Full BEGINNERS/INTERMEDIATE Ballet Class for a Small Space | FOLLOW ALONG | Nataliya Bondar-Shelest

-------------------------------------------------------------
Free Live Ballet Classes for Adults - Sunday 12pm (NYC time)

This is a classical ballet class for beginner/intermediate adult students. If your fitness/dance studio isn't doing online dance classes during the pandemic, or you're just curious about starting ballet, you're welcome to join this weekly class!

During this difficult time in the world, we all have to do our part to help our communities. This is my way of contributing to the dance community and to all of the dancers out there who can't make it to their studios right now. I hope you're all staying healthy, and holding on. We will get through this together!

Please share this with anyone interested in ballet classes!

-------------------------------- ABOUT THE VIDEO---------------------------
This ballet class was created for beginner/intermediate level ballet students of all ages! I dictate and demonstrate the combinations with my hands and then do them along with the students for both sides (the center and the jumps). Make sure to pay a lot of attention to form and alignment throughout this ballet class. Keeping the back straight, the shoulders down, the hips level and the legs turned out, it is a vital part of this class.

This class was created with a small space in mind and can be done either at home or in the studio. If you're doing this class at home, a chair back or a kitchen counter can be great alternatives for a ballet barre. Thank you for watching, and I hope you have a wonderful ballet class experience!

ABOUT ME | Nataliya Bondar-Shelest
I entered the world of professional ballet at the age of ten, as a student at the Kiev State Ballet Academy. I spent years working as a principal dancer in St. Petersburg and Kharkiv. Throughout my life as a ballerina, I traveled the world with various ballet companies until I found my love of teaching. Over the past 15 years, I've worked as a private ballet teacher and choreographer to both young and adult ballet students in New York and Pennsylvania.

Reach out for more information about private ballet classes in NYC and online through ZOOM.

Such a great class! It feels simple enough to let me finetune my techniques but challenging enough to keep me engaged. Thank you!

[katpaidoussis]

This is amazing and my bank account thanks you!

[stormyntx]

This brings me so much joy, I cannot even begin to explain. I'm in my 50's. I never had the opportunity to do anything about the love I had for ballet, and nobody in my community that shared the same interest or had anything available for a young economically disadvantaged young person, like myself to participate in. My inner child thanks you so much.

[rachelpeters]

Nataliya, I recently decided to get back into ballet after 15 years and this class was a delight to be a part of. Thank you for helping me remember so much of what I have not done in years and helping me get that muscle memory back!

[liannc]

Usually it’s hard for me to follow other YouTube teachers but with you I understood everything clearly. I can feel where my weaknesses are and so now I know what I need improving in, thank you!!

the way she moves her arms are so beautiful, the music too. Thank you for providing us this lesson.

[yurilevin]

Thank you, this was a great class. So calm and precise, and perfect for a novice like me. I wish there were more full beginner/intermediate classes like this one. I will definitely be joining your Saturday and Sunday classes when I can.

[nora]

thank you sm for this class !!! I really loved how you included center combos :)

[rainaashford]

This was a great class. I've been doing a variety of barre/centre classes on YouTube and this was the first one to really make me sweat.

[giardinoninfa]

Your voice is very calming and gentle, perfect for mornings. I will be installing my ballet barre soon but for now I will use a chair. I am training my body so I can be a dancer so this will be perfect for me. I am a beginner but I know with practice I can do it. This helps me so thank you for sharing!

[LouiseZhou]

Your instructions are very clear and I did work out a lot during this class! Thank you so much for providing us the class

[kimberlyashley]

This is an awesome class Nataliya, can you make more beginner intermediate level full class videos? I'm in between levels and It's difficult to find this pace of class. Thank you so much for posting this!! I really appreciate it! ( I am a gymnast and a weightlifter)

Thank you SO much for this class <3 I did ballet from the ages of 18 months until I was 21 and haven't done it in 6 years - this class made me remember how much I love it (and why I used to be so much fitter when I was younger!) x

[annettegenovesi]

Did only part of this (hey I'm 69!) but it really stretched me out and energized me. Thank you kindly.

[jacobmarceau]

the frappe combination is so confusing.
