About this Course

Grand pirouettes are some of the most thrilling (and frustrating) parts of ballet. Whether it’s attitude, à la seconde or arabesque, these turns test your placement, strength and coordination like nothing else.

This course is here to help you conquer them. Isabella breaks down the setup, execution and finishing of each grand pirouette, showing you what to focus on, what to let go of, and how to build towards clean, consistent turns. No more hoping for the best. You’ll learn how to know you’ve got it.
