Hey Miliana its me from my other account Lydiolagardener? Well I made a dancing account now. And I can't wait for when I start learning Fouette's. I can do them on flat but probably not en Pointe haha. But you are so good how old are you?

@MsPirouettePrincess I am 15 :)

you are awesome can you do a penchee video!

[ballerinamama]

@99Balletlover Thanks and penchee was my other goal this summer, so I have the footage, i just need to edit it all together :)

Fantastic! I love the sound of your pointe shoe hitting the ground. How long have you been dancing for?

[danceizmyworld]

Great work! I can only do one...while pushing off from the barre. I am NOT a natural turner, especially on my right side.

Your fouettes look pretty good! I'd just say try opening your leg higher; it will help you get up on your leg in the turns and can also stop you from traveling forward so much. I used to have the exact same problem (and I still have that problem on the left :P) And maybe consider starting with a double pirouette if you're comfortable with them, it helps you to get a little more force and momentum. Also, don't pop your plies, but don't sit in them either. Good luck and good job! :)

@mliaab OMG MEE TOOOO!!!!! I thought I was the only person on the face of the earth that does that! It's such a huge relief to know that somebody else shares my left/rightyness

[ballerinamama]

@balstuinsp Thank you! Your beautiful music definitely enhanced my video! 

[MissBallerina17]

The only thing I can say is to straighten your leg when it's not in passe, buy by the looks of the video, I think whoever was correcting you might have been telling you the same thing. Other than that, you are amazing!! I wish I could do that many fouettes on point
