These are really good! Have you seen Austin eder's new video?

@helly7766 thanks and YES! Love her!

try not to move your back leg after you place it down. also try and hold the second pirouette on releve. it looks a lot nicer :)

[mydancetv]

@asuncmel that's how we are taught to do it actually- moving the foot/leg in first. I guess that goes away at some point. Yes holding it is a goal but really hard for me right now. Thanks for the tips will keep at it! =)

you inspire me and are such a good dancer! ive just started pointe and would love to be as good as you one day! i may be starting the northern ballet school in the uk which is quite a big dance school .... do you have any advice for coming of the barre en pointe?xxx

[mydancetv]

@georgiaballet96 you just need to build up strength - your teacher will know =) work your core a lot of people forget about that including me! it helps.

It looks really good. The only bad habit I had to train myself out of was starting to go into releve before your foot is in passe. It's tricky on pointe, but all you have to do is get your working leg into passe more quickly. Feel how sharp the movement is.

dont prop your self up onto pointe! go up fast before you start turning :)

[georgiaballet96]
