Course outline
About this course:
Wouldn’t it be so easy if we could just make our en dehors turns go the opposite direction and instantly have flawless en dedans turns.
En dedans turns come in a variety of pirouettes and there are several ingredients we need to master them.
There are many strong dancers who are still bad turners. It’s not just to do with strength, it’s much more.
Some of those things are turnout and imagery of turn, knowing exactly the sensations one should feel when turning. Without good preparation, understanding of how to use the back, turnout and visualisation, we won’t be able to optimise our turning capabilities.
In this course let’s give you those secret tools so you can be a dancer who can do any turn thrown at them.
Let’s get started!
Course Breakdown:
Welcome to The En Dedans Turns Course. In this Introduction, Isabella will be telling you what it takes to be a good turner and what we will be diving into throughout the course.
Floor Barre is so effective as we know. In this class we will be doing specific floor barre drills to help you understand the sense of initiation of turn. Helping you unlock the turnout sensation we need
Grab your therband. Now we will be doing some barre drills which is going to continue to teach you the sensation of the wrap of the thigh, heel and turnout connection, essential for en dedan turns.
This class is one of my favourites.You may be able to do a turn once but can you do it consistently time after time. That’s a sign of technical strength and understanding. These drills will get you there.
In this lesson we will be working on centre drills which are mostly on the spot building up from half turns to whole turns. Working on the wrap of the body, thigh and heel. A good one to come back to as your medicine
The lesson you’ve been waiting for. Isabella will go over the many En Dedan turns that will come up in your classes, exams or variations giving her expert tips, guidance and advice.
In this final lesson we will be tying all of the turns we have gone over together into one practice exercise. This is so you can work your way up to doing this exercise and all the turns involved perfectly.
