Yeah, but to account for that, she needs to pull up more. She is a pretty good dancer, a lot better than other “Expert” Village people, and I’m incredibly jealous of her hyperextension and her feet, but it’s very important to get it right when you’re teaching.
It’s not ‘tondu’, it’s TENDU.
It’s Tendu, not Tondu.
She uses her head when she tendu’s(is that a word?
) front and back, but not to the side. this is logged as intermediate, but I’m intermediate-advanced and that’s one of the FIRST things I learned when I was just plain intermediate.
OMG, I swear, there is not a single expert in expert village. first of all, she spelled tendu wrong, she hasn’t the body for ballet, not to mention her technique. horrible video.
How can you say she haven’t got the body for ballet? You don’t need to look like an anorexia girl just to dance ballet. All of sudden everyone has to be as thin as sticks? She has a perfectly fine body, and I bet she thinks so herself too.
haha I’m a HipHop dancer and even I, know that it’s a TEndu …
you are good, but I can give you an advice:
kepp your knees straightend and dont turn out your hips too much!
greetings =)
when you tendu to the side your head is supposed to be centered straight a head of you.
when she says “bring your arm to the side” she should says “bring your arm to second”
It doesn’t really matter that she spelled tendu wrong, I always spell words in ballet the way they sound (such as develope, enveloppe, tondu, plea and such) because I have no idea how to spell them right and also so that people I’m talking to will be able to take a good guess at how it’s supposed to sound when you say it.
when she does the 8 tendu’s to second, she doesn’t go all the way back to first before she does the next tendu.
She is a pretty good dancer, but her knees release too easily. She may be very flexible but she needs to improve her technique.
Hun im 13 let pretend im your teacher…… when you tendu to the front go out with your heel then pointe your toe (turnout), dont rock back and forth when tenduing (dont bend standing leg) i see that you have hyperextended knees to help try pulling up! and dont lean over you standing leg so much……………. and also “expert village” try and hire someone who actually takes ballet next time this girl sucks!
her arm is too high when she goes into 1st position, her hand when her arm goes into 5th position is atrotious and dont even get me started on her turnout, if the R.A.D saw this video they would flip, its so bad seeing someone of her age trying to preform a simple ballet study and failing so well, expert village please stop offending ballerinas and actually get a qualified ballet teacher or a real ballerina to show people what ballet actualy looks like please.
im sorry but her arms are SO bad they irriate me soooooo much!!!
you turn out your hips! haaaaaaaaaaa
she is fatt!!!
yeah she needs to turnout her right heal! HAHAHA
The only reason people are cirticising this dancer is cause they know this lady could give them some competition. People tend to insult those that are competition.
she needs to fix her arms and stretch her knees when she brings her foot in from her tondu. She keeps bending it
actually no, she’s just not very good. But congratulations on sounding like an idiot.
She is good , but I have experinence of Ballet and she keeps bendind which is not good if she goes in conpotition
I mean at least she is trying
but she is releasing her hips when she tendu’s to the back… that shows really bad technique when your inner muscles aren’t strong enough to even do that….
In the Tondus: She releases her hips and her arm is too high and on the eight to the side she crosses her arm too much…
“Tondu” means “clipped” (shaven).
“Todus” means nothing at all. If you turned the first letter into a “d” it would mean fat.
Stop slaughtering ballet, and my language too.
And if you’re going to do it, please stoip doing it with that self-satisfied, patronizing, know-it-all better than others look.
You make me want to smash your face.
