[pointevids]

You are loosing momentum, but otherwise, those are nice :) You should make a video when you start doing fouettes on pointe!!

[rosebud427427]

your really good, i'd say you need to work on spotting because you start and end in different places but it's still very good, trust me ur way better then me

[Liv2Dance22]

Wait so you got accepted to ABT?

[mydancetv]

@Liv2Dance22 ny summer intensive ;)

[Liv2Dance22]

[mydancetv]

@Liv2Dance22 I was accepted at 12 last year and this year 13 =)

[Liv2Dance22]

@mydancetv Oh so you went last year? I got excepted this year in South Carolina, I just turned 14 today...and i wanted to know how much different i was from people that got into New York.

[mydancetv]

@Liv2Dance22 oh yah that stuff will drive you crazy haha nc is the new site and the lady teaching there and director for there is really good. her name is Alaine Haubert. It is going to be or is a satellite jko school I think. I think it will be good.

[ag13productions]

im a ballerina too, and you are REALLY good!

[mydancetv]

@ag13productions thank you =)

[punkviolin1]

I can do it on flat, but point...no way lol. fouettes on point are death :)

[minnieballerina156]

robbie your soooooo good in ballet.....i'm only 10 and even though i could do double pirouettes in pointes, your still better than me

[fartlumpsjr]

Can you make a video showing all your pointe shoes

[mydancetv]

@fartlumpsjr ok yah - they are all signed so that will be fun

[BalletPrincess1998]

Soon you'll be able to do them en pointe!

[bumblesong]

Wow... you are pretty good for just beggining to learn these! Keep up the hard work and you'll have them down in no time!!!

[mydancetv]

@bumblesong well I have worked on them before in the last year and we do them in class sometimes . But a lot of dancers start them really young. For me it is still a new skill. HARD! =) 

[gummybear88ify]

Stop slowing down;) Your loosing momentum

[CelestialMare]

It's harder than it looks O:

[AnnaYoungDancer]

Great job Robbie! Really good for just learning them. PS: Love the leotard:)

[Dreamers79Norandbing]

Do you have a side for turning that's better than the other?

[mydancetv]

@Dreamers79Norandbing left

[Dreamers79Norandbing]

@mydancetv Same. It's super annoying.

[godsballerina97]

Hey , I recently started doing fouettes too!!!! Great Job!!!!! By the way, where did you get that adorable leotard?

[BalletFreak1122]

I SAW YOU IN THE DANCE MAGAZINE!! hahaaha i was early for dance class so i was just flipping through the pages and i say you!!

[mydancetv]

@BalletFreak1122 haha oh cool- that was on my way to maria kochetkova documentary screening in san francisco!

[Maren091]

I think you are really good for someone that haven´t been doing them for a long time!

[Nathalie2905]

Very good already! Try to use your arms more. Just like you are doing a normal pirouette. And think tall! :)

[snowgirl1052]

Wow. You will have a great fouette. I think it is because you have such good posture.

[contortionist104]

Great job Robbie! My fouettes still aren't like that and I practice them a lot!!

[KiliniLove]

Are you still doing ballet practice( tendus ,fondus....) because now i do these move only for warm up and when i am going to get pointe i will stop practicing and i will do only choreografies on neoclassical ballet( i know this type of ballet because i do modern dance and for the pointe work i will get some advice from my teacher of modern ... what do you say?

[KiliniLove]

No Robbie you dont practicing fouettes you do it awsome!!!!

[alexandraxoxoxo11]

psh! Certainly looks better than when I first started doing them. It didn't end pretty. Twisted my ankle in the process. Haha! You really are very good to be beginner at fouettes!

[mydancetv]

@alexandraxoxoxo11 I have done them some before but not a lot of focus as you can see needs more practice =) I know some schools start people really young on fouettes .

[Lizzitarock]

This is how you know how hard ballet is :D

[girlthatlaughs]

Yay Robbie c: Your last fouette was nice and faster paced near the end

[xDdance333]

Hey ! can you do a video on like Health foods, tips, and healthy breakfast, lunch, and dinner options (plus vegetarian options bc I'm a vegetarian!)

[mydancetv]

@xDdance333 me too! I think we have food for ballet on our video list =)

[222littledancer222]

make sure you dont circle your leg to the back when doing the action- dont know if your teacher has told you that but it doesnt actually make a circle it should go from devan to second then into retire not take a circling detour to the back to retire. thats also where you can lose momentum. and also keep your arms strong and get them to first quicker- the more time you take for your arms to get to first the slower your piroutte and also try doing releves in retire to strengthen each leg. =]

[KennyPooBear]

attack!!! come on put some force in there!

[theAnnafilms]

my advice woulde be to just ATTACK it more don't be afraid to fall down.. just go for it

[Jodec1994]

Whip your head around really quickly when you are spotting and close your arms really quickly. That will give you more momentum to do more turns! :) But that's a really great start and I would love to see a progress video in a few months! :D

[Dancefreak1107]

You are amazing. I wish I could do a fouetté!

[missdanceforever]

That is amazing considering that you're just learning them. Keep up the good work, Robbie :)

[MyMusicDuck]

Those are so much fun :) I can't wait for you to improove and learn new turn combinations :)

[LuckyLoveProductions]

i noticed that you were loosing your momentum while doing them, almost like you couldnt get around fast enough, i would recommend doing a single pirouette, then doing your fouette, so you can still have your momentum to get around, also, dont be afraid to go in plie when you begin one of them(: other than that great job!

[mydancetv]

@LuckyLoveProductions thanks I'll try that!

[dogdolphinpower]

Your fouettes are really awesome! I wish I had pointe shoes and could go on pointe. I did ballet in 2010 and stopped, and now I want to do it again. I always do jetes, pirouettes, and high kicks at home. And my old ballet teacher taught us the wrong basic five positions!!!!

[kelly913]

@dogdolphinpower the wrong basic 5? how? i don't understand can you explain?

[dogdolphinpower]

is your leotard black or blue? I guess something's wrong with my eyes today.... haha

[mydancetv]

@dogdolphinpower blue

[Iheartmyiphone]

Ur living my dream right now robbie

[manglejangle1]

Awesome job! They're really coming along nicely :) just remember, the faster you whip your head around in your spot, the faster u will turn. Then, if you pull pull pull up, you'll be doing 32 en pointe in no time ;) good luck! -3

[Barbiebratzgal123]

wow! Awesome! In a couply months u could already be doing the black swan :P lol

[mydancetv]

@Barbiebratzgal123 well it makes you really respect those 32 on pointe that's for sure. Very hard!!!!!

[CousinsProductions33]

Great job!!

[BalletGirl312]

omg! I have been doing them for 5 months and you are better than me. I have a solo at the end of my jazz dance where everyone exits the stage but me, and I just do fouettés for the last 3 counts of 8 and then I run off, and I need some tips. Can you help me? Thanks.

-Ballet Freak Fan <3

[mydancetv]

@BalletGirl312 I don't think i do them well enough to give advice I'll prob make it worse LOL

[isthatmarcee]

not bad at all! :)

i still cant get them right :D

[Fuzooky]

you are SO talented!!xxxxxxxx do you prefer turning to the left??x

[mydancetv]

@Fuzooky I'm a lefty and am right handed

[Dancer24601]

First to watch! Very good Robbie, I can't even do them properly yet :P your last attempt was AMAZING, so graceful and beautiful, keep up the good work! :)
