    GUYS
    To everybody saying that spotting is not necessary, ask anybody. Literally anybody. Any dance teacher or someone who has had experience it dance. SPOTTING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP AND TOOL. I have been dancing for years and this is the only advice teachers give. When you don't spot you lose balance, topple over, and barely do any turns. Spotting makes you able to do more turns. It gives you momentum. When you spot, you won't topple over, lose your balance, or get dizzy. Spotting is soooooo important.

    I'd like to know what criteria howcast uses to filter their teachers... this woman's technique is very sloppy and she is not very thorough with her explination. Also, as many people have said, she has no head spot... that is problematic. it is also the reason why she falls out of her double pirouette. Anyway... howcast, if you want someone to teach turns let me know.

      @Trusova111 8 лет назад +4

      its not a must that you have to spot to avoid getting dizzy when doing many turns once. For gymnastics, you can see that the women gymnasts can do 4 turns quickly without spotting on floor or balanced beam, and even they can connect other moves with the turns. They don't look dizzy at all after finishing turns. Certainly spotting is necessary on dance teaching but it is not the only method to avoid being dizzy. Honestly, when you practically do many turns once very quickly , its not easy to spot in each single turn if you haven't gotten well trained from the basics before...

    I feel like this method, which my teacher swears by, has really stunted my spotting, as your head is basically going in a slow-motion circle the whole time. So here I am three years later watching RUclips videos because I still can't do a proper jazz pirouette. And it's the same exact ineffective method. Great.

    • @ninidang7745
      @ninidang7745 9 лет назад +1

      Spotting is when you look at a specific spot (ex: A piece of tape on the wall) and you keep trying to look as you turn and you look at it until you can't see it then you whip your head around to the original spot and the reason why you spot is it makes you less dizzy.

    @TheEsj0817 9 лет назад +3

    please take this down. she is not explaining anything. In your preparation, be sure you are balanced evenly between your feet, bend both knees, then push down into the floor on your standing leg to send you up into releve. Touch your passé toe to your standing knee and Point your toe! Practice balancing in this passé with a wall or railing for at least 30 seconds. That is the position your should be in when you turn. The woman here is doing a ball change preparation and her weight is unevenly distributed before she tries to turn, which is why she can not hold her releve or stay balanced through the turn to the end (or do more than 2). If you want to dance, take a CLASS in person. The internet will not teach you how to dance.

      +Victoria Khytryak I would say pirouettes/turners or half soles are best for any turns in dance. I have heard from teachers that you shouldn't use socks unless you have good control but I think it's really your preference.

      Depends on what type of dance you do. Generally it's jazz shoes, ballet shoes, or pointe shoes, but if you do tap, tap shoes. Socks are bad.

    In my opinion Jazz seems to be one style of dance you don’t need EXTREME flexibility.

    For all the people saying that she didn't talk about spotting, I think she skipped that essential part because she was only doing one turn. I mean, if you were to do multiple turns, spotting is a must.
