Thanks for the tip! He teaches foundation, basics, principles - this is the cornerstone of to be a good dancer.

[@runqiao_du]

Thank you so much!

[@gracebuskell]

Very generous of you to share your tips

[@ToniMg4u]

It makes more sense and logical to begin from plie than on passe or retire...It not only gives u a better starting point but adds power to multiple turns.. Love how u broke it down into steps and simple quarter turns.. Can't wait for the next one Maestro!!.. ✌️❤️😎🙏👍🙏

[@andrewnorton6921]

super clear. i'm no balletter, but this and the "en dedans" video helped me immensely to begin to unlock both turns, as well as illusions.

Hello. I have always panicked to do turns en pointe, so I avoided them. This tip was the best thing I have ever found to feel more secure. I feel much more confident now. Thank you. Greetings from Madeira (Portugal)

Dudeee. This info is invaluable!!! I love the internet lol. 10 15 years ago this would be $500 masterclass. And rightfully so. But now people like me who don't have access to things like this get to learn all this information for free. So generous of all masters of dance who so graciously give us at home learners legit masterclass advice. I love dance so much. Ballet so much . I will become such a better dancer through youtube university lol

I’ve only recently just found your videos and Oh my god learnt more than I ever have in my life. Definitely continuing watching vids for techniques

[@dorisliu6939]

[@carlotafrancopp]

Clear explanations and excellent examples, to achieve good results. as usual. How important is your contribution! Thank you Mr. Du.

[@runqiao_du]

Many thanks for your kind words!

Thank you for this excellent exercise at the barre to achieve the torque muscle memory in endehors turns. I will do this exercise in my lower level classes next week. I do have a question about the placement of the foot in retire, where is it placed for lower level students and does it change for intermediate/ advanced students. Thank you very much.

[@MrMutabazi]

very very very coach, the serious and his speech is wonderful

[@shelleysanders9666]

This is totally ingenious! I’ve always lost my balance in pirouettes.. I’ve learnt SO much from his videos. (My teacher, tho British (RAD), taught us adult beginners some nice Vaganova touches as he describes elsewhere - head positions & how to do pirouette dedans with leg sweeping to 2nd)

[@AlexSmith-fs6ro]

Excellent. I am to improve my salsa and tango turns. I just need to adapt what your technique. Thank you.

[@marcia-elizabeth2452]

This is an exceptional lesson. It's so simple and clear. And it makes so much sense. Thank you. This was exactly what I needed to develop turning technique.

[@amirasanchez2272]

[@K_ballet]

Thanks! Was there ever a part 2 to this video?

[@Danceandmoreful]

Very good clear explanation when you start your turns endehors from the 4th position. From the 5th it's another story

[@pfatwork7056]

[@themovinganna1948]

awesome tips!

[@runqiao_du]

Thanks so much!

[@juanmanuelgranadosdavila4984]

How many times have I done the traditional exercise of "climbing" the passé en relevé (with or without a bar) from the front without turning? . This teacher's pedagogy has its logic, what is repeated the most is what is done best, right?👍

[@TraciMann]

Bravooooo!!!

[@Swan-world1010]

Thank you thank you

[@susanwilturner2641]

Stations do you have any KZbin on jumps from Giselle some people call the Italian changement?

[@danielaoliveira8281]

Question: where do you place the weight in preparation?

[@alessandragiampieri8203]

Thaks❤

[@Poppy-]

Tsss totally make sense and I was always told en face. Does it work as good for en dehors and en dedans?

[@runqiao_du]

What I was talking about is en dehors turns, when doing en dedans turns, you must leave the knee behind, and pushing the supporting heels forward. I think I will make a video about en dedans turns.

[@Poppy-]

@@runqiao_du thank you very much. You help me decipher those little things that no one else told ys about, especially in adult classes (which are often considered more as a hobby and not serious techniques)

[@yuetmengkhoo1766]

Some teachers want us to spring a bit before we turn😅
