@@TheWholePointe good. I’m working on landing one nicely now. I only take ballet once a week so I’m trying to watch videos to fill in the gaps. Do you have beginner videos for pique turns?
In an old pirouette video of yours you mentioned some back exercises to help you lock your arms into position in a pirouette. I would love to know what they are:)
Yes! The first that comes to mind is grabbing a theraband and holding it tightly in a 1st position with the arms - pull the theraband to feel the engagement of the back and pecks. Think expansion! Like how I pressed on the outside of my students arms in 1st in my old pirouette video. Maybe I should make a video on this?
Lovely class Elizabeth ❤ Gathering the pieces 👍 in martial arts it is similar to not drag your weapons; as to not let things lag. Letting the cat out of the bag. Apologies for not responding to your uploads, as have been focusing diligently on making a RUclips channel instead of posting comments for more than a few months now. On another note, have changed from Jin Tao Al Wing Chun to STARSHIP DJS; as am producing a new concept here on RUclips with videos Incorporating music, dance and sci fi, that will start uploading them very soon. This sci fi, music video project includes ballet dancers, that are also pilots. That are called Lunarian's that terraform moons among other duties. They have a starship named Arabesque and a space station called pirouette... They ballet dancers are guardian angels in their sector of the universe, where they are always ready to help those in need of rescuing...
Oh how exciting! I am so happy for you, this sounds like a very interesting project and I look forward to hearing/seeing more! I am glad you are doing well!
@@TheWholePointe thank you for all your hard work. It must take you a lot of time working on these videos and other online material. Been learning a lot with RUclips videos that you and others have posted. I am so thankful for RUclips. I don't know what I would have done without ballet workouts. It really helps relieve stress. Hope you have a great day! Take care.
Also I’d love a follow along version! I am a long time dancer, but not of classical ballet and pirouettes are no exceptions.
Yes, totally! I love follow alongs too - I'll get to work on that!
Awesome video, I'm happy I came across it. Thanks.
My pleasure! thanks for the comment, let me know how your dance journey is going!
Thank you! That was helpful!
Oh I'm so glad to hear that! How are they coming along?

Thanks!! What about when you need to do it from 4th instead of 5th? Same thing?
the same dynamics apply and you can take the tendu prep to a 4th! I can do a video on that too, if you'd find it helpful?
Yes!!! I’d love that sooo much! 🥰
Hey Elizabeth! Would you mind explaining about the spiral “coil” energy as we go into the prep? 😃
A follow along would be great! Hope you are doing well.
Thank you, I am! How are you doing? How is dancing going? I will make a follow along for sure, thanks for commenting, it's good to hear from you!
