I keep falling out of my fouette...HELP?

Question

Im doing a fouette rond de jambe en tournant...

Im trying to go for 8 in a row for a solo piece im working on, but at 6 i fall out...i just cant stay in it...idk what to do...i loose my balance and my turn slows down...any tips??????

Answer 1

are you lifting your hip?

Answer 2

maybe u stop spotting...sometimes i do that and i cant get around....if thats the case just wip ur head around...arms help a ton...squeeze ur abs and ur butt hard...

good luck:)

Answer 3

Good luck!! Fouettes are a hard thing to master and very frustrating!! Don't give up and use the following pointers:

-Stay tall, pull up from head

-Always spot something

-"Suck in" your butt

-Being tense actually helps

-PRACTICE

Answer 4

just think of really pulling up and since your slowing down maybe your not using your arms? They are there to help you pull each turn in.; tighten up your abs and arms!

Answer 5

it can be a mental thing. if you fall out a few times then each time you try, you end up repeating in the same thing over and over again. try thinking in a different way. if you can do 6 in a row, then you can do 20 in a row. so just believe in yourself...change your way of thinking.

Answer 6

its probably because your slowly losing your spot its got to be right on the whole time and make sure to use your arms, arms are a huge key to doing turns i think they really help.
