kelly's fouettes

[cops055]

I find fouettes easier than pirouettes

[jinpitakki33]

very nicee. just watch your arms. they're getting a bit droopy

[schosan]

What is the name of the song? 

[jkokich]

Good job! I love seeing young dancers doing well!

[rati5547]

I -3 fouettes and I -3 the girls fighting in the back!!

[7spunky7]

daang! this is awesome :) i've taken pointe for almost 2 years and i can do barely one :( haha.

[gabanagal09]

My record was 15, but i can do 10 clearly :)

[sarahsandiego2]

I will be so happy the day when i can even nail a pirouette let alone a series of fouettes.

[luvlaughing90]

song name anyone?

[Jodec1994]

@bubbles0124

Are you on pointe? Ya, well your only nine so probably not. Try doing them on pointe then maybe you won't find it so easy.

[bubbles0124]

i can do like 7 fouettes and i am 9 and on dance competition!!!! they are so easy!!!

[jinpitakki33]

@bubbles0124 you can 'fouette'. have you shown your teacher yet? has she corrected all the cheats you're doing? are you flinging your arms out? are your arms supported? are your shoulders down? is your butt sticking out? are you travelling? are your legs perfectly turned out all the time especially when you carry it to second? have you get perfect positioning? are your feet beautifully stretched all the time? you're only 9. you need to learn a bit of humility.

[MissZumba100]

@jinpitakki33 Show us yours then please :)

[jinpitakki33]

@MissZumba100 I NEVER claimed my fouettes were perfect. I know mine are FAR from perfect. I'm trying to tell this kid that she shouldn't be finding fouettes 'easy' because that almost certainly indicates that she's cheating them. Humility gets people, especially dancers, a lot further than bragging on Youtube does.

[MissZumba100]

@jinpitakki33 And I'm just telling you that you sound incredibly arrogant and patronising. Are you really taking a kid seriously?! She's probably lying or exaggerating, or both. Are you really wasting your time asking her 21 questions? Plus, if she's nine...the chances are she CAN do good fouttes if she's been dancing since she was old enough to walk. Kids have less fear than us remember. They don't have any concept of "am I doing this wrong/do I look a fool/Oh I might fall on my arse" etc....

[jinpitakki33]

@MissZumba100 i can accept that i might have sounded patronising but i was not being arrogant as i wasn't going and boasting about my own fouettes. And if she was lying and/or exaggerating, then she needs to learn a lesson sooner or later...

[MissZumba100]

@jinpitakki33 I love the way you said to her "is your teacher correcting your cheats?" How do you know she's bloody cheating! Piss off and stop making assumptions about people you don't even know! If she needs to learn a lesson, that;s up to her parents!

[DanceTilYourDead]

LOL at the two girls fighting in the background haha :)

Am i weird because i find it so much easier to do a fouette then a pirouette?

[SophieNeveudancer]

@DanceTilYourDead naaa...i can barely do a pirouette right but i manage to do fouettes.

[sarahheartspanic]

fix the arms and theyll be perfect :)

[DiamondDancerForever]

TURN OUT

[pootyshish]

great legs! your arms ere a bit sloppy tho!

[Balletgirlhopepointe]

She is amzing.

[etnarud95]

is that sean teaching?

[Annalovesgreenday]

good! just get a little farther around in the turn before you bring your leg in to passe. it looks nicer and can help you balance more. (:

[icecreamgirl1230]

really good~!!!!!! i cant do those :O lol

[thisnameisborrowed]

pretty good!

[sophalopigus]

what ballet school?



[tutugrl27]

[dancyprancy12]

ehh.. could have been better

[krazykidx97]

she is very good. wow, i wish i was as good. she just needs to work on her turnout. :D

[TheDanceJunkie]

y is the girl in the backround getting pissed

[TheAJ023]

your great. just try not to slouch when doing a fouette,,, coz its horrible.. but definitely good! awesome!

[kelseeyyy6]

Good but not high enough!

[gaga192837465]

fouettes are hard !!

i can only do 3 :( but my first time was 2 weeks ago and ive never taken ballet but my teacher is making me do them BY MYSELF in my jazz dance AT COMPETITION !!! im going to piss myself!

[saramcnanneyxox]

@gaga192837465 jazz fouette's are WAY easier than ballet

[his4ever100]

can you do these????

[Tuxiedo]

its not like this was a preformance, it was class, nobody clapped at the end, she wasnt dressed up or anything. do you expect people to be fantastic all the time?!

[his4ever100]

all you need to do is pull up...... i love that girl in the backround getting mad....... she funny

[julzzx9]

you need to really pull up out of your lower back your arms looked a little slopy good though

[beckiii2609]

she is great

[passionballet88]

support ur back, support ur shoulders, shape ur arms, open ur chest, turn out ur legs and ur good.nice spot

[vreytinydancer]

i loved it !! i love what you do with ur arms . but you do need to work on your arms though. moooore muscle .

[dePETiTES08]

she didnt look sloucheddd

[Lulux4x4]

please dont slouch when you are doing your fouettes. and work on your arms. it will help you.

[makeupworld456]

is that at greensboro ballet?

[carly3579]

Her arms when she landed in fourth made me want to scream! Her fingers were terrible and her arms where too high!!

[lilswtangqtgrl]

LOL they were a bit messy, but it's a minor error. hopefully she notices soon :]

[Shawtyyxo001]

nice spotting!!

[Shawtyyxo001]

watch your shoulders and arms, pull up!! and dont slouch back

[dancerluv72]

ur fouettes are good! just keep working on ur turnout!!

[KaeAnnie]

worn on keeping your upper body pulled up because your turn out is great

[yeahhitssliz]

how old are you?

mine look like that too, actually, probably worse :D

[arpmr]

they were good but not great...

[hust98]

Slouching is when your back isnt straight and your shoulders kinda come down and your stomach is kinda concave. its just plain bad posture

[screamoballerina]

I fail to see how this girl is slouching. Like, at all.

[isthatmarcee]

wats slouching? sorry im bad at english :S

[mileymontana93]

slouching is when your back isnt straight

[Shawtyyxo001]

its like contracting your upper body.

[Shawtyyxo001]

ya, its kinda an illusion almost. shes not really slouching but it looks like it to me

[CutesyBubblez]

nice

[islandgrl47xo]

you know wat, they were just fine. all you haters can go to hell.

[xomollydolly]

agreed, how do they even know what they are talking about anyways ?

[cczparty]

goood i cant do them... im almost there

[dcrgurl16]

people always r so mean responding to ballet videos

there's always room for improvement but i think ur foutees r really good. :)

[ballerinagirl4ever]

bad posture and arms.

and u traveled ALOT!!!!!

keep workin on them.

[wigglebells]

nice turns, but her upper body was slouched.

[sweden92]

What is it that move called if you have your leg straight all the time?

[frizzylexi]

well...its pronounced allecicone

[geckoarmy8]

A la seconde turns. They're harder than fouettes, in my opinion...

[dancerchick220]

ya i agree...you get more momentum from them

[screamoballerina]

They're harder in some respects, but easier in some I find. My problem with my fouettes are that my routiree doesn't connect nicely, so ala secondes look nicer sometimes. I think they're harder to achieve a nice one because it takes more turnout, but if you have it it looks nice.

[geckoarmy8]

That's a good point; I have pretty pathetic turnout, but when people with good turnout do them they always look really amazing.

[BooandChaCha]

you need to whip your leg around farther before you pull it it...otherwise it will through you off balance and you will have to try harder, which gets very tiring.

[Ballerina282]

Remember to dance not only with your legs, but with your upper body. Your turns were goo but your upper body was well............ ugly.

[ballerinainatutu]

when you turn think about holding your arms up a little higher and holding a beach ball also hold your shoulders up, other than that it was pretty good.

[dancer3492]

good turner .

but, posture is bad.

[lovemylife37]

she needs to hold her posture up better. it looked like she was wa too stiff

[brittanyxface]

Very nice. Just bring your leg up a little higher and watch your arms. Try to be stronger in your technique, as well. It looks a bit floppy.

But, you're on the right track.

:)

[limeyballerina]

not good at all.... she was just spinning....not turning...

[wigglebells]

errrm, don't mean to burst your bubble, but you will prob wont get chosen, they usually take their own from russia, and an american is quite rare.

[thatdancerale]

very very good! just watch ur arms.... =)

[isafuentemtz]

i have the same problem i can't bring the leg up!jaja good work!

[kelseynhanson]

You did very well.

I'm impressed.

Just watch your arms!

;)

[shanirideshorsesss]

bring you leg up a little higher but pretty good!

[allannax]

you need to watch your arm technique

[balletaholic]

guys honestly

no one knows how long she has dances or the expierence she has had. give her a break. they were pretty good! you do bend your knee on the attitude though

[IHEARTDANCE28]

Relax those fingers!

[ecahrica17]

how old r u honey?coz u look young..maybe thats the reason y she still looks like that..:)

[gswaggachic]

funny lol

[fredluver1227]

she had bad posture!!!! her shoulders were bent....

[musicalxxdancer]

When you do a front attitude,

Bend your knee.

[SvetlanaZakharova123]

maybe if you didn't add so much fancy stuff in with your turns, you could improve a lot more on your technique. please don't think i mean badly, im just giving you some friendly advice!

[danceluver1355]

spot more and bring your leg up more

[dancewithyourheart02]

hay dont listen to all them your really good their all just trying to bring you down because there jelous! no offence to all you people but what you have said is really harsh. cheers rhe x

[vivula94]

ehm...

[accebereroom]

she's not very good.

[FouetteFreak95]

practice, pracitice, practice...

Cuz that was bad!

[Ryan935]

Bad arms you have use them always.

And your falling in the turns butt

I'm sure u'll get it.

[Danzersss91]

your arms droop a little but they are good turns.

[heyyouarestupid]

that was pretty bad.. ive seen a lot worse but that was still pretty bad...you need to fix your back... the fact that you are not using it is going to make it much harder for you to turn... pull your shoulder blades back and feel that connection. also keep the shape of your back straight with a slight natural curve.

[balletkido]

YOU NEED MORE PRESENCE

you are a beautiful young dancer but u have to look like u enjoy it!!!

[eillomrose123]

haha i like how that was amazing and then after you hear "pretty good"

they must have pretty high standards wherever you are

[Pagiazzetta]

èèèèèè!!!!!bravaa!

[dancearecul]

thats nice

[annreneen]

bad arms

[sytan22]

try doing less turns and slower, work more on turn out and better posture =)

[LePetitDanseur2010]

those weren't too bad.

[cellolove7]

Those were really good. skinny skinny skinny skinny

[stefidoo]

well you kinda have to be cos otherwise your feet have extra weight on them...

[cellolove7]

Yeah i know. That's one reason why I'm not that serious about ballet!

[Jenners1456]

good job! i dont know but thise is just wat i saw bc you were going really fast, if its ballet you need to turn your leg out, but good job! im not saying im any better than you! haha

[supnaturalgirl]

Not to be mean but that was a awufal fouette actually the worst one I have seen no affence. Just work on you're arms, you're posture, keeping you're head up and you're leg a little higher

[karriiii]

You could have seen worse! Don't say that this was the worst you've seen as I know plenty of people who would never even be able to do one, never mind many!

[awesomegenius1]

poor poor poor form! this was disgusting to watch!

[balletkido]

more presence!

it looks like u dont enjoy dancing

[mowie4eva]

How old are you in this video??

[jlrdancer1988]

u need to keep ur leg the same highth

[harmonyyyJ]

your arms look like gummy worms

[strangesugarfairy]

that one made me laugh

[harmonyyyJ]

hahahaaa thnks

[kekkamalibu]

mmm le braccia non sono messe tanti bene... ne ho visti di meglio...

[uppetshow]

very nice try you girl...pay more attention to your arms it will help your spot and your turn as well... try to relax ur shoulders a bit...great try keep it up, keep dancing

[Rachel0625]

[LovinHollisterB]

a little stiff but yea that was totally awesome!

[wolbaal]

damn!!!!! that whas good!!!

[pianobello]

For her age, she is amazing! She should relax her hands, and round her arms. Other than that I think she's amazing.

[Jenners1456]

unhunch your back, round your arms, dont flick it forward bring it into a 90 degree angle.

[napoleon413]

her arms werent very good and her technique wasnt the best

[Mijnaxx]

I think your good!!

[coachpursegrl4]

oooooo not to good

[eloisefig]

you people are so mean. For her age, she's doin pretty darn well. Keep up the good work.

[Hamstringmaster]

arms are nasty and her shoulders are all slumped  and she's kinda spazzy

[fruitcakexox1122]

[strongflyer]

[odilestarr]

[blondejuicyfancy]

[likexwhoa0]

You need to fix your arms, but otherwise nice turns =]

[edsterballet]

[JBloveforever7]

but otherwise those are good.(:

[babyxxemoballerinaxx]

YOUR ARMS ahhh!!! but other wise you have nice turns

[misstude12]

fix your arms

otherwize very good =]=]=]

[lianaaaxox]

seriously, fix your arms.

[sabgirl08]

fix ur arms!

[mileymcfan]

very good but point and maybe slow down and try to get it right, dont worry about the speed just work on the technique! but great job!!

[yorkiegilr159]

use your back a bit more and i'd lower your arms. feel as if there's a scarf tied around your chest pulling your shoulder muscles foward. it REALLY helps :) good luck, your pretty good!

[danceincereal]

arms!arms!arms!

[TinyDancer848]

try to hold your shoulder and arms make the graceful yet held! holding your arms makes the turn look better and feel better

[MJLoover]

Fast, but very GOOD!!!!! :-)

[Neely17]

all she does is need 2 work on it abit, but shes pretty much got it

[s4dancer]

wow her arms bug me. she needs to straighten them when they go out and round them when they come in. duhhh

[cutiealexa]

ummm she needs way more turnout expression keep your foot in passe when you turn and....point your FEET!!!

[nickiashley]

That was really good but she needs to work on her ending posture.

[ilove2danceX12011992]

this has nothing to do with her turns, but after she finishes and begins to walk off, her posture is awful! if she were to improve that, her turns would be so much better!

[theannalise]

I agree. And i teach ballet. She should push her shoulder blades back and down.

[ilove2danceX12011992]

I teach ballet as well, and posture has such a huge impact on technique and execution, not only in ballet, but in any form of dance. She should also straighten out her back, spot faster, and bring her arms up to near shoulder level when in second. She should also cut back on the ending pirouettes so she won't continue to fall out of them.

[slushpuppy159]

my name is kelly and i do ballet too! those were wicked good. and im not just saying that because we have the same name.

[delan08]

fuck you kelly you are so good

[givemearest]

controla tu postura y tus brazos(mas derecha y con forma)

lo mejor!

[asianxatxheart]

elbows (:

if you're going to extend them all the way the make sure your elbows don't make your arms look like chicken wings

not to be offensive !

[2glam4aUsername]

ur just hating

[austinvs]

no s/he isn't, those NEED work. BAD. the coordination is getting there, and that is the hardest part, so for that i applaud her, but her control is SEVERELY lacking. She needs to start with fewer, until she can end in a passé balance, once she has that multiples will happen easier. It is apparent to anyone that she FELL out into fourth position. (and i am not just a "hater" i dance and teach ballet professionally)

[pearl564]

jealousy.... its a problem
