Question: I need help with fast pirouettes in a dance!?
At the end of one of the jazz dances I'm in for our holiday show, there are two single pirouettes and one double!. I can't manage to keep my balance!. How can I do all of the turns cleanly!? I'm in an advanced class and there are only six dancers in the dance!. The turns are at the end, so it's important for all of us to finish cleanly!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

be crisp and precise!. i know this is a taunting statement, but it helps, trust me!. make sure you don't off set your "balance box" the four corners of your balance and make sure you practice the idea and go over everything slowly and on your own time!. think up rather than around!. however many seconds you can balance without wiggling is however many pirouettes you can do!. be sure you're getting all the way up on your releve!. go over and over it in your head!. ask yourself, what moves first!? my arm!. what moves second!? the other arm closes in to meet it!. and so on and so on!. don't wind up, it really doesn't help!. be sure that your arms are exactly how they need to be!. bad arms can throw you off no matter how well you can balance!. don't leave one shoulder behind or drop your elbows and make sure your arms are straight out from your belly button !.!.!. unless you're choreographed to do something else!. and of course!.!.!. practice! practice! practice! become obsessed to a point where you HAVE to let your body take over!. don't think too much but don't throw yourself around and expect to get it!. :) good luck! hope your holiday show is great!Www@QuestionHome@Com
