Question:

I have been a dancer now for a while.......?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: do you mean a Fouete turn? if so, it will take a lot of practice to master it. i know it took me several years to get good at them.

first warm up. do some doubles and make sure you can hold your balance well.
before you begin the actual turn, stand at the bar nd practice fouetes without turning. extend your leg in front of you, 90 degrees, and bend your supporting leg. then, keeping your hips correctly aligned, bring your leg out to second keeping it as close to 90 degrees as possible. at the same time, straighten your leg and rise to releve. last, bring your leg back to passe.

try those fouetes without turning for a while. once you feel comfortable with them, you can add in the turn. be sure to stand up straight and find your center as you turn.

GOOD LUCK!

with practice, you will be good at them soon :)
