Pageant Turns & Twirls FOR BEGINNERS

  • As a former dancer, I always found pageant turns, onstage walking, and runway/ramp walks to be one of my favorite areas. One of the most basic turns I cover in this video is the double-half turn as well as the more advanced step, the "pageant twirl."
    Queens and winners spend lots of time practicing these steps to commit to muscle memory. But for a newbie, simply watching Miss (Enter Country Here) do her walk Miss Universe can be too difficult to learn because it's either too fast, the camera angles cut too quickly, or the gowns block the foot steps.
    I'm happy to share my technique and break down the footwork in this video geared towards beginners and new contestants.

    As a ballet and ballroom dancer, I was fascinated by the pageant turns and so I came to watch and see what hacks you guys use. In dancing (particularly ballet), we always use our shoulder to push a little momentum and arms to finish the turn (my description is probably lacking). I see that when you swiftly bring the thighs and feet together - it makes that same momentum as you make in dance with arms and shoulders -the technique is fascinating indeed! Would enjoy more of these videos!

      Practice makes perfect! I can sense that you are working hard. You go girl!
      Don’t forget to drink lots of water, and if they hurt, you can soak them in warm water (+Epsom salt if you have any) and/ or put your feet physically up after a long day. I like to put my feet up against the wall while lying in bed backwards (with my bum close to the pillows)... while scrolling social media on my phone 😂

      Natalie Howard You have no idea how happy this comment makes me! ☺️☺️☺️Work it girlfriend!
      As for 3” heel recommendations, I hesitate to give you specific brands because some are just naturally narrow or others are wider, etc. and I don’t know the shape of your foot (personally I have a bunion so I find like every heel uncomfortable hah) but if you’re able to try something on first that would be ideal. Amazon wardrobe has heels you can try on at home and send back if you don’t find them comfortable. If stores are open where you are, going in to try them on in person is the best! I am in California and with Covid shut downs we haven’t been able to do that 🙁

    Hi, Crystal... just thought I'd tell you that many, many years ago what you call "the twirl" was done in runway modeling. Back then it was known as "The Dior Pivot" and was used in the main designer salons to especially show off the long gowns with full skirts, like the show stopper Wedding Gowns. Since you asked.... ;-)

    I've been in a model agency for almost 3 years and yeah my coach told me that is a full-turn :)
    and also, for the "twist" is also a different movement, like when you finished posing you wanna turn around to go back, so twist is a good way for it. i believe the twist is used for pageants & supermodel
