Turning is to spot the way that apples go with cinnamon! Spot timing Rule: allow the 2nd shoulder to get to the front of the body before you allow you head to move! #technique #turning #spot #jazz #jazzdance #ballet #skill

Dancers, do not attempt until you can execute the exercise on flat on the floor and then on releve without a hop or wiggling the torso or wobbling in the ankle. I will be working with dancers and teams privately to help you achieve maximum balance for maximum control! Watch for the posts on social networking sites in 2018!🥇

Turns in 2nd(fouetté a la seconde) are traditionally a male turn because of the muscle strength it takes to execute them successfully. Women can do them without a doubt. Working them too much will over develop the quadriceps resulting in larger legs for females and over developed hip flexors in female dancers.

Mr. R approved! Male dancer today have to have equal parts strength and flexibility. This sauté tilt is a great example of both.

This dancer makes beautiful lines in this fondue/develope combination! Dancers technically move in 3 directions: front(devant), side(a la seconde) and back(derrierre). If dancers travel in a direction: front(en avant) or side(de cote) or back(en arrierre). The more you know.🤓

Count the number of turns that were executed perfectly! The spot changes with the phrase. Her control and precision are fantastic! #turning #piroeuettes #arabesque #attitudeturns
