She makes it look so easy
she finishes so beautifully :)
What my teacher taught me about balance is , thing of energy pushing down from your feet and pulling up from your head. Works like a charm. My balance is amazing.
I'm working on my triples! ALMOST THERE! :D
i did my first quad yesterday! :D
I can barely do 2, I keep losing balance, can someone give me a tip on balance?
Do spotting... it can help!
You have to keep a tight core, your shoulders down and relax into your turn. Don't swing your arms too much and try to keep control. This is how i finally got my triple :) good luck!
Can u check out my video on my pirouette and tell me what to improve on plz I'll subscribe to you
Try some simple abs work outs everyday, strengthen your core its the key to balance at good pirouettes
i keep falling out of my triple/double, i also have a hard time keeping my spot
Arion Briyel same
Arion Briyel think about using your core the whole time you're turning
she was AMAZING!!!!! that was BEAUTIFUL!!!! I wish I could do that!
I love watching ur instruction videos , After 10 years of dance it helps to remind me of the basics. i wish I saw these when I was younger so that now i dont have to unlearn bad habits. Thanks.
Woah when I was very little I can do like 14... and now I only can do 4...
I actually just did my first double pirouette ! Thanks so much, I'm so excited now on to tackle a triple pirouette
she may be the queen of pirouettes
but pierre trudeau is the king of them
Am I the only person in the wo,rd who is right footed and does these on there right foot?
Omigods I do it on my right foot too, everyone I see does it on their left foot.
Christina Wong i know right
No I do lol
I HAVE COMPANY AUDITIONS THIS WEEK AND I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY LEFT SIDED. IT SUCKS SO MUCH!!!
Garlic Papi how did the audition go
She has great control! I've been doing these at dance and I have the first one down but the second one I haven't tried yet.
This helped so much now I can do a quad! TYSM
im learning! yes!
thanks a bunch! I impressed my dance teacher and am now getting a solo!YOU ROCK :)
thank you ^^
the trick is really is that you have to bring your knee up really high and to spot
it really helped for me
Wow the quad is awesome
I can only do 1 ;-; when I am trying to do 2 I always end up doing half of it and putting my foot down. Tips?
Just try to turn as long as you can without stopping
Mia Lugo I tried that. I still end up doing 1 and a half.
Turn your head
I ha the same problem
EvaDoesThings ohh idk then
this is awesome. i love watching alicia clifton do pirouettes. she is amazing, and she broke the world record for the most pirouettes. i can only do three, and thats rare for me.
Dang she's good! Those pirouettes were wonderful, thanks for posting this!
thanks for the help! It was great, I am working on 2!
Beautiful.
That is a funky preparation.
So helpful thanks so much
Thanks so much! I have to do the exact thing in my dance choreography in school so this should help me nail it I hope x'D
I can do 2.5 turns and I have to say that her turns are amazing! Her landings are perfect. :)
Awesome!
VERY NICE!!
very good learning tool...thank you
that was amazing. it help me do one.
this helped alot
thank u
I'm working on my quad !
Omg this helped me so much! Thanks SO much :) btw, very talented dancer!!
Pretty turns
Thank you
Soo helpful.
thankyouu sooo muchhh.. I will try this and practice...and I ll be able to do that
I have been dancing for 13 years and I am working on doing 5 or 6 pirouettes! :) I LOVE DANCE!!!!! (L) xo
I can Piruette now!! Thank you ^_^.
glad to help. good luck!
muy buena tecnica
My problem is that I can't land my pirouette, I end up almost jumping at the end and always landing in second position. How do I fix that?
remember to think tall, like you're being pulled by a string from the spine. When you finish a single pirouette, push your picked-up leg to the back with your toes facing out and land softly.
Deirdre Khoo Thank you! :) That helps a lot
uhhh what i learned was its in your momentum when you start. so use more power when you start and also spotting is important to help keep your balance. also pay careful attention to the carriage of your arms. it helps but just keep practicing and it will happen. took me a while. im a hip hop dancer and i felt so out of my element learning jazz basics lol
good job. i wish i could do that!
pirouettes!
that was fun :)
you are a very good dancer
very nice !
i'm training that
There are times i can do 3 but the next day i cant even do a single! LMAO!!!
That's Good!
Thanks
I need to work on my pirouettes lol.
I can do it, but it's been a while!
I've done two pirouettes before in dance class, but that was a loong time ago!
goodness, I don't understand how the prep made THAT much of a difference but I got a double right away! :D
I started dancing last year, I can barely do two :/ Im watching these videos thinking I can hopefully be better before school if I practice enough!
haha i like the mother ginger music @ the end in the b/g
This is a pretty good video i finally got 10 pirauettes after about trying for 1 month!!!!!!!!!
Usually I could do a single. and a double but not as balanced. But when I watched this I went and did a double without wobbling or trying :). Going for my triple :)
Ya I do it different too!!
at my studio (all studios are different) we were told our back heel cant be off the floor. but thanks to this video I now understand why so many dancers prepare in parallel. not trying to say "no no thats bad" or anything its just different to me
these are soo easy..i can do three, usually! but sometimes two.
me ajudou muito
Muffin. I'm so jealous!! I can do 4 at most.
thx
oh my god it took me forever to get my double..going for a triple now!
que diva.
Rawr! I have to get my double in a little more than a week and so far I can only do a one and a half :P
wow! she makes the pirouttes like it were nothing! but It's SO difficult! ahahaha she's amazing! :D I wish someday I could do 3 o 4, but I just can do 1 or 2 :/
thanks for the inspiration! I'm 16 and thought I was too old to get into dance!!
Thanks, ive been looking for some tips for a while, mind you its probably more difficult on carpet with jazz shoes.
Thanks.
Git it gurl!
Here we are teaching a jazz pirouette hence the parallel prep. If the pirouette were turned out, we would instruct to keep the back heel down.
yeah that and ballet class and jazz class stuff like that it took a while esspessally after a suegery
Try that while juggling! i did that :P
Working on me quads
I'm exactly the same
Wow shes good.
it took me a few weeks to get mine down :) just keep trying and you will get it
I can only do one! lol! That's a good thing, I guess! :)
Wow Amy!!!
Its only my second year of dance and i/m working on two :)
@CheeryJadeRox well what i do is pretend there is a pole keep in me in place from th ceiling it sounds silly but it realy works also spotting your head is supper important and will keep you on balance :)
we have to prep with straight arms and we have straight arms at shoulder height (near your chest) for 1st position arms. These are the positions set by the exam board idta, not just my dance school.
try pulling up from the head and doing crunches to strengthen your core.
ME TOO!
nice nutcracker action in background of these videos. :)
omg i hear the nutcracker in the background!!! lol :))
wooow she did 4!!! i want to do 4 !!
LOL! haha! Im not the only one haha lots of you reacted on my comment! hahaha!
i do that in my jazz class! i can almost do a quad! so can my sister!
gosh..I knew a girl who could do a quad..she moved to washington..i can only do 2. I'm 13, and this girl who could do 4..she's 10. amazing dancer. I miss having her on my team :)
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT
Her quad was amazing! I might be the only one that thinks that because i thought a double was hard! lol
@sagedanceraustralia same here keep practicing and try to maintain your balance through the turn
during a turn you look to a point in the room as long as you can. Then you turn your head and you look again to the same place. That's spotting. If you don't spot you won't have a good balance and also get dizzy
oh thanks for the vid, tucking your stomach really helps.
@SWAGGAhPUff11
What helps me do turns is to think of my forehead and hands being in lined with one and other. Right now I'm working on doing 4 pirouettes
as far as i'm concerned the things that helped me the most are: hold your center aka your abs, spot your head and (really important) your standing leg has to be strong and straight because it's much harder to keep your balance on a bent leg
@MsServed88 a good way to balance is to go up on releve and have your right arch connected to your left knee as long as you can repeatedly. it will soon get a lot easier. another thing is the amount of pressure you put on your turn (how far you bend) if one, just slightly. if four, bend down a lot more. hope it helps (:
