Often times when doing extensions I see dancers only concerned about the peak, BUT your real technique is shown by how clear you are with the other 3 parts.
✅ Start- where does your extension begin?
✅ Transitions- what positions are you transitioning through? Here you can see a coupe, passe, attitude, & arabesque as transitional positions.
✅ Peak - this is your picture, get your leg as high as it’ll go!
✅ Finish- control your ending so I know you’ve been in control the entire time!

✋ways YOU can level up your transitional work!
We firmly believe what separates a great dancer from an exceptional one is HOW they get from one movement to next- seamlessly. So, let’s talk about it 🎙️
1. Recognize where your shift of weight is and use a gradual plie to support it!
2. Your focus should be your guide- sure, we don’t always want to ‘give away’ our next dance step but you’d be surprised how much not only the intention but the stabilization improves with this simple change
3. Angles are everything- the smallest adjustment can lead to big results- so be sure to film or watch from all different directions- then adjust
4. Strength train to support your movement changing from one shape to the next. This requires an understanding of the muscles we need to support what we are trying to do.
5. BREATHE

Turns don’t start with spinning... they start with technique. ✨
Every strong turn is built through balance, control, alignment, and repetition. It’s not about doing more turns—it’s about training smarter.
Whether you’re taking your first dance class or refining advanced technique, every correction brings you one step closer to your goals. 💙

One of the biggest mistakes that I see dancers making with their pirouettes is lack of power in the glutes.
When you push off that back foot, it should be POWERFUL💥
And the standing leg glutes should be on 🔥

Акцентируем внимание на контроле тела, изоляции движений и чистоте линий. Работа над точностью в деталях помогает достигать «чистоты» в джазовом исполнении.
