Welcome to Pregnancy and Postpartum TV Kids Workout Series.
Today we're doing a unicorn sparkle ballet class.
I've got Vivian here helping me.
Are you excited Vivian?
Also make sure you watch to the very end.
We have a unicorn surprise for you.
The first ballet move that we're going to do to warm up is unicorn trots.
And what we're going to do is we can bring our toes together like this
and we're going to trot and bring one foot up and point each foot and switch feet.
So we're trotting like a unicorn.
Beautiful.
Pointing your foot as you bring it up.
Beautiful pointing.
Should we go around in a circle Vivian?
Follow me.
Lifting our knees up in front of us.
Looking beautiful.
All right, let's find our spot on the floor again.
And let's go into first position.
We're done warming up doing our unicorn trots.
Now we can get down on the ground.
So tuck one foot behind you and we'll get down and we'll take our feet out in front of us
and we can take our hands out to the side sitting up nice and tall.
Now we're going to practice pointing and flexing our feet.
So we can take both our toes and point them and flex.
Beautiful.
Point, flex.
This is warming up our feet, strengthening our feet.
Flex, point, flex, point, flex, point, flex.
One more point.
Good.
Now let's shake it out.
Let's practice our unicorn wings, okay?
Sitting up tall, putting our wings out to the side,
lifting them up gracefully, looking up at them, letting them float back down again.
Takes a lot of work to sit up straight.
Lifting them up, letting them float back down again.
One more time.
Beautiful.
Let's do one foot at a time now.
So you can take your right foot and we'll point, flex, point, flex.
Just one foot.
Point, flex, point, flex.
One more time.
Point, flex.
Let's do some ankle circles.
Good job.
And we'll switch to the other side.
Point, flex, point, flex, point, flex, point, flex.
Ankle circles.
Wonderful.
Shake it out.
Wonderful.
Now we can stand back up again.
Let's find our way to our first position, placing our hands on our hips again.
Now we're going to practice our demi plies in first position.
So we can look down at our feet and we're going to make a pizza slice shape with our feet.
And we're going to bend our knees, making a diamond shape with our legs.
You can picture that a unicorn is going to jump through our legs.
We want to make lots of space with our diamonds and then straighten our legs.
Good.
Demi plie, diamond, straighten.
Demi plie.
Knees are pointed out.
Beautiful.
Straighten.
Let's do it again.
Demi plie, straighten.
Demi plie, standing up nice and tall, not folding forward.
And straighten.
One last time.
Demi plie, straighten.
Now let's do our demi plies in second position.
We can point our toe and bring our feet to second position.
And now when we take a demi plie, our legs are going to make the shape of a house.
So this can be a house for our unicorn.
Demi plie, straighten.
Knees are pointing out.
Demi plie, straighten.
Beautiful.
Demi plie, straighten.
Squeeze your leg muscles at the top.
Demi plie, straighten.
One last time.
Demi plie and straighten.
Good.
We can point our foot, come back to first position.
Now we're going to do tendus to the front devant or to the back derriere.
Point to the front and then slide your foot all the way through and point behind you.
Slide through, press through your demi point and then point to the front.
Good.
And tendu derriere to the front to the back.
Tendu front, tendu back.
We'll do one more time.
Tendu front, tendu back.
Come back to first position and we'll do that on the other side.
Very good.
Tendu front.
Come back to first position, tendu to the back.
Sliding your foot through, massaging the floor, point front.
Massaging, point back.
Good.
Come to first position, point front.
First position, point back.
Beautiful.
We'll come back to first position and now we'll practice tendus to the side,
which is called à la seconde.
So let's point our toe coming through our demi point and then point to the side,
bringing our foot back into first position.
Point to the side, tendu and back to first position.
Tendu side, first position.
Looking beautiful.
Tendu side, first position.
One more time.
Tendu side, first position.
Let's try that on the other side now.
So we're going to point our other foot to the side, tendu and back to first position.
Tendu, back to first position.
Tendu à la seconde, back to first position.
One more time.
Tendu, back to first position.
Beautiful tendus.
Now we're going to practice our port de bras and we can think about spreading sparkles everywhere.
Let's bring our hands to bra bas, nice round arms, soft elbows.
And then we'll bring our arms up to first position with both our hands out in front.
And then we can open up, spread some sparkles and we'll open up to second position here.
We have a nice slope down our arms, soft hands.
Beautiful.
Let's bring our hands up to fifth position and coming up to fifth position.
Good.
And we're going to have a bubble pop of sparkles.
Pop and let our hands float down.
Halfway we'll turn our palms down and then gracefully bring our hands back to bra bas.
Beautiful.
Let's try that one more time.
Bringing our hands up through first position and out to second position.
Let's bring our hands up to fifth, looking up and then our bubble pops.
Sparkles go everywhere, all the way down.
Turning our palms down halfway and letting our hands float down to bra bas.
Beautiful port de bras.
Now we're going to do our unicorn ballet gallops.
Are you ready, Vivian?
All right, let's come to the side and I'll demonstrate first.
So we'll come to the side.
We can point our foot behind and then we're going to gallop, gallop, gallop.
All right, Vivian, your turn.
Beautiful.
We can go the other way now.
Gallop, gallop, gallop.
Beautiful.
Let's do it together.
Are you ready?
And gallop.
All together again.
Gallop, gallop.
We're going to practice our unicorn ballet skips.
So we can start and bring our feet together.
And we're going to step and hop, pointing our top foot.
Step, step, hop.
Beautiful.
All right, let's skip the other way.
We can try a little bit faster now.
And skip.
Beautiful.
Skip.
Back this way again.
Skip, skip.
Skip.
You can skip around your room if you're at home.
One last time.
Good.
Let's find our spot on the floor again.
We'll come to first position.
We're going to practice our unicorn wings now.
Let's bring our hands down to bra-ba.
Nice soft elbows.
Thumbs in.
Good.
And let's bring our wings out to the side, gracefully lifting them up.
And then so gracefully bringing them back down again.
Beautiful.
Now we're going to do that with a turn.
So let's come up on our toes a little bit.
Good.
And we're going to open up our wings while we turn on our toes.
We'll do one more turn.
Beautiful.
And coming back down to first position.
Let's do that on the other side.
Coming up on your toes and opening up your wings as you turn.
