Lessons
included in this class
1. Lesson: Overview
It can be overwhelming to think about everything you need to do at once when you turn. I will explain my approach and how to think about turns.
2. Lesson: What really matters
We as dancers always thrive to push our physical limits, but it’s important to know when to pull back as well. I share a story from my personal experience and what I learned from it.
3. Lesson: Axis & Core
I think about pirouettes in terms of physics. I’ll help you to visualize your axis and integrate your core to maximize your efficiency in turns.
4. Lesson: Balance
I share some exercises to strengthen the ankle and some tips on how to control and stay in balance on demi pointe.
5. Lesson: Learning From Rejection
Rejection hurts. But it’s important to know how to cope with it. I share a story of being rejected and what I learned, as well as another story of how coincidence can lead to opportunities.
6. Lesson: Head & Eyes
There are different techniques in how to use the head while turning.
I will share my approach and how it helps to add more turns.
7. Lesson: Preparation
The preparation decides the fate of the pirouette. I will explain my tips for a solid preparation in order to facilitate a great pirouette.
8. Lesson: Within The Turn
While you are turning you should be able to remain in control.
I explain various techniques to keep your momentum and make adjustments during the turn.
9. Lesson: Into The Finish
It doesn’t count unless you finish well. I share my tips to gain extra momentum at the end of the turn, and arrive at a clean finish to complete the pirouette.
10. Lesson: Advanced Tecnique
Variety is key. Different exercises allow you to practice different coordination. I share some advanced combinations that you can do to improve your pirouette, and explain how you can approach them.
11. Lesson: A La Seconde
I will explain dos and don’ts when you challenge yourself to do tours a la seconde. I share some specific exercises to build your strength so you can conquer this difficult turn.
12. Lesson: Personal Career Advice
For my last lesson, I share my personal advice. Throughout my career I have taken to heart some important concepts that guided me along my path. I offer them now to you.
