If I were you, I'd first go to the American Ballet Theatre's online ballet dictionary (just type in "Ballet Dictionary" on google)!. Read through they're words and phrases, and practice some two!. Then, go on YouTube, and type in "Pirouette" or "Ballet" or whatever move you'd like to learn, I've found this to be very helpful!. also, I learned how to perfect my turns by typing in "Pirouette" right here in YahooAnswers, some of the answers were really helpful!. Good Luck!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

First off, they are called turns in ballet, never spins!. You shouldn't EVER attempt to learn ballet without a qualified teacher!. Anyone who promises to teach you ballet online is just scamming you out of your money!. Ballet is extremely difficult!. It takes years just to learn the basics!. We're talking at least 3 years to master the easiest things!. There is no way to teach yourself, even with someone's help online!. also, turns are probably the most difficult part of ballet to do properly!. To say I "just" want to do the turns is impossible!. Every move in ballet is based off some of the basic positions and movements, and without knowing them there is no way to execute any of the more complex steps like a turn of any sort!. To try this without any sort of basic training is dangerous because without learning things like turnout, the proper alignment etc!.!.!. you could do serious damage to your knees and other joints!. My advice is to go a bit out of your way to look for classes!. I drive an hour round trip every day for my classes!. Even just one a week would help!.

It's helpful to prepare for you classes by learning positions and movements and familiarizing yourself with the words!. You can learn many here:

You can also watch youtube videos to watch the movements and get into a ballet state of mind!.
