Ballet Turning Tutorial

- Hi, Welcome to Chunner (Ballet) Studio. My favorite three male ballet dancers are going to talk the tips they think they are going to help with your turns!
Guest: Derek Dunn; Shogo Hayami; Danial McCormick
When Derek turns I want to cry. Amazing.
Am I the only one shook by him taking off his shirt in that pirouette. I'm pretty new to dance so I can't properly access how difficult that would have been but it looked really freaking impressive.
Derek's arch gives me life
This helped me a lot, before I tried these tips I had 2 pirouettes from one push off but now I have 8 from one push off.
Brianna Burt that’s actually insane!
Really??
8 is a lot!! Congrats!
How long did it take for you to see?
Out of all those guest you invited, I can tell Derek is very hard working one. His turn, his foot（绷脚尖）is so perfect.
2:02 when you remember your a ballerina so you gotta keep that posture going
6:08 brilliant hahaha! I try teach my kids that some nerves are a good thing as the adrenaline can help them push to reach their goal in the exam/performance... just have to remember that for myself now!
Also, I find that 'mind-mapping' any exercise (including pirouettes) before I do it can help i.e like walking through each detail and the corrections I've received before doing the movement helps my body know exactly what to do. That gives me the most success in my very average turns
Thanks to you and my teachers, I just did my first four from fourth! Thanks a lot guys!
The most important part is to "spot". he does it but doesnt mention. for ex: put a red circle on the wall straight ahead, focus on keeping eyes glued to it until must turn then keep focusing on that spot for multiple turns. watch him on the shot from above.
Thank you so much for this video Chun Wai! Many videos about turns only focus on technique, so it was very interesting and informative to see everyone's different views on turning! Love the videos! Keep them coming!
I really enjoy your videos and love this videos. I love Danial's calm and slow turn but if I have to chose the style I like the most, I will say Derek's style of turning. It is more control and the speed is just about right - not too fast like Shogo and not to slow like Danial.
Daniel is adorable !
My son loves watching your videos. He is the only teen boy in his class and wants to learn a proper reverence for a Male. Can you do a proper reverence? One that is long as the girls curtsie lol. Pls keep your videos coming.
We are supposed to bow at our studio.
It's so beautiful to watch you guys.
Awesome! Very informative! Thanks Chunner!
I loved seeing everyone's style of turning, soooo good! And entertaining I loved this 👏🏽
Thank you for considering my request! This video was very helpful. 😊 Keep making more videos!!
Great stuff. Really interesting to hear the tips and see the turns of three different dancers, alternately and simultaneously. Big thanks to the 4 of you!
This is fabulous! Definitely very helpful.
Such an EXCELLENT video! Thank you! So inspiring and informative!
I love how shogo turns 😍
Omg look at his point... it's really amazing. Good job💕
Excellent tips!
Their spotting is unbelievable!
just perfect!
Thanks for this video. Wish I'd had it a long time ago. Before videos, students had to visit and pay for a lot of studios and classes, often without getting better, and often feeling as if they would never improve. This video is great for helping dancers.
Great video. I've loved watching ballet for years . I have only had three to lessons in ballet all at the bar for drills but they never taught pirouettes learning pirouette Is on my bucket list
i love every detail in this video, this have given me more confidence. i dance but i love more turns
AWESOME VIDEO! I LOVE IT! Thank you so so much to this!!!!
you guys are awesome youre great athletes💪💪
Those guys are incredible ,
These videos are amazing!!!! so lucky i found them. maybe changing the title to be a bit more specific will help with views and subscribers and help with spreading this wonderful knowledge Thanks heaps
Great video! The different explanations from the 3 guys is so informative as each dancer has such a different rhythm and technique and yet each is an exceptional turner.
As a side note, I'd like to mention that pirouettes are one aspect of technique which has improved vastly over a relatively short time frame... Not to say that there weren't great turners in the past, but when I was training it was rare to find any dancer with more than 3-4 consistently, and definitely not in such a wide range of positions. Particularly attitude en dehors: at my school nobody was doing more than doubles and now people consistently do 4+ on a regular basis. I don't think that the improvements made in jumps, or beats or partnering are as extreme as the improvements across the board in turns.
From my personal experience, I was obsessed with jumps as a student, first petit Allegro, particularly batterie, and later grand Allegro, particularly tricks and manege. At my best turning shape I never did more than 6 in passe en dehors on stage, and usually 3 or 4. A la seconds en dehors? 3 max. Multi-position turn? Two in 2nd switching to attitude for 1 the pulling in to passe for 2more in passe (5 total maxl). So for a dancer of my generation in the '90s and early 2000s, not bad, but by today's standards, my career bests are today's basic level. That's a dramatic improvement over a very short time and the credit must go to 2 things: obviously a better understanding of the physics and techniques by today's teachers and coaches, but also, the wide access to videos just like this that make what in my day seemed like superhuman feats reserved only for the superstars, something tangible and instantly accessible to all the aspiring dancers of the internet generation.
Keep up the amazing work @chunner!!
P.S. what about a turning: part 2 focused on en dedans turns? I find many people have a tougher time with en dedans compared to en dehors and I bet you and your colleagues at Huston Ballet would have some great tips, as usual.
Cheers!
Such good turners!!!!
Love me a nice slow turn
ameeeeeei o vídeo, por favor, faça mais vídeos como este. I'm from Brasil.

Love it. I am crazy about turns i strugle a lot with them. I can't go higher than 2.
Thanks so much.
Please do a video on partnering also I am going to my first summer intensive this year do you have any tips.
Thanks, it it great for we recreational ballet student to hear and see how professionals think about technique
Excelente!!!!!
2 words: THANK YOU :3
Check the last one before the funny crash..hip twist in the plie
Bravo impressive !
Where are the litle dancers of Paris opéra ballet 😂 ?
太赞
Wow thanks for the recommendation and advice to make my turns mastered b'cos I'm really struggling about my turns😢 hahahha
Amazing Video. Maybe a small Advice, and that would be change the Title's of the videos, because its not written that this is an Turning-Tips Video. and you could comment with the dancers you have in your video, so you will for sure have your video be more seen. Keep it up :)
Question for Daniel: As a slow turner, how do you get enough speed or force for open turns(a la seconde, arabesque etc.)?
Arabella Tan watch his leg positions & how he pushes off, slow mo if you can to get the exact leg & foot work. then practice in the mirror a million times. ;•)
Please do a video on how to do a 540

when do you breath?
Wow lovely ! Can u put on.Chinese Sub in ur video.too? Which company are.u from? Live ur stretching video too
Yes, pirouettes are fun on everyone good side but wait how are they on the alternate side.
They turned it!.....🤭🤣
I think the most I ever did was a quad. Sad.
No one addresses the real problem. Why are you all turn as a left handed? Which is the leg that give you balance? The one that is on the floor or the one in the air (consequently the one which control the high of the hip).
In figure skating right handed people turn anti-clockwise. In ballet they all turn clockwise and say its hard to turn... of course, as hard as right with the left hand. Turn anti-clockwise and everything will become natural and intuitive 😉
sorry but you don't mention spotting! I know these already now about "spotting" but a lot watching don't if you don't spot youi will never get more than 2 turns .
