Improving Pirouettes en Dedans | Kathryn Morgan

Today's technique tip is about improving those tricky inside en dedans pirouettes. These turns are some of the hardest in ballet due to the placement of the turn. I talk about hip placement, using your shoulders, gaining momentum, and how to utilize both legs in the turn.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I have a performance tomorrow and I have a double in the piece. I kept falling back and the teacher gave me a GIANT lecture on confidence and go for it and threatened to change the dance if I couldn't do it. I just leaned my weight forward and did 4 perfect doubles in a row. THANK YOUUUUUU! I just hope the show tmrw goes well.

[@dorisa232]

How did it go?(i know it was like 8 months ago but still) :)

[@feistchen9498]

Thank you Kathryn! I find your technique videos very helpful! I've just mastered my en dehors turn (only a single one, but I'm really pumped :D) and now I want do achieve doing en dedans turns because I always have struggles with it. Greetings from Austria!

[@madelinelui175]

This video is very helpful, thank you so much!

[@shianlichiam9654]

Thank you Kathryn!!! I love this video so much! 30-40% immediate improvement!

[@LenaLovingLotta]

great Video! I'm really struggling with turns on pointe. I'm afraid of it because I think I can't hold myself on pointe (but I can-when we are doing pointe excercises I can hold myself great on pointe) and I feel like falling over. Any Tips for me? Greetings from Germany

[@inesdecastrocorreia]

My real problem is doing double/multiple en dedans pirouettes by fifth... I never have enough momentum to do the double.. Any tips on that??? (sorry if there are any mistakes)

[@OlaDiGeronimo]

Inês Correia same!

[@Xebeche5]

I believe the problem is in the swing. It must be with focus and ebergy, don't forget the back leg.

[@laylanahar]

Kathryn, this is fantastic, thank you!

[@lauraCP2909]

Hi, I really love your videos are very helpful, could you make a video about help with grand jumps like grand jete or grand jete en tournant? I need some tips for my presentation, is the first time that I am the protagonist and I need to improve my jumps please!

[@1Stardust00]

how often should I practice my turns?

[@ariark56]

I’m jealous of the commenters who can do en dedans without falling

[@Jacqueline17678]

Can you please make a video on stretches for dancers who are already really flexible. I can do the splits (and an ok over split), but I want to be able to lift my leg past my head. Any advice?

[@rawnaqa7609]

Anna Mccnulty vids

[@betsykirkland418]

What does it mean if it is backwards for someone? en Dedans being MUCH easier than en Dehors? Is there something alignment, or weight distribution related?

[@jiayi5211]

well 50% of my class like en dedan turns more so I don't think it means anything too important

[@amandastevens1117]

En dedan is easier for me, could there be a specific reason why?

[@p3drogil]

Same here

[@yeseniadejesus9472]

I learned en dedans as a kid so it feels more natural.

[@underscore_exclamationmark2180]

This vid is just what I was looking for! I was wondering if you would do a video focusing on Port De Bras? I have issues with keeping the arms going with the legs during long combinations, its so frustrating my brain just shuts off.

[@pinkelley]

Hello Katie, recently, I'm able to do a double pirouette, but I have trouble to keep my spot. Do you have any advice? Love your videos! ♥︎

Thank you Katie❤️

[@eimearmannion8775]

Hi Kathryn I'm currently in grade 3 and we have an exercise on pada cha sorry if this is spelt incorrectly I am very tall for my age and getting my legs up and landing is a problem if you could give any tips or maybe a video it would help so much I think your amazing and you inspire me xx

[@anythingunderthesun4005]

Great videos, your a great inspiration to me

[@aclaar877]

I'm trying to diagnose my problem and apply counterbalance technique, but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I can usually do one turn, but then my back leg falls out at the "4 o'clock" position when I turn counterclockwise. And the left leg will fall out at the 8 o'clock position when I turn to the right. I've tried leaning into the turn and away from the turn, and neither one seems to work. Eager to try the extended leg and "flat hips" suggestions though. Anyway, great channel and I appreciate your workouts and tips.

[@DancingBreahn]

Could you please do a Stila palette or all makeup palette review? That would be so amazing!

[@kayleedombrowski4081]

do you have any tips for dealing with a bad tendon in the foot and any tips on how to present yourself while still having good technique?

[@kortnijagurtlava3811]

are you planning to get back into professional ballet any time soon? love your videos :)

[@ingrossa]

Kortnija Gurtlava I think she said in an FAQ that's she's busy auditioning or was thinking about it and that she'd update us in due time. So I think she's certainly thinking about it :).

Te amo! Gracias 🌸

[@nicolemtetwa23]

I find it difficult to go around for my double pirouettes and I don't know where I am going wrong, help?

[@nicole-zt5vt]

The thing i have trouble learning is to do multiple fouettés at a time. I watched ur video on that but it didnt help could u plz help me?

[@슈슈-e1d]

삐루엣 잘하고 싶어요 ~

[@rebeccab2417]

Can you tell me why so many people feel that en dedans are so much more difficult? I find them way easier. Thanks!

[@ariark56]

Rebecca B i think I’m just used to en dehors. Every time I try en dedans I fall backwards.

[@tinayu3505]

I think as you are turning en dehor, your back leg engages in pirouette position when your body already turned half a turn so your leg travels less, when en dedans you back leg has to travel extra to get to pirouette position, if that makes sense

[@amberann7784]

I'm really confused on the difference between dedans and dehors. Please help?

[@Phoenixhunter157]

Amber Annie I'm new to ballet but I believe en dedans- you turn towards the non passé leg. So if you're lifting your left leg in passé, you turn to the right. In en Dehors, you turn toward the passé leg. So if you lift the left leg in to passé , you turn to the left, etc. :)

[@jaydyn_ayres7928]

en dedans means inside turn to the inside of you en dehors means outside turn to the outside of you

[@singer2be256]

Is it still an en dedan if I only get around once? If not, what is it called when you only get around once?

[@ZoeHeil]

how are you not at one million!!?

[@abc-yg6tk]

21 000 views and no dislikes. I have never seen this happen on youtube.

[@DeviVanhon]

I struggle with en dedans pirouettes starting from 5th position.

[@lygiamoura7416]

Funny, I've always found pirouettes en dedans much easier than en dehors! Are you on a diet?

[@elietheshark1497]

Lygia Moura, same, I've never me anyone who agrees!

[@tingnixoxo]

I can't do a double!! Can you help?!

[@katiethurston4790]

I need tips for spotting.

[@nizellebalingit9663]

arent you supposed to start off with both feet in 4th and doing a plié because thats what my teacher told me and shes a company memeber from sab or maybe im just wrong xD pls help :)

[@HollyGoulet]

Can you do a video on en dedans pirouettes from 5th?

[@kathryn_morgan]

+Holly Goulet YES! I dread those, so we will do it! Haha so difficult

[@yoginiHao]

@@kathryn_morgan I know this was an old post but I am struggling with continued en dedan turns from 5th, in Emerald. If you made a video of it, kindly point my way :)

[@morgan_-sn6pp]

Do you have a ballet studio in ur house?

[@czazy_me196]

Lol! I find En Dehors more harder😂 #Leftie

[@simonakourilova5984]

How tall you are?

[@emillyzalayet6353]

I find en dedans much easier actually.

[@nizellebalingit9663]
