Anaheim Ballet: More Than Dance... 3 Simple ballet pirouette turning exercises with Charlie Andersen of the Royal Danish Ballet. Enjoy! ballet ballet ballet...
I love the idea of the one friend turns-and then you turn- thing. It's a simple concept but I can see how playing that game with someone would be great practice for both parties involved! (Competitive & Fun). This video definitely got me inspired to practice turns.
Thank you! :D I just got a ballet bar installed into my house and turns are my weakest point, I will for sure at lease be doing the bar excersise. As a male dancer, it pushes me so much more to see what I COULD become if I keep working at it. Thanks again.
Ive noticed I get dizzy easier when I'm spotting in the mirror because its shows the whole room there's to much to look at I do better spotting the corner or something on the wall at eye level
Thankyouthankyouthankyou!! I'm doing auditions next year and with my professor's help and my own personal training tips I'm picking up from places like Anaheim Ballet, I feel like I'm going to be ready. :)
that was exactly how I learned to pirouette from 4th. I think the best concept is to take your time in the beginning to really make sure your alignment and technique are perfect for those 1/4 turns. This way you build better muscle memory.
I had an excellent teacher who taught us to keep our weight really on the forward foot while prepping in 4th for a pirouette. At first it feels a bit farther forward than you might think you should be. But when you pull up from that place, the stability/centeredness is amazing.
OHMYGOD the amazing thing is before i watched this video, i was like falling out in all of my pirouettes, and after i watched it for 30 secs and paused and it tried again, and i actually did one with controll !!!!!!!
My friend went to Anaheim Ballet's Summer Intensive. She told us that the floors are amazing and she normally can do a double sometimes a triple and there she could do more. I definitely want those floors at my studio!
very helpful!!! i like the fourth turn practice. My problem is getting both my legs to land exactly in 4th position and i think working on the 1/4 turns with retire/posse' will help. thanks Charlie and Anaheim ballet!!!
This is sooooo amazing ! These guys are so talented. I don't even understand how it's physically possible to do 5 pirouettes. XD I've managed 3, but I don't think I'll get any better ! Pirouettes are not part of the things I love doing, though. But when I see a video like this... Makes me want to practise more !
definitely adding this to my favorites!
Yes! I logged as I was literally walking out the door to my ballet class :) now, I know what to do when I first get there! Thank you Anaheim

His alignment (especially between the torso and standing thigh) is flawless in those quarter turns.

Thanks again.
"And eventually...Charlie turns"
XD
ha! "Charlie turns" :D
Am I the only one trying hard to "spot" but still get dizzy? T_T I always lost balance while pirouette..any tips for me?T_T
Ive noticed I get dizzy easier when I'm spotting in the mirror because its shows the whole room there's to much to look at I do better spotting the corner or something on the wall at eye level
And if I notice I'm losing balance in my turns its usually because my muscles aren't engaged and my back is arched to much hope that helps
i spot well it really needs a lot of focus and don’t spot something too far away
MEEEE!
thanks sooo much! I have dance soon so I will try these excersises when I get there!
wow Charlie is wonderful!
Them: "Pfftt, double pirouettes are so easy *hair flick*"
Me: *Falls over after one and a half turns* -_______-
He's a very gifted turner!
this will be really useful, I'm learning how to do pirouettes and I really needed this :)

I find a lot of people get stuck on three and two (myself included). Can't wait to practice these exercises!
