Guest delightfuldancer16 Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 I am having trouble doing pirouettes on pointe. I think once I have accomplished a really sloppy double, and if I did it was really rare. And even my single looks bad. On demi-pointe I can to a double, and have accomplished a triple a couple of times, but I just can't seem to get it on pointe. Any suggestions would be great!!! Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted June 7, 2003 Administrators Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 This is a technique question, not a shoe question, so I moved it over here, delightfuldancer Pirouettes on pointe are actually easier than on demi pointe, IF you have the placement and strength and rotation and the ability to get up on a solid retiré relevé. A single pirouette on pointe is really just a relevé around the corner ;) Seriously. And a double just takes a little bit more thrust and a good double spot. Obviously the first problem is making those solid relevés on pointe. Start there! Quote Link to comment
