    Pirouette Course En Dehors!
    41:00

    In this course I will be sharing all my exercises, tips and technique to getting consistent and good pirouettes en dehors. We will be talking specifically about turns from 4th and 5th position. I practiced so much in school to get my turns excellent. It became normal for me to do 4 or 5 every time from 4th. You want the doubles and triples to be easy! Here I will help you understand the muscles required, the co ordination and so much more Suitable for all levels!

    Meet your teacher.
