I used to not be able to one a la seconde, but after watching this and practicing for about an hour, I was able to do one!!! The hopping through it really did help thank you ❤
Thank you! You really helped me. Even though I don't do ballet, dance, or gymnastics, I really want to do dance so if I ever audition, I'll remember you.
I've doing this since december and now its july.Without any gymnastic/dance training,i finally did it.I am so proud of myself and if u want to practice,this is the perfect video.Thank you!💕💕
I’ve been wanting to do dance for a while now and I’ve finally brought it up to my parents (who said yes) so this is really helpful! I have a ton of respect for anyone that can do at least one a la seconde because they’re so hard for to me 😭😭 my legs are sore after not even 10 minutes
Remember guys consistency is key, I didn’t even start turning when learning A La seconde turns, I only did exercises on the bar for like my first 2 months, then some exercises without bar in center, only then did I start trying to turn(I would try to see if I could do the turns without the bar once in a while for fun 🤩)and this whole process took me about year and they are still not the best, so remember consistency is key, NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER WHAT !!!
It helped so much i couldn't do anything like anything and i watched it 2 times and i can do its not tg best but i didn't even know how to do it and now i can THC for making this vid i am going to practice 😁
This helped so much! I have been trying to perfect or improve my La Seconde turns for a while now, but I keep falling out of them or they look really messy. So, when I tried these drills for them, and tried the actual turn. They looked so so much better! This was so so incredibly helpful, and now my turns actually look like La Seconde turns. 😮
I was taught that pirouettes à la seconde don't close when you spot. That's more for Italian fouettés, but the finished product is still clean. Good work.
Thank you so much I’m currently planning on trying out for my competition team at my dance studio and one thing that I really needed to be able to do was a la seconde turn😊
That helped soo much i been trying to do that for days and i applied your correction and i got it and now i just need to learn to stop and land thank you so much
i don’t recommend hopping at all because then it’s stuck it your muscle memory. hopping is one of the worst things you can do for turns in general and especially these.
I had the same problem when I started dancing, it was a mix of balance and strength. For me, I practiced holding it and thinking about using your strength from your thigh (if that makes sense) like you're pulling your leg up using your thigh and leg muscles while keeping the rest of your body balanced and strong especially keeping your core engaged
@Alyssa Rahl oh, i’m glad i’m not the only one 😅 i will say i’m getting a but stronger after trying some exercises from former ballerinas. It has helped a but so far, thank you so much for the tips!
A hack if u can’t turn ho to a wooden floor in ur house or somthing smooth then get a thick sock one one of ur feet it will make it easier to turn your welcome
ok so, as a self taught dancer for abt 2 years to do atleast 3 a la secondes, you have to start by having a sock or something like a towel under your foot so you go faster, once you done that, start spinning like your gonna do a pirouette, put put the leg thats not your supporting leg STRAIGHT TO THE SIDE, then try putting the supporting foot up and down slightly, stay straight up and turn your head fast!
