That's 'cause you're a dude, and dude's don't pirouette... they build things, watch sports like football and hockey while cooking some meat on the grill. Then they go to bed and make love to their beautiful wife. Dudes shouldn't wear tights either, that's chick stuff.

In my experience teaching turning, the determining factor of how well you turn comes down to primarily positioning of your body, and secondly your strength to hold the position. What she should have emphasized explicitly is that to practice your turns you should be practicing your ability to move to passe on releve and back thousands of times more than your turn. Once you can control those positions effortlessly through proper form and adequate muscle control, turning becomes trivial.

But how do you TURN??

i agree that this doesn't really help i would suggest focusing on something else each time you turn. First focus on your feet, then your legs, arms, then finally work on your posture. You need to be standing perfectly straight, with your shoulders relaxed. (make sure you're doing this in front of a mirror so you can see every aspect of the turn) After you focus on each part of the turn, (arms legs feet posture etc.), think of at least 3 things you can do to fix it, and apply it. If you're still having trouble, you could try to find someone (a teacher, a dancer in your age group or older, anyone who can execute a good pirouette), and ask them if there is anything you can do to improve and they should be glad to help. After you get the actual steps of the turn and technique perfect, you can work on spotting. Spotting is when you focus on an object, and look at it as much as possible. You just whip your head around to see it as much as possible. With practice and help, you should be able to do better turns in no time! (I hope i helped, it's kind of hard to do online!)

the momentum that powers the turn comes from the closing of your arms from open position.

@puzzlesocks6491

Tried writing a step by step but it was way too long and too confusing because you have to focus on several muscles at a time. But yeah, like Linsey said, the turning is mostly powered by the opening and closing of your arm that creates the momentum. (Difference here with me and the instructor here was that I was taught that my arms stay in third position even while my legs are bent) Third position is where the arm of the direction you'd like to turn to is held out in a curve in front of roughly your bellybutton level. For instance, if you are turning right, your right arm is the one that's bent. While the left arm is stretched out to the side but still maintaining a curve, this time a little straighter than the right. Before you retract your legs for the spin, YOUR ARMS MOVE FIRST. The right arm is thrown out to the right, followed quickly by your left arm being thrown inwards to "join" your right arm. So while you turn your arms are locked in first position. The throwing creates this force and I'm sorry if this was a worthless TL;DR it's just how I understood it and it works for me .w.

ive been dancing ballet for 11 years now .. i came up to this video just to see how would they do a perfect one …..tbh… she didn't really actually taught you how to to turn… she only taught you how to start the turn … and i found an error too :] so when she starts the turn .. her front foot moved in…. but if in the exams ,you do that .. you would get low points … so when you start the turn . don't move your front foot….. and when you turn … do not arch your back .. or not you will loose your balance.. and when you start the turn, your back foot kinda hops to the center .. so your body can keep a straight line… :3 trust me i failed many times .. you just gota find your way … and practice..

I've noticed her technique to not be too stellar. In her first demonstration she lands way too wide, with way too much weight on her front foot, and she never fishes one without spinning on her heel at the end. A perfect pirouette should be so controlled you can land in fifth position gracefully.

Xiomara Rodriguez uk how u like turn around without picking ur legs off the ground when someone behind u or something, well the main thing in this one is BALANCE so ur going to turn in one spot (make sure not to move) and when turning ur on ur heel is gonna be off the ground and u have the plea becuz without plea it doesn’t give u force to push, but when u plea make sure to push up and that’s when u spin with ur heel off the ground with the other leg on ur knee like hers was and u have to hold ur arms in a wide but not small circle

Haha! Don't worry, it's just a matter of becoming comfortable in your pirouettes. Practice makes progress (perfect is too much pressure and it's not a reasonable goal, so I say "practice makes progress" instead) so just keep practicing! :)

to anyone who's learning dance: KEEP TRYING!!!! no one gets it the first time :) Good luck!!

Thank you for this video. Just in the few times I have watched it, it has already helped me so much. I studied ballet when I was younger and while I never stopped dancing in general, it has been a very long time since I did ballet in the technical ways. Plus, I have new floors in my house, and it was throwing my pirouettes off. This video has helped me improve a lot. Your dancing is lovely by the way, and I liked how you showed and explained everything here. Many thanks. Cheers!...

Why is there always so much hate on dance tutorial videos? "She's doing it wrong!" "No way is she a professional!" "Well, I take dance classes, so therefore, I know everything and you're wrong!" Y'all. Calm it down. She does it better than I do and she has had a ton more professional jobs than I have, and I'm willing to bet you have.

Beautiful, elegant, graceful. I was hypnotized.

The gestures are so beautiful. They communicate.

Wait you're talking about the arms but you're not talking about the head. The head has to turn really quickly during the pirouette. Without the movement of the head, you can not do a perfect pirouette. So your legs are to be turned out (en dehors in french), your arms have to be opened at the begining and closed (in 1st position) during the pirouette and your head have to turn over your shoulder really quickly.

Your head does not just move really quickly it has to spot or else your timing will not be accurate (if your in a group of course) and spotting is so that you know where you starting and landing because if you don't spot you will most likely land a different direction

Yeah I've been dancing ballet for a year now and I've never done my pirouettes like this lol, you also have to STAY on releve, not come down half way. The head is also important, you kinda have to turn your head fast so you get more momentum to turn. Thats just my view on it :)

Honestly this actually helped

*Gasps* sooo pretty 👏

Im sure she had good intentions with this wideo but like in all of her tutorials all I see is the raw motions done like she is a Barbie doll. No emotion, not on the face and not in the body. She's just so stiff. Also, she hopped in the middle of doing one pirouette. Which I wouldn't judge. I've been doing ballet for 13 years now and I do that. BUT, I'm not a professional and I don't say I'm a professional. I don't know. Don't get me wrong! I never wanted to be rude with making thus comment! It's just the whole wideo feels weird to me. But I'm still happy that she's doing these tutorials. It might actually be helpful for so many people.

I could do a pirouette if I practiced

To be honest, I'm learning more from the comment section than I am the actual video... She doesn't really explain how to actually DO the turn. I used to do ballet and then lost interest, so going back into it I'm realizing how hard it is. I can't be saying anything (since I have no idea what I'm talking about lmao) but she didn't seem very "professional", she seemed to fall out of her turns and wasn't explaining things in an understandable way. Just my opinion though.

yay I got it

Hi I'm doing a 10 second animation of a pirouette and I was wondering. Can you do half pirouttes. Like do a pirouette and end up facing the opposite direction? I'm drawing my character to do a one and a half one and I just wondering if that's realistic and common in the ballet community. Can you do it or does it always have to be full pirouettes?

@Ggoldwyn

8 жыл бұрын

+Ivan Delgado I don't think it's common, but it is possible. You can do halves and quarters even, it just requires a lot more control. Actually we tend to do them as exercise to improve your general balance in pirouettes. Write in youtube Kathryn Morgan and pirouettes, she has excelent explanation on how to do it...why would you though? You would end up facing away from the audience or something...? Is it something with the story in the dance?

wow thanks a lot! you really help me! :D pretty girl! :3 hehehe Thanks !!!!

Since I am an older dancer, I do look for examples for my students. There does seem to be a lot of hate here. We as dancers can do better than this. She does land in too large a lunge, there is a " hop " coming out of the pirouette, and her arms need some work. But none of us are ever perfect except maybe Mikhail. I didn't have her guts when I was her age, and as a dancer, you must promote your work!

@Dancerkaiya100 that's what i thought

LOL! I feel like i got trolled they taught the positions and not the spin, then later tell me when i'm better i can do a pirouette.

If you need help with turns and pirouettes go to Kathryn Morgan’s channel. She’s an amazing dancer and she can actually do the moves she is teaching.

The thing is, when I'm doing the pirouette, the problem is my feet, it's because when I turn for "long" (probably on the second turn 😂) my feet just don't make the turn fall so I end up losing my balance and I can't do it for long, only one full turn. I have a carpet, which is even harder, AND I can't get those boards because I'm not aloud

Can you do a pirouette with a plate in your hands who has a delicious meal in it? I wanna see this moves in a commercial

You SHOWED a pirouette,but the question is:how is it possible to turn around sooften, when there is no resistance from which the drive can come from????

if your not yet on pointe do you turn on pointed toes like the one in front or not I know not the heel but I am confused

when you close your arms and you bring your leg uo you have to use that as the force to make you turn. I suggest you keep your arms straight at first (one in front of you the other at the side) and then bringing them together fast. Don't forget to keep a spot with your eyes and then turn your head quickly to keep your eyes on that spot ... that will give you a bit of extra force to turn twice.
