Monday Lift
One simple secret for successful pirouettes
is this: Lift the passé slightly at the
end of the turn. At least it sounds
simple.
First of all this implies that you have
left some wiggle room – a little amount of space to go upward with the passé.
In other words don’t place the passé too high at the beginning. Secondly, it
means only a slight lift – not anything
that will throw the placement out of whack - just think of bending the passé knee a bit more.
Lifting the passé also helps the body
lift too, and that is important at the end of a turn.
All that being said, lifting the passé slightly
higher at the end of the turn can work wonders. Try it.
