Operating as usual
Achieving a perfectly executed turn in ballet requires more than just a strong core and quick footwork.
The foundation of any turn starts with a solid plié. Make sure to focus on maintaining proper form in your plié by keeping your feet turned out, your knees over your toes, and your chest lifted.
With a little extra attention to your plié, you'll be turning like a pro in no time! 💪
The head leads the way in dance, and the weight of the leg follows ✅
Watch how the dancer's head movement affects the weight and direction of the leg 👀💡
