Pirouettes and Turns
* Before you go into your pirouette make sure your hips and your body are placed correctly.
* When you start your pirouette in 4th make sure you plie so you can go right into your turn.
* Before you turn make sure you pick something at eye-level to sight.
* While you are turning make sure you keep turning your head to your spot you picked to focus on, and make sure you keep pressing your leg out.
* Keep your arms right in front of you and make sure they are even.
* Keep your hands together during turns.
* When you do other turns for ex: piques, chaines, etc. also make sure you keep turning your head so that it gets there before your body.
* When you are doing a pirouette make sure you keep pulling up your thighs.
