - ask the child to put his hand on the back, and check that the elbow is parallel to the waist, and the forearm is parallel to the floor. The palm on the back should be free, the shoulders should be even. You can use not only a chair as a machine, but also an armchair, sofa, window sill, suitable in height.

3. It is necessary to start the lesson with stretching. If you skip it, then muscle pain is inevitable. Let your child remember how it is done in the ballet class and repeat the exercises. Stretching is undesirable.

4. Together find music that your child likes and evokes positive emotions in him. The main thing is that it should be rhythmic.

Do not be afraid if you do not feel enough perseverance in yourself before starting classes. Everything comes with experience, including willpower and self-discipline. Experienced teachers in the dance section will try to make your path to excellence as easy as possible and protect you from mistakes. The rest is up to you.

Ballet lessons for beginners at home can be found on the Internet, or consult with our studio teachers about this. Those children who have already sufficiently learned the movements shown at school can repeat them. However, these should be simple exercises, since they take place at home, without the supervision of teachers.
