Fouette Competition

[TeamStopmotions]

i counted 57..... am I wrong?

[CockatielsAreCute123]

I cant even do a fouette.... O_O

[ballettheatre101]

I think that this wasn't about technique...which wasn't great, but it was just about who could do the most! I thought it was pretty entertaining!

[kidsinakandystore]

I cant even do two...

[ISTFOO]

The best one is the one who's wearing the blue shorts

[kikicaitlyn3836]

She didn't even land it! Oh no! :P

That was amazing though!

[danceskirider]

WOW 57 thats alot but they werent proper fouttes

[hovart]

That's right, the girl who "won", did what it's called "traveling" when she did her fouettes, which is a no-no in the ballet world.

[juleshartzdance]

Wow..57 fouettes?! I can only do like 12 ;3

[TheLalauxkid]

ça se voyé qu'elle aller gagné parce que c'étais la plus énergique !

[drawingcellogirl]

DIZZY

[Shortfilmsyou]

what an embarrassing sound if you think about it... XD

[singer2b123]

Please put your hair up, girls...

[pointshoeprincess]

I have watched this three times in a row! It is very hynotizing. The girl who won did travel, but all of them were traveling a lot. She just traveled more. As for closing into passe, none of them were completely closeing. Also, none of them finished properly. I counted, they all did at least 30 and the girl who won did 57. Maybe they weren't perfect, but give her a break 57 fouettes is something to be proud of!

[nosejob14]

the girl who won was reallly really good

[DanceLuva1231]

wowww the girl who won was the worst like get it together her legs were awful she doesnt do right sooo no applause for her

[ShufflingNewb]

It's the squeaky boots from spongebob!

[mmw6299]

@ShufflingNewb I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!

[YoonjuHong]

Looks like she can do this for ever!!!

[MysteriousPelican]

They should have put "LEFT?! LEFT?!?! NOO--" in Sh*t Ballerinas Say.

[nanagee92]

Connect that passe! -_-

[b0tszzs]

close your legs and get into passe

[animegirlx15]

LOL I'm a left turner.. always the odd one out XD

[chelseadwest]

@animegirlx15 me too lol

[luvurfriends1]

@animegirlx15 Me to im always the awkward one in dance.....

[sportlovers2]

@CourtneyTheDancer2 you counted? wow! :) haha

[Tiraa15]

@sportlovers2 i found myself counting too hahaha

[sportlovers2]

@Tiraa15 haha! :)

[wasabolatan]

OMG!!!! la ganadora hizo 56 Fouettes!!!!

[JLXGH]

Chinghxd, I totally agree with you!

[purpleturtlesx]

She traveled sooo much

[KalexCullen]

they are all aweosme, but the one that got out first was the best!

[jerafro]

those fouettes were decent enough however the preparation into the fouettes was beyond sloppy.

[coryindahousizzle]

The one in the front has a queefing problem

[chinghxd]

mmm I'm somewhat impressed that you did so many; but your technique was a little everywhere. Your turning leg should be in passe; not doing little ronde de jambs around the knee area.

[BallroomBallerina99]

I'm 12 and i can do better than that! i mean my technique is alot better although i can only do 32 on the right

[deitypjb21]

57... damn...

[rileycarroll123]

is the squeaking noise there shoes or the song and they are all so great!

[ThatxDitzyxGirl13]

@rileycarroll123 It's their shoes hahaha

[Coolerthanwho]

@ellajaymass Haha exactly what I was thinking.. Heck the first girl to get out was the best! Haha

[archieforlife]

you shouldn't be dizzy if you spot.

[archieforlife]

some seals in there?

[NessaK94]

Well done! Ignore the bad comments, good technique will come with time and practice :)

[antosroad]

bad

demi pointe forgotten, bad passes, bad arms....quality not quantity

[balletgirlvicky]

good! congrats! :)

[DanceWithMeJM]

Omg that was really awesome lol

[dontblameme999]

so...much...swimming...

[BeesInTheTrees29]

So.... she can do a lot of turns but Can't stay in the same spot, close in passe, or even close her arms right... Congratulations good job

[coco1261998]

That was a lot of squeaks

[Teclacualquiera]

WOW. Just. Wow.

[ellajaymass]

59 fouettes, 4 miles traveled, 59 squeaks, and 59 improper passes. u deserve a gold medal!!!!

[snazzydancer100]

I think the one that got out first was the best.

[nightsfire]

Dude... The girl who came in first was the worst dancer of them. No proper retire, and look how much she shifted on the floor! You should stay in the same spot!

[Chickofmanywonders]

@nightsfire I think it was just to see who could hold it longest.

[TheEnglishRedRose]

I think fouette comeptitions should really be judged on technique first, like most have said, the girl who went out first was technically the best

[34Pippy]

You did a wonderful job and I was cheering for you too.

[kirahamblin]

56!!



[IlovePOTO3]

Bad turn out, bent supporting legs. Doesn't matetr how many you do, if they're lazy it's not as impressive

[Missglitterglam34]

they were "swimming" their turns

they weren't hitting their second position

and their foot wasnt attaching to their knee when it came it to reterez

[featherstream13]

"Left? Left?! Oh my god NO!" haha that comment at the end made me laugh so much :)

[DvAeNgCaEn]

ROCK ON!! Watch your releve and connect your posse, but jeez, you ladies can spot! :)

[Lynthie1927]

50 freakin 7 !

[mmoerl01]

she never connected that posse once. definetly should not have won. cheater.

[theball3rina]

She didint turn out. and way too travel.

the others were better.

I would rather do less good ones then more aweful ones.

[fartlumpsjr]

Bad person who won kept traveling and you didn't turn out

[Leyleydanse]

Cela m'étonne que les cheveux ,pas très bien attachés, de la gagnante ne la gène pas. La prochaine fois même défi avec les pointes ce sera encore mieux

[hkmamacmd428]

the girl in the end of the vid looks like jessica tyler (jenna) from degrassi lol

[randomscarecrow]

Squeak...squeak...squeak lol

[MlleOdilette]

Ouch, my poor ears!! It sounds like you are torturing a cat

[NickJsGurl108]

...i can do about 4 of those .... O.O

[MsCDarlynn]

Yea the one in front I can see pretty well and her form is terrible...

[sbec85]

Left! I'm a left turner. I'm the one groaning when they say RIGHT! Lol!

[dancedance0823]

Any one keeping track of fouttes

[hkmamacmd428]

was that squeaking shit part of the song or someone with a toy horn

[soyuncatacol]

@hkmamacmd428- That was probably her slippers.

[Me4loveifyouR]

Most controlled turns I have ever seen...

[ATazZAa]

Ha ha ha. You all look very happy with your dance :D. love it :)

[gymnast5281]

The one that got out first was the only one who closed all the way into passé

[MrArdzej]

[sango1789]

Lmao the squeeking goes with the music XD

[KiliniLove]

OHHHH!!! What is this strange noise change shoes plz!!!!!!!!!

[dgdancebabie]

[Beautybffs04]

[Balletdancer9116]

[adriana19952]

[balletduo]

[LadySov109]

[sailorchibimoon1665]

WPW

[andrewdancerTV]

[quynci12]

[TheCalciferFire]

Nice

[bsm737]

gross.



[lizzywizzyme]

I LOVE THAT!!! LEFT!!!!!!! Sooo know the pain of that word!!!

[dance92princess]

I love how they were like LEFT LEFT!??!?!

[viriotie]

so clean. they were perfect(:

[verystupid321]

haha awesome! its so funny how at the end theyre all like left?! oh no!! xD i hate left too..the eviiil left

[XxXFantagerockzzXxX]

rolf Lovee it i can only do 19.. :PP :DD

[katiekakesXD]

SHE JUST DID 57!!

[trolltally]

now try doing that on pointe

[goekn1]

Their feet were not connected in passé.

[Cheerbabeforeverable]

squeak squeak squeak squeak... squeak (:

[thebeautifulmaddie]

best song ever

[liv2dance00]

LEFT?!?

[balletpink1717]

connect your passe to your knee!

[PixieGirl778]

Are their passés supposed to connect? I agree, the one who got out second had better form. The winner seemed to be bending her supporting leg and maybe wasn't high enough on demi-pointe and that's why she kept travelling? Eh, good job anyways!

[JaidynAllen101]

I counted 57 to the girl in the black shirt!

[leilanx89]

@JaidynAllen101 umm they were all wearing black

[JaidynAllen101]

@leilanx89 No shiz, sherlock. I was obviously talking about the winning girl.

[LittleBallerina4]

57! Amazing my highest wasnt even close to that!!!

[liv2dance00]

The girl that won was AMAZING!!! Like I can't even describe how awesomeazingly awesome that really was.

[BeckyP1110]

lol their ponytail holders will fly out! xDD

[robynmolina]

the girl who won didn't connect her passe at ALL

[dancer381124]

how many did she do?

[Lilid43]

the winner might have been able to go longer but her form is wrong. The girl who got out 2nd has better form. The last two girls in weren't doing their turns correctly and thats why they stayed in longer. 

[HASixgun]

@Lilid43 except the girl who got out second dropped her center everytime she opened to her a la seconde... which explains why she couldn't continue due to the fact that its darn near impossible to do so many turns without a really strong center. hmm... was her leg more correct in terms of placement? Yes, but not drastically.

[djcasey7]

The girl that got out 2nd is actually the winner when you look at form and techinique. "Brianna" if im correct on her name, began to travel waaay before she the @nd girl got out and " Steph" form was already off. So, yea, 2nd girl... YOU ROCK

[ebdancer99]

"the squeak won!" hahaha

[danceurpantsoff13]

why doesnt anyone use rosin nowadays? i love rosin you can turn and turn and turn and you dont squeek...... unless you use too much then you just get stuck and fall over haha. i agree with diamond dancer, if you travel its wrong so the girl in the back should have won.

[StephanieCurranUMICH]

@danceurpantsoff13 holla! that's me! i think..if you mean the second place girl...otherwise, holla to my girl, michelle!

anyways, it was a dumb competition for cardio! I honestly cannot believe this has almost 20,000 views! me and my old studio mates always laugh about it because this feels like so long ago. what the heck, why am i wearing ballet shoes in jazz? NERD

btw, wouldn't rosin make it stickier/squeakier? especially on a marley floor? we use it when the floor is too slippery but idk.

[applelemonhead3345]

hahaha LEFT?!?!?!

[iloveshoes813]

@mstud333 the girl who won was miss dance of Michigan 2010

[bet123rox]

I love lyrical shoes and how they squeak when you turn. :D

[mstud333]

The only problem was the girl that won didn't connect her passé at the end of the fouetté. Other than that, incredible. Really some1 to look up to. Don't worry, nearly every1 hates left!!!!! Haha

[NathanNisrchl614]

@mstud333 I LOVE LEFT!!! Hahaha! :)

[roxydancer88]

@ballet4everz its BLACK AND GOLD

[Ballet4Everz]

What song?

[lelebeijo]

@Ballet4Everz Black and Gold

[Dance4Ever316]

OMG! They were all amazing but the girl who won was incredible!

[BornDancers]

WOW 59 FOUETTES!!

[fashion4evr100]

I counted 58

[Ohheyyyjessie]

CONNECT!! 

[XxMelinaxMallisaxX]

Whoa!!!

[PunkaNyNy]

Awesome!!

[l1o2p3e4z5121483]

really good job!!!! 55!!!



[emmmmkay]

"alright now left.." "LEFT?!" hahah i always react the same way.

[ciaoskater]

@emmmmkay

I actually do them to the left, but apparently it's the less common way?

[biggmc100]

@ciaoskater no WAY!!!! me too! :)

[123dancecentral]

@emmmmkay haha same thing happened to me in class today, i'm starting to get them really good on my right leg, and my teacher was like, ok now do the other way i'm like "oh hell, no!" hahaha

[MariHeartsMusic4ever]

all i paid attention to was the 'sqeak'... the whole video i was trying to figure out who it came from :P... now i know.

[WsupppDeborahx]

I can't even do one.. ahahaha

[ikillmofos]

These girls all so hot and sexy!

[Dancer3mily]

We use this song to practice fouettes too!

[Akuchan7]

Her feet BLED! Now that's dedication.

[BreandHan]

she did 59 turns~

[SometingLikeDance]

well I for one thought it was very good :) I have trouble with traveling though. and I know that sounds wierd, but I travel to MUCH!!!!! it drives me insane. and BTW its not boring to put that many fuettes in a dance. Were doing that but others are dancing behind us. Actualy its not fuettes there seconds so there much easier, I just hope I can do it!! you have to do like 35! haha. this looks like fun. I have jazz practice tomorrow. maybe we can have a seconds competition :)

[steffic2010]

@skeeterart ok being one of the girls in this video, I would like to state that this was a purely fun competition. We understood once we got past 20 or so turns the technique was going to go down and it turned into whose calves are stronger contest. Jordan only posted this video for us(people at our studio) to watch, not to be an example of perfect technique. No choreographer would ever put this many turns in a dance; that would be the most boring dance ever.

[crve522]

you can tell shes gonna win as soon as they start

[wOrshipdanCer10]

How many fouettes did she achieve??? :O

that's amazing :D

[BreandHan]

@wOrshipdanCer10 59

[broadwaynballet]

where is the turnout? I understand they are tired, but even in the beginning their legs barely got to seconde, let alone even a little turned out...

[jfrankel13]

i think the one who go tout first had the most technique

[xTheRavensSorrowx]

Squeak :D

[KatKim111]

all of their feet are flexxed not pointed and when they go from botme to posse the leg looks like uncooked noodles wiggling around

[TDCdancer972]

@KatKim111 if noodles were uncooked they would be stiff and straight not wiggly lol.

[diamonddanceroh8]

Once you start to "travel" when doing turns you aren't doing it correctly.... and remember to connect when in passe ladies :] Nice job otherwise

[leiahloo1111]

she needs to connect her passe!

[frangipanigirlcz]

the girl who won had the least technique i think. the onein the front left was absolutely stunning abut they all looked a bit rough and forced. fierce fouettes. but beautiful girls :)

[dancestar10ostrich]

Awesome!! I wish I could do that!!

[flowerpuddle10101]

THE second girl that ended had better technique than all of them. The competition should have been who can do the most fouettes with the best technique...

[kenzieemily]

Haha. I like the squeek.

"LEFT??!" lol

[emmageorgette]

can't wait for my fouette's to look like that and better. good job girls

[KibahinaxSasuino]

Lol. The shoes squeaked a lot!

Also, they did a lot.

[naxopopojaja]

hey someone please help me. the song that is at the back of this video??

what song is? what the name ? and the artist? pleaasee if someone knoow tell me

[imagine0018]

@naxopopojaja black and gold by sam sparro

[LOLgal96]

squeak, squeak! i couldn't help but laugh @ the squeaks :) good job though

[PinkTintedWoman]

you all pass your feet to the back ?......and your pointed toe needs to actually connect to your knee instead of just flicking at the back :/

[roseisdancin4christ]

Beautiful girls!!! I wish I could do that!

[Dance04life]

Really good girl who says squeak wins is really weird and has a weird mouth lol

Fart! Lol

[rileytheballerina]

The two on the far left were really insync with each other... That was gooooood

[nicolexbrooke]

theyre really good but jesus they need to connect it makes me cringe

[FRESHawele99]
