US $52.00
Anybody teaching ballet will attest to the fact that this is one form of dance that needs some daily homework. Just dancing at the lessons that you take may not be enough to make you a great ballet dancer. This means that before or after your lessons you will need to do various exercises at home that will help you execute the intricate and complex movements of this beautiful dance. Here are seven of the best at-home-exercises for people learning ballet.
1. Lower body exercises - fill in your at home exercise routine with lower body exercises such as squats because your lower body and especially your legs play a major role while teaching ballet. Do exercises that will stretch your thighs, calves, ankles, feet and your toes as well because each of these are responsible for important functions such as extensions, turns, leaps and holding up your weight.
2. Body core exercises - a professional teaching ballet will tell you that to be prepared for ballet class, you will have to have a strong body core. To achieve this you must perform exercises that work the core of your body, which means the middle waist part. The core supports lifts and leaps during ballet and partners lift you up by holding you from the waist, which is why these muscles must be well toned.
3. Arm exercises - watching your instructor while they are teaching ballet will show you that the arms play a major role in making the dance look as graceful as it is. The arms are perhaps the most visible and obvious part of a ballet dancer's body and for this reason students should perform exercises at home to keep their arms toned such as lifting small weights.
4. General muscle tone - at the ballet barre in lessons you will have to hold in your stomach muscles, tighten the muscles under the rear, hold up your chest, push your shoulders back and keep your chin up; all at the same time. This is the basic posture that you need to assume and for this it applies that practice makes perfect; at home practice standing, sitting and walking with your muscles slightly tightened.
5. Mimic ballet barre exercises - while instructors are teaching ballet they lay great emphasis on ballet barre exercises and if you do not have a barre at home, use something as a substitute such as a chair or dresser.
6. Ballet shoes on at home - practice routines that you learnt in class at home with your ballet shoes on; these help to strengthen and firm your feet, ankles and legs.
7. Stretching - teaching ballet involves communicating the importance of practising stretching at home with exercises such as the split stretch, hamstring stretch and calf stretch.
Find out more about doing it right from the start with the correct ballet exercises and stretches. Dancers and instructors teaching ballet will tell you that there is nothing like a little daily practice to consolidate and speed up your learning, because with regular and correct practice, bad habits are less likely to creep into your performances.

Raise the Barre $12.99 A comprehensive guide to the hottest new fitness program in the country-Cardio Barre-a dance-based workout that combines cardio, strength training and stretching, in one fast-paced, fat-burning, body-lengthening session. With a full nutrition program as well, you'll see life-changing results in only eight weeks. While yoga, pilates, aerobics and weightlifting are all successful, popular fitness routines, each one of them is missing something that the others offer. And with our hectic lives that leave little time for sleep, let alone hours of daily exercise, the Cardio Barre workout is the perfect combination of cardio, strength training and stretching—achieving multiple desired results from one fast-paced workout. Richard Giorla is a classically trained dancer who has learned from his decades of training that the key to strength and endurance is developing core muscle—the center of the body must be strong in order to support the other areas of the body. In Cardio Barre, you work from your core—maintaining your balance using a barre, a countertop, a chair, or even your own strength—then repeat low-resistance motions such as plies, arm extensions, and leg flexes. With no kicking, jumping, or punching, this effective and complete workout leaves participants with long, lean muscles, flexibility, and endurance. With the success of the Cardio Barre workout in LA, where it has gained celebrity adherents and a long waiting list of others, as well as the recent launch of Cardio Barre in New York, this is poised to become the new "it" workout. And unlike past fitness fads, Cardio Barre sets realistic goals, including following a healthy eating program, and offers the desired results of both cardio health and strength in only eight weeks. |
