How To Do a Side Leg Hold Turn Tutorial and Demonstration from Just For Kix

[@dancer22197]

I love when dancers talkk.. we share the same language of dance(:

[@shanirideshorsesss]

i love these. I finally got mine

[@elissaabamba1056]

This really helped thank you!!

[@moiramenari]

thaaaaaanks!! it helped me a lot!! :)

[@devoteddramaqueen]

A really good exercise for this i s really just doing the same thing on the floor. Roll over to right side, one hand supporting, one above your head. Then, straighten one of your legs on the floor. The leg facing the ceiling should bend, then develop to your head. Be sure to keep it turned out.

[@MackenzieeBaaby]

what's the turn called when you keep one leg extended out by your hip & then turn ?

[@thedancinggymnast]

@lewis72 it's because a bar of music is normally 4 beats long, but dance is normally in phrases of 2 bars i.e. 8 beats. So the 5678 is to set the tempo of the dance and so people know when to start on the first beat.

[@georgepapanikolaou3201]

I'm assuming there is, but is there anything similar in dance to the "Memmel" in gymnastics? It's a double spin in a held split. And your foot is right in front of your face.

[@briasiaeversole]

i can tell that she is good at the dancing thing

[@BluedudeMF]

what leg do you grab 2 turn

[@2dancingfreaks]

how would you do it to the front? cuz thats the way re dance team teacher taught us but im still confused. could you make a video of that?

[@846cookie]

@Clara Foster I'm sorry I was giving the basic action not teaching a dance class. I'm not a dance teacher, I'm a student and stating how I was taught them. I find it easier to think about them like this. So please note, I know what fouettés are I've been dancing for 11 years, when your sub correcting people, don't be so rude about it? K thanks bye.

[@Veggie-tables]

ya thats what i've learned

[@lookytouchdown2271]

Which leg?

[@1SkyIsTheLimit1]

@lewis72 You are supposed to start doing the skill on 1 (the beginning of the eight count) so they give you 5-6-7-8 to give you preparation to do the skill like there was another 8-count before it. If they just started on one, you would be rushed to start and in large groups, everybody would be starting at different times.

[@shannonslameaccount]

She has my name! ^^ I will now try this......

[@lewis72]

@1SkyIsTheLimit1 Ah, OK. I guess that that makes sense. My sister's been doing dance for years and when I used to get dragged along years ago, I always wondered why the counting seemed odd. I was always into athlectics, so only had to deal with "On your marks - Get set - Go !"

[@Anadance]

I got it now!!!

[@lindaabed7797]

th looks easy in this vid!

[@live2singanddance]

I can do this now.

[@Anadance]

how do you spot looking down?I'm trying but it's hard

[@dansejenta98]

On my dance school we call it "legspinn" :D

[@lolbeezhere]

If you can your leg in the air regular this is goin to be easy!

[@jesse6388]

No, not necessarily. it also depend on your balance and pirouettes

[@MultiMikelover]

Im tryin so hard to get this down my ballet teacher says i need to strech more

[@kristen90alicia]

@Nicolee225 Lots of places have different names for things but we call them extension turns.

[@chrisohale5317]

i did it

[@raccoonxeyesxx]

@jumpaholic22 It's not just flexibility, but it's also about strength as well, and balance.

[@IHeartParamore13]

it looks easy when she does it but i bet its quite hard.. i wnana try it though :D

[@aleeDances]

yea thats the one i know how to do which in my studio we call it a leg grab turn but ive never seen i titlted(:

[@agyfrejacharl]

what is the spot?

[@allicatdancer]

Mine look like that... I think mine need a lot of improvement...

[@annaneal290]

i love it xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@clarafoster8514]

That is called an a la second turn.

[@vintagefacade9]

i think maybe they meant for people beginning to learn the turn, not beginners to dance all together :)

[@belluhhhx3]

@agyfrejacharl spotting is picking a spot in front of you, and making sure you watch it the whole time while you turn to keep your balance. look up spotting for dance and click the second video that comes up. it'll show you how to do it

[@cpayne4ever]

I'm felxible but i always fall out of it oh well i'll keep trying lol

[@PinkPjs26]

Yeah. At 0:28 she's REALLY holding her leg at a 90 degree angle.

[@SweetSugarLemonade]

I dont think that I can lift my leg that high up (yet)

[@clarafoster8514]

A fouette is a plie* crosse, open a la second. It only does half of a GRANDE ronde* de jambe en l'air*. A ronde de jambe en l'air is when the leg goes to passe then to second then back to passe. When correcting people, please know what you are talking about.

[@KayAlexandria283]

It's not all that bad, but it definitely wasn't the best, the turn needs to be more controlled and balanced. This was still helpful, though! =)

[@bunbacheso]

That's not the dance community!!!! That's the KZbin community! (No offense, KZbin.)

[@totally_aisha8010]

This is so long time ago

[@obscene77]

i think you're talking about a different leg holding turn

[@shinesprakleyglitter]

@surfingislovee it actually is pretty beginner

[@angelbaby233]

do you mean a pirouette?

[@kkdall123]

I did and I only cheer... Of course after 100 times of falling on my face (: But yeah it can be for beginners.

[@gabbiebrunette15]

God, I hate competition trick and turns, there is no technique going into this, no wonder the girl cannot perform the pirouette correctly, most of her central weigh (her pelvic area) is tilted completely to the side... Who could ever expect her to do this right? Even the preparation is a disaster, who preps in a SIDE LUNGE!?

[@846cookie]

*Fouette, and no It's not. A fouette turn is your leg going from pile,second, and then doing a rande de jambe mon lair. While spotting.

[@lewis72]

@hannahbanana6911 Haha, yes, I get it now. It's very impressive! Still, dancers can't run and runners can't dance (even though I reckon I can !)

[@diamondjohnson741]

she could barely hold her leg up while turning

[@lewis72]

Why do they start counting at 5 and not 1 ?? What sort of maths did these people learn, I mean 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ??

[@DominiqueZWilliams]

depends..... actually im nOt really a "beginner" only in my second year of jazz but im advanced went from rec to comp in 1 year and have good flexibility and turns so.... i guess i dont count but for people who hav never danced then ya far too advanced for beginners. AND NO I DIDNT TYPE THIS JUST TO BRAG I TYPED THIS AS I WAS THINKING IT SO KEEP ANY RUDE COMMENTS TO UR SELF

[@mikxoh]

you really don't need gymnastic experience to do this :] just get your splits and that's about it.

[@RandiRooBoo]

@nicolee225 battement turn(:

[@danceluvr817]

Why are you being so mean? If you wouldn't say something to her face.... It doesn't make it okay to comment it too her.

[@bdeca]

There wasn't anything fancy bout that

[@beedancey2059]

It's not a kick spin..it's a side isolation turn; kick spin your leg is in a bow and arrow position but with both hands on the foot. Get educated before you go around talking smack, or at least know what it's called. Have a nice day:)

[@HaydeeMary]

that was bad..she could've done 2

[@yungdras09]

Sorry but that wasn't a kick

[@Ksalinasp]

That was worse , mine is better.

[@aubreerodgers7525]

well she is like 40

[@jaimeecaley4339]

wtf was that

[@nikita22ification]

I bet you cant even lift your leg to your head

[@chantaedarroux5797]

So boring

[@JennaRomano]

i had to do this in my competition [; but i had to hold it much longer !
