How to do a French Twist or Roll for Ballet | Lazy Dancer Tips
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
At some point of your career you will be asked to do a French Roll or French Twist. Unless you want to end up queuing outside the bedroom door of The College Friend That has mastered the Sorcery of the French Roll at 5.30 am in the morning before you have to go to class (as her appointments book is full of desperate dancers that have not yet passed the exam of magic self French Rolling ), or do it a million times the night before and once one is.. decent, try to sleep like a Geisha and waking up with stiff neck and restless, I suggest you give at go at watching this video and try it at home before it's too late!
It is fairly simple once you found the coordination and what's best for your type of hair. Yes, you will have bad hair days , your arms will get sore from having them up in the air arguing with the fluffs and pins! Don't give up! you can win the battle! French Rolls give a beautiful line to head and neck, it looks professional and in some ways makes you feel like you are ready for the show. Hair Buns (or Chignons) can be somehow young looking and old school. you don't want to look too much like a student, especially if you are going to an audition. Make sure you test in class.
If your are still practising the French Rolling spell, you might want to check that is solid and doesn't fall off during turns or jumps. You might Blind someone with all those pins flying around! Believe me, unfortunately pins trees still haven't grown by harvesting them on the dance floor.
If only we could get £1 for each pin we've lost We'b be millionaires by now! Keep practising you French Roll , soon enough you'll get a Hogwards Diploma and PHD in French Rolling Spells! If you need and help with you magic wand leave a comment below and Ill do my best to give you more advices . Have Fun!

+J Patterson let me know how you get on !!! ;);) happy practicing ;);)
The intro always makes me want cookies! To bad I don't keep them in the house:) or maybe that's good... Thanks for the tips. After practicing with this channel for a while, I finally decided to go back to dance class after 20 years. I got it all settled today and bought all my essentials... Never to old to do what you love.

+Summer Y for thick/heavy hair I have got a trick ! Try with half high ponytail, do the twist and secure it at the top as much as you can. Then do the bottom part by twisting it upwards and joint in it to the to part. Then the rest is the same as in the video. It take few goes but it's doable ;) let me know !!;) ciao

will it work the same with very long hair?
Eventhough I am not a ballet dancer, can I wear this hairstyle for hang out because it gives the clean look and always tidy. If I can wear it, I'll always wear it everyday without let my hair down for a minute. French twist is a mature hairstyle ❤
Lol 'spray like there's no tomorrow'. How long have you been doing this (looks so easy when watching you)? It looks pretty and enjoyable, thx!

Ahahah many many many years of french rolling for shows :D
Is it even possible to do a French twist with 80cm long hair?? 😩
I always have the hardest time securing French twists, and I'm terrible at using Bobby pins :'( do You have tips on how to secure it?

me too. 😢 I tried to wear my hair in a French twist for a ballet class and it had fallen apart in 5 minutes. But I think I'll give it another shut 😀

She said to put the pins inside the bobby pin, that should help to secure it! :)
Beautiful accent, where are you from?

Lazy Dancer Tips Your English sounds kinda Scottish, like really light
I'd like to try doing this - if it wasn't for ballet but just for work or going out could I get away with less hairspray and fewer pins?
@lazydancertips

Oh absolutely, less pins for sure! You don't need to swing your head around ( or maybe you do) so it should stay up anyway! Ciao Alessia
Do any professional ballerinas have short hair, like a bob or a pixie? If so, what do they do?

Cynthia Gregory did. She left it short.
With this hairstyle if you have long hair is it still possible to try it out?
@lazydancertips

Absolutely yes Courtney, you just need to fold the leftover hair a couple of times. I used to have longer hair and it worked :)

Lazy Dancer Tips perfect thank you I will have a go x
It’s beautiful yes, but it’s hard to do when someone is doing it for you.
Either I am really bad at doing hair or my hair is just way to long for this look, I have hair all the way down to my butt 🤷🏼♀️
Spray like there's no tomorrow where you have to take this hairstyle out...
Hello:) I did enjoy watching you making French bun! So helpful! Can I introduce this video on my instagram account? If u allow me i will show short footage and say go watching this video:)
