He is currently teaching and coaching top companies all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>A few words about giving a warm class as opposed to a full class?<\/p>\n<p>In some companies, not all, they ask me to give a warm up before the performance that is 30 minutes long. I am not a teacher that would just repeat the morning barre. After a day of work and rehearsal the dancers don&#8217;t need another full barre. I try to give the barre I would want as a dancer. I give simple exercises so that the dancers aren&#8217;t going crazy with steps before the performance. A few tendus. I mix ronds de jambe En l&#8217;air and petits battements. I would do ronds de jambe \u00e0 terre and fondus together. I could do a 20 minute barre and a ten minute center. In center I would combine tendus and pirouettes. I would do a small jete or fondu again with pirouettes. Then I would do a short pirouette combination with en dehors and en dedans. I add in 4 small jumps plus Sissonne and Tours en l\u2019air for the men. I can fit that all into 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-30087 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/YBTeaching1-Kopie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/YBTeaching1-Kopie.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/YBTeaching1-Kopie-300x296.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/YBTeaching1-Kopie-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo by Costin Radu<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"ihc-locker-wrap\"><div  class='ihc_locker_2'><div class='lock_content'><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagine_website_Digital_Exklusiv.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Weiterlesen mit Digital+<\/h2>\n<p>Alle Formate in einem ABO.<br \/>\nBequem auf Ihrem mobilen Endger\u00e4t Ihrer Wahl.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alle Artikel online lesen<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum ePaper<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum Online-Archiv von Dance for You<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Jetzt digital freischalten!<\/h4>\n<\/div><div class='lock_buttons'>\n  <!-- Login Form - Start -->\n  <div class=\"ihc-login-form-wrap ihc-login-template-11\">\n      <form method=\"post\" id=\"ihc_login_form\">\n          <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ihcaction\" value=\"login\" \/>\n          <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ihc_login_nonce\" value=\"8d140b9400\" \/>\n\n          \n                    <!-- Username field -->\n          <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr\">\n              <i class=\"fa-ihc fa-username-ihc\"><\/i>\n              <input type=\"text\" value=\"\" name=\"log\" id=\"iump_login_username\" placeholder=\"Username\"\/>\n          <\/div>\n          <!-- End of username field -->\n          \n                    <!-- Password field -->\n          <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr\">\n              <i class=\"fa-ihc fa-pass-ihc\"><\/i>\n              <input type=\"password\" value=\"\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"iump_login_password\" placeholder=\"Password\"\/>\n              <span  class=\"ihc-hide-login-pw hide-if-no-js\" data-toggle=\"0\" aria-label=\"Show password\">\n              <span class=\"dashicons dashicons-visibility\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n                <\/span>\n          <\/div>\n          <!-- End of Password field -->\n          \n          \n          <!-- Remember me checkbox -->\n                    <div class=\"impu-remember-wrapper\">\n              <input type=\"checkbox\" value=\"forever\" name=\"rememberme\" class=\"impu-form-input-remember\" \/>\n              <span class=\"impu-form-label-remember\">Remember Me<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n                    <!-- End of remember me --->\n\n          <!-- Additional links -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-links-pass\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/en\/lost-password\/\">Lost your password?<\/a><\/div>\n                    <!-- End of Aditional links -->\n\n          <div class=\"ihc-clear\"><\/div>\n\n          <!-- captcha -->\n                    <!-- end of captcha -->\n\n          <!-- Submit bttn -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr impu-form-submit\">\n                  <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Log In\" name=\"Submit\"  class=\"button button-primary button-large\"\/>\n              <\/div>\n                    <!-- End of Submit bttn -->\n\n          <!-- Social -->\n                    <!-- End of Social -->\n\n          <!-- Additional links -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-links\">\n                <div class=\"impu-form-links-reg\">Don&#039;t have an account? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/register\/\">Register<\/a><\/div>\n              <\/div>\n                        <!-- End of Aditional links -->\n\n      <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n\n  \n  <span class='ihc-js-login-data'\tdata-user_field='#iump_login_username' data-password_field='#iump_login_password' data-error_message='Please fill out all mandatory fields' ><\/span>\n  <!-- End of Login Form -->\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interview by Armando Braswell When someone is\u00a0being interviewed, they always put\u00a0their best face forward. &#8220;Real Talk&#8221; is designed to help young dancers\u00a0and professionals by providing them with the whole truth about\u00a0the problems faced by artists&#8230;on stage and off.
