I agree that I need to spot, as it always helps with chainées, but I always manage to forget for pirouettes! Haha, thanks again :D xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677705653939574592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918254998103658231.post-66881735917090029072014-06-22T07:35:20.637+01:002014-06-22T07:35:20.637+01:00There are always those times when you feel discour...There are always those times when you feel discouraged, but just have confidence and practice! I don't have any tips for pointe work because I don't do it yet (I'm 12), but I do have tips for pirouettes. If you can't quite get it en pointe, try it on flat. Make sure to spot, too. Spotting is extremely important because it keeps you balanced. (It also helps get you around, especially when doing multiple pirouettes.) Once you are successful on that, go on the barre, and releve into pirouette position without turning. That way you'll get the correct movement. After you have the correct placement, try it for real. Keep on practicing that, and you'll eventually get it. :) Good luck!Phiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01539642890177467035noreply@blogger.com
