Today’s turns are another example of a ballet turn, but honestly they are pretty much the same as what we did yesterday. So just give them a try and if you don’t like them you never have to do them again!! I find them to be lots of fun and a great turn to practice […]
The theme for today is LESS IS MORE. Just because now we are actually turning in the piroutte does not mean that everything we just worked on goes out the window. In order to add the turn we really don’t have to do anything different. The ONLY thing I want you to add today is […]
