Hey, I'm a dancer and i want some tips on how to improve my turning.?

in flat ballet, i can only do about 2 or 3 turns each time. (on a basic piorette) and i'm pretty sure my center's tight, and i'm spotting pretty fast... anything else i could do?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: straighten the knee of your standing leg completely- imagine its like a tree trunk that goes all the way up through your body.
when beginner do pirouttes they always think to lift up (its understandable, with the straight back and relev㩩, but you really need to think DOWN- ground yourself, soulders down, itll give you much better balance and youll stay up longer (remember- the tree has roots!)
when you go into your turn, itll be your shoulder thatll get you spinning; if your doing a right en dehors then youll want to bring your left soulder around strong to get that momentum.
also, make sure to not spot a moving object/yourself
