thank you thank you thank you!!! the way you explain turns is so easy to understand and apply. I’m just starting to dance again and your channel has helped me so much! almost every other channel I have found is so strict and uptight, but you’re so easy to follow!

Excuse me, can you tell me What's different between "ballet pirouettes" and "fouettés"?

[@bella-hz6qf]

I love how you teach. My ballet teacher is so impatient and doesn’t care about how you feel. You are so calm and step-by-step material. You take it slow, and you’re so patient and I appreciate you!❤️ Be my new ballet teacher please, lol.

[@luciatrstanova8911]

its a vid tutorial it have to be step by step, some teachers are not impatient they just want people to learn fast, many pro companies do that, i went to an audition and ty just showed choreo once and that was it, you should pick up fast, you know some people have it and some dont, try to take notes, make your way to get what your teacher wants and look for it at home in slooow qiuet how long you need, maybe even on Auties channel :)

[@omnom7104]

The à la seconde turns were very difficult, I had to practice 2 hours each day for 3 days. It was exhausting, but I got them so I'm happy. Thank you so much, without this I wouldn't have gotten the à la seconde turns.

You got them in 3 days only 😱

[@toluca8371]

I'm 18 and feel betrayed by my family for not putting me in dance classes when I was a kid despite having natural rhythm, musicality, and a desire to perform (that sounds pretentious, I promise it's not). Now I'm a minimum wage full time food service employee getting ready for college (funded by Financial Aid), trying to pursue my desire to dance on my own. This tutorial is fantastic, and I've seen lots of turn tutorials (turntorials?), but this one really helped me the most. So thank you so much for this.

Did you tell theme you wanted to dance? Maybe they could not afford it? If they just did not let you dance for no reason, yes. You’ve been betrayed

[@abigailcraig4247]

I feel that. We were really poor when I was younger, and everybody knew I wanted to dance. I used to dance in my living room since I was like 3. Now I’m just waiting till I’m able to make money and put myself in dance classes

Not a dancer or gymnast, but i've become determined to learn how to do a à la seconde, so i'll be practicing this at least once a week!

I'm an absolute adult beginner ballet & jazz dancer. Your video is very helpful. Thanks for the explanation about the ribs. I never knew what that meant. Thanks !

[@phebe5226]

donna marie how did u get started in adult ballet? Like do you go to a studio? Im thinking of starting ballet but idk where to begin

[@donnamarie6840]

@@phebe5226 I never took ballet as a child. I did take a few classes in college. Then I didn't take a ballet class for many years. Then I joined my local YMCA. They have a terrific dance teacher and I started to take his ballet and Jazz class. He also just started a Salsa class ! The ages in the class are from 30s to 70s ! After about a year I started to supplement these YMCA classes with dance schools in NYC that have absolute beginner ballet classes. You can use Yelp to see classes and reviews in your area. Search Adult beginner ballet classes and your area code. You can also try that search in Google. Good luck.

I have no idea why anyone feels they need to give a thumbs down. Keep up the great videos ♥️

I have been trying to execute this turn for a long time. After watching your tutorial and trying for 20 mins or so, I was able to do 3!! It made me very happy!! Thank you very much for the clear explanation. You have my vote for Shorty Awards. All the best!

[@itsokaysie]

i decided to learn how to do this one night in my kitchen and you really helped! i still cant do it just because im not very flexible and not a dancer or gymnast i use to be but then i gave up and stuck to singing because it fits me better but you really helped thank you!!!!

[@lianadurand2103]

I was struggling with à la seconde turns. I was falling, tripping, hitting the walls, and had no balance. I practiced during months and months and found this video. Your content is motivating me even more and helps me to do turns. Now, I am still practicing my turns, but can do 2 or 3 à la seconde turns. Thanks for being so positive and for giving so many advices!

[@Mia-qo7cy]

Thank you soo much!!! I got my first fouettes in less than 30 minutes (even wobbly tripples😂)! I'm so happy right now💖💖

[@Michelle-eo5zv]

I'm actually self thought in all of my turns and I didn't watch any tutorials on how to do them when I started. I only watched full choreographed dances and just tried it myself. Watching tutorials now to fix them and I do actually do a lot of the steps right.

[@julieng5776]

Thanks for helping me get my first ever double pirouette!

[@lyly1913]

Wow I couldn’t of done these without this video. Before I tried and kept falling, but by knowing the steps I was able to do a few by myself

[@languageresources2314]

That closing your ribs tip is priceless. I kept tipping over before understanding that and haven't lost my balance since adding that to my turns. Thank you very much for your incredible step by step explanation. Most other channels just go "fourth, prep, and turn" but don't tell you any of the issues you may be having that don't allow you to actually turn...

[@freakofmind]

Thank you a tonnn!!!! You are the guru of turns! I was inspired by DANCE MOMS, and couldnt do it with any other tutorial, but did in yours!

3:19 the perfect pirouette

[@not_all2gether]

I've been on a competitive dance team for six years, about to start the seventh. My middle school coach never bothered to teach us any more than a pirouette because we didn't have auditions for anything below high school level. I was completely terrified of a la secondes and fouettes but you make it so much easier to understand!

[@alexandrawest1344]

This is the best a la seconde tutorial I have ever seen.

you’re an amazing teacher! thank you very much for this video, you’re helping a lot of people including me

[@jaymechelle]

During this Pandemic I hope to continue to practice my turns using this video😩❤️ and others but you make everything make sense. I’m always falling out of my Pirouettes, I can’t do turns in second , so during this time , I hope to train at home , work on my flexibility, and gain strength in my calf’s, stomach, just my whole body so I can get these turns. My freshman year in college I auditioned at Alabama state university for the Stingettes (you can look them up) and sadly I didn’t make the team and I spent my whole freshman year sad and feeling not good enough to ever make the team again . I knew in the back of my mind I wasn’t going to make it because I didn’t have my pirouettes, turns in second , leaps in second , and other leaps. All I had was flexibility. I was on the dance team at my school in Highschool but the team didn’t focus on technique . I wanted to quit the team my senior year and join ballet classes so I’d be ready for auditions but I’m pretty sure you know that being on a dance team is expensive so my mother didn’t let me quit because she payed too much money already. Summer before college auditions I wanted to take ballet classes and quickly learn but we couldn’t afford it, I took like 4 classes and just from that my parents were struggling to pay for the classes and even would pressure me and get mad at me by saying things like “ you better make this team” . So time was up and I still went to auditions and didn’t make the team , I was so intimidated by the other girls because they had everything VS me. I tried to self teach on KZbin before auditions but it was had . But I’m going to continue to look at KZbin videos and self teach. I am a great dancer , I have the energy and can pick up Choreo, I have flexibility, but no technique . You can check @so.thatsjay on Instagram ❤️❤️ . I’m going to keep praying and trying !!
