Pirouette is one of the classic dance moves in dance. It is not easy for everyone, but if you are determined and ready to train, you can learn how to pirouette as well as an experienced dancer.

Steps

1. 1 You will need a spacious room with a non-slip floor. Polished wood is not suitable for this purpose, but vinyl or linoleum floors will be just right.
2. 2 Take necessary precautions in the event of a fall. Remove pets and all sharp and dangerous objects from the room.
3. 3 Decide what you will have on your feet. Spinning in socks on a slippery floor is fraught with falling, and spinning barefoot is too difficult. Either ballet shoes or jazz shoes are best. If you don't have them, you can try dancing barefoot on the carpet. You can also try modern shoes like CapezioFootUndeez or Dance Paws.
4. 4 Start with single turns.
5. 5 Work out the position prior to rotation. Your retire position must be flawless before starting the rotation.
   • The toe should be at or above the knee.
   • Do not place the working foot perpendicular to the supporting leg. You should feel support in your hip.
   • Pull in your stomach, tilt your shoulders back. Keep your shoulders at the same height as your hips.
   • Straighten your supporting leg.
   • Your toes should be as high as possible.
6. 6 Place your stops in fourth position. When turning to the right, the left foot should be extended forward. Distribute your weight evenly across both feet so you can push off with your right foot.
7. 7 Bend your right hand in front of you, palm to the body, elbow slightly to the side. The toes are just above the abdomen. The shoulder is laid back.
8. 8 Extend your left arm to the side, palm forward, slightly below shoulder level. Do not pull your elbow back.
9. 9 Bend your knees.
10. 10 Push hard with your right foot into retire position on releve. At the same time, move your left hand to the first position and rotate to the right.
11. 11 While turning, look at one point on the wall at eye level. As you turn, try to keep her in sight at all times. With each turn, you will have to turn your head to find that point again. This is called spotting (from the English 'spot' - a spot, a point).
12. 12 After finishing your workout, return to fifth position.
13. 13 Always smile. Don't give up when something doesn't work out for you. Just practice over and over; At first, you may be disheartened by the thought that nothing is working out, but all the dancers practice pirouettes, fall and stumble, even during performances.

Tips

• Make sure your hips are at shoulder level when pivoting and your spine should not be curved. This will provide you with a good balance.
• Keep your supporting leg gracefully and straight as you turn.
• Do not give up! It is very important to be confident in your turns in class.
• Try to keep your balance at the end of each turn before trying a few turns.
• Use your imagination! Imagine that someone is tugging on the string at the top of your head.
• Keep the support knee straight and taut. This will help support yourself.
• The dramatic increase in height can upset your balance a little. If you are growing up and your dancing abilities are not what they used to be, do not despair - over time, they will return to you along with balance.
• Concentrate not on the bend, but on how to get as high as possible. The turn will turn out when you learn to "go up".
• It is important to suck in your belly so that you look beautiful.
• Keep your torso taut to maintain balance.

Warnings

• When you try to pirouette, you can hurt your pets or spouse, you can ruin fragile objects, power tools, cars, sharp objects. You can also hurt your pride. So get ready to tidy things up.

What do you need

• Appropriate clothing: one that is comfortable and easy for you to move around in, whether it's leotards or your pajamas. Most likely, you should not wear a dress, and neither should jeans.
• Large outdoor area: You will feel better and ultimately have a great pirouette if you don't have to worry about bumping into something.
