Centerwork on Turns & Jumps Level 5: Finis Jhung Ballet Technique Video
If you’ve never done a
pirouette, or are having trouble turning, this is for you. You begin
slowly, making half and full turns on two feet (assemblé soutenu); next,
you make a full turn slowly on a flat foot (promenade); you add movement
to the extended leg (grand rond de jambe) in another promenade; you will
identify the muscles that turn your plié; and finally you will practice
pirouettes en dehors and en dedans, concluding with a pirouette in the
attitude position. Who said you couldn’t turn? Exercises on this video: 1.
