practice balancing. also, make sure you have a really stron center and are spotting! just keep practicing and im sure that your triples will be clean. good luck(:

Answer 2

go to the bare and do step prep hold then let go of the bare and hold for as long as you can

pracite spotting by doing shines accross the floor.  and dont give up keep trying good luck

dont count you turns as one two three

think one two plus one  it is less scary then when you get to four or five think one two one two or one two one two one

Answer 3

when you do pirouttes, You want to pull up as much as you can, but keep your shoulders squared and spot with your eyes (you probably already know that) and when you think your spinning out of control, bend your standing leg to stop.

Answer 4

keep your supporting leg straight and think of pushing your foot through the floor to keep you balanced. remember to spot yourself and just

practice                practice                practice!

Answer 5

make sure to keep ur legs straight and ur upperbody inline w/ur legs. basically, stay in one line perpendicular to the ground. spotting helps A BUNCH. also, get into the mind set that you can do it. don't be dancing and come up to a pirouette and think "oh no, great. i'll never be able to hit a triple cleanly" or something to that effect. it helped me, so i hope it helps you!! :) good luck
