    Here are my tips for achieving multiple pirouettes. Dancers always want to do triple turns consistently, so there are a few things you need to know. We talk about spotting, your shoulders helping the turn, and how your brain is a big part of pirouettes. Just go for it!

    Yesterday I did 5 double pirouettes, was SO happy. But now I literally just cannot get around for some reason. I'm trying to recall what I did differently yesterday but I remember anything :(. When I go too fast I lose balance, and when I go slow I can't get around. I keep telling my brain positive things but it just doesn't work. I'm devastated right now as yesterday they seemed so easy.

      try inhaling when you turn and exhale on the prep. also, instead of saying “1, 2, 3”, try counting “AND, 1,2” so it tricks your brain into thinking you’re doing less when you’re doing more

    • @juanjosefarina
      @juanjosefarina Před 6 lety +1

      It would be a quite long and hard to understand video... Easiest parts are understanding "pas" meaning a piece of choreography and then the numbers "deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six", etc. meaning how many dancers are in the piece. Entrée meaning the entrance, adagio meaning the slow dance, allegro being the faster dances and coda being the ending part of something (as in music). But then again you need to know about white act, romanticism, classicism, what's a scene, what's an action, why pas d'action, and a huge lot of more information. You would have to study everything from 1500 to at least 1925 (if you wanna talk about classical ballet).

    • @kathryn_morgan
      @kathryn_morgan  Před 7 lety +27

      I would really use your back. I had long uncontrollable arms as well, but once I focused on using my back instead (even in turns) I was able to stabilize. So when you turn, focus on being really strong through your entire back and core. That should help!

    @justcogitating Před 4 lety +2

    Two tricks that helped me with double pirouettes:
    1) I used to have trouble keeping my spot for the second pirouette. My teacher would hold up fingers and as I was turning I had to shout out how many fingers she was holding up. She would change the number in between. It meant I really had to look at the spot.
    2) Hold a small piece of paper in your turning hand (the outside hand) and by the end of the pirouette it has to be in your inside hand. This really helped me with fixing my arms and getting around faster.

    • @Tintenfischchen
      @Tintenfischchen Před 7 lety +2

      Don't worry too much. You're only twelve years old, probably just started puberty, the hormones are all over the place... that can be very confusing.
      It's normal to question your gender and sexual orientation at that age. That doesn't mean you're transgender.
      You could be, sure, but it's very unlikely since less than 1% of the population actually are transgender.
      Personally, I would just wait a few month and see if anything changes. Don't try to be a girl, don't try to be a boy. Just do and wear what you feel like doing and wearing at the moment.
      Think about if it's really worth it though, if you really want it that bad, for example cutting your hair.
      Is it that important to you that you're willing to accept the consequences, e.g. your ballet teacher getting mad at you for cutting your hair really short..? You're the only one who knows what's right for you at the moment.
      I personally don't think you have to cut your hair. Lots of boys and men have long hair, lots of girls and women have short hair, so your hair style doesn't define your gender. It's your decision though.
      If you still feel like you may actually be a boy inside after a few months and everyone seeing you as a girl really bothers you, talk to your doctor. He can refer you to a doctor or therapist who specializes in the treatment of gender identity disorder and gender dysphoria.
      It might take some time, but eventually you will figure everything out, so don't freak out now. What you're experiencing right now is absolutely normal for your age. In most cases those feelings go away after a short period of time, only in less than 1% of the cases those feelings will stay the same or even intensify.
      When I was thirteen I was absolutely, 100%, sure that I'm homosexual. Now I'm in my mid-20s and I've been in a relationship with a man for over six years now. I still like girls, but I also like boys (although I didn't realize that until I had my first crush on a boy when I was 15), so I'm bisexual.
      I know that now and I also know that you can't be 100% sure that your feelings about gender and sexual orientation won't change when you're still going through puberty.
      Puberty is the time where you experiment and slowly figure out who you really are. It's confusing and not being sure about anything can be very annoying, but finding yourself can also be fun :)

    • @jellybean9382
      @jellybean9382 Před 7 lety

      Caitlin Weber you need to know that there will always be someone who won't accept you, and learn that they don't matter, as long as you're happy with who you are. I've known I was a lesbian for 3 years or so, and I've learnt that my happiness is more important than my fear, but my girlfriend hasn't yet, and is worried about what other people would think, so we have to keep it secret. Just remember that it will get better, and you will understand with time. Don't jump to conclusions, and learn to be proud of yourself for who you are, when you're sure.

    • @kathryn_morgan
      @kathryn_morgan  Před 7 lety +2

      Caitlin - I agree with what the others are saying. Just be yourself! I KNOW it can be difficult but try not to worry about everyone else. Take your time in figuring this out - you are still young! In class, focus on improving your technique. It's the same for either male or female dancers - they need to have strong technique. So focus on that, and just be yourself. The rest will definitely come! Just don't forget why you love ballet in the first place!

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! I used to be horrible at even doing one turn, but now this taught me to do a double. Now I'm working on a tripple. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!

    This year I am working really hard to get a clean pirouette and start on my doubles! My instructor thinks I'll be ready for pointe in a year so I am going to work really hard on my turns and clean placement

  • @biff5856
    @biff5856 Před 2 lety

    This is the best I've seen, for me at least. I do mostly basic ballet at home for myself. It has really improved my ice skating too. I can do a credible balance, so I'd like to try to master 2 turns. I harbor no illusions, however I'm a senior.

  • @aclaar877
    @aclaar877 Před 7 lety

    I've been waiting for a video like this - thank you! Can't wait to try the shoulder suggestions. I'm a guy who struggled with pirouettes for years and I'm just now getting some consistency in my single turns. So far the best tip that has worked for me has been focusing on the toe/knee/hip/shoulder alignment and thinking of it as a vertical turning axis.

    I’m so mad I landed a double pirouette three times but when I tried to get a video I couldn’t do it! My dad saw it once so I at least have a witness but that was frustrating

  • @desoulworm720
    @desoulworm720 Před 4 lety +1

    Omg this helped so much , I have my double right but I was struggling for my single left, and to be on my team I have to have both doubles so now doing this video I have a clean single left so I will keep practicing thank you so much!

    Hi, and thank you! This is a big help coz I have an audition today and doubles are tricky for me... Some girls have them down pat and are doing fouettés at the age of 10! I needed some tips coz people have told me “go onto Demi point”, “turn into the floor” and sometimes even “that was interesting”. Sometimes I’ve fallen to the ground but I really needed help so thank you so much!!

  • @iwatchytwhenimbored1636

    i’m a turner and i’m already the best in my class at turns. but i need to completely master it in my mind (i’m a perfectionist) then i’m going to get my fouetté turns (even though we will learn them in a few months) so they are perfect as well

  • @isabellakarlssonrolli8780

    Hi Katie! Can you do a ballet glossary video? For both easy steps and also harder more advanced steps? You know, telling us the names of the steps and the differences between different pirouettes, jumps etc. I'm 21 and I "discovered" ballet at 16 and started taking classes at 18. I've learned so much over the past years but there so much left to learn and I thought learning this is a good foundation. It's fun to think that I at 16 didn't even know what a releve was and now I was like "what's a lame duck?" and when you showed it was like "oh yeah, that one". I love your videos and I always learn so much! :)
