Thanks so much for this, it’s been so useful. We already do the natural pivots but they’re always a bit of a struggle. We love the way you describe the technique of how to execute the steps and all those special gems of information you include are sure to improve our pivots. Thanks again!!!!!

Pivots make me so anxious. Every time my instructor puts them in my routines I internally freak out!

@philipsamways562 7 ай бұрын

Tell him why you freak out. If you struggle with them, your instruction should be sorting out why. But you must let him/ her know

왈츠 네추럴 피봇 피봇턴을 영상으로 반복해 구독 하면서 스텝을 익히려고 하네요 외국어 영상이라 무슨 뜻인지 알아 들을 수는 없지만 / 스텝 동작을 한발 한발 따라 배우고 있네요 스핀턴 1.2.3 후에 1&23, 1&23 후 터닝록 1&23까지 정말 익히기 어렵고 힘든 휘겨네요/ 구독 좋아요 댓글까지 남기고 갑니다.

Thank you for this enormous clarity. In the past I was taught to never drop the back heel going forward or backward. When I practice your correct method, it keeps the weight shifting forward more easily. As Kora strongly releases her back heel to the toe, her foot comes off the floor in the turn. Is this something that happens naturally for the lady? I was taught to skim the toe on the floor as I go past the man and to always keep the feet on the floor. Am I restricting the momentum?

I have watched several world class dancers doing pivots on slow motion using settings on KZfaq and your observations and experiences are similar to mine. Katushka Dimidova rarely if ever drags her toe in an arc across the floor in fact most time its swings well clear of the floor and flying to get into position where she then pauses as she pivots on it and then takes off again.

Confused!!! Two 360s in three beats of music. Are the following terms to be differentiated, or do they refer to the same thing? Natural Pivots. Spin Turns. Spin Pivots. Also, do you ever do Reverse Pivots?

On the issue of the amount of turn, I think it is quite unrealistic for mostly everyone to dance two full turns every bar; therefore one will dance this (with typically only one bar syncopated) around a corner.
