Learning online isn't completely impossible- this video I posted about safe lifting teaches how to properly lift and is helpful for Moms who lift their kids at home, too!

Perhaps they can help students remember the vocabulary of ballet and what term goes with what move, but the true training has to come from a studio with a teacher. The body needs to actually feel the move to be able to understand and execute it. The internet may be changing a lot of things but I still also believe that when it comes to dance, you need to experience it first hand!Katie Hopperhttp://567wait.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666293317634014097.post-25331943723773809802009-10-18T12:03:00.884-07:002009-10-18T12:03:00.884-07:00Jean-Pierre thanks for visiting my blog!

For years I was even afraid to practice at home because I might just reinforce incorrect technique. Now I'm starting to learn what can be done safely at home; stretching, tendus, watching dance videos.<br /><br />Sadly, a lot of adult ballet classes are bad news... total lack of technique.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
