RAD Grade 6 - Pirouette En Dehor (Continuous version)

[balletlover88]

Hi Does anyone have the grade 6 syllabus on dvd? RAD style?? Would really appreciate it. Thanks.

[XxEpicCarolinexX]

The arms are supposed to come to the waist at the end, not demi-bra

Otherwise, very nice :)

[raquelyeo]

@XxEpicCarolinexX Thanks for your compliment! I think different teachers teach different styles!

[42434641310]

nice (:

[raquelyeo]

@42434641310 Thank you!

[42434641310]

@raquelyeo what country are you from? the arm-posture looks different .

[raquelyeo]

@42434641310 I'm from Singapore!

[Dancer6794]

what mark did you get? :)

[raquelyeo]

@Dancer6794 I got distinction for Grade 6!

[vikiememe]

@raquelyeo good job :)

[raquelyeo]

@vikiememe Thank you :)

[Bethhlouisethedancer]

Really Good! But i Thought It Was only set with 1 Pirouettes ?

[raquelyeo]

@Bethhlouisethedancer Thank you! Yes, you can do only 1 pirouette in the syllabus. I just challenged myself to do double!

[j0leneeee]

how old are you???

[raquelyeo]

@j0leneeee I'm 18 now!

[j0leneeee]

the studio is  huge!

[raquelyeo]

@j0leneeee Yes it is :)

[niallgillon]

i love watching the first girl dance! the second girl was good too, but i've seen afew videos of the first & she's just a pleasure to watch :) x

[raquelyeo]

@niallgillon Thank you!

[93FloraLaura93]

Since when did you have to do double pirouettes in this exercise? :S

[raquelyeo]

@93FloraLaura93 It requires a single pirouette but I did double for the fun of it.

[LilEmmyOx]

This is good. TIP: Keep your legs straight when doing your tendues (closings.) Unless they're supposd to be closing in a demi plie, then, make it more obvious :D <3

[raquelyeo]

@LilEmmyOx Thank you! I'll take note of that :)

[LilEmmyOx]

@raquelyeo Muchlyy welcomeeee (: I can't talk, I do it all the time :D But just thought I'd pass on le message <3

[BronYuDawson]

Constructive criticism: you need to look like your really enjoying dancing because right now, i see no emotion. Plus, move more energetically since this is a major toned song, but don't move so jerkily. It is meant to look happy! But well done :) Big thumbs up!

[raquelyeo]

@BronYuDawson Thanks!

[avelinomelo]

Nossa, a primeira coisa que aprendemos logo no inicio do RAD é sobre a técnica, cade?

[raquelyeo]

@avelinomelo Hi! I'm sorry but I don't understand Spanish (if that's Spanish).

[0P1kachu]

You're really good! Very nice turning *^-^ What result did you get for grade 6?

[raquelyeo]

@0P1kachu Thank you! I got a distinction for Grade 6 :)

[exmovveme]

malisima, sory :S

[naomiashley11]

Hey! That wasn't bad! It was real good, I think you need more lift in your glissades and travel further but you are both really good at pirouettes which is something I suck at! Especially the first girl :)

Keep dancing! x

[raquelyeo]

Thanks!

[xXLindsayLovelyXx]

are you still dancing at RAD??

[raquelyeo]

Yes I am! Currently doing Advanced 1 :)

[xXLindsayLovelyXx]

thats great do you think you will go pro.?

[raquelyeo]

I intend to pursue dance if I have the opportunity to :)

[LiveLoveDancex08]

I just did my exam 2 days ago. Im really hopin i get Destinction! and Good pirhouettes! The girl with the stripes reminds me of me when i dance.lol idkk. ;] goood jobb!

[raquelyeo]

I'm sure you'll attain a distinction! Thanks and all the best!

[rarie13]

we dont do doubles in grade 6.. but you did it great!!!

[raquelyeo]

Thanks. I just wanted to challenge myself with double pirouettes. Turned out well I guess!

[sk8erlil]

OMG!!! grade 7 missed it so much!!!! good luck dear in your exam..

[raquelyeo]

Actually I've done this grade like 5 years back. Thanks anyway :)

[loopylolly122]

im taking grade 6 in march and im 14 :) btw tht was really good

[raquelyeo]

Good luck babe. Thank you.

[Dobbie180]

wow, this is really good, just try and align your hips to face the front. Idid this exam a few months ago; i got a hounours, 98% really plaesed with it - you will do so well with this!! good luck!

[raquelyeo]

Thank you! I thought the highest grade is Distinction? The Honours award got taken off. I took Grade 6 when I was 13 :)

[0laughlikeyoumeanit0]

OMGosh! Your not terrible! Your actually really good! Good job!

[raquelyeo]

Thank you!

[Dance5Passion]

hey any tips for doing a very good pirouette? like say doing up to 3 pirouettes?

[raquelyeo]

Keep spotting :)

[tipsysgirl]

"Apologies for the terrible dancing"

This is not terrible! It looks really good - the timing is great just try being more artistic, congratulations on the distinction :D

[raquelyeo]

Thank you so much :)

[dancerxogirl13]

second girl .. if you can only do one pirouette just do one :) I know this excercise really only callls for one .. so if you're not confident enough to make it around without putting ur heel down a second time then just do it once. The judge will be much more pleased with a clean single than a messy double :) In all though, you guys did really good!

[raquelyeo]

Thanks for your comment. Will take note of those pointers

[hannica7]

did you pass?

[raquelyeo]

Yeah i got distinction for this grade :)

[hannica7]

oh good job!

[raquelyeo]

Thanks (:

[chris9879]

girl in blue:control your pirouttes.

the first one you overshot, and the second one,learn to hold your leg longer if you intend to turn 2 rounds

[raquelyeo]

Thanks for your comments :)

[McLoviin03]

The first girl;;

Dont tilt your body so much on the tendu deriarre :S i caant even spell the word lol. and you need to work on your glissades to make them more accurate and bigger to the hover for longer..

And for the second girl;;

lower your arms and bend your elbows a little,, work mroe on your confidence and posture because it needs straightening and same again with the glissades and dont go for doubles if you caant do them ,, it maakes the whole thing look messier x

[raquelyeo]

Thanks for your comments. Will take note of these pointers!

[funkygal321]

Which CC are you from ? :D

[raquelyeo]

Siglap South

[Brigit1995]

wow. the first girl is pretty good... you have a lovely pirrouette but work a little more on your positioning for the glesade.

great work:)

[raquelyeo]

Thank you. Point taken :)

[ballet887]

the first girl, actually your body is not in a right spot

[raquelyeo]

Noted. Thanks for your comment.

[vess1028]

wow!!i love the first girl..

she did so many pirouttes!!

[raquelyeo]

Thank you :)

[05lfinlayson]

I'm 15 and have my exam in a couple of weeks. I'm terrible at double pirouettes, singles all the way!!

[xxxcarinamxxx]

how old are you normally when doing grade six???? im 12 and im doing it now!

[raquelyeo]

Haha, i did when i was 12 too (:

[Camiwhatever]

I began in grade 6 whn I was 14!

it sucks, cause if I hadn't taken a break for 6 months I would be in grade 8 now. I'm starting in grade 7 now. and I'm 16. damn!

[ellac555]

2nd girl you need to work on spotting and pirouet ,

1 st girl was good

[raquelyeo]

Thank you :)

[hnbballerina]

I loved the first girl!

I think this is a horrible exercise, I alway get confused when doing this...

[raquelyeo]

Thank you! You'll do fine, the steps are the same for both right and left. Remember to spot, and you'll do well for your turns :) Good luck

[hnbballerina]

Thanks, I am going to have my exam on may 22nd...

[FanOfRudyLenners]

I'm doing this grade now

You did Grade 6,7,8 together?

[raquelyeo]

I've been at the grade ages ago, and done it already. Currently doing Advanced1 and 2

[pasdebasqueandcifras]

u prob need to spot head when doing double?

[raquelyeo]

Thanks for your comment. Will take note of that

[balletkido]

that was notttt good

[raquelyeo]

Thanks for your comment

[BalletCava]

Your double pirouettes are very neat but you must remember to straighten your knees. :D and also, when you do degages (for eg. at 0:02 0:15) don't lean to the sides or front or back-keep your back straight and hips locked. Other than these, you're doing great. :D Anyway, the studio's really beautiful and the music is so catchy I like it!

[raquelyeo]

Thanks for your comments, will improve on that.

[BalletCava]

No prob :)

[chuashiyi]

I learn ballet at Crestar.

[raquelyeo]

Hi. Which crestar?

[zunnio]

hey can i know where are you learning ballet at ?

[raquelyeo]

[silviabatet]

we only did one pirouette for this exam, although we could do two

[raquelyeo]

Yeah it is, i'm not taking grade 6. But i randomly played the song, and we danced to it. It's supposed to be 1 pirouette :)

[angelshanna77889]

haha ... i remember this is grade six(:

although i'm just grade 7 now :PP

[raquelyeo]

Yeah that's right! I can never forget this dance! Good luck for your Grade 7.

[angelshanna77889]

thanks(:
