How To Do Double/Triple Turns

05/15/2018

Are you looking to improve your turns? 

Check out these tips and tricks to make them better!

Think of yourself as a tree.When you are in your prep, grow the roots and grow the tree. Do not have all of your weight in front or back foot. You should have evenly distributed weight in your plie. Your base leg should push down into the ground (like roots). Pull your passe up. 

Use left arm. Don’t wind up, but plie and use arm as your momentum. 

Drive your knee up into passe and squeezing your core. 

Landing is key! It is a part of the turn. Think about going down. Slice your arms down and jump feet into the ground.
