Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
well for pirouettes, work on:
lifting your posse, holding your stomach tighter for better balance, try to spot faster, make sure your arms are positioned correctly, make sure your supporting leg isnt bent, and make sure in your prep that both of your feet are flat on the ground and you have a nice solid plie!. i suggest video tapping yourself doing pirouettes, then go on youtube to see what they should actually look like!. it can take up to a month to get a nice clean single if you constantly practice!. but like i said, it depends!. let me know if you need anymore help :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

listen to blue and also make sure you are not crossing your legs when you prep!. I had one girl who wanted to have her back leg crossed behind her front a bit so she could push harder and she could only do a wobbly single!. We got her to prep right and she got a clean double!. I've noticed a lot of people try doing something like that in there prep!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
