Free Pirouette Surgery® Tip!
You've missed a spot!
For those of you that have read my book you'll know I'm not the biggest fan of head whipping, crazy staring spots. Instead I enjoy a nice simple movement of the head allowing the body to maintain equilibrium and focus.
I also enjoy Maths.
But, Maths and this part of Pirouette Surgery® do not follow generic academic principles!
A Single Turn = Two Spots
A Double Turn = Three Spots
A Triple Turn = Four Spots
Etc.
Imagine your double turn has one spot at the start, one spot after the first rotation and one spot at the end. All of you that nearly complete your 'double turns' will definitely be completing them now!
SPOT TRAINING EXERCISE
Now, it's not massively important to move your head at all if you're demonstrating just a single turn, however if the initial reaction (the first rotation, aka the single turn) of a multiple turn has a lazy spot then it's likely not to be a particularly successful multiple turn!
Watch the video closely below to see how training the 'quarter turn then move it' action spring cleans my dancers spotting action.
