The Hip Rotation Secret Every Dancer Gets Wrong and other top tips

#ballet
Turnout. Extensions. Pliés. Fouettés. Pirouettes. Spotting.

This was my first live in a long time — and we covered a lot.

In this session, I break down:

• How rotation actually starts in the hip (not the feet)
• Why your extension height is usually a strength issue, not flexibility
• Eccentric training to build control in developpé
• The relationship between plié, breath, and jump power
• Hyperextension and knee alignment in turnout
• How to get over mental blocks in pirouettes
• The truth about fouetté technique (and why 90° can be misleading)
• Fixing sickled feet in retiré
• What spotting really is — and why it’s not about whipping your head

This is how I would teach it in class. No script. Just mechanics, coordination, and real training strategy.
