If you’ve ever been told to “pull up” in ballet class but it still doesn’t feel clear or easy, you’re not alone. Many dancers hear this correction constantly but struggle to understand what it actually means in their body.
In this video, I break down what teachers are really asking for when they say pull up in ballet, why the cue can feel confusing, and an alternative way to think about it that may help you feel more lifted, stable, and connected in your dancing.
This video is especially helpful for adult dancers and ballet students who feel like no matter how much they try to pull up, it never feels like enough. I’ll walk you through what is actually happening in the body and share a different cue that can make the idea of lifting and supporting your posture in ballet class much easier to understand.
If you're working on ballet technique, alignment, posture, and stability, these ideas can help you move with more ease and control in class.
