Welcome to The Kniaseff Stevovich Floor Barre for Turnout

Course outline

About this course:

This floor barre course is the missing piece of the puzzle to your ballet training : the very foundations you never learn in a typical vocational ballet training, but is a part of the pre ballet curriculum of the best ballet schools:

The course is composed in two parts; 

The first part starts with the 4 foundational exercises, which build our turn out and placement of the fundamental ballet movements, much like the beginning of the ballet barre.

The second part conditions our body for harder ballet technical elements and refining our classical lines with exercises such as ab work, adages, batterie etc. it reflects what is required for the second half of barre through to center work.

Turn out

In this course, the exercises are geared to train the proper placements of the bones, spiraling of the muscles, and opening the hips that makes rotation accessible to unlock for everyone. Expect to feel stronger deep rotators, inner thighs, and a cleaner presentation of the lower leg (heels and calves forward).

Legal Mentions:

Please be advised that all floor barre videos are strictly for personal practice.  

Any intent to utilize these materials and exercises for instructing other teachers or students is expressly forbidden, and a violation of the international copyright and trademark of the Boris Kniaseff Method, owned by Yasna Stevovich. Ms Stevovich reserves the right to pursue any concerns by law.
