Ballerina Leg Workout (weightless thigh exercises)

I'm obsessed with how delicate and graceful ballet moves are! I thought.... what if I could channel that into a beautiful Pilates leg workout?! Hope you enjoy!

Song is from the ballet La Esmeralda.

Actually I’m a ballerina and I have been dancing over 14 years! Pilates actually just helps dance in general! It helps strengthen and build new muscles to use! Thank you Pilates!

I do 30 minutes of Pilates in my ballet classes and it has done wonders for my strength and endurance

cassey, we all miss full length videos!! We follow you for your amazing instruction and motivation as we workout alongside you. I really really miss new full length content. Tik tok’s dont give me the motivation to actually DO, i need your positive energy and for you to do it with me to succeed!

Beautiful form! Your extending is very natural, and as a ballerina, it is something I struggle with!

[laviniaboghian]

Nothing compares to a true ballerina, I ve been dancing ballet for 8 years now :)))its not about putting your legs up, its strong ankles, hips, and all that

[amnaghauri]

[juliagabriella]

Those were some very fluid leg lifts. Impressive

[loveshackbella-bg]

Omg thank you so much! I do ballet and I’m 12 I’ve made a goal to become Clara in the Nutcracker so I want to get really strong to prepare so I’ve been needing this!!

[alyssak]

I’m a martial artist not a dancer, but I will be using these to help with my leg strength. It definitely needs work.
