Really need to work on the feet, though, esp, the working leg. Not seeing so much sickling as flapping in the breeze. Yuh, it was a good day when I could do a double! But the feet can be polished (maybe try a different shoe?), the attack taught; some of this virtuosity is God-given.
I was a dancer for years. I took ballet, but when it was time for me to advance to point, I would always fall over. Turns out that my feet are naturally turned in (or sickled). I could never be a ballerina, so I had to give up dance. :(
@RockerCHICK167 My feet used to be sickled but after a lot of hard work and practising every day I now have the right amount of turn out you shouldn't have quit dance just because your feet were sickling! :)
@LadieLola Well they weren't "sickling". They are SICKLED lol. It has to do with the bone and joint structure of my feet. I can't change it. I've always twisted my ankles a lot and pointe was causing me to do it more. I think I was doing more damage to myself than anything, so I stopped. :/
@me2totoo wanna bet? lol. I can't do as many as her but I can do them. I live in mid-county in Texas and my dance school puts on a Christmas show every year called A Whimsical Christmas and this year I playe the character of Cyndi Lou Who and I had a solo to Where Are You Christmas during it and I had to do fouette's on Pointe in it. So, yes, I can do that. Kthanks!
fouettes take a ton of practice! and make sure you are practicing the right technique, if you don't practice correctly, it won't do you any good. Keep your supporting leg straight when on releve, and make sure you whip from the front to the side & from the side ---> in. Also, don't let your leg go past second position: a lot of people let it go past their second, and then you can't bring your leg into passe correctly. I HOPE this helps!

she may not spot, but that just means that she's so on center she can continue to turn... i know a spot adds another component to turns, but it is incredible that she's doing all this without spotting...
whaaat... I'm a guy, I can do multiple pirouettes no problems, as well as some consecutive pirouettes a la seconde, and I am on pointe, but I will NEVER ever ever become able to do this! lol. fortunately I don't have to but anyway.
Hello ballet lovers! I would greatly appreciate it if you would subscribe to TheCaliforniaBallet and followed them on twitter @CAballetCo Thank you so much!
@sweetestsin1121 thank you very much! I am new to youtube ... I saw that on the right side is located the issues that come with each image ... jejeje ... Thanks again!
You have a very good "turn feeling" if you know what I mean! :P One thing tho, you are lifting your left arm higher especially in second position, and if you spot like, harder, and more precise you could get even BETTER fouttes! But you were really good, I can only dream of doing it this good right now!!
Awwhh, I was hoping to see some Russian Fouettes. Nonetheless, she is really really good. And for all you people who think it's easy to do what ballerinas do, that's good. Because our job is to make it look effortless. But trust me, it certainly is not.
yes, i know, some people can turn really well without spotting. but that's more spinning than turning. and those people are just lucky enough to have a natural feel for their centre. and that natural turning ability usually causes them to forget about spotting. but spotting = rhythm and rhythm = good pirouette.
her turns are GREATT! she has nice control over her body, the only thing that could be worked on is not shooting your arms out, i have the same problem!
@xheytom spotting is part of technique, it's there for a reason. and technique is technique because it's beneficial one way or another. it's like saying fully stretching your feet doesn't work for everybody. spotting is part of rhythm and having a rhythm is what sets a PIROUETTE apart from SPINNING.
@xheytom lol if you're not being sarcastic, then thank you to you too. if you are being sarcastic, then im sorry if i seemed rude with my comment, hehe.
I hate how sometimes dancers criticize another dancer's video because they're jealous. It's really easy to say someone else has horrible technique and blah blah blah, but how many of the critics could actually do it better? Constructive criticism can be good, but a lot of the comments are just mean ( @danzcuba, im talking to you). i am a dancer and i wish i could do fouettes like that. And to me her technique looked very good so awesome job! ignore the haters. =]
@patsy1409 well i have been dancing in pointe shoes for 9 years now. and it dose hurt the toes a little, and theres alot of pressure on the foot....You should never go on pointe shoes untill your strong enough, and untill you have had permission from a dance teacher...BUT as long as you wear toe pads/ouch pouches or lambs wool, it dosent hurt as bad,
@ilovefouettes spotting is part of technique, it's there for a reason. and technique is technique because it's beneficial one way or another. it's like saying fully stretching your feet doesn't work for everybody. spotting is part of rhythm and having a rhythm is what sets a PIROUETTE apart from SPINNING. i never even hinted that she's a bad dancer or anything so don't try and bash me, just saying that spotting is very important.
All i have to say is fingers and your legs! Your leg sometimes droops and your fingers aren't stretching enough! But they are still pretty good compared to me!
