Nice editing. All lovely, but I think the flexibility of her back makes her Bielmann spins especially beautiful. Actually, there is a *little* room for comparison. One of the reasons male skaters and dancers (esp parody groups like the Trocks can give the ladies a run for their money one multiple fouettes or Axels is that they have so much more upper body strength so they pull in faster and harder when they need the extra impetus to get around. Believe the programs are sill around
Figure skaters do not spot. There would be no point in spotting in some of those positions when your head is down, or facing the ice. Skaters just spin, and over time learn not to be dizzy from it.
So... What is an ice skating pirouette? I mean, she's doing tons of different amazing things, but what is the definite definition? I know about the one for dancing, but not for this...
They don't technically count as pirouttes the same way. Like in skating doing ten rotations in a spin isn't really a big deal, even beginnrs can do that, but being able to do ten pirouettes en pointe or flat for ballet is considered amazing. It's harder in different ways. I skate and dance too :)
I have done competitive ice skating and ballet (including pointe). This is a video of SPINS. Spins in skating are not even comparable to pirouettes in ballet. Yes, they are both a turning motion. They are both equally difficult but in very different ways. Spins require balance, momentum, and accurate body position which is similar but also different to pirouettes which require spotting. Remember when your ballet teacher told you not to spin your turns?
I'm not saying they're easy (I'm a ballet dancer and would never be able to do those) but they're probably easier in a skate because you could use the fact that your foot is flat and the hyperextension of your leg to balance you.
I don't know though, I've never tried it. And probably never will.
@ilovebenton When you do spins on ice, you do them on a the "sweet spot" of the blade. Ice skaters spin on those spots. So their foot isn't "flat" on the ice.
I don't do either, but from what I can tell, none of these would be possible en pointe, on the point of the foot as ballet requires. I imagine you'd fall over in a second if your body wasn't straight.
Do these technicly COUNT as "piroettes" in the sense that those in ballet do? Actually in reality I think these may be harder but I would not know.....I do neither ballet nor iceskating

Pirouettes and spins are very different.

Do Figure skaters spot when they turn? It doesn't look like it but It seems like it would be hard to keep your center without spotting.

@llunchbox I've seen a really good dancer able to do pirouettes like the first ones she did without falling,

i think they would actually be a lot easier, since you have no traction working against you and a wider platform to balance on.

She looks like one of those dolls in jewleryboxes, that just twirls and twirls and twirls. Beatiful music!
