I wish this video was up before I started ballet 9 years ago! XD ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I might be your oldest student, beginning ballet this week at age 68! It is an adult class with differing ages, levels of experience, and physical ability. I am not expecting to be able to do everything others will be able to do, but if I can build strength, limberness, and grace, I will have a good time for awhile! Thank you for this video and for your channel. I will be here often.

I'm trying to be self-taught during quarantine. I love how straight to the point these are while still being informal. Thanks so much!

I’m trying to writing a fanfic involving ballet and this is a perfect reference since I don’t know anything about ballet. It’s interesting to learn all this stuff

It's funny how French speakers and English speakers use different words for the same steps while they're all french words...

Thank you for posting this! I'm an author writing a book that includes some ballet, and as a non-dancer, this video has been incredibly helpful as I try to get some basic terms right for the book!

Auti thank you so much! Your videos are a resource I am using in middle/high school dance classes over the past year. The kids love your energy! They find them easy to follow and informative. While we have been in a virtual space of learning, the students are continuing to grow thanks to great online tools such as your videos. Please continue to share your love and knowledge with us. Your fans in DC appreciate it! 💚 Just wanted to share some love 🥰

from never being a ballet student, I feel like I retained and learned a lot of information in this video. very good :)

[Sofia-wkjp]

I dance hip hop but I'll start ballet in january, wish me luck🙈
Btw thanks for this video!!❤

[wrenk]

The French are screaming.

This is a super helpful video - I’m trying to start ballet (there are limited class options here) and I want to make sure I’m prepared! Thank you! Some videos have tons of these words and never define them so it’s great to have a reference!

[feronia]

i really appreciate this!!! i am so forgetful (and an amateur) and everytime in my class, i always have a hard time remembering everything. thanks! btw, can you recommend a book regarding classical ballet for beginners?

[Kattaccino]

This is literally so validating. Your videos have had me wanting to take up ballet again as an adult and I was humbled SO QUICKLY by catching my reflection in the mirror trying an arabesque and seeing my leg like 2 feet above the ground 🥲

[macirose]

I just started ballet after not doing it for 3 years and I just wanna say, YOU ARE A ANGEL

[nutella]

i learned more in this one video than multiple years of ballet and dance class. really considering getting back into ballet, it gives me a boost of serotonin i never understood

[scorpleeon]

I was told to stop taking lessons in the olden days (70s) when my arches fell so only had a few years of lessons. So fun and informative. Tks!

[thatgenuineperson]

This was exactly what I needed! I stopped doing ballet for 2 years after doing it for 8! I definitely needed a refresher and this was exactly it.

[RakhiMahbuba]

You are absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for uploading a video like this. It was enormously helpful. Good luck with your everything.

[lawriestenhouse]

Absolutely loved this Vlog, I had my very first Ballet lesson last night with Natalie, my eyes were opened to this beautiful creative art! Really enjoyed learning all the different terms for all the moves, for a beginner, it was so hugely valued....thanks you so much!
