Mad Monday Bottle Turns
Here is a fun prop to help your pirouettes.
Hold a water bottle (containing water)
in your following hand as your
prepare for a pirouette. Feel the downward weight of the bottle and resist it upward
with your arm and body. Then, during the actual pirouette, switch the bottle to
your other hand. What fun!
This helps you feel resistance up and
down as well as maintaining control of the arms (keeping the hands centered in
front of the body).

Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
