How To Do Pirouettes, Fouettés, and À La Seconde Turns! I Dance Turn Tutorial with  

thank you thank you thank you!!! the way you explain turns is so easy to understand and apply. I’m just starting to dance again and your channel has helped me so much! almost every other channel I have found is so strict and uptight, but you’re so easy to follow!

To all my dancers out there: “Try this a couple million times” the ultimate dance quote 4:58😂

I like her honesty: "try this a couple MILION times" 😂😂😂😂

0:30 parallel pirouettes (aka jazz) 3:39 ballet pirouettes (piroattès) 5:43 à la seconde 8:58 fouettés almost got 1 a la seconde, I've wanted to get these since like forever, but it took me a while to find a video with a good explanation hehe 😂♡

I'm 18 and feel betrayed by my family for not putting me in dance classes when I was a kid despite having natural rhythm, musicality, and a desire to perform (that sounds pretentious, I promise it's not). Now I'm a minimum wage full time food service employee getting ready for college (funded by Financial Aid), trying to pursue my desire to dance on my own. This tutorial is fantastic, and I've seen lots of turn tutorials (turntorials?), but this one really helped me the most. So thank you so much for this.

The à la seconde turns were very difficult, I had to practice 2 hours each day for 3 days. It was exhausting, but I got them so I'm happy. Thank you so much, without this I wouldn't have gotten the à la seconde turns.

I love how you teach. My ballet teacher is so impatient and doesn’t care about how you feel. You are so calm and step-by-step material. You take it slow, and you’re so patient and I appreciate you!❤️ Be my new ballet teacher please, lol.

Not a dancer or gymnast, but i've become determined to learn how to do a à la seconde, so i'll be practicing this at least once a week!

I'm an absolute adult beginner ballet & jazz dancer. Your video is very helpful. Thanks for the explanation about the ribs. I never knew what that meant. Thanks !

I can’t afford dance classes but thanks to your can learn at home!! Thanks

Honestly your the only one that helped me with my la seconds! Thank you I’m just starting my dance career

She’s too adorable

Teacher: Why are you slapping yourself? Me: Miss Auti told me to

you are the best teacher, i am so grateful that sucha channel exists, thank you so much, you are so lovely and beautiful

who else judged the aldc dancers by their a la secondes after watching this lol i saw kendall swinging her leg in them

Im became a dancer watching all her videos thank you so much❤😊😁

i don't have enough space in my room so i always hit something with my leg. I WANT TO DO A LA SECOND TURN SO BAD

U r a very good teacher Making things look so simple God bless

I’m a mom of a competitive gymnast and a retired professional dancer. I was looking to show my daughter fouetté turns & found you. I think you are doing a great job instructing, breaking down these difficult skills, and presenting them in a fun and engaging way ☺️. You’re very talented! I have no idea why anyone feels they need to give a thumbs down. Keep up the great videos ♥️

I love your positivity! It helps with nerves and makes you not feel so bad when you don't get something right away.

I’m a dancer who struggles with À La Seconde turns and this helped a lot :) thank you :)

Bless u and all the accurate, great info you give. I'm not a dancer but I love the performing arts and I juggle/do flow arts/spin fire, and I want to get stronger, more limber, and more flexible to enhance my performances and flow. Thank you!!

Thank you Miss Auti! You're a fun and genius ballet teacher. I like your sense of humor too. I appreciate having a teacher to help me with turns and such.

During this Pandemic I hope to continue to practice my turns using this video😩❤️ and others but you make everything make sense. I’m always falling out of my Pirouettes, I can’t do turns in second , so during this time , I hope to train at home , work on my flexibility, and gain strength in my calf’s, stomach, just my whole body so I can get these turns. My freshman year in college I auditioned at Alabama state university for the Stingettes (you can look them up) and sadly I didn’t make the team and I spent my whole freshman year sad and feeling not good enough to ever make the team again . I knew in the back of my mind I wasn’t going to make it because I didn’t have my pirouettes, turns in second , leaps in second , and other leaps. All I had was flexibility. I was on the dance team at my school in Highschool but the team didn’t focus on technique . I wanted to quit the team my senior year and join ballet classes so I’d be ready for auditions but I’m pretty sure you know that being on a dance team is expensive so my mother didn’t let me quit because she payed too much money already. Summer before college auditions I wanted to take ballet classes and quickly learn but we couldn’t afford it, I took like 4 classes and just from that my parents were struggling to pay for the classes and even would pressure me and get mad at me by saying things like “ you better make this team” . So time was up and I still went to auditions and didn’t make the team , I was so intimidated by the other girls because they had everything VS me. I tried to self teach on RU-vid before auditions but it was had . But I’m going to continue to look at RU-vid videos and self teach. I am a great dancer , I have the energy and can pick up Choreo, I have flexibility, but no technique . You can check @so.thatsjay on Instagram ❤️❤️ . I’m going to keep praying and trying !!

Wow I couldn’t of done these without this video. Before I tried and kept falling, but by knowing the steps I was able to do a few by myself

Thank you soooooo much! I have been dancing for four years and somehow these never came up! But I already knew pirouettes so it was a little easier. I practiced for an hour a day for a week and got them! Thank you!

Well explained and the video is easy to follow. Thanks for that! I watched a lot of videos I had to slow down or pause every second, because everything was way too fast and complicated, but I could follow this one!

Thaaaank you very much !!!! I see the light at the end of the tunnel for this fouetté, thanks

i decided to learn how to do this one night in my kitchen and you really helped! i still cant do it just because im not very flexible and not a dancer or gymnast i use to be but then i gave up and stuck to singing because it fits me better but you really helped thank you!!!!

I asked for this video on a previous one of yours and you delivered !! 👏👏👏

I was already able to do one jazz pirouette, but this tutorial helped me be to be able to do a double while very controlled! Thank you!

I'm actually self thought in all of my turns and I didn't watch any tutorials on how to do them when I started. I only watched full choreographed dances and just tried it myself. Watching tutorials now to fix them and I do actually do a lot of the steps right.

Thank you so much!!! This is very helpful, my teacher (it’s dance class in school) doesn’t teach us in steps like this, so this will help me practice at home!!!! 💕

I just started taking leaps, jumps and turns class and this will be very helpful!! I am a beginner, and I am glad I found this channel so i can finally fit in!

Thank you soo much!!! I got my first fouettes in less than 30 minutes (even wobbly tripples😂)! I'm so happy right now💖💖

You are the best teacher in ballet.I literally learned everything I know from you and you deserve a lot for this

this is the best tutorial I've ever seen. 😻😻😻

I have been trying to execute this turn for a long time. After watching your tutorial and trying for 20 mins or so, I was able to do 3!! It made me very happy!! Thank you very much for the clear explanation. You have my vote for Shorty Awards. All the best!

You are a God sent!! Thank you for bringing in fun and reality with also simple foundational learning in your tutorials. Loving it!!

I was struggling with à la seconde turns. I was falling, tripping, hitting the walls, and had no balance. I practiced during months and months and found this video. Your content is motivating me even more and helps me to do turns. Now, I am still practicing my turns, but can do 2 or 3 à la seconde turns. Thanks for being so positive and for giving so many advices!

I love these tutorials! I’m a dancer and I was looking for more skills in contemporary but I do want to work on my turn a lot more so this really helped. Sometimes when I do the second turns I lose my balance very easy. So thank you for all the tips!

That closing your ribs tip is priceless. I kept tipping over before understanding that and haven't lost my balance since adding that to my turns. Thank you very much for your incredible step by step explanation. Most other channels just go "fourth, prep, and turn" but don't tell you any of the issues you may be having that don't allow you to actually turn...

this was the best video i’ve seen about turns!! thank you so much ❤️

I need to work on my second turns as they are in my routine and this is so helpful

This is the best tutorial ever i swear helped so much

I've been on a competitive dance team for six years, about to start the seventh. My middle school coach never bothered to teach us any more than a pirouette because we didn't have auditions for anything below high school level. I was completely terrified of a la secondes and fouettes but you make it so much easier to understand!

i’m a dance moms fan so i wanted to learn how to do the turns and this actually worked super well! i almost have my seconds in! and surprisingly i started a couple minutes ago and i already have my jazz and ballet pirouettes! i’m definitely gonna watch more tutorials! new sub!

You make it look so easy!! 😫

I'm so grateful I found your videos!

you are soooo helpful!! I've watched so many videos on how to do pirouettes and a la secondes and none of them seemed to be useful/helpful, but i watched this one and it is so helpful!! the way you explain the turns is way easier to understand, thank you!!

i love this video! most other dance videos think that the people watching can do all this and you really deeply go into it! will be watching more videos!

Best dance tutorials on RU-vid. Hands down 💕💕😊

Best explanation i've ever seen. So thank you very much! I'll keep on working on my pirouettes😊

You are a great teacher. Thank you ☺️

Thank you for this tutorial im literally improved by this.... Im just starting ballet classes so i dont really got the balance but im still trying... Thank you so so much!!!

Thanks for helping me get my first ever double pirouette!
