1. Introduction: Hi, welcome to up by
a beginner course. In this course
you'll learn about the four different components
we need for a pair x. So our legs and our head. We will also learn about the correct alignment and
posture needed for its hand. And there'll be lots
of tips and tricks to perfect your technique and getting these findings smoothly. Every day starts with
strengthening exercises. Before gradually
building or technique. I'm breaking down
the key elements for each lesson is around
20 minutes and is brought to you
by my ballet coach.
2. Beginner Pirouette Course Day 1: Hi, welcome, see you off by day began to appear Rex course. In this course
you'll learn about the four different
components we need for. Our legs are cool, arms and I'll head. You'll also learn about the correct alignment and
posture needed for tan. And there'll be lots
of tips and tricks to perfect your technique and
getting the turning smoothly. Again after Bob. I'll copy it into
third position. If you're not familiar
with the position, the heel of your front foot goes in to the
arch of your back. Toes are pointing in
opposite directions. We squeeze the glutes. Tummy Nelson said I could use
spine, lengthen the spine, rib-cage, close and open your hips and they're
leaning backwards. Then shows us nice and open. Neck long and head relaxed. Then you should have a feeling
of Anthony's your armpits. You want to be
really lifted onto those armpits and not
squeezing them into your body. We're going to tap
to something called a relevate with teary. You may have heard
a relevant relevant before where we go
from a cliche up until identity points
or relevate with hearing goes from a cliche
in your third position. If you're working on this. And then on one leg with the leg they're tearing and your
standing leg on Danny points. Let's have a quick
look at this position. He went to knee facing
to the side and no big toe pointing
just in front. So what we don't want this
this knee coming fluids and we don't want to press your
business, your leg. You want just the tip
of a big turnout, touching and really liked
feeling in this working leg. So we're not pressing
into that standing leg. You don't want your
hips to live either. From your hips up. Nothing should mean. Just working in the
hip socket here. As you'll fit,
travels up the leg. You want to stay on what
we call your center axis, which is a straight line
from your working leg. So your standing
leg all the way up, hostile Toni Morrison, posture. Your heads. So let's just have a look at
our center axis because it changes depending on the
position of sentencing. For example, if you're
standing in first position, you'll center axis is going
to be between your heels. So a really symmetrical. When we stand on one leg, you're going to have to move
your center axis over onto that standing leg so that it's now in the middle of
your standing foot. If we don't move it, we're going to
feel very heavy on his side and they're going
to want to fall over. Now, shifting weight onto your standing leg does not mean lifting the hips,
twisting the body. You stay the same. You see nice and level
and just slide it across. If you were wearing
a tutu or if you had a balance that's going
to stay readied up, that's not going
to lift or twice. It's going to stay in
line with your bottle. So when we go from
the fifth position, It's really important that
this working leg rules align up hill standing leg
until it gets to your knee. And then it draws that same line all the way back down
so that we're not going out and in or you're just going
straight up, straight down. When we come into the sentence that we're going to start off by looking at paragraphs
from fifth position. The focus really is on the legs. The legs do all the work. It's not in the upper body, obviously the arms and
the head, they help you. But you should be able to
tell just with the legs. At the bar, we're going to
look at strengthening the leg, strengthening the
position and posture and the enlightenment and your
preparation for parents. Say we're going to practice from a PA straight up through
a relevant material. Next is how I shifted my way to cross without
lifting my hips. And there's no tension in
my neck or my shoulders, then I'm going to try
and take a balance. Maybe you just take
one hand off for now. We'll maybe you just lift off half of the hand so your
fingers are touching the ball. And then we're going to lift this working leg over
on me so that we can close behind you taking a front fit up
the front of the leg. We've tested that balance, however, whatever you can do. And then we lift up and over, squeeze in nice alphabets here, and then back down that sense
access without coming away. Take a minute to check
your posture because it's. Very common for people to go. But when they go to, they tried to take the work in the shoulders
and the upper body. You should be very peaceful
from the hands-on. Know what is going on. It's called from
the legs, the case. So let's try for fees on
one leg and then we'll switch to the east in that
position, right foot friends. Check her posture. Are free game. Play. With to get it done quickly. Test your balance. Whatever balance you can. Keep this demi
point really high. Then that heel drop, keep it up, up, up, and then lift up. Ladies behind. Play is your safe space. This is where you're
going to find your balance and you're going to compare for what you do next. It's also going to
cushion on anything. You get used to being
comfortable in your p.sit. Bring that right foot front. So we're gonna do the same
again, another three times. Faster elevating up and over. Don't change your alignments. Again. Bring that right foot
front to check your pasta. It's not in the upper body,
it's just another day. Test to balance focus the eyes. Nothing changes when
you take your balance. Lift up and over the
knee, plays behind. Bring that right foot. Friends might be
getting a bit sauna. Relevant to your life. Keep the high demi
point to you and I might have it so often. Place a line. Now we've got the
left leg front of us. We're going to do the
same on the left. So the way to want to
go onto your right leg, straight line, standing leg. Test your balance. Now lift without
changing the hips. You're just lifting the thigh without changing the hip bones. Can I use that name? Behind? We do another one. The reason why we lift
the psi before we close is because you're
creating space in the hips and just trying to get the most out of your balance. So pulling up, up, up, lengthening as high as you
can before you come down. If we don't lift, you can just feel
like you're being pulled down by the leg. You're going to end the
term hybrid shortly. I lifting before we let
squeezing a nice asked the parents squeeze
myself step parents keep telling my daughter. Play nothing mediation test to finish the job without me into the center. Coming into the sentence now, make sure you have
a nice clear space and that you're wearing a, the ballet shoes or
socks and that you'll floor isn't too
slippery or competence, so there's not too
much friction. Pumping the thesis, I said position with the
right foot friends. Again to start by looking
at the coordination of the inside position. If you've got your
right foot friends, we're going to take
the right curve. Is going to be opening on. Your left arm will be
stretched out to the sides, since been third position. And this is your chasing. Pirouettes we're going
to learn this week are also pass through three
different positions. Position, second
position, position. So let's look at
the coordination. When your arms are
in third position, your knees are straight. As you bend your knees, you're going to open
your arms to second. And as you were tearing the arms are going
to come to first. Say that we're turning in
a really compact shape. So we stopped and said, you've got your
right foot front. So the rhizome is curved. As you bend the arms open. As you come to know to make sure that your arms are going on an
angle or twisting. It sometimes helps to
imagine that two wrongs approaching alone accounts
the top or as a flat surface. And the first is brushing off
from the back of the hand. And the second on is scooping those chromosomes so that your arms stay on
the same level. On an ankle. Play together. You can also imagine that it's a little bit
like frustrated. So the arms are opening and closing as the knees
bend and straighten. Try that with the
other ones in front. You've got your left
foot in front of my left arm is curved, straight knees. And lower. Play. With tere. Also looking at the arms, I'm just going to
touch back briefly because obviously
connected TO back. And if you're not using one correctly, it's
very different. Difficult to UC other
element, correct. Facing the back. When you're on Zoom
fast position. Your shoulder blades
should be down. Squeezing your shoulder blades, you may hide some flat
shape, not pushing out. And then I'll pointed and
I'll show this uncomfortable. So shoulder blades down,
squeezing together. You in two seconds and close. You're going to try
and keep this feeling. It's down squeezing. And this will mean
that you're really using your lungs at the side. So pushing down. You should also feel like if someone wants
to try and push your arms down there so strong that there's
gonna be resistance, that they're not paying anymore. So you're really using those wax heading down the
shoulder blades. Said second and fast. And just to touch on the core, lots of people lean backwards as they turn and they
take it all in the chest. And they've got to say make sure all times that your core
is very strong and stable. It's not moving. The Tommie Smith has
things the back of your spine so that your
ribcage is over your hips. And then you've got the
shoulder blades pressing down. Nice open chest. If our chest curves inwards, that's going to mess
up our alignments. And also the stuff that great. We've got show basing gauge that's pulling down
elevates lifted. Says second. Hey, now move it to
the coordination of the arms are going
to have a look at the coordination of the legs
and arms without the bar. We've been working on
the relevance here, right and lower down. And we're going to
try and stay on our standing leg with all correct alignment
of our center axis. We're gonna make sure we're
not leaning backwards, so not lifting the hips for
not opening up the rib-cage, lifting the shoulders
and the chin, everything from
the hits upstairs. Nice and still lifting that
thigh, lifting the knee. So then it went up pressing
into the standing leg, following the line
of the front of the leg and then following that straight line to come back. So that's just the legs
with no bar or Frigyes. Say just play and relevant material for
the baby's hearing and make sure you
have the bends. This is going to save you. It's going to be your brakes, it's going to be what helps
you find your balance again to get really
comfortable and Nokia, strong ankles for
the babies here I am going to see for these on one leg
and then for the other. As with hands-on
ways to begin with, for one of the rights of free. Relevant to me, I renovated
considering the fittest, the front of the knee
during a straight line up, straight line down. Here. And again, rather David's
hearing, speaking fees, saying it to the front
of the baby's hearing, ba stretch, keep
those hips level, chest and all of the strands. Now adding the arms. So just one quick recap. Those things be
opened on the PA. Close on the rise. We reset the clothes
on the rise. Okay. Full-time. Relevant. It might take a few practices is the coordination isn't evidence. It is quite tricky. Say the last time
in forensic up the left arm, left arm opens, and then they boast relevant. Resets. My favorite to me, recently, renovated ceiling, reset, pin, clothes. Well done. Aac for our final
exercise today, we all games today. There is no pressure
on doing full ten. I'm going to know
good to try and turn on Debbie points
on all run a bank. We're going to turn
with the foot flat. And I want the focus to
be on the position at the core of your upper body and the coordination of the arm. If you also want to bring this for subscripts
here, and that's great. But if you just want
to focus on the core and the arms for now,
that's also fine. What we're going to do,
our goal is to do a 10.5 even if he just got a
call to time, that's fine. I just want you to
get the feeling of what the beginning of
the Tange feel like, what the coordination of the
arms and the legs should be. So again, I just say
one small we are not going up and to
Danny quite yet. But keeping the
foot on the floor, say peaks inside position. Since that position, my
games to bike pedestrian. And then you're going to think
about this second chasing, as you tell me, because her breakfast in France. So we're going to be turning to the right as we can
cut that fence. So I'll just show you a cool to ten so you can see the
direction I'm moving in, moving this way, bringing my hips and my
shoulders with me. I'm not fighting for rights and keeping that foot
flat on the floor. So let's try to get right. But friends fees inset pace to fast picking up
the front of it. That's trying what smells
same thing. Cleaning. Mean that kid, make sure
you're squeezing those abs. If you feel like you are
pulling back pumps a lot, maybe try overcompensating
for the time being. So bring your body, move
forward somewhat feels natural and hopefully it will realign as he gets stronger. That's try going possible to tenants, ideally,
a half-time. It can't perform fits. Following this on
that opens that in that second bomb come
in and place too fast. It all happens quickly. Your pH should be nice and
squeezy. Take your time. And there were t rate and the old spacing should be false. So you'd get a hold
that position. I'll forget a name
from law school. I can't Let's try
the other side. Left leg is France, means left arm is carved. We're lifting the left leg
with learning to stay. I'm gonna sense Roxy cool to know rather than
fences fast on the flow. Just turning on, pivoting
on the balls of the feet. Lift up the front leg. The small really
check your posture. In front leg, arms
too fast. Okay. Let's try a half. Haven't or he's just go, somebody come in. First position. Let's try everything
won't small. C on the right. Right. Good friends. Off we go. Again. This front leg, it should
just be coming straight up and straight back down
again into position. So one straight line
with your front leg ups the knee and left
leg in front. Left. Off we go again. We're going to leave
it there for today. And tomorrow we're
going to look at turning on Danny point.
3. Beginner Pirouette Course Day 2: Welcome Today t, Well done
with the surviving say one, I'm making it back. We're going to start
as we did yesterday. Starting at the bar with our feet and our third
or fifth position, if you're working
on a tape measure, It's a friend or pasta. How we're going to look at these relevant materials again, however, with a slight
modification today. To begin the same as
we did yesterday with a shift the weight onto
your standing leg, highway teary and foster Terry. Then we're going to fund
you on that standing leg. So I'm just strengthening
that standing. Really strong friends, hence, we're then going to
test our balance. Remember that you don't have
to take both hands off. You're going to
take one hand off. You could just have the tips
of your fingers touching is that we live in a very nice we're squeezing the Microsoft
impairments hearing for a straight line
down that stunting, then finish up the
a where we relax. Again, we're going to
do four on each leg. I want you to really
focus on your posture. There's no going back, ribcage of your hips. You've got a nice
clean Lindsay-Rae. It's getting stuck
position as fast as you can without pushing
into your standing leg, waist, keeping a hide any point. Coming up tall and your balance. And then we're squeezing
my stomach tearing down. The reason why we're going through struts here
is because if you, if you take your time getting
that cure quite slow, your body all the way along has been making
different calculations. Should be really slow. The body is asking itself, Xiaomi is having to constantly recalculate where it should
be to hold your own balance. Whereas if you get that quickly, your body only has one
calculation. Is that. And that's why it's much
easier to feel body. And it's going to also help
you with your faster turns. If you're really slow getting
up, then it's going to, it's going to slow down the term as well because
you're not as compact. Off. We go right there. Ready? Play onto
your standing leg. It comes from the legs, not from the upper body. We take slate, turned out. Don't let it turning
back to hide any point, balance, lift, squeeze and
they sound security array. Straight lines on bringing
that right fit for this again, three more times play no
role in this PA fungi. You keep your turnouts. Don't sinking that spine,
stay lifted, hands-off. Lift, straight line
down the back.
4. Beginner Pirouette Course Day 3: Phase three, we're going
to start on top bar. However, the day we're
not going to see salting and offside
or fifth position, we're going to stop in
the races thing is, we're going to look at hands
come forth in the center. So if you're not familiar
with both decision, involves space feet separated
one from the other. The gap between
the feet should be roughly the length
of one of your feet. Roughly. Different teachers will
advise a different space, some bigger, some smaller, but more or less, that's kind
of what you're aiming for. Obviously that
extra turns out so the toes are facing
opposite directions. And so it's quite common
informed position is we pushed forwards of
the pelvis because it's a difficult position to hold the leg to the
pelvis so it's nice and flat at the front of your weight should be equal
between both feet. And then of course, just
because they lifted the hips to the front doesn't mean
our upper body goes back. That ribcage is on top of your hips from
your hip bones up. It's one straight line. Weight is in the
middle of advice. Feet, right foot friends. Today we are going to be
lifting up back fit into our retiree Saltzman
PA as we did before. But it's the back foot
that comes up to the knee. So let's just have
a look at that from a size you started okay, sensor. Now to get unstuck from FIT, you're going to have
to go up obviously. But up on a slight
diagonal matrix, you're moving your
weight between both feet on too long
for it honestly can't fix PA up on a diagonal so that you'll know a nice straight line on top of your head to the
tips of your toes. Again, what we don't want this the hips lift
as you get that. None of them. Just as all times from
third or fifth position, I'll hit Save really
still and loud. Hey, what's up? Nothing changes. We keep our core really strong. Fit comes up. Your toes comes to the
front of your knee, not pressing in here, nice and lifted against hostile. Honest. However, you
can do this too, hands-off on, hand off.
This thing is touching. And then guess what? We're lifting up and over that knee squeezing the
nice asked of arbitary, straight line down to
the fourth position. We continue again. Back foot lift. Nice is how I've
gone to my right. Equally distributed
between both feet to read over that standing leg. Straight line the areas up. Rather vagrancy, right? Hands-off. Lift up and over and then a straight line
down your toes and your heels should
keep coming into contact with the
leg in the front. So as we go down to
avoid the cycle, you're going to
start with the toes. Then as it though is it's just the heel and the toes
feet away from the leg. We find that face
position and slide down. Let's do four with
our right leg, front, left foot
out through Terry. Free day. I know how to write. Hits the level, shows a level. Rotate your hips. Hybrids here and
high resume, sorry. Now lift up, it's here. I say school that is a piece of thread going
out through your body. Relax. Find that both positioning. Test your balance. Lift up and over straight lines. Alan, keep the contact
between the legs. Two more. Nice and fast comes
just in France, that knee lift,
straight line down. Nearly that loss
from foster tere. Credit. You see eyes long neck, no tension in the fingers. Lift up and over. Strait Islander,
it comes down yet. Relaxing. Okay. Feel the legs a shake. You might want a little
cough structure as well. If you're not used
to doing mitosis. Now let's talk in front of me. I'm gonna do the same
again on the left side. Take my expense or posture. Everything we talked
about, hips lifted, toes, open shoulders, open
gap between the feet. You are lifting
up her back legs. So your weight is going to
go over that front back. Streets hearing. Thank You. See eyes. We take two bands. One, how about your
alignment should be lift up and over, straight line. Back of the leg. Get separate. The latest forth again, reaches in the
middle. Fossa Terry. Sea ice. Lift, lift the knee up
in a straight line down. Rocks. Maybe that your pasta. Knees bring your toes
onto your front leg. Hi Danny, pointed at the heel, broke down, lift up and over. Behind. Now, one loves him. Play. On Sunday night. Nothing leaves from the hips up. Hold for a bit longer this time. Lift up and over. Clothes stay tool and
now, relax. Good job. Now we're ready to
come into the center. Say for our sentence work today, you'll be actually quite
really say here that what we're going to do is easier
than what we did yesterday. And I'll explain why. Working from fifth
position or from said like you've been doing
is actually considered. I'm working from
fourth position, which is what we've been
practicing at the bar. And it's what we're
going to be doing today in the center. The reason is you've got
pray that looks at work, but if you're from faith, you're working from a
very small platform and you're relying on
just your core strength. Strength in the glutes,
the inner thighs and the ankles and the calves to
get you up and back down. When you're welcome from forth, you've got a much wider platform to use as your springboard. So it's easier. However, unless you can do
a nice clean motivate them. At least quarter or half
turns from fifth position. There's a good chance
you may pick up bad habits when trying
it from fourth position. And your alignment
might be wrong. And these can be bad habits and take a long
time to, um, cake. If you plan helps
do tens for fifth, nice and clean, there's a good chance your terms
from fourth will be great. Let's have a look at
our home position and we're going to put
the right leg behind. This is because it's the
right leg that's coming up. Now, don't confuse this with our fifth position
or a third position. We've been working on
lifting up the right fit. So we've been putting
the right foot front of position is different. The foot that comes up goes to the back and we're lifting that leg up, its forward to it. So I'll keep reminding you
because it's not evidenced in the beginning and
it's quite easy to confuse the two types of tens. Position parents were
lifting our right leg in, right leg goes to the bottom. Now let's have a
look at the arm. When we're working in. We had carved on to match the
leg that's coming up. The arms stay and change. The light that's coming up. Still not just the curved on. So if I'm lifting
up my right leg, I'm curving my rights home. The reason is all curved as our leading arm is
the one we follow. So if we're turning
to the right, we're going to be opening up, rise home and following it. So if you want to
turn to the left, you wouldn't have your
bright tone curve. It makes no sense. Why begin the ten to the right? I need to go the other way. That makes sense. Right foot behind, right
Tom hept feet and forth. In that game, you
play ignorance to second lightweight
is we're going to lift two arbitrary position. Now. I'm not going to
condemning points. We're going to leave
demi point for today. We're just going to
really focus on what makes a good pure wet from full possession heals the same Fermi done
with the ground-state. I want you to try and hold this material for
as long as you can. This is going to
strengthen our hip flexors and it's going to work on
stability of our standing leg. It also forces us to keep our standing leg in position
rather than turning inwards, which a lot of people
do and they parrot, that sounds like timesing. Keeping that heel down, you're forcing yourself
to keep it ready still. Okay. So let's do for these
same coordination with the arms that
we've been working on. Repeated roots here, right? And so again, that
alignments that we talked about at the
bar away or how to shift your weight into
your standing leg. Keep that in mind. Now normal posture, know, being backlit, snaking,
chain twisting. Remember all of them
are free game tomorrow. You re setting the arms again. Let's put the left leg so that we'll fourth position is just
the gap between the feet. Toes pointing in
opposite directions. Hits really lifted rib
cage and your hips, making up the left leg. So a curving the left arm, eventually turning
to reset the arms. Lift. Pushing into that sounding
like you're really lifted and no one else phone. Rather. It's time to look
at how quarters has found forth now,
see how they work. We know how to do all costs tens from proposes that a friend
to picking up your back foot. So we start from
uncle's position. We're not going to do
on demi point today. Like I said, we're going to keep the heel spots on the floor. They're going to play
a role in the arms, pick up the back foot hose behind all this work
we've been doing. But but I think up
and over the knee, that's going to
come into practice. Now, what you shouldn't
do is lift and drop. Because in dropping the fist, you're pulling
your balance down. You must be squeezing the
most sense, if your balance, you lift and lower down. And that's going to
wrinkle free to go back and keep your spine nice
and long and strong. So that's how could
that again? No, no. Rather they play, we're
picking a car, right. I'm turning to the right
up and I go play signs. It's coming to the funds, fund. They can to lactate.
Lactate is behind. Left arm is curved,
but turning around. So I'll play again. Let's try for coarser turns, going around in a circle, everything to the right side. So right behind, right
Tom curved or freedom. What position? Often a physician physician magnet. I was saying on that
effects behind left on his child with
turning to freak out. Both physician physician, physician, one sets the size and
probably guessed it. We're going to look
exactly the same recipe that we've been using this
makeup courses hands. We're going to apply
all the same things, but just give all
ten extra pair. So we get around for half time. Sentence up with the right leg. Right leg is behind it. So don't worry too much
about the head yet. We're going to focus
on the head tomorrow. But if you feel like you
can and you kinda got the legs and you've got
the coordination of the arms and bio
means at the head. But don't worry if
you're not there yet. We'll have a lecture that's far. Right leg is behind, right on this cut with
turning to the right half. So you want your whole body ends up facing the
back of the room. As you pick up a free go. Play in the homes place. If S position he
got the backpack. I'm trying to hold that material
for as long as possible. And time off and I tried to Halton to
make home full-time. Ready for physician financial. Feel sad about this. You'll see why it's
important not to have a cockpits because if
there's too much friction, you are not going
to be turning on a flat foot is
gonna be too hard. It's still pretty
hard. Sanding has any points on competence. So if you have a line, a flow in a wooden floor, maybe even tiles as long
as the Nazis fifth grade, that's your ideal surface. Sites. They left leg behind you
that have done coat, picking up the back
leg and turning to play signs. Another one like that. Right. Now let's do our full-time. So you've got your two hops. That plant comes up
often a physician. Hi, comes up. Often, Ava. Good job. You can now say, I'm tall tens on Danny. From fifth position. I need continued quota and
Horton's from fourth position without your resume tomorrow or let the atom the head
and adding the resume.
5. Beginner Pirouette Course Day 4: Day four, like we did
all the other days. Let's pump out feeds into
full of positioning. Exercise at the buyer is going
to be a bit harder today, but we should have built
up enough strength over the last few days for
this to be possible. However, if you do feel
like you're not quite that, feel free to practice
the exercises today, on day for a few more times
until you feel confident, make them go at your own pace. Right foot friends,
heading up tall. When we go into our
relevate ribs here, we're going to do with opposite and we're also going to do
our milestones entry points. So you have left hand comes off as you
lift up the left leg. We have a fun g.
This is really hard, so please feel free to put
them back down for this one, it's finding other bonus if you can do it with your
hands off as well. Just the tensile strength
and the outcome. But then as you go, Let's
take that hand back. Calm down. We have the A14 comes off right away with
your right hand on the off-field fungi
and backoff again for your lifting up and over the
knee and sliding back down. Again, we're going to do full on each leg and really pay
attention to your posture. So again, if you've got that
mirror or camera filming me, take a moment to check your
hips, check your ribcage, take your shoulders
to Christian isn't lifting other things
well aligned and then truly going or you go into
that standing leg each time saying the piece unfolds off, we go four times. Fantasy eyes. Feel the toes spreading into those heels down. Rather. Find G Kikutake this place behind 3D model,
ready for editing. Here I left off and I
yoga clothes behind. Our time. Hey Kim, if he's helps
for physicians for you. I do. Foster babies here. Psi is lifted as the
fungi hides, any points. Lift up and over. Last one on this side. Relevant material. Stay lifted, hides any point level
if Dr. Maven behind. Relax. Not confident and stretch might also want to give it
a little bit ago, lego. Say now that fits in France
predating everything against. This time you'll be
bringing your right leg up to the friends
with your left knee. And your run time is coming off the bat
into first position. Right foot comes up, right Tom. Take my pen tool balance. Lift. States who are told through
the top of the head of sea level rise and heels down. Three more. Right IPython. Fun. Place behind us as hot. As if you're still with me. You may stop pushing
on the floor by now. I don't my name. A toe. Lift up and over. Slide
that leg back down. Hills since the
floor M1 last one. That comes up. Nice and fast. Fun. G, lift up and over. Straight line down. Really good job. That was a hard exercise as
promised in the sentence. However, instead of console
coats and half turns from fourth position on Dan,
find articles position. Yes. So they work, so I'm
keeping my foot flux. And today we're going
to find that position. Say how about ordination? As you go up and
over the knee are tracing a line effects on
that leg and closing behind. Say that's how it is
coming up with me. If you'd had mostly
going to the head. So remember how we left the
heads, looking to the front. Then straighten
up, became dance. We added the head
and we're working from fifth slash position. It's the same head
when we were out from false. So that's our practice. Right? Behind, right Thomas. Strikes, open, head, strikes. Now, let's try before cools
turns getting to the right. For courts tendons
going into the left. Figure. I don't pasta. Possession. Nice time trying to keep my
violence as long as possible. And I left bakers behind that
Fama's carved out for you. I can play chess, but
that's not true though. In the first position. Last one. Good job. Okay, for our next
exercise, you guys stick. We're going to look at our
half times with our heads, with, with our relevant theory. However, I want you to
think of one extra thing. If you don't already have enough on your plate
to think about. As you lower down
from your resume, I'm going to need to lower
down on your standing leg. Heel is on the floor. Place. There is helium. So you're going to
go on a second neck. The reason is I wouldn't eat B so much on that standing leg, so supported on it that all of your weight is
definitely overlap fit. Nothing is going
out to the side. And if you command only on that standing leg before
the other one comes down, that tells me that you're
on your center axis and we're not wobbling
off our alignment. So let's just practice
without the term fair. Play. The base here, right? Hey, guys. One. Now with a quarter time. What she wants no one to try to not let the hips come forward in your one to
keep it at all times. We're eventually going to
try to smooth out the one to say that it's a little
more controlled and squeezy. But in the beginning,
don't worry. If you can hear both heels
come down to, that's fine. Okay. So let's try to have
ten with this one of the heels as having
practiced 1.5 times, one to make sure you're
opening up that shoulder, leaving it behind the fret first on chase with the
second one. Open chase. They think I've got
that first off, we want **** erectus. Play one. Let's try one more,
adding the head. And then we'll try two
consecutive terms of figuring. I can leave the head. 12 consecutive how sentence
to the rights of freedom. Please keep going. Lay the head. One. Good job. Okay,
Let's see everything select now. He practices. So that's going to be
standing leg, working leg. Standing leg. But I can make that's trying
to support the term play a standing wave, standing leg. Okay, Now let's
think about 10.5. So that's something I try to use your head
at the same time. That's a lot to think about. When we'll practice
and then we'll go to consecutive half times. One. Okay. I'll full Semco a two
house happens Off, we go back, head comes up. Okay, so you've now done quotes tens and tens on demi point with the head
and the arms from both. Sash that position and
from full physician. Why don't ask 3D next. Well, before we finish today, we are going to start working
today more than a half. I'm going to see how far we can go when we add the shoulders. Now we're going to do
with the shoulders. It's just give the shoulder
off the curve down, a little push back. So you're essentially just
squeezing that shoulder blade? How we talked about the
shoulder ways before that. I'm squeezing together. As he opened his arm.
You're squeezing? Not sure. Maybe even more. The chasing arm is going
to give more of a push. Squeeze that shoulder
blade pitch. You may not do a full ten, but you go myself anyway
to full-time yet. But we're going to see
what happens when you try and let the body go
further than a half tab. Doesn't matter if it's messy. You just want to get
into the momentum of letting your body time
and seeing what happens. So this is very experimental. Just give it a try. Feats and fourth position,
Find your posture. Squeeze that core,
right shoulder. Chase with the left arm. That's trying to
get if you've gone further than them off
ten, That's great. Traveling small, you'll know if you need to make adjustments. Maybe your weight was right. Maybe your knee was in, maybe you weren't
getting higher. Annual rather vague. Maybe your arms like correct. Maybe forgot your head. Let's try again. You know what your corrections
tried to apply them. Create squeeze that
right shoulder, and chase to the left arm. Once more on this side
and then one twice. So you may be aware of new corrections and you've got
a mirror and friends view. You might, if you're
recording yourself, you might want to
check for a cooling. See what you can improve. And let's go one last
time on this side. Squeeze up that right shoulder. Check. If it's messy when just
looking, moving that body, turning around and
saying why you end up, it is important to you. Lines on a plate, this is your safe place. This is what's going to
save you from falling over. So you don't try and
land on straight backs. Left behind. Let's try a little. That's that I will now be squeezing that left shoulder
as we open this on. Immigrants, be chasing
with, alright down. Squeeze that, show that maybe you've got
the same correction is how to think about them. Find your posture,
kind of placement. Make sure the arms,
arms on an angle. You're swiping with
the back of the hand, but those pumps scraping
when the other hand. Any screens that shoulder back, chair mistake up for
as long as possible. One more time. And this is the last time you play a squeezed out that left
shoulder. Flip the heads. Good job. Well done. Tomorrow is our
last and final day of our five-day course. And we're going to be combining everything we've
learned together and working towards a
complete single parents.
6. Beginner Pirouette Course Day 5: They PHI safe stay
at the bottom. We're going to try and rely on holding us to borrow
as little as possible. So starting in our
full physician, again to clear the baby's
hearing is normal. But this time our hands
come off as we go up. As you go up, you will immediately don't see
your hands back down. It's very hard to stay up. And especially on the
first time you do it to still be working out where your alignment should be. Hands can come down
as fast as you like. I just want your
coordination with your resume to be linked
to on CFS position. Also, I want you to
keep your interior a position as you go up. Hands kind of come down. But your TRA says, if Heaven's Gate down, only keep them down long enough, UCS taken back off again and
then lift and close behind. Shading. We go hands-off. About. Cough again. Open the knee back
full-time on the right, switching over to the left. And Lara, stay where you
are on that standing leg, lower down to fourth position. Squeeze the abs hands-off. Find your alignments. Let's save that standing leg. And now tomorrow, you might be able to
put it for that long. I'm straight line
down. Last one. Nice advertisement
rolling, hands-off. Find your alignments. And say Tool hill that I take
switching it back. The other leg on his wall I've had for
bringing up all rights, let this come off. As soon as your knees
and toes, hands off. Your alignments.
Lift, grades, whole. Heels down. Position. Keyframes
on your alignments. Thank you. Sea ice. Lift straight line down. Check please hit
check the fascia right up to the kidneys and
you'll pay both physician. Be bright, hands-off your
alignments and go back down. That's the acuity. Try and hold it. Hey, I need seven times off. Realigned. Lift. Squeeze states, whole. Moving into sentences
are not going to have a look at
everything we've learned so far and finally work towards full single time from
fourth position. We're going to start backing
up here, x from there. We've done this for
a couple of days. You might have to take a moment to remind yourself of the rules, everything we've worked on, the coordination of the
front leg going up. Now. We're going to combine
cool to ten say for quotes terms and
then immediately go to Hoff all on one leg. So essentially that is going
to be your right leg coming up and down six times. And then how? It's going to be a lot a
lot of resumes on left leg. Theories from the right that is the same as people might
come in full open. Squeeze. The head, of course,
is left behind. Ray audience as we can. Right foot friends is a parallax
from 5th physician said, almost off we go Four quarter turns and
then immediately into to know how often
you're gonna be getting more of a pitch with that shoulder like
Duloxetine yesterday. Squeeze the shoulder
blade and Chase, but that's actually
not a free day. 13. Hofstede. Together. I got when I say Casey, I'm guessing it's
still going to feel quite safe welding as we've
not practiced it that much. So feel free to keep practicing that little
exercise over and over. If you'd like you to
post it with music. I'm not going to test it with music just because sometimes for some people that can make it feel even more overwhelming, when you put a tempo, you've got to stick
to it can feel like another thing that's
putting you on depression other people and
actually helps them to have a steady beats and
keep that consistency. So it's up to you,
however you work. Once you're feeling
confident with these cool to tens plus half turns. And I'm going to have a
look at your left leg. Same thing. Tanning salon. Picking up the left leg, left arm is curved and leaving their heads
until the last minute. Okay. Ready? Play, renovated, squeeze, load. Renovated, squeeze, squeeze. Good. All too often. Play a perception
that back down. Back to the friends. Okay, so we've done
the whole thing first. That should have been a
really good reminder for your alignment in
your placement. Now I'm going to
work from false. So this should feel
a little easier. We're gonna do the same
exercise of four courses. Using my head, the
arms, the legs, and the relevant for you guys. So now remember this
is a fourth position. So we can up the flag and
it's cleansing behind. Plague comes up some friends to the knee, back of the knee. The knee is behind. And when turning towards
the neck that's coming up. Right leg is coming
up with turning to the right with that curved on. So right to have done, I can't forget relativity theory 4.5th one times PA, squeeze the shoulder blade. I'm looking at the left leg now. Take moments to your pasta. Check through your list of things you're going to
think about doing Oh tens, shoulder blades, your
own coordination, you hybrids here at
the front of the knee. I kept offering
full course turns. Two hop 121. Yes. Raisa. Preset often leaves the head. Keep the hips and the
shoulders and mines. Has. Okay. Now let's revisit
the time we did yesterday where we just try
and see how far the body can go around and
just experiment and saying, you're putting into action
everything we've learned. Coordinated arms and legs, your posture, pushing back, that showed up twice to say
up for as long as possible. And C, you have to
come back down. So let's give that
a little practice. And then we're going to be fun with ourselves and
really push for single time off we go aiming for balancing up
for as long as possible. Let's try with the left leg
up to the top of the spine. Again, that shoulder
back out to the head. Gets, Let's look at
these singletons. So it just single
time you got to be very clear where
the beginning is, where the ending is. Obviously the beginning is the friends and the
ends is the front. In this case, that head has
to fit around as your arms, your head is the last
thing to feel that binds. And then the eyes must
come back to the front. If you want to have something
that you can focus on, maybe there's something on the wall and the
catches your eye. Maybe you can stick something there and you can read them. It's high level and it's
directly infants view. And you can see it
clearly and focus on it. That might help you to spot. Because you can find it
again with your focus. And it's really important
to properly look, not just to do the motion
of ******* your head, but really look with your eyes. And spotting is going to stop
you if you do it correctly, stop you from getting dizzy. It's really valuable. Trick. Let's have a go. We're going to focus our eyes, flick on ahead rounds
and then try to get those shoulders rounded ends
and a clean fifth position. So you start from forethought. Once we do our
coordinates and downs, learns and put your brakes on big bands, clean
fifth position. So coming all the way
around to the front again. In the beginning, you end three-quarters
of the way round. But you've done it properly. It's a nice, clean,
clear, and nice. Keep this position. You remember your head, your arms, your leg
positions, all the rest. You've gone want to as
you're coming down. That's fine. If you
don't get all wear out, it will come eventually. As long as you
work carefully and thoughtfully and you don't rush, and you don't sacrifice any of your alignments, it will come. Let's give it a try. This is all practicing. Leads to check. Once again that you're chewing
gum line with your shoulder and then your eyes are going
to raise the money. But friends the friends
already open, please. The template. Again. Picking up the benefit. I can pick one. Again. Leaves a chin Chase. Let's look at the last day. Visa chin in line
with your shoulder. Chase at this point. Again. One last time. Maybe have a think about which questions you want to apply. Your alignment of you lifting,
what could be better? I think about it and I figure really good. Hopefully you've now is on
your first single parallax. Even if you're still anything, if equals is the
way, don't worry. As long as you're doing it in the correct way and
you're working carefully, you will eventually get
surrounds for a full-time. We're now going to
practice doing to half turns from fourth, and then going into a full time. If you want to do this with
music has said before, it's steady tempo
really helps you. Give it a try. Hey, can I steady
piece of music? Otherwise go without the
music and made you feel like there's less pressure on you to also be musical as well
as everything else. So right behind her arms
and said to hop off, we go play tennis the
back of the room. One by two. Now a full head, shoulders. The shoulder pushes this on chases and then we
had mass flick. If you've got a pair of glasses, you wanna think about those
products is fine on for now. Hey, maybe a tiny
tag and I think about trading cell
whipping around, whatever, how ready a free guy gets. Hurt me that lens like, hey, you might find one slide or turning much better
than the other side. That's completely normal. You might be lifetime or
it might be a right turn. I'm alright, Tana, I
am now really leaves. I'm actually turning on
my right side to use your left my right leg. Off. We go to half Tens. Cliche. Leave the chin. Now a full-time. Keep the arms level,
the hips level, the materials, the friends, the knee and flick
that head round. Play. Chase. To finish. Well, congratulations for
completing our five-day, again a prereq course. Hopefully by now,
you're either turn your very fast parrot or you're very close
to achieving it. And it's just a case of
repeating our exercises. And there'll be that. The great thing about the
exercises we've done over the last few days is not only do they obviously
help with your peer rats, but they're going to help
because so many other things. Well, you're going to find that your ankles and your
legs are much stronger. You'll have noticed a difference
in working in fleets are inside thighs through your
core will be stronger. You'll feel your own
alignments is Clara. And your body should just feel a little bit
more symmetrical. And your coordination of your arms and nice biking
together should be care. Good luck with the
rest of your training. If you want to check out any of our other courses,
