  I love Vaganova so much, I’ve always felt that I did my training in the wrong country. Australians love RAD but I lived for the artistry. I just did my first ballet class in 15 years this week, my body remembered it all ❤

  Such generosity, Isabella, showing us your exams and critiquing them.  No surprise that your intensives sell out as soon as they are available for signing up!

  I am currently working on &nbsp;getting back in shape. I am a 53 year old hobby ballet dancer from Germany. After a 5 year break due to family and pandemic reasons I started ballet training again this year. <br>Although the other students in my ballet class are on average 30 years younger than me, I keep up well in class. Especially when it comes to barre work, (single) pirouettes and flexibility.<br>My jumps and balances are still far from what I used to be able to. But it&apos;s getting better. Slowly but constantly. And I&apos;m convinced inside that I&apos;ll get back to where I was 5 years ago. And even futher. Hopefully my double pirouettes will become better than ever bevor. It would be wonderful to get there over time. But I am full of confidence. It just feels great to be back in class practicing all those steps.<br>My motto: Enjoy it! Be happy and thankful for the opportunity to take ballet classes again.<br><br>@Isabella: I appreciate your videos very much. They are such gems for hobby dancers and Ballett lovers like me, who never would have the chance to get such deep inside views elswhere.❤

  Hi! Advanced adult here, been loving your videos recently, especially the exams I find very inspiring. After finishing ballet grades in high school I have found it very difficult to feel inspired to go that bit extra to improve in class, but watching your videos has really inspired me. So my mindset at the moment is to try be a dancer who does even just that 10% more than required every class, every stretch etc.

  In terms of mindset I’m currently working on showing up to class earlier to warmup and staying after class longer to practice and just generally to push myself in class more.<br>In terms of ballet I’m currently working on keeping my retire flatter during pirouettes and just generally jumps en pointe because we’ve only started them recently and I’m still really struggling with them 🫠<br>I love your videos! I found your channel 3 days ago and I’ve been watching a couple of your videos each night while stretching 😅✨
