A
Hi
everybody,
it's
good
to
see
you
again,
even
though
we
can't
be
on
a
live
soom
together
today,
I'm
making
this
one-hour
video
so
that
we
can
dance
ballet
together
today.
So
what
I'm
going
to
be
doing
with
the
help
of
my
cat,
George
Jones
is
I'm
going
to
lead
you
through
basic.
A
Okay,
so
this
first
one
that
I'm
gonna
show
you
today
is
a
little
bit
of
a
foot
warm-up
know.
One
of
the
most
important
things
for
a
ballerina
to
do
is
to
learn
how
to
have
really
stretchy
strongpoint
feet.
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna
start
off
with
a
little
bit
of
a
foot
warm-up
so
to
do
that
mm
I'm
gonna,
bring
you
over
here
and
I'm.
Gonna
sit
you
down
so
that
you
can
see
my
feet
and
we
can
do
this
together.
Okay,
I
can
kind
of
see
you
in
my
camera
as
well.
A
So
what
we're
gonna
do
is
we're
gonna,
start
strengthening
and
stretching
our
feet,
and
the
first
thing
that
I'm
gonna
do
is
in
parallel
feet.
So
I
squeeze
my
toes
together
and
I
squeeze
my
heels
together.
Okay,
so
we're
gonna
walk
it
out
kind
of
like
we're,
walking
up
a
hill
and
we're
gonna.
Do
it
eight
times
so
I'm
gonna
go
way
up
on
my
toes
one,
two,
three
four
five,
six
eight
laughter
I
do
eight
then
I
switch
again.
A
Then
they
go
one
I'm
gonna
go
all
the
way
over
to
my
toes
and
stretch
my
arch
and
then
I
go
back
high
high
high
on
my
toes
and
well.
I
might
he'll
go
down
and
then
the
other
foot
we're
gonna,
do
the
same
thing.
He'll
stretch
over
the
toes
and
then
on
the
balls
of
my
feet
again
and
then
let
my
heels
go
down.
Then
that
way,
I'm
gonna
move
my
foot
apart,
so
that
I'm
making
a
V
with
my
feet.
My
heels
go
together.
C
A
A
Back
to
get
okay,
I'm
gonna
bring
you
back
up
here
so
that
we
can
see
each
other
I'm
gonna,
stop
my
music
and
I'm
gonna.
Keep
going
to
our
next
exercise
so
make
sure.
Okay,
thank
you
can
see
me
from
it.
Okay.
So
the
next
thing
that
we
do
in
our
ballet
warm
up
in
our
belly
exercises.
It's
called
plie
plie
is
when
we
go
in
our
all
of
our
positions.
This
is
first
position.
This
is
second
position.
A
C
A
B
A
Plie,
six
and
back
up
seven
and
then
push
that
foot
across
the
floor
to
second
position.
We
do
the
same
thing
to
Demi,
plie,
Demi
and
straighten
and
Demi
plie
and
straighten,
and
then
we
made
a
big
old
grand
plie
one
and
two
and
all
the
way
up.
Three
and
four
we're
gonna
tiny,
we're
going
to
slide
the
heel
across
all
the
way
to
fifth
position,
one
more
time:
Demi
and
straighten
and
Danny,
and
straighten
big
grand
plie
one
and
A.
Two
and
back
up
three.
Our
heels
go
down
to
the
floor.
A
A
A
Mr.
George
Jones
likes
that
too,
or
it
can
point
point
point
it
right
behind
me,
and
sometimes
that
feels
the
weirdest,
because
we're
really
trying
to
balance
and
stand
on
one
leg,
even
when
our
leg
is
behind
us
and
that's
very
hard,
sometimes
so,
if
you're
wobbling
around
a
little
bit
make
sense.
Okay,
so
here's.
A
D
D
Balance
balance
Tania
close
and
then
let's
take
our
arms
up
and
out
and.
B
A
Close
okay,
so
I'll
show
you
on
the
other
foot
to
be
brush
debuging
and
close
okay,
so
a
little
mat
for
everybody.
Okay,
we're
gonna,
start
doing
eight
on
one
side,
daggers
a
one
and
A
two
and
A
three
and
four
and
five
and
six
and
seven
and
eight
other
foot
eight
times
and
oh
1
and
a
2
dagger.
A
3
day
gives
you
4
dead
against
a
5
daggers
a
six
day
goes:
j7
daggers,
j8,
okay,
so
we
just
did
8
on
one
side
and
8
on
the
other.
A
A
Now
guess
what
we're
gonna
have
that
again
and
only
do
two
now
so
two
on
one
side
and
a
one
and
A
two
other
side
and
a
one
and
A
two,
then
we
get
to
do
singles
only
one.
So
one
one
do
it
again
and
one
and
one
plie
and
stretch
to
finish:
okay,
so
eight
on
one
side,
eight
on
the
other,
then
4
4,
2,
2,
1,
1,
1
1
finish
with
a
clear,
very
easy
for
everybody.
Who
knows
how
to
count
to
eight
pretty
easy.
You
can
do
it!
Okay.
Here
we
go.
A
A
C
A
A
Okay,
circling
the
leg
round,
a
shell
looks
like
this:
I'm
gonna
get
my
clam
bar
back
out:
okay,
I'm,
going
to
show
you
what
it
looks
like
on
the
right
side,
so
I
take
my
arm
out
to
the
side
and
then
brush
my
foot
front
and
then
I
made
a
big
circle
all
the
way
to
the
back
and
then
I
close
back
to
first.
So
that's
a
Ronda
John's
circling
the
leg.
Okay!
A
So
let's
do
that
four
times
we're
gonna
go
one
and
round
and
close
and
chew,
and
around
and
close
again
three
and
are
round
and
close
and
four
and
around
and
close.
Now.
This
is
where
and
very
very
happy
that
I
have
my
bar,
so
I
won't
wobble
or
fall
over
the
place
and
then
I
do
a
big
circle
of
my
leg
like
that,
but
I'm
gonna.
A
Do
it
high
up
in
the
air
so
I'm,
gonna,
brush
high
and
then
to
the
side
and
then
to
the
back
when
I
get
my
arm
to
the
back,
I'm
gonna
make
my
arm
long
and
then
I'm
gonna
stick
my
other
finger
right
in
front
of
me
in
front
of
my
nose
and
that's
called
arabesque
I
know
when
I'm
done,
I'm,
gonna,
close
and
I'm
gonna
clean
and
then
guess
what
we
get
to
do
the
other
side
right
away.
Okay,
so
let
me
start
our
music
okay.
This
is
for
Rhonda's,
which
means
Circle
the.
A
A
I'll
be
ready
to
run
three
round
a
shop
and
Rondo
won
big
in
the
air.
I
would
carry
it
all
the
way
son
then
it
goes
all
the
way
to
the
back
then
long,
arms
and
then
let
go
of
your
hand
on
the
bar
see.
If
you
can
balance,
one
are
long
in.
A
That's
a
hard
one,
it's
hard
to
balance
on
one
leg
like
that,
but
you
guys
did
great
okay,
guys
I'm
going
through
our
exercises
pretty
quickly,
and
it's
because
you
guys
are
so
smart
and
I
know
that
you
can
figure
it
out.
And
you
know
what,
if
you
want
to
watch
this
a
million
times,
you
can
always
rewind
and
go
back
and
learn
the
names
even
better
and
practice
your
Rhonda
Johnson
your
tondee's
as
many
times
as
you
want
yeah.
A
D
Say
that's
a
very
good
question
and.
D
A
C
A
My
toes
are
facing
opposite
I,
guess
what,
when
I'm
to
the
side,
what
I
try
to
do
really
hard?
Instead
of
going
really
Archie
and
sticking
my
cat
tail
out,
ok
I
want
to
stick
my
cat
down
so
I'm,
nice
and
tall,
and
my
spine
gets
really
really
long.
Okay,
so
long
spine,
long
cat
tail
straight
to
the
floor
and
my
heel
is
right
on
my
toe.
This
is
fifth
position
cross
of
those
guys.
Okay
on
to
the
more
important
business
we
have
that
position,
no
I'm
gonna.
Take
that
front.
A
Knee
I'm
gonna
make
like
a
letter
for
I'm
gonna
point
my
toe
right
on
my
ankle,
and
this
is
called
Kupe
okay,
so
we
have
coupe
a,
but
I
also
mentioned.
The
word
passe
now
pass
a
is
when
I
take
this
foot
and
I
draw
it
up
to
my
knee
and
my
knee
is
out
to
the
side
making
the
letter
for
it.
Okay.
So
this
is
the
difference.
Coupe
a
passe
coupe,
a
passe,
say
with
me
one
more
time:
coupe
a
passe,
and
then
we
can
go
all
the
way
back
down
to
fit.
B
A
Other
heel
in
front
that
way
we
can
practice
our
coupe
a
in
our
passe
with
the
other
foot.
Okay,
so
you
can
keep
your
hands
on
your
hips.
If
you
want
so
take
this
front
foot
up
and
make
the
number
four
or
the
letter
P,
it
kind
of
looks
like
the
letter
P
two
you're
going
to
point
your
toe
on
to
your
ankle
and
we
have
coupang
everybody
remember
what
this
one
is
passe,
so
we're
back
down
and
we
have
coupe
a
then
passe
coupe,
a
passe.
D
A
As
we
do
this,
you
guys
what
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
do
is
hold
on
to
your
bar,
okay
or
the
back
of
your
chair
or
whatever
you're
choosing
to
use
right
now.
Okay,
so
that
you
know
wibble
wobble
around,
because
that's
gonna
hold
on
to
my
bar.
Alright,
so
first
put
your
hands
on
your
hips,
then
I'm
gonna
take
my
front
heel,
my
right
heel
in
front
and
put
it
right
on
my
there,
so
I'm
in
fifth
position
with
my
legs
crossed
I'm,
going
to
start
my
music
and
we'll
go
through
it
together.
A
A
A
C
A
D
A
C
A
A
You
guys
so
the
next
thing
that
we're
gonna
learn
now
that
we
know
our
COO
pays
and
our
Casas
okay,
and
we
have
to
know
our
who
pays
in
our
phosphates
to
do
this
next
thing.
It's
one
of
my
most
favorite
things
in
ballet.
It's
called
a
develop
a
or
a
develope.
Some
people
say
definitely.
Instead,
it's
develope.
B
A
That's
called
develop
a
it
means
to
develop
so
you're
developing
you're,
like
we're
learning
lots
of
French
today
right.
So
we
do
it
again,
but
this
time
we're
gonna
go
to
the
side,
so
we're
gonna
go
arm
down.
Coupe
bay
arm
up
passe,
and
if
you
could
see
me
from
the
side,
you
can
see
that
my
leg
is
nice
and
turned
out
all
the
way
to
the
side.
Cuz
I'm
using
my
rotation,
my
rotate
muscles.
So.
A
A
Stick
my
arms
straight
out
in
front
of
me
as
I,
develop
hey
my
leg
to
the
back
arabesque
you've
seen
that
one
before
when
I
joined
you
and
then
I
close
guess
what
it's
time
for
the
other
flag
now
so
I'm
gonna
start
my
develop
a
or
develop
a
music
and
I'm
gonna
start
with
whichever
leg
you
want
it
doesn't
matter.
Does.
A
Arm
down
cuvee,
no,
this
time
we're
going
to
go
to
the
back
for
our
arabesque
I'm,
a
passe
I'm
straight
out
in
front
as
we
era
guys
tendu
and
close
ready
other
leg.
Here
we
go
arms
down.
Coupe
a
arms
up,
passe
arms
up
front,
develop
a
Tod.
You
close
now
we're
going
to
go
to
the
side,
arms
down,
qk
firms,
up
passe
arms
out,
definitely
and
tendu
close
now
I'll
find
a
one.
We
go
to
the
back
arms
down,
Roubaix
arms
up
passe.
Here
we
go.
A
Good
job
now
you
guys
are
doing
really
really
good.
I
know
what
you
must
be
thinking.
Oh
my
goodness,
there's
so
many
exercises
that
a
ballerina
does
you're
right.
They
do
so
many
exercises
and
it
can
get
a
little
tiring.
It
can.
Ballerinas
are
some
of
the
strongest
folks
in
the
world,
so
they
get
really
really
strong
legs
and
they
also
get
really
stretchy
legs
yeah.
So
we're
gonna
do
one
more
exercise
with
our
bar
here
then
I'm
going
to
show
you
some
stretches
that
ballerinas
might
do.
Okay.
A
So
last
thing
remember:
we've
learned
first
position
and
I'm
going
to
take
my
arm
up.
This
is
called
a
grande
bach
ma,
which
means
big
beat
of
the
legs.
Okay,
so
look
around
me
and
make
sure
that
I'm
not
gonna.
Kick
anything
you
better.
Do
that
to
make
sure
look
in
front
of
you.
Are
you
gonna?
Kick
anything
look
to
your
side?
Okay,
I'm!
Not
gonna!
Take
anything!
Look
behind
you!
Are
you
gonna,
kick
anything
if
you're
not
gonna,
kick
anything
you're
good!
If
you,
if
there's
something
close,
scootch
a
little,
far
away
from
stuff?
A
A
E
A
That
you
flew
me
and
finish
with
our
arms
down
below,
because
that's
how
always
how
we
end
every
day?
Okay,
so
let
me
put
my
bar
on
my
other
side:
cuz
I'm
gonna
start
with
my
other
like
and
I'm
gonna
start
my
ground,
but
my
music
okay
grind,
but
mom
means
big
kick.
Let's
do
it
burn
up
check
around
1,
&,
2
2
to
the
side.
Here
we
go
1
&.
A
D
C
A
A
So
you
can
see
my
big
arch
bone
because
I'm
pointing
my
feet
really
hard
and
then
I
want
to
flex
my
feet
really
really
hard.
So
I
can
stretch
those
ankles
and
then
I'm
gonna
pull
my
feet
really
really
hard
and
then
I'm
gonna
flex.
My
feet
really
really
hard.
Now
you
guys
might
be
wondering
what
is
she
having
her
feet?
A
This
is
a
ballet
shoe,
it's
very,
very
comfy,
it's
kind
of
like
it's
a
kind
of
like
a
bedroom,
slipper
and
a
sock
put
together,
and
it's
very,
very
kind
of
like
comfortable
and
tight
on
my
feet,
and
that
makes
it
really
easy
to
wiggle
my
toes
okay,
so
mm-hmm
here
me
up
here
and
you
can
see
my
face.
Okay,
the
first
stretch
that
we're
gonna
do
together.
A
Can
you
see
my
pretty
cat
in
the
back
too
he's
gonna
do
stretches
with
us.
You
can
tell
he's
stretching
out
his
foam
sleeping
muscles.
Okay,
so
the
first
stretch
we're
gonna
do
is
called
butterfly
where
I
take
my
feet,
my
toes
and
put
them
together
and
put
my
heels
together.
So
that's
a
butterfly
okay.
A
Now,
once
we're
in
butterfly,
we
need
to
grab
our
ankles
we're
gonna,
try
push
our
knees
all
the
way
to
the
ground,
but
if
you
can't
it's
okay,
if
your
knees
are
up,
here's
okay,
but
I'm,
just
really
flexible,
because
I
have
practiced
and
stretched
a
lot
ever
since
I
was
your
age.
So
that's
why
I
can
stretch
a
little
bit
more.
Okay,.
D
A
A
D
A
Then
dip
down
put
our
nose
to
our
toes
and
then
come
on
up
good
now
from
here.
Here's
the
next
really
great
stretch
that
we're
gonna
do
out
from
our
our
butterfly
position.
Once
you
take
one
knee
one
knee
and
pull
it
up
and
give
it
a
big
ol
hug.
Okay,
now
this
one
is
a
little
bit
more
difficult,
so
I
know
that
you
can
do
it.
We're
gonna
grab.
C
A
A
A
B
A
C
D
A
Goodness
Oh
we're
gonna
stretch
those
legs
out,
shake
my
shake
shake
shake!
You
see,
you
shake
your
arms
too
bit.
That's
good!
Okay,
next
stretch
here
we
go
so
from
here
from
butterfly
position.
We're
gonna,
take
our
legs
out
into
a
straddle.
Okay,
sit
up
nice
and
tall
by
the
way
it
doesn't
matter.
If
you
have
your
feet
flexed
or
pointed
yeah,
either
way
just
relax,
we're
gonna
do
a
nice
little
straddle
instead,.
A
D
A
Couple
more
stretches
and
we'll
be
done:
we
can
stand
back
up.
Okay,
so
from
here
I'm
gonna
sink
my
legs
behind
me.
I'm
gonna
lay
all
the
way
down
on
my
tummy
put
your
hands
up
underneath
your
shoulders
and
kind
of
like
aerial
on
the
rock
we're
gonna
push
up
up
up
up
up.
This
is
called
the
Cobra
stretch,
so
it
stretches
our
back
and
makes
us
from.
A
A
Then
touch
the
ground
if
we
can,
if
you're
up
here,
it's
okay,
just
do
your
best
bend
your
knees,
make
a
great
big
ol
ball.
Then
we're
gonna
roll
up
like
a
fruit
roll-up.
Well
the
way,
oh,
my
goodness,
what
a
good
stretch
I
always
feel
so
much
better.
After
a
stretch,
you
guys
did
great
okay,
you
guys,
so
we
have
about
20
more
minutes,
but
before
we
do
our
set
our
exercises
in
the
center.
Okay.
A
I
want
us
to
make
sure
that
we're
drinking
enough
water,
okay,
because
we're
not
drinking
enough
water,
no
good
everything
needs
water
plants
need
water.
Animals
need
water,
humans
need
water.
Well,
boys
and
girls
need
water
too.
So
I
want
you
to
take
about
one
minute:
get
your
water
take
some
sips
and
then
come
back
and
I'm
gonna
go.
Do
the
same
thing:
I'm
gonna
get
it
okay
for
real
I!
Really
am
I'm
gonna
go
get
water!
You
go
get
water
too!
Okay,.
A
A
Finished
empty
okay:
here
we
go
send
your
exercises.
What
we
get
to
do
in
the
center
is
practice
our
jumps
and
our
moving
from
side
to
side.
Okay,
so
here's
the
first
thing:
I'm
gonna
teach
you
guys
all
right.
Take
your
arms
down
and
a
big
circle
on
the
bottom.
We're
gonna
bend
our
knees
and
we're
gonna
hop
four
times
one
two,
three:
four
okay,
then
we
take
our
arms
out
to
the
side
and
we're
gonna
jump
inside
a
position.
One
two,
three
four
good.

A
Back
if
you
can
and
we're
going
to
take
one
arm
up
now,
one
should
approach
in,
like
you
have
a
beautiful
dress,
maybe
a
big
long
dress
like
Elsa
or
if
you
like,
anna
better
than
maybe
you
have
a
big
peasant
dress
like
Anna
yeah,
okay

So
you
have
your
big
long
dress
on
one
arm
up
and
you
want
to
stay
toe
ball
heel
toe
ball
heel,
like
you,
have
high
heels
on
and
you're
gonna
walk
in
a
circle.

All
right
that
was
beautiful,
you
guys
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
You
know
you
can
rewind
and
play
this
as
many
times
as
you
want
just
to
learn
it
as
well
as
you
want.
If
you
don't
remember
some
of
the
words,
then
you
can
always
go
back
and
learn
them
as
many
times
as
you
need
to
so
the
very
end
of
every
single
Valery
in
a
class.
It
is
called
reverence.
