In R.A.D they teach you like this:

1.prepare for a normal perroute.
2. once you have done a single, plie with your leg out towards the corner (crosse)
3. turn with your leg out until you reach the other corner
4. quickly bring your leg in to do a full turn
5. REPEAT

I hope that this helps

like a russian but you circle ur leg around instead of opening to the front

a russian is a double beat foutte. the best way to start practicing it is to do it at the bar. prep to second, (youre free leg will be the one away from the bar). depending no how your teacher wants it, you will then either turn en de hord in passe or in a low skater then into passe. if youre doing russian method, this is where the leg in passe goes to double beat, front back. as you complete the turn, extend the free leg on a diagonal across the standing leg, carry to second and repeat as you start the second roatation. while youre at the bar, grab the bra and stop yourself each time you lower into demi, which is when the leg is extended. that way, you learn to control the rise and fall, as well as the momentum of the turn. move to centre as you get more comfortable.
