Pump Turns Tutorial Dance Moves

[dance2331]

You guys rock I can only do 5 in a row

[fantage12739]

im having trouble with keeping my foot not flat whenever i start to spin i cant keep my foot the way its supposed to be how can i fix that?

[Rockstar1754988]

we call them alysicones and fouettes not pumps nd they arent hard

[Luludi347]

you could do it in socks. and those are easy. they are called seconds not pump tuurns...but you guys are very good. i have been dancing since i was 2!!! and fouettes bend your foot into posse went you land flat footed in your secondes!!!

[ilovefitforafeast21]

can i do pump turns without anything in my foot??can i slip without foot undies and jazz shoes???

[fitforafeast]

@ilovefitforafeast21 you can do them - we do them in acro barefoot - but it is easier when learning if you have something that glides

[lelyguti123]

@ilovefitforafeast21 no you cannot, your foot wont slide, it will probably hurt

[ilovefitforafeast21]

can i do pump turns without anything in my foot??

[kittybows1224]

[lovehockeylovebieber]

[ShannonIsNumber1]

@lovehockeylovebieber They are definitely harder. You would need to be really good at pirouettes before you do these! :)

[kittybows1224]

[fitforafeast]

@kittybows1224 foot undies

[olivialove1211]

what is the difference between a fouette and a la seconde turn?

[fitforafeast]

@olivialove1211 you pull your leg back in as you are going around with fouette - check out our vid on turns

[dancer12u]

thank you! :)

[Ballerinagurl635]

I meant I thought they were called seconds

[fitforafeast]

@Ballerinagurl635 a la seconde is another name for them - I think pumps is the nickname

[misscommenterrater]

@fitforafeast is it also called a foutte turn?

[fitforafeast]

@misscommenterrater no they are a la seconde

[fitforafeast]

@purpilicous101 jazz shoes or foot undies (from dance stores) are good

[IloveBubbleGumxox]

[PandaBannaHead]

[MakeupTeen94]

@singleladiez100 A La Seconds is how you spell it. which means, turns in second.

[sandradee859]

[fitforafeast]

@sandradee859 no - fuettes you bring your leg back in then out again

[unicornharrypotter]

How many pirouettes do u have to be able to do to do these?

[delleoo1]

[fitforafeast]

@delleoo1 you have to practice spotting - watch our pirouettes vid

[2010awsomeness1]

This helped me a lot! :D

[2010awsomeness1]

Omg!! Thanks!! I've been wanting to know what these are called and how to get better!! Thanks a lot!!! :D

[TheBeki98]

I can do 3 pirouettes, sometimes 4, but I struggle with these, and this has helped me, I can only do about 2 or 3 pump turns though x thanks!

[PinkTicklesMe]

Nice flat feet.

[quimoi95]

We call these "A la Secondes" at my studio.

[arofer234]

Can you do turn both right and left?

[laurenlynch13]

i can do them but i do them best with shoes on and not on my feet

[LoveJBE]

whats on ur feet?



[fitforafeast]

@LoveJBE they are called foot undies - you get them at dance stores

[ItsMeGillian]

Hi Katrina and Sloane! I keep trying pumps while watching your vids. i find a spot to stare at. and i use your positions, and i dont wind up! i can do pirouettes too but i cant get 2+ pumps! HELP ME PLZ! Thank you!

[loganlaromar]

I sort of got mine but they're inconsistent :P .. People tell me different things so I'm wondering if you actually throw your leg at the pump to get momentum or not, as well as do you pump when your foot in on the floor or when it is in releve? Thanks!

[patties45]

My friend does dance and I have been trying to learn these things and she says when I go in a full circle then I need to put my foot down and bring it back up to do mores spins is that true? And one more ? how do i keep my balance when doing spinning?

[fitforafeast]

@patties45 always start with 1 turn and make sure you are doing that right - then try to master 2 - then 3, etc. You keep your balance by spotting and pulling up in your core - check out our pirouette vid for more tips

[patties45]

[44lauralove]

[xBabyxDollxAlicex]

You guys are really good! This is really helpful :)

[AUTUMNDANCE44]

Hey when I do these do you think it would work if I put athletic tape around the ball of my foot to turn

[fitforafeast]

@AUTUMNDANCE44 that would probably make it harder to turn. jazz shoes work good too

[TheGymbat2000]

thanks

[bestgirl452]

[arianna1234511]

thanks but i cant do it barefoot i have to wear socks.

[MrZwinky345]

[viviitran]

what is it called the things your wearing on your foot

[fitforafeast]

@viviitran foot undies

[ErinRobTheNobLickaaa]

Do u need to wear like a sock or can u just be barefoot

[fitforafeast]

@ErinRobTheNobLickaaa your preference - some people find it hard to turn barefoot

[libbeyparris]

they are called foates in my studio

[fitforafeast]

@libbeyparris fouettes are different (you bring your leg back in then out again)

[Cailyn717]

When your preparing for any turn, your feet need to be in 4th position. It helps your turns, just trying to help. Good job though

[Kidgirl13]

Hi guys! I am a dancer/gymnast and i stopped dance for a few years to focus on acro,gymnastics,and soccer. Unfortunately I forgot my foot positions for pump turns and now I can't really do pump turns. Do I rotate on the balls of my feet, and do I push my foot up when pirouetting during my pump turns? Sorry if you dont understand what I'm asking! I need to update my dance dictionary !

[nf094e]

when i try my pump turn i do like one complete turn and then my foot just stops spinning. plus im doing it on carpet

[fitforafeast]

@nf094e carpet makes it hard to turn

[nf094e]

when i try my pirouette i do like one complete turn and then my foot just stops spinning. plus im doing it on carpet

[princessRMU]

you are both so incredibly atriculate, thorough and amazing. You should get paid for this. So decent and professional. Bravo!!

[swimndancechic]

@origamifreak2 they're called foot undiez. :) they're like something on the balls of your foot so you're able to turn - but if you're going to by some, then by "bearpaws" instead b/c foot undies / foot thongs fall apart really fast :) 

[2010Misscutiepie]

What ballet do you do?

[fitforafeast]

@2010Misscutiepie we were doing cecchetti but now are starting a russian training

[origamifreak2]

Whats on your feet? well one foot??

[cocomonkey1212]

@origamifreak2 Its helps then turn better.

[DesiFuyuko]

You girls are so talented!! I think I finally learned to spot while turning

[nf094e]

how do you keep your foot spinning when you do your pump turn?

[fitforafeast]

@nf094e you have to pull up in your core

[jasmine1769]

how do you keep the turn going. i can never keep the turn going and after a while my foot starts to burn

[jasmine1769]

[erryANDmickay]

I learned your suppose to have your supporting leg bent when your other leg is to the side. it's easier on relevay but which way is right! :(

[iMGloriaL]

Once I learn to do pirouette, i automatically got my pump turns by just watching the pump turns in the begining of the video..

[iMGloriaL]

Once i learn the piroutte, i didn;t need to learn pump turs, cause i automatically got it.. =D i am so happy..BTW THANKS FITFORAFEAST YOU HELPED ME DO THE PIROUETTE!!

[megtan16]

[traydub25]

[fitforafeast]

@traydub25 you have to pull up in your core to control your turns

[gummybears719]

I like the christmas tree! And good turning!

[friendsforever51000]

That was very helpful

[beloveddance98]

@fitforafeast yes, i know, but some people, like myself, like to learn the original name, just so when it is called, we know exactly what to do and are all on the same page.

[beloveddance98]

These are good, but if you are going to tell the world how to do things, you have to tell them the correct name. They are not called pump turns... But your turns are good.

[fitforafeast]

@beloveddance98 different people call them different things - they are also called a la seconde

[Hay18925]

Can you get this if you have no experience in dancing???:)

[Hay18925]

Can you get this if you have no experience in dancing

[Hay18925]

Can you get this if you have no experience in dancing?

[fitforafeast]

@Hay18925 you should learn pirouettes first

[pattyzinhacosta]

p.s. i think the correct ballet terminology for pump turns are flatees..

[fitforafeast]

@MusicMakesLife200 fouettes are actually different - some people call these a la seconde turns
