Tendu and plié. And anything with beautfiful epaulement. Not very good at lifting my legs up high :-D (I'm 45 and did ballet age 5-8, 14-18, 20-21 and have started again at 40. Best decision ever)

I love fondues and sometimes a fun adage, but I’m not very good at them

Espero se recupere pronto Frank! La chulada y Jean deberían estar pendientes porque toma 3 semanas en notar los síntomas. Ya que ellos se dieron el beso de 3 hace poco.

Rond de jambe

Mine is definitely pliés! I love them😊

I love everything about your art; technically and artistically.

Ronde de jambe and fondu. Both so emotive and you can make them so flowy. I do love some simple frappe combos, though

Mine has always been fondue too!!!!! I love ballet so much that I cry at the barre. It’s been 10 years since I’ve danced and I’ve lost everything. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss it! It makes me so happy to watch you dance perfectly! Your feet! Your movements! You are perfection! ❤ (Well not cry boohoo….but I used to get watery eyes!!!)

Fondues....grand battment, Port de bras 😊

Gosh, I’ve never cried at the dying swan before this.

Is it possible to buy just a few stretching videos from you?

Время и история всех рассудит, сейчас вы все можете только рассуждать тут о вашем восприятии Академии Русского Балета 🙄 Анжелина Воронцова - ученица Цискаридзе, если бы вы могли видеть, как она танцует балет. Но вы конечно не можете видеть эту красоту и класс

Very funny. More from Madame B please!

# 2 mostly lol. These are great. I love your videos.

What is your oldest beginner student?😊😊 Nice helpful video!👍👏

Thank you! ❤

That helped so much

Hope you let us know if you ever come teach in the states!❤

Fantastic advice. Looks so different when the whole body is engaged ❤️

I love your videos; your technique and artistry; your attitude and maturity; your heart and care ❤😊

This makes me emotional because as an adult start who went on to dance professionally (! DREAMS COME TRUE !) I had to celebrate the first double, the first turn on pointe, the first time in the corps, and the first time a teacher didn't think I was a beginner - without these moments of excitement and enthusiasm I never would have succeeded!

I quit at 5 because I was bullied for being visually impaired. It took me 30 years to put on a pair of ballet shoes again. I started back in January this year and my teacher is incredible. She pushes me, she corrects, she praises, she pushes me harder. I love her and I’m so glad I finally did something for myself. Now my son and I do barre together at home with our portable barre. He’s taking his grade 3 soon and it’s lovely to have that mutual interest.

hi Isabella, I just want to say thank you so much for starting this channel u have helped me sO much with my dancing, mostly on strength building, I’ve been scouring the internet for someone to show me the correct strengthening exercises and I’ve finally found some that work! I hope to do one of ur studio classes one day, thank you sm!!

Lopatkina is the best! I have the same thoughts about Maria. Actually, I've seen her Raymonda in person on the 25 of April 2021. (I have an excel document where I write all the ballet and opera performances I've been to) My favorites from the younger generation of Mariinsky ballet other than Maria Illushkina right now are: - Svetlana Savelieva (I saw her 4th grade Vaganova exam online around 7 years ago, and I've been waiting for her to become a soloist with the Mariinsky ever since, it's like I feel this "ballerina vibe" about her; I saw her in the Mariinsky multiple times, including her solos at the Vaganova graduation performances and in the corps de ballet with the Mariinsky, never disappoints me) - Alexandra Khiteeva(the best arms IMHO) - Daria Ustuzhanina - Daria Ionova I also admire Maria Bulanova. As for prima ballerinas, I prefer Victoria Tereshkina and Renata Shakirova.

You have helped me tremendously. I danced as a kid, and planned on dancing with a Company. However I had to choose between Skating and Ballet. Well I'm back at it again, and Loving Every Second of it.🤗💝

Thank you 🖤

Wanted to dance to classical music.

can u do a video on how to do rond de jambe en l’air in centre? i really struggle with it my hips are not squared at all and i can’t engage my glutes that wack me out of balance😢 thanks a lot💘

I still remember the feeling of my first successful tour en attitude!

Lovely Message! Very Positive and Encouraging, Thanks! 🌹

Please come to Australia!

Isabella, great messaging applicable for life in general. Regards, Paul

actually are there any tips or tricks to get more turns(like four or five)

Uliana is one of the best ballerinas who ever performed. It is hard to feel this when you watch a video; but the moment she is on stage, she captures your eyes with her majestic moves, and you can’t watch anyone else. It is pure magic, can’t be described otherwise!

I get it the first double is amazing though getting your first accurate single is also great

I don't think it's fair to include Maya Plisetskaya at the age of 61 rather than in her prime, like others.

I have been teaching ballet for almost 5 years and recently I have been looking up for this amazing tips that can change my teaching skills; I feel veery proud because a lot of the things you said are necessary for teachers to have I do prioritize them and make everithing I can to do. I thank you for all your dedication to us, teachers and students, who are in loved with ballet.

It would help to understand what specifically you like about the dancer if you used other words in addition to "nice".

Wow, the lightness of your jump 🥰

Es verdad ! Las cosas que hago bien en clase no les doy importancia pero siempre salgo triste de las cosas que no me salen ! 😢

Hola ! Yo voy a clases de ballet para adultos y doy una clase a la semana de barra al suelo, realmente me ayuda muchísimo ! Me encantaría hacer un intensivo de verano contigo pero yo soy de España ! No sé cómo podría hacer eso ! Gracias por tus videos ! Me encantannnnnnnb❤🥰

Thank you, Isabella!!!❤❤❤

Beh, semplice no?

Meghan's ballet less.

I will be near London in early September this year, I would gladly make the trek for the chance to jump in on a few of your beginners in-person classes * if only the stars align 🥹 I just re-began my ballet journey recently after 20+ yrs: continually encouraged by your guidance. I'm grateful I ran across your videos! (And if not this year, then surely the next time I come visit family in the UK! 🤞) I will peruse your website for more information. Thanks again for sharing your experiences ❤

which of your classes would you recommend to work on or artistic side?

I was so lucky to see her at Covent Garden and what I remember most distinctly is the wit and coquettishness she brought to Titania and Marguerite. Incredible that anyone could criticise her technique or strength as she’s one of those dancers who never brings any attention to effort- always so secure and relaxed, in the moment and playful with the music. She had a reputation for the serious roles but obviously has a deep understanding of characterisation that’s wonderful and entertaining. I totally agree about her hands and gestures. Long or large hands could be a liability but she has total control and conveys so much between steps to create fluidity and incredible expression.

Thanks, Isabella! I love this video, and it is dear to my heart. You are such a dedicated teacher to your students. I took the notes. 😂 Your 8-week beginner class opened up a whole new world, and I have started seeing some improvements. Thank you. ❤❤❤

Intense piano playing… gives us amazing information and tips as always, (thanks btw u have helped me so much)…. Back to intense playing😂😂

Can you do a video on feet exercises for ballet pls?? I really need help for better feet:)
