Sae Eun Park Black Swan Coda Amazing Fouettes from Swan Lake ballet

[avesraggiana]

It's always thrilling to watch a natural legato dancer take on a bravura step like fouettes because it's not a step that comes naturally to them and when they can do them, they add a finesse and a smoothness of execution that's sometimes not seen in allegro dancers or natural turners for that matter.

i thought 32 turns for black swan just story in comic, it's real!

[EtrangerStranger]

Amazing! You can totally see her getting tired near the end, but that is expected!

Brava!

hey i'm curious as to how the counting process works, do the pirouettes between the fouettes count as part of the 32? or is it 32 fouettes and extra pirouettes?

@mhss0001 The girl needs to fouette for all 32 counts of the music. If someone pirouettes enough long enough they do less than 32 fouettes. Here she does one fouette every other beat for the first 24 counts.

I actually think that when someone does so many extra pirouettes the power of the step is lost since the fouettes are no longer as musical. To see fouettes that have extra pirouettes and are still musical see the clip of Gillian Murphe of ABT doing them.

@mhss0001 If it were only singles it would be 32 in about 29 seconds, but if you add multiples you will do less actually fouettés and more rotations, otherwise you would run out of music. Was that vague? Hahah LOL, if it was, just ask and I'll try to explain better, but you can also try counting all singles versus a mixture, or you could try counting all doubles. There was a performance on TV of Polina Semionova doing all doubles in the Bourmeister version, so she would do 16? Haha but yes :)
