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.
I was watching this video ua-cam.com/video/YR8CwZRBM1c/v-deo.html and I was like "it's like a pirouette, it looks easy, until you try it" then I was like "wtf is a pirouette?!"
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.
Watching this like " all I wanted to learn was how to do a long turn but I ended up learning new words like pirouette, plié e.t.c ( other fancy words blah blah blah) Not in an offensive way to any dancers
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!)
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.
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
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.
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! :)
ugh.......almost a quarter of this video was her bragging...i actually came here to listen to people teaching me how to do a pirouette, but instead i was listening to 20-30secs of bragging.. that will be one dislike from me
Ballet Dancer they’re correct. I don’t trust this “professional dancer” if she can’t even turn right. And don’t come at me with that “oH yOu PrOlLy CaN’t Do It” because I can.
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
Veronica Reed nope that's not true! You can be a professional ballerina but not necessarily a good teacher. Whereas some basic ballerinas make good teachers. Same goes to doctors and physicians. Not all doctors know how to teach the classes they took for an example. And some teachers and better than other teachers, you can find a teacher with a higher degree than another teacher but you only get the information better from the teacher with the lower degree for instant. These are just a few examples. Just because you're a professional as something doesn't make you the best at teaching. Sometimes we learn better from teachers that only have baby steps.
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.
professional aren’t always right. of course when you’re in a dance class you know. don’t blame them for knowing how to do something right lmao. i’m also in dance and i can tell her foot isn’t correct.
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!...
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.
I know how to do the position but not the turn!! All these videos are the same. They just show you the turn instead of really explaining the physics or anything at all. I can’t just magically jump from the preparation into the turn.
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.
She didn't even say specific things like _"your right leg should be at X and your left arm should be positioned at Z"_ she just said nondescript things like _"one leg here, one arm out the other in"_ There was no _How To_ here, just basically _'watch me do a single and double pirouette. There. Done.'_ This was woefully executed unfortunately.
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?
+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?
eve _kali the plie is part of the preparation for the pirouette. The plie, the spring up to releve, the whip of the arm, the head spotting are all a part of doing a pirouette.
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!
Poor or at least "different" technique. The very first time they show her turning she is COMING OFF OF RELEVE to turn.... i.e. dropping her heel...so if we wanna get really technical.. she only really accomplished a single...not a double. just sayin... upper body carriage could use some work too...as in her port de bras..... i guess she IS more of a commercial dancer as opposed to a technical dancer...but still.... im always amazed at the choices for these ehow videos....
excelente video creo que ayudaria mucho que existieran subtitulos en español :3 en lo personal me ayudan a mejorar mucho mi tecnica y despejar dudas :3
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 :)
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.
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????
The video didn't explain how to do a pirouette at all!!!!!! You just did it quickly one and then again with no tips or explanation.. sorry but it is not very useful at all!!!!!
It’s obvious she is not a professional... like that’s not how you pirouette, most of your weight should be in your front foot and your fourth position should be a lil wider than your hip width...and you she can’t even stay up for 1 turn and she’s on flat not even on pointe😂I’m not gonna be taking her advice any time soon
My mom told me I was turning the wrong way and your supposed to turn left. My mom used to be a dancer so I believed her. Came to this video to see how to do it the "right" Way. LIES
the amount of turns does NOT determine on the skill of the dancer. i can do a triple, maybe even a quad sometimes and my a la seconde and my fouettes are very good.
Ew she's hopping. Her arms closed and overlapped eachother which they are not supposed to and she wasn't really whipping her head around when she spotted. Not very professional... And I could do four pirouettes and she's probably about twice my age. Professional? Nope.
I don't think she meant professional ballerina, I think she meant professional dancer, she probably does hip hop but has studied ballet as ballet is the basis of many dance forms :)
To all ballet dancers out there... I'm hoping someone can help me with a specific part of pirouettes. This video has helped me improve very much, however, I'm having problems with the position of my back foot after I turn. For example, in this video, at 1:47 the dancer's foot is flat on the floor & *then* pointed (at 1:49) Whereas when I do it, my foot remains pointed. I keep trying to correct this, but not sure how to as it has been a very long time since I was in ballet school & I just started again not that long ago. So, any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!...
The back foot should be flat and you should start in 4th position for preparation. It's best if both legs are demi plièd, but okay if the back leg is straight. The pliè is part of what gives you momentum. It gets you up on relevè. You can also prep from 5th in demi pliè, but that's more difficult.
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.
When people do it, it looks easy, but it's kinda hard

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

Idk because diffrent types of ballet like Russian or idk the other kind do diffrent movements in pirouettes
well this didn't help me at all... didn't teach me how to turn or anything at all reallly..
It works for me. Just practice some more. I'm sure you can do it.
it's ok. it's not that she's a bad teacher, it just takes practice. I did ballet for 3 years and I can't do it right yet.
She looks a bit like Amanda from the next step

And no, you don't open your arms to close them
+Aerie Liang you do open them to close them but she hopped and didn't keep her releve
but you don't make it as big like she did in the video. You open your arms in the prep but you don't swing them out.

Why would you say THANK YOU to a person who taught you something that does not even work?!

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.
You also need to concentrate on those arms and fingers. Hold your arms like you have a beach ball in them and fingers should not look like a spider
I came here because "Idiots in Cars #24" has a nice refrigerator pirouette.
Your just showing us that you can do it your not actually breaking it down in steps
Can this video get any more boring but actually it was quite helpful
She makes it look so easy...
i just came here to learn basic of pirouette for animation purpose. You're so beautiful ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Thank you now i can do the piroutte😃
Idk why I’m here I’m not even a dancer I’m just bored 😂
Dance moms made me do this.....anyone relate?
Damn, she is pretty and she looks great in her pink tights!!!
Why must you be so mean?
Wdym?
hey guys the video starts at 0:00 thank me later 😁
when you say plie instead of pirouette

What? You have to plie before you do your pirouette
Those are two different things🤦♀️

Do you turn to the side your leg is in front or do you like turn away from your leg??? Like to the side, where your leg is behind?
i wish there was more of a demonstration on how to do the actual turn
Next step fans where you at?

Question: what are some good ways to stay on releve while turning and stable?
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 :)
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.
this really helped I can do triple and quadruple turns
This is how you practice ballet: *BalletPro . info*
That's impressive im still trying to learn to do a double
+Dadianee Wright me too 😂
I can do 52 spins in a row with out stoping
Well Natalie maybe you should push yourself to 55 so you can beat Sophia Lucia
pirouette 1:00
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????
Here after 11 years
Here because of The Judge in Blood Meridian’s ending where he’s dancing, grabs a violin, and does a pirouette.
The video didn't explain how to do a pirouette at all!!!!!! You just did it quickly one and then again with no tips or explanation.. sorry but it is not very useful at all!!!!!
It’s obvious she is not a professional... like that’s not how you pirouette, most of your weight should be in your front foot and your fourth position should be a lil wider than your hip width...and you she can’t even stay up for 1 turn and she’s on flat not even on pointe😂I’m not gonna be taking her advice any time soon
My mom told me I was turning the wrong way and your supposed to turn left. My mom used to be a dancer so I believed her. Came to this video to see how to do it the "right" Way. LIES
She didn’t use passé correct, passé switches, front to back, or back to front. Retro ray stays put on same side.
the amount of turns does NOT determine on the skill of the dancer.
i can do a triple, maybe even a quad sometimes and my a la seconde and my fouettes are very good.
So...How do you do a pirouette turn? There's more than just assuming passe position.

youtube: HeRe WaTcH hOw To TuRn!
Am really going to the hospital really am trying to but don't worry thanks for the update
what’s this
How can one be a professional student. And if she really is a pro why does she make such a big thing about a double turn
Anyone else in quarantine trying different things on youtube at 3am....?
I TOLD MY CRIPPLED THREE YEAR OLD THAT SHE COULD NEVER DANCE PROFESSIONALLY, BUT I GUESS I SHOULD GO APOLOGIZE NOW.
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
Question: in ballet your face should have a soft pleasing look why do u look pissed off lady
Igot it.👍Thank you, ms. Maegan.
You weren't supposed to wait so long before you turn and your leg that is up is supposed to be touching your supporting leg
Ok. They're her legs. They look the same whether we take a view from the front or the back.😲🤔
I think that she has no experience in turns because she has no tips for ballet and also can't even turn that well!
Ew she's hopping. Her arms closed and overlapped eachother which they are not supposed to and she wasn't really whipping her head around when she spotted. Not very professional... And I could do four pirouettes and she's probably about twice my age. Professional? Nope.
I don't think she meant professional ballerina, I think she meant professional dancer, she probably does hip hop but has studied ballet as ballet is the basis of many dance forms :)
To all ballet dancers out there... I'm hoping someone can help me with a specific part of pirouettes. This video has helped me improve very much, however, I'm having problems with the position of my back foot after I turn. For example, in this video, at 1:47 the dancer's foot is flat on the floor & *then* pointed (at 1:49) Whereas when I do it, my foot remains pointed. I keep trying to correct this, but not sure how to as it has been a very long time since I was in ballet school & I just started again not that long ago. So, any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!...
Just place in fourth and create a strong base for turns.
The back foot should be flat and you should start in 4th position for preparation. It's best if both legs are demi plièd, but okay if the back leg is straight. The pliè is part of what gives you momentum. It gets you up on relevè. You can also prep from 5th in demi pliè, but that's more difficult.
Thanks
And sure

Does it matter in which direction i turn? It is easier for me to turn in the "wrong" direction.
this is not that good , you would probably fail a vagnova exam
Stop being a hater
the correct grammar is you're not your which is possessive.
the video was great but tbh it didn't really help no offense
The text partially covers your feet unfortunately x
not helpful because you dont tell us how to land or how to control the spin
I'm sure you can do it too. Just look for Stodoys plans.
