Hard work meets personalities as we fine-tune every detail (with a little fun in between). Because when you're dancing Don Q, a little flair is a must! ππ½β¨@ballet_pensacola

Do you get nervous when someone walks into the studio? π³ Academy principal, a company dancer, the artistic director? π± @balletwithhilary reminds us, we aren't here to be perfect!

Is your spot messing up your turn? Let's have @balletwithisabella fix this for us!
γ €
SLOW TURN. FAST HEAD. THE COMMON ERROR. β¨
γ €
Often when we go into a single turn, because it’s “just a single” we do everything slow, including the head and freeze up looking stiff. This will negatively affect your turn.
γ €
It’s really key to whip the head around regardless of how many turns we do. With my other tips on holding the supporting shoulder back, we can still give a sense of whip without much force in the body
γ €
This will give you a look of suspension and lightness. Not only that but it makes your sense of direction very clear. Instead of drifting around, you are clear where YOUR front is and you keep returning back to it no matter what.
γ €
For a single turn we don’t need much force at all. We must arrive in the position super quickly, freeze the position and whip the head. The force in the body and back is minimal for a single turn. By having enough whip of the head that gives you enough force.
γ €
There are many things to think about and work on. More than I can write in one caption BUT let’s focus on the head for this one. π
γ €
I hope this was helpful!

Your mindset challenge today: Become the observer of your dance journey. π Start noticing EVERY decision you make—from how you enter the studio (defeated or determined?) to how you approach corrections. These tiny mental choices create your dance reality. The simple act of awareness is revolutionary. Try it for one week and watch patterns emerge. What decisions are truly serving your growth? What's holding you back? Share what you discover. β¨
