How to do a pirouette

Hi guys,

Welcome back to my blog. Today I am going to teach you how to do a pirouette. A full list of photos of every stretch will be on my Instagram, @jujupage1. If you want to learn how to do a pirouette keep on reading:
  • We are going to go on the balls of our feet and turn them out all the way up to our hips. Our arms should be out to the side of us in second position. Our fingers should be slightly splayed. 
  • Then we're going to do a plié with our feet turned out. One foot behind another in fourth position and arms in a 90° angle opposite arm to leg. Make sure to stretch your arms all the way up to your finger tips. 
  • Then you want to go onto the ball of your foot, lift up and attach your big toe to the front of your knee. Your arms should be rounded nicely in front of you and your fingers nicely positioned. Here is what it should look like. 
  • You should turn on the opposite side to the leg that is up. Whip your head around quickly and spot on the same point in the room to achieve a nice pirouette. 
Keep practicing. Turning is essential in dance and the more you work on it, the better you'll get! 

Did you get your pirouette? Leave a comment down below letting me know.

Hope you've enjoyed this post,

See you next time,

Bye,
