These 10 Ballet Cues Confuse Every Dancer (Here's Why)

Описание: Ballet corrections can sound important but leave you more confused than when you started.
If you’ve ever been told “lower your shoulders,” “drop your tailbone,” or “use your back” and had no idea how to practise it — this video is for you.

In this video, I break down 10 common ballet corrections dancers hear every day and explain:

what teachers are usually reacting to

why these cues get misunderstood (especially by adult dancers)

and how to actually practise them in your body

This is not about trying harder.
It’s about finally understanding what you’re being asked to do.

If you’re an adult dancer who:
• feels confused by vague corrections
• works hard but doesn’t feel consistent progress
• wants clarity, not more effort
• is tired of being told what without learning how

This will help things click.

Focus on one correction.
Practise it for a week.
Then layer the next.

That’s how real technique builds.

Remember to practise… for many years.
