Two ways to do priouette en dedans & exercises to prepare

It is so important to teach younger students in this specific manner, which follows the Vaganova method. The leg goes to a la seconde before bringing in everything for the pirouette. Providing them with exercises as they develop their muscle strength is crucial.

super clear. i'm no balletter, but this and the "en dehors" video helped me immensely to begin to unlock both turns, as well as illusions. and i'm 58. cheers.

[@robertsfarzo760]

I love the energy generated from a la seconde to retiré.

[@KimberlyJohnson81]

The vaganova method seems more logical for many reasons, but especially for dancers executing this turn en pointe.

[@shelleysanders9666]

Though my teacher was British (RAD teaching) she taught this pirouette in this way (plus different head positions per Vaganova when legs extended to the front or back)

[@larissakapp9284]

I‘m also teaching the second option, because the students understand this turn so much better that way… thank you for your videos!

[@celinepuppe4564]

I just recently found your account and subscribed! Now watching a few videos daily just to understand more of the foundations of every movement. I really love your videos, they are short, and are fast forward to the topic. So I can watch easily some videos in a row and learn more. The explanations are easy to understand and follow. Thank you Mr. Du!!!

[@runqiao_du]

Thank you so much!

[@georginareid3828]

[@cynthiapham9779]

Let me just say I love how you teach and your knowledge of ballet technique coupled with your explanations are exceptional. I have a a question about the above video: Are you in a croise 4th in the pirouette prep or full enface? My students start from a croise but I have them spot enface. I have found when I have the students plie in a la second before the turn they do a multitude of mistakes which effects the outcome of the turn. Is there an ideal height I could tell the students to place the leg in a la seconde? These are students that have not been trained by me. They swing the leg side from the back and miss a true side position with the leg more forward than it should be. They lift the leg too high in a la second and it disrupts the placement of the leg into a clean and quick retire, they turn -in the leg in a la second (lose turn-out) and sail around with the knee more forward and the pelvis tilted back. The leg is too low to the side and pulls them off center in their plie which pulls them off balance for the turn. They open the preparation arm too much going into the turn. They twist the hips towards the back leg and also sink into their lower back or they tilt the torso sideways over the front leg. They don't keep a forward momentum needed to place correctly. For these students I found something from another teacher I have been using. Sort of between the 2 methods you show above. That teacher has them plie in the retire position leading into the turn. This gives them momentum forward and helps place the standing knee over the foot so when they releve they are better balanced. Have you ever seen a student do it this way with a plie in retire instead of a la second. I have a group of students ready to learn dedan turns and I am going to use your barre exercise. By the way, I use your dehor pirouette exercise where they tendu back the inside leg, plie in 4th, 1/2 turn dehor (knee immediately to the side) and close front. I call it the Mr. Du Pirouette practice.

Thanks that’s helpful!

[@ritaspencer7541]

That's so interesting. I will try that

[@bluebirdmacaje]

You are a treasure bless h

[@J3st3r42]

Technically going thru 2nd is more of a fouette. It's called Tire-buchon and a lot more force is generated. I teach both but a normal en dedan is preferred before moving on to thru 2nd.

[@danzavirtual]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@walterinotiziana]

Buongiorno, potrebbe spiegarmi le pirouettes tire- bouchon? C'è molta confusione su questo argomento. Grazie Maestro

[@jayque]

English syllabus also to a la second first. It's so much better.

[@misaelcrespo9441]

Please, help me Master... Pase must stay forward or behind? Somebody told me that i was wrong, 'couse because i put forward My passe...

Quien ha subtitulado en castellano tiene el mismo conocimiento de la lengua castellana que del vocabulario de ballet. Es decir NINGUNO

[@yadirahidalgo1]

Quizás es porque la traducción es a español y no a francés, y usa ambos, pero cuando cambia los términos sí se logra comprender. Es un detalle de youtube solamente, lo importante es la explicación de este excelente maestro.

[@maracmallen]

@@yadirahidalgo1 lo que dices no tiene ningún sentido. En ballet TODOS los términos siempre y en todas las escuelas (Vaganova, cubana, francesa, italuana o Royal) son en francés. Aquí falla la traducción al castellano, no los nombres de los pasos

[@frankbove4160]

Totally wroing dude . Most of your young students have so much difficulty with second position and Vagonova is always forced usually not truly placed. Your young students going to that second position is not taught. You show that barre preparation, but start with a tendu not aht barre exercise

[@mechez774]

Wroing is wrong, but not totally, just partially. :)
