Am I the only one here that's trying to spin without falling? Like how do I balance on an arch foot without falling?

[@emeralds.760]

Try to spot (keep your eye on one thing and spin your head around a bit faster than the rest of you) and practice balancing on releve for longer than you take to do a pirouette. You can use the barre at first, but once you're more used to it you should be fine. Practice, practice, practice! Hope this was of some help ❤️

[@truvy_5544]

Right and my feet flat so I be tightening my leg

[@noshititskrae]

Ab muscles

[@jackiemederi4503]

She says in the video, it's about using the momentum from the arm change and the foot coming up. So you have to do it all in quick succession. And keep your core very tight like another commenter said. The teacher says in the video as well if you do some crunches before doing this it helps to train your core to engage for the pirouette.

[@lillianna11487]

Ikr

[@drawmystory9124]

For anyone struggling with double pirroutes: doubles are so easy once you actually get it! It’s ok if it takes long just do these they are my favourite tips: 1. spot something and keep your eyes on it the entire time 2. Count DOWN from how many you want to do, if you want to do two you count in your head 2,1 (still spotting your spot. 3. Land into fourth position ALWAYS to get used to it. Hope you get your pirouette!

[@shubhramishra8698]

how is there no friction between your foot and the ground when you turn? like if i do this barefoot, i just can’t turn, so i have to do this in socks

[@inarakhannn]

Izzy H Yeah it rlly depends on the kind of floor. But sometimes ballerinas put rosin or something on their feet to do their turns 🦶🏼

[@lunapeeps8929]

Holo There Rosin is to prevent slipping, not to help you turn.

[@alexandriajamie8883]

in the dance world we have things called turners! they are basically tight half socks that are meant for turns :)

[@riashetty]

My feet skin start peeling off and I feel like there's gonna be fire.

Shubhra Mishra you must keep your feet in socks because you have to have something slippery for you to actually do the pirouette as I have learned

Everyone coming here from dance moms: Me who wasn't paying attention in dance class: ..... The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal: BEEP. A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound: DING. Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.

For anyone who is unmotivated because they never worked on flexibility until they were older, I started stretching when I was 23 and couldn't even touch my toes. Lol.

[@nicolepretorius2637]

@@issyrosenthal9100 thank you I really appreciate it 😊

[@samantarizzi248]

I was taking dance classes (hip hop and Latin american dances) for around 8 years (since I was 7 or 8 until I was almost 16), then I quit because of financial reasons (mostly- there was some other shit happening at home), I was so frustrated at the world (teenage years can be difficult) so angry and felt disappointed at myself for quitting. I started partying hard until I stopped and got back into dancing when I was around 22 or 23. I’m 25 right now thinking about signing into dance academy (going to audition next year). My dream is to form a girl group in similar style as the pussycat dolls (without any singing probably though) and to just have fun with it! So it’s never too late to pursue your dreams!! I’m finishing school to be an esthetician so I could also work an get paid because with only dancing here in my country you don’t really go far in financial sense. But I love dancing so that’s what I’ll do! 😊

[@DD-zp8zb]

After strengthening my core, legs and practicing standing on one leg, pirouette is the next step to improving my balance. Your step by step instruction shows the building blocks needed to safely execute the spin. As a person in my 70s, working on and maintaining good balance is critical and your video will get me there.

Back foot doing to same towards the back Pirouette = Spinning on your tip toes and trying not to fall Arobasc = Fancy dance move but this time we are using only the arms for this Breathe = use your lungs to take in oxygen to not die This is all I got

But my mum says she thinks it’ll be hard because if I wanna start from the bottom I’ll be with people not my age at all, but if I’m with people my OWN age, I won’t be up to their level because they will have had years of dance.
