They're doing it from 14-22 seconds!.
I have to teach a group of kids how to do that by Sunday, and I don't even know what it's called!.
If you know, you don't have to give me steps, just the name!.
Thank you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

okay please listen to me because everyone else is wrong!. Its called an A La second turn because your leg is in second position!. It is similar to a fouette but in a fouette your leg whips into passe every time you go around!. In an a la second turn your leg stays straight out!. Hope this helps!

There are two names for it, a fuette and a pirouette!. make sure your students push down through their supporting leg and keep a spot (on the wall or their eyes in a mirror), to help maintain balance!. also the most important aspect of doing a good turn is how you start off!. if you're not in a good starting position, then everything will fall apart!. an example of a good starting position is feet in parallel fourth and arms in straight sixth!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

idk how to spell it but i think it is just like fuetay (at least i think that is the pronounceation but i know that is not how u spell it!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Straight leg pirouette!. Will be very difficult to teach if a basic three point turn has not first been mastered as well as excellent spotting!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
