Mastering Piqué Manège Turns ✨

In this tutorial, we break down how to approach piqué manège differently from your standard diagonal of piqué turns. If you’ve ever felt like your turns lose control around the corners or your direction feels off—this is exactly what you need to fix it.

We cover:
• How to adjust your direction for a clean, controlled manège
• The key differences in approaching corners vs. straight diagonal piqué turns
• Spotting techniques that keep you consistent and not dizzy
• A clear breakdown of French vs Russian piqué manège technique—and how each one changes your execution

This isn’t just about doing more turns—it’s about doing them smarter, cleaner, and with intention.

Whether you’re preparing for class, exams, or performance, these details will make a real difference in your control and confidence.
