No problem! I made this video when I was just learning them, so I'm sorry for the examples being so poor.

Love the leotard color....and what's the difference between en dehors and en dedan

[yonums]

Thanks! :)

En dedan means toward the supporting leg. So, when doing pique to the right, step on your right leg and pick up your left (like at 0:10).

En dehors means away from the supporting leg. So, when doing pique to the right, step on your left leg and pick up your right (like at about 0:14). I was doing en dedan, then en dehors and I kept switching back and forth.

I think I might know why you've been having a hard time with turns. I think (by watching this) that maybe... try spotting faster, and whipping your left arm around faster.

make sure you dont step in between piques its just pique then you stop in plea(sp) pique

[sirlancee]

you are doing piques and step ups.

which is why the legs are switching.

and relax your arms, you look kinda stiff.

but keep up the good work.

pique to the right is with your left leg up..

you are doing both right and left..which is kinda weird.
