The Art of Pointework Level 5: Pirouettes - Finis Jhung

Purchase The Art of Pointework Level 5: Pirouettes DVD at http://finisjhung.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=72.

DESCRIPTION

Finis shows and explains each exercise, 15-year-old Saige demonstrates on both sides, Finis comments and analyzes, and then Saige repeats the exercise. This video is all about the preparations that create the results. Watch how Saige turns her plié and rolls through her feet. As she starts dancing across the floor, notice how Saige places and works her plié and pushes with her feet, which results in beautifully placed triple pirouettes en dehors. Finis and Saige then concentrate on the en dedans pirouette, showing you how to prepare for these tricky turns so that you will really get on your leg and turn with ease.

Besides giving you technical instructions and demonstrations on everything from simple pirouettes to grand pirouettes en dedans, Finis has also choreographed some of the exercises so that you can work on your dancing skills. And, of course, Saige works on the ballerina's "bread & butter" steps — piqué turns and fouetté turns. After Saige shows her single fouetté turns, she goes on and does doubles. Dance, Ballerina, Dance!

@MorningGlory1901 I can, but I'm not compaining.

[7balletenpointe25]

I wish I could do that. I can do the pirouettes but not the fouettes. I scoop my foot in not just going on pointe. It's actually a lot easier.
