http://www.fitforafeast.com/dance.htm Dance how to do pirouettes. Start with a single pirouette and work your way up to a double pirouette, triple pirouette and more. Pirouettes are not only used in ballet but in many types of jazz and modern dance as well, or in any dance routine spinning is called for. Not only for broadway performers, pirouettes are a basic dance move that you can master with practise. A pirouett is also combined with other turns to create interesting spinning moves. Skaters also need to learn the fundamentals of spinning without getting dizzy. Hope this pirouette tutorial dance lesson helps you with your turns!

  • I just learned a single pirouette today....But how would I know when I "master" it? Every time I attempt it, I do it flawlessly? Actually, I've attempted a double pirouette..but, idk, when I finish a single pirouette. I guess I just naturally stop.... I think I just don't "push off" hard enough for a double. Or is it something else? Any tips? Oh, by the way, what's it called when, like, you do a pirouette, but the you kind of, like, let your right leg go, and let it spin in the air?

  • @winxclubfantotally you have to realy pull up in your core to do multiple spins. The one with the leg to the side is called a la seconde - or pump turns for slang

  • @fitforafeast I can do 3, but then when I try 4 I wobble on the fourth turn, and how can I do those turns where you put you're leg out when you are doing them?

  • @TheBeki98 those are called pump or a la seconde turns - we have a tutorial

  • this video was really helpful, but when i pirouette, i can hold a single but when i go for a double i tilt and travel. tips?

  • @sparklesglitzandglam make sure you spot & find your center - pull up in your core - dont try to just spin to the side
