Keep your turning leg straight! That is probably the root of all your balence issues!. Start grounded, and concentrate on quality, rather than quantity!. You have potential, but you need to go back and MASTER the basics, before you start all of the fun stuff, and it will DEFINATELY pay off :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

For your turns, remember to keep your standing leg straight!. Another way to keep your balance better is (especially in stepping turns, such as piqués) to take smaller steps!. That way, it takes a lot less time to switch your body weight from one place to another, which makes everything cleaner!. You might also try going higher on relevé (not sure if it's called something else in jazz, sorry) if you can!. Keep practicing!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I wouldn't consider your improv to be dancing!.!.!.!.!.but your turns are great!. Point your toe more on your fouettes, and be sure to turn your leg and foot out!. Don't forget to straighten your supporting leg when you open!. And Peceas have turned out legs, yours was turned in!.


Keep up the good work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

your choreography isn't too good, and your execution wasn't either, but thats because I think that you're trying to be a better dancer than you are!. Stick to more simple dance styles until you get better technique, because right now, it looks a bit sloppy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your turns are fine, but the improv isn't that great!. Lyrical is supposed to flow and have emotion, and you just looks like you're just doing some moves you memorized off of paper!. It looks awkward!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

turns are quite good, but use your core more and take it slowly and get them solid before starting anything hard!.
the lyrical looks not quite right, and you should stick to simpler stuff to develop your skills!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

your turns are good!.
you just need to keep your balance cuz it looks like your about to fall!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You are getting better, yet still beginner!. Practice Balance (:Www@QuestionHome@Com
