[@edenhaasenritter1542]

[@nerdydancer1354]

"I don't consider myself a crazy turner" Casually does 6 pirouettes

[@ajnehanda6044]

I can’t even do multiple pirouettes without pointe shoes lol

[@Olivia-zd4ny]

Aj Nehanda tbh multiple pirouette on demi pointes are harder than en pointe

[@theturningtrio7156]

Isabelle yeah and my studio doesn’t allow canvas..... and leather has sooo much friction 😩😩

[@rebeccajones7326]

Same

[@georgiabailey2842]

[@ninareiner877]

I can do 5-7 not on pointe and 10-15 other turns

[@MsKayAlicia]

So I did the "pull out of your spine" trick for the entirety of class yesterday and my teacher would not stop complimenting me! Thank you so much for these tips! I had the BEST class ever since I started ballet back in August!

[@mariaroman5080]

The tip about pulling up is so true, my teacher is always reminding us to pull up, and it's REALLY helpful

[@francescaferraresi6951]

and then there’s me the one who is not able to even do two turns

[@journeeavalon]

Same

[@Penzie717]

You have so much control while I can just do about two and land like a potato

[@karaschoreo8188]

SAME

[@jeanienguyen1543]

the not bringing your arm out to the side in a prep is so helpful☺️I never thought about that before but literally trying that tip for the first time was already so successful

[@meghanmullaly]

When explaining “going up” I try to imagine that I’m a puppet and there’s one string pulling up though my core and back

[@meghanmullaly]

It really helps for me

[@sophial8690]

Thankssss!!this helped so much💕💕

[@mollyschottler]

That’s what my teachers always say! It rlly helps

[@biancamcflurry9206]

Everyone keeps telling me that, but it’s not helping. I don’t know what to do

[@oliviawindus8647]

@@biancamcflurry9206 for me i imagine like that i am on a pole or something s that i stay straight which usually means i pull up to stay on the pole idk if that makes any sense 😂

[@jessicaedwards8699]

Her: *does a pirouette* Me: That doesn’t look too hard Also me: *fails miserably*

[@goldunicorn4668]

Omg thx!! Did my triple in class! Never really happens💝💝

[@mollyschottler]

[@magicalandspecial9362]

[@amandahoward9842]

thank you so much for this!!! It’s so helpful and now I have a lot more confidence to do turns en pointe!!!💘you are such an amazing dancer!

[@lariahill347]

I'm trying some of these in class tomorrow and/or Saturday! Thank you so much!!!

[@emilylps_]

I'm in a dance school and started ballet this year (I'm more into jazz), so classes are quit difficult for me, also it's a professional training so our teachers are very strict, their advices are the same as yours however having it explained by a student who figured it out kind of alone and giving advices nicely - not like making you feel bad about your dance - is very helpful and precious, thank you for this video :)!

[@leileyking1544]

literally needed this so bad thank you 🤩

[@smillagrip]

I’m taking ballet classes and you are such an inspiration too me! Thank you for your videos! They really help me!❤️☺️

[@rubyclarke1151]

I liked before even watching!! Thank you so much this will be really helpful

[@tammyallagreen4272]

I have been a ballet teacher for many years and everything you are saying is what I have always taught my students. Glad to see when I say do it my way and I have excellent turners that I am correct. It worries me when I see teachers who just teach to turn anyway you can and not the correct way.

[@amadujalo6554]

You are such a inspiration i wish to be you when i grew up❤️(and the vid was so helpfull thanks)

[@t.q.quinn25]

The most I’ve ever done was four pirouettes ;-;..........in ballet slippers... I haven’t even gone en pointe yet, but I want to know before >:3. I go en pointe in about 5-8 months

[@ap9796]

Are you on pointe now ??

[@t.q.quinn25]

@@ap9796 yeah! Though I’m taking a small little break from ballet due to school work, but pointe is really fun and sometimes I dancing in pointe shoes sometimes lol

[@ap9796]

@tanime & art wow! That's so cool, I started on pointe this year too 🥰 but pointe shoes are exciting !

[@sophiaschnoebelen2661]

Your tips are super helpful!! Love ur channel btw!!!!

[@miguelrodriguezruiperez6457]

♥️Mackenzie thanks for creating these videos, which help me and motivate me to keep fighting for dance and my future♥️

[@lindseykelly8091]

The tip of piviting on the heels in 4th position and finding passe at the 1st quarter of the turn really helped me! I found that I felt more stable and was able to do a triple turn on flat. I cannot wait to try en pointe!!

[@meredithwalker4435]

I just got my double on pointe! This video was super helpful🥰

[@kayla_pac]

You are so helpful and inspiring!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@almayrazaitaniabalqis-c0254]

HOPE YOU WILL BE A GREAT COACH OR TEACHER ONE DAY 😍😍💖💖😭😭

[@bethanymihai9521]

i’ve never heard these tips and i’m really struggling with turns so i’m going to try these out! thank you so much :) xx

[@sophiacooke2977]

Yeh I do the same preparation as you and omg ur incredible! Ur turn at the beginning was just goals 😂

[@dm_0018]

I’m 16 and I just started ballet a year ago. Right now I’m in intermediate ballet. I’m not on point yet, I can only do one pirouette, if I try for a second I almost fall on my landing or I just get unbalanced . I’m gonna keep these tips in mind when I go to class. Thank you 😊❤️

[@gemmalally3832]

Idk how you are now but to get to a double it's just one extra head, so once you've done a single stay pulled up and do an extra head and you can start to get better xx

[@jacy36]

Be sure that in your turns you pull up and don’t change your position it helps to breathe in

[@happycatlemon4593]

I can only do 1.5 in ballet flats

[@trinj3323]

You are so talented ily

[@bettyavrami9364]

I loved it so much and we are waiting for the other video with the costumes ♥️♥️ Between I always wanted to do the bluebird variation

[@gracenunamaker1199]

[@sarah-luciakuiper7804]

This is so helpful, thank you 💗 a lot of teachers have been telling me the same things and that's why turning more than two don't really work 😅 especially with the arms!!

[@jelena-rl6yl]

love these videos in the basement, you're so good!!

[@liskeno370]

I am not a Ballett dancer but I hope that those tips will help me with my turns in jazz

[@Lina-uy9bx]

This is so helpful, thank you so much! Even tho I do jazz and not ballet it's still helpful for jazz pirouettes

[@EllaRose05]

Is it hard to dance on pointe on top of concrete? I feel like it would be hard on your feet/ankles but I’ve never tried so I never knew?

[@subswithnovideos-jk5vu]

Yes it hurts a lot I got cuts all over my toes bc I do it a lot

[@localmetalhead3483]

Well, for one, you should never be dancing in pointe shoes on concrete, that will ruin them. Two, pointe always hurts, no matter where.

[@dilenniarojas2350]

Love u ♥️♥️

[@vegaslights1681]

Thank you so much for this

I love how I don't ever do ballet but still watch all of your dance tutorials, like I find them so interesting, you're just such a beautiful dancer! P.s I've started making videos now if you wouldn't mind stopping by and watching one? Lots of love Mackenzie X

[@devlinadams4166]

💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃Awesome Tutorial & Video👋👍👍👍😀😀😀😀👍👍 Could you do an ballet shoe comparison video?? Thr difference between pointe shoe & ballet slipper. & how the shoes arch the foot differently. Thank💗You

[@elizabethg1604]

I want to get on pointe so bad!

[@xhyokanx6555]

Omah a wider stance really does help :00

[@teresaknudsen9973]

Wonderful turns and explanations:) This is what I found interesting. I noticed that your left foot is pointed above your knee, not at the knee or below the knee, as some teachers teach. A lot time ago, in dance class, I couldn't turn, but then when I put my foot higher, above the knee, I could turn better. However, the teacher corrected me, and told me to lower my pointed foot to below the knee. Again, my turns just were not happening. Maybe pointing the foot higher above the knee also helps keep backs straighter. Anyway, thanks for showing that pointing the foot above the knee is fine.

[@novaskyz7160]

🥇I’m actually just learning my pirouettes

[@marthovega4101]

I love you😍😍😍😍

[@PatriciaDeAnna]

Yes an open fourth position is recommended especially if you have hypertension.

[@jenna5308]

so, for first hack it is like fourth opisite first, but fourth opposite third?
