Vaganova Grad Barre 10 years later - can I still do it?!

Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. Today I'm going to be trying, trying to be the operative word, to do my graduation bar, which I haven't done in 10 years, maybe slightly more. Obviously I've danced into them, but predominantly my time is spent coaching now, so I don't dance nearly as much as I used to. And these bars are literally, you know, we make it look super easy, but we're basically trained to be like, you know, as strong as an ox. So we're in our primest and fittest when we're doing these graduation bars. So I'm a bit scared to do the bar full out. I might make mistakes here and there if I can't remember it completely, but I remember it pretty well. And yeah, the bar's a little bit low for me, which should be interesting. But I thought, if anything, it'll be entertaining, entertainment for you all to watch me maybe fail doing this. And needless to say, it's like anything, I have no shame in that I'll find this difficult, 100% I'll find this difficult. But needless to say, if you don't do something consistently and all the time, you're going to find things difficult. And yeah, I miss feeling this, this strong now. So this might be a nice start for me to just work on myself a little bit more, because we never stop growing. But anyway, enjoy. Let me know what you think in the comments below. Should be interesting. And wish me luck. All right. Here goes. I've now haven't even practiced this. I haven't done anything. I've just literally thought, what the hell? Let's try. So I think I'll die. All right. Enjoy. tough for many reasons. Reasons being, you know, I personally don't do those movements every single day anymore. Reasons two, you know, I'm spending most of my time, like I say, coaching other people to do that. And reasons three, it's a long time since I've done the whole bar in 10 minutes with not much break. So yeah, but I really enjoyed doing it. I hope you enjoyed it too. Not as tragic as I thought. With a bit of practice, I think I'd get there again. So give me time. But if you enjoy this kind of like, can she still do it? Kind of thing. Or just simply just, you know, me trying to do what I used to do 10 years ago. Then maybe we can do other exercises as well. But yeah, it's so tough. But like I say, it was really fun. And you know, I better get my workouts in so that I can keep up keep up with 18 year old me. Anyway, thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. And I'll see you guys soon.
