  this was shocking...you do not need to do an attitude from arabesque... in fact a better way to teach it would be from retire... and if she were doing this correctly, she would not need that mirror for balance, as her weight placement would be correctly aligned... as dance teacher has said... do more research, as these videos are basic to the bone, and even then i would not use them for the basics...

  I am a dance teacher in Seattle, WA and I just stumbled upon these videos. While I don't want to be too critical, I feel the need to point out the fact that this teacher is not an expert. I worry about her turn-out; it's not from the hip. Her pointe is rolled in, she's not stretching out of her hips, and her shoulders need to come down. She is presenting the basics more-or-less correctly, but her form needs desperate attention. Don't base all of your knowledge on these videos. Do some more research!
