As the dance world continues to expect more and more turns out of dancers, it's important to remember the essential components to a good turn.
1) make sure to start out in a deep plié preparation, this will help you with your momentum
2) as you begin your turn, pull up and straighten your supporting leg and push into the ground to create opposition
3) make sure your arms are not what propel you around..SPOT!!
4) engage your abdominals to help you better balance in multiple turns
5) connect your foot to passé
For fouetté turns,
1)keep your leg at 90 degrees the whole time..no dipping!
2) open your arms as you open your leg to the front
3) do not scoop your leg to help you get around- the only positions your leg should hit are front, side, and passé
4) as always..HIGH RELEVÉ
5) don't plié while your leg is in passé
Hope this helps you turn like a top!! As always, practice makes perfect!
