In vaganova we have a pretty name for these. They are degage turns. And then we call the thing everyone else calls a degage a jete.😂 we had a teacher that used a different style at my studio once and everyone was so confused...
Im french canadian and since I learned all my training in french, I had never heard the term lame duck. We always called it posé piqué since you step down (posé) and then do the same movement as in a piqué, but en dehors. The more you know :)
Thank you so much for this! It's nice because a lot of times it's stuff I know, but watching your videos reminds me of a detail I've forgotten about for a little while or haven't focused enough on, and helps me get back on track. Can't wait to practice lame ducks again now :)
I really have problems with creeping my turnout open during doing fast exercises or dancing . I would love you to make a video on that 🙏🏼 PS :loved your video as always 😍
I think I did everything you said was wrong...now I know why it's not working😝 could you teach us this crazy-scary Kitri Variation Grand jete attitude jump?
I was looking for Pique turns en dehors all over YT, and there it is, right in my favorite channel, named Lame Duck 🦆 😂okay, now I know what lame duck is..
Kathryn you inspire me so much! Everytime I watch you dance I wish I could look as beautiful as you do. I watch your videos to try and improve my technique, but they have also helped a lot with my mental issues as I dance. Thank you so much for being so amazing!
As usual so helpful with all your corrections. I take a daily class with your follow alone advance barre and it’s just great. I’ve done the center as well. Turns are always a problem and this video helps a great deal. I would like to request a full list of all the turns in ballet if it’s possible. Thanks!!
Katie- this video was super helpful. Lame ducks are my hardest step, and you did such a wonderful job.This tutorial turned out so well, and you look so beautiful. I also love how to listen to video requests, and I have been asking for this video. Thank you so much! My suggestions for other steps would be grande jete, Pirouettes en pointe, fouttes, and grande adagio.
Thank you so much for this video! Usually, I am good at these, but I just started doing these en pointe last week, which was a mess. This video is definitely going to help
I've improved so much after I met you (physically and psychologically, if you know what I mean)! Btw, you are stunning!! ⭐💛 I would love a video on promenades and adagios. kisses from Brasil!
Great tips, especially about traveling vs. not traveling/replacing. Wish I'd seen this video a little bit earlier; we were doing lame ducks in class today (and I was all over the place, sigh)! 😂
This is kind of funny to me because yesterday at ballet we did step overs and I could not do them quickly and well..... so thank you for this very helpful video!!
Can you PLEASE do a video on HYPOextension? My knees don't straighten all the way even though I have tried to stretch and elongate them. Tbh it's one of my greatest insecurities and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problem and if they can give me some advice??? THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️
I love these so much! I usually watch a couple on my way to ballet classes so I`d remember some tips! Could you do a video on glissade/assemble, I just can't make mine work 😱
I want to be in the New York City ballet and I am in 6th grade and I live in Texas I want to go to SAB but I don’t know when to go and I don’t know how to do this. Any advice? ( I want to go to sab after 8th grade)
Hi Katy! Such a huge fan of your channel, I was wondering if you could give some tips on partnering for boys since sometimes ballerinas can be kind of quiet about what they need in terms of support, love the video!
Thanks! Great advice. These turns look so beautiful when properly executed but otherwise they are so off kilter (maybe that's why they got their funny name!?)
We call them "piqué dessus" in french . Tours (en dehors or en dedans) are pirouettes . And some teachers also use the expression lame duck in french (canard boiteux haha ! )
Fancy ballet term is pique turn en dehors. Only the Russian teachers call it that though, the American ones call it lame duck except for the heads of the professional program, studio owner, and head of company.
Anna Ackerman I’m assuming there’s not much body fat to burn on your thighs, then the answer is no. There are conditions under which muscles atrophy (hospitalization, starvation), but you won’t be able to dance on your legs then. The only caveat is that sometimes dancers use their quads more than they need to to compensate for weak adductor muscles.
This may be a very odd tip but I find that walking lunges tend to slim my legs down. My thighs are quite muscular too and I always find that walking lunges (where you step into a deep lunge, then stand and step out on the other foot, and keep going for as many as you like. I normally do 10) leave my legs feeling just as strong but not as bulky. Hope this helps :)
Hi! I've been watching your videos for a while, and they were so helpful. I'm a senior in highschool and would like to study Dance, pedagogy/choreography, in college. Can you give me some tips for auditioning?
I only begin to struggle with these when I’m on pointe. It’s hard to get it done properly without bending my body sideways... hard to explain in english :D
She said it in the he bio. Literally in the second sentence. She said " The proper French term is pique turn en dehors." Lol, most people call them lame ducks or step overs yet she is fully aware lame duck's a nickname. Hope that cleared some confusion.
me, bored in quarantine, plays soccer, "ooh! I want to learn how to do a lame duck in ballet!" me: "this will be easy!" also me: *does it mediocre* "I WAS BORN TO DO BALLET." warning: i do not take ballet. lol.
🤣 why it's a lame duck.. she's too precious. I agree. Been a flyer their whole life... It's just not important as important, I suppose. Let's just leave it at that's what it's called, because we normally look pretty lame when doing it.

I think I did everything you said was wrong...now I know why it's not working😝 could you teach us this crazy-scary Kitri Variation Grand jete attitude jump?

Thank you so much Katie! This was so helpful!
Thank you for this video! Very very helpful!

Hope this helps you!
This was helpful. Thank you
We call those dégagé pirouettes in Finland. Also could you do a video on entrelacé i find it so hard!
And in french we call it tombé piqué.
Ah makes sense! Thank you!
I did do a video on entrelacé. Here it is! th-cam.com/video/o-uSjYXl78c/w-d-xo.html
And we call it tour dégagé in Estonia :)
We call those dégagé si Romania too :))
Could you do a video for improving your attitude turns?
Can you PLEASE do a video on HYPOextension? My knees don't straighten all the way even though I have tried to stretch and elongate them. Tbh it's one of my greatest insecurities and I'm wondering if anyone else has the same problem and if they can give me some advice??? THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️
shook shishter yes please! I'm working with a hypo student right now, and she's improving, but I'd love to have more ideas.

Salty Sugar Plum has a pretty good one on this
I‘ve got a pretty good turn-out and my flexibility is quite good as well but I can‘t hold it... what can I do to improve that?
I love these so much! I usually watch a couple on my way to ballet classes so I`d remember some tips! Could you do a video on glissade/assemble, I just can't make mine work 😱
we call it posé pirouette in my school in Honduras. don't know why.
Loved this video! I was curious if your could do a video on en dehor turns from fifth en pointe? I am struggling with these.
I want to be in the New York City ballet and I am in 6th grade and I live in Texas I want to go to SAB but I don’t know when to go and I don’t know how to do this. Any advice? ( I want to go to sab after 8th grade)
It gained the name lame duck because of the plie'...and it resembles a slight limp...down up ...down up :-)
Hi Katy! Such a huge fan of your channel, I was wondering if you could give some tips on partnering for boys since sometimes ballerinas can be kind of quiet about what they need in terms of support, love the video!
I was having a lot of trouble with these on pointe, but now I realize I've been stepping too far out
Thanks! Great advice. These turns look so beautiful when properly executed but otherwise they are so off kilter (maybe that's why they got their funny name!?)
Haha that could be true!
We call them piqué tour en déhors. And the "normal" one is piqué tour en dédans.
Thank you!
We call them "piqué dessus" in french . Tours (en dehors or en dedans) are pirouettes . And some teachers also use the expression lame duck in french (canard boiteux haha ! )
please do a ballet barre focusing on feet strengthening and leg lengthening?
Hi Katieeee love you and the videos you put out, as always! So helpful~ ^^
Can you make a video for partnering tips? Because I just started partnering this season and could use some basic beginners tips.:)
Yes! Please!
Yes!
That would be great!!!!
Can you do a video on cabrioles?
You're so pretty and your dancing is beautiful!
Can you do a video on adagio in center?
If the tempo is faster my heels and toes moving all over the place😫
This would have been so helpful twenty-five years ago! :D
Is there a video where you teach us how to do a balancè turning? Idk what the proper term is but i really need to work on them
Hi Katie, can you do a video on pique turns? For some reason I have a hard time getting the timing and miss the preparation step.
I know this as a posé turn en dedans!
Fancy ballet term is pique turn en dehors. Only the Russian teachers call it that though, the American ones call it lame duck except for the heads of the professional program, studio owner, and head of company.
Could you do a skirt collection
You are my idol
Is there a way to slim down muscular thighs? I would appreciate tips from anyone. Thanks!❤️

MsAerosensa Thank you for your tips!
Ruby Shoes Dance Studio Thanks!
Pilates was always my go-to!
Hi! I've been watching your videos for a while, and they were so helpful. I'm a senior in highschool and would like to study Dance, pedagogy/choreography, in college. Can you give me some tips for auditioning?
Can you do a tutorial on how to do improve jumps?
I will work on it!
You also have hyperextended knees but you close it so nicely in the 5th position... How to achieve it?! :(
I only begin to struggle with these when I’m on pointe. It’s hard to get it done properly without bending my body sideways... hard to explain in english :D
Isn't it a pique en dehors? I sweared this was the name, and "lame duck" was a nickname haha
Lygia Moura it can also be called pique en dehor...I’ve had a teacher call it that and another call them lame ducks.
I go to a Russian-style school and we call them degaje turns... Really depends what style you dance I guess!
Yep
Well it is but lame duck helps you not get mixed up
She said it in the he bio. Literally in the second sentence. She said " The proper French term is pique turn en dehors." Lol, most people call them lame ducks or step overs yet she is fully aware lame duck's a nickname. Hope that cleared some confusion.
I think it’s called lame duck because it looks like one of you’re going to turn on one leg but you turn on the other so it looks like you’re limping
Piques?
Also we call these pique en dedan
In China we call it pique endehor
me, bored in quarantine, plays soccer, "ooh! I want to learn how to do a lame duck in ballet!"
me: "this will be easy!"
also me: *does it mediocre* "I WAS BORN TO DO BALLET."
warning: i do not take ballet. lol.
🤣 why it's a lame duck.. she's too precious. I agree. Been a flyer their whole life... It's just not important as important, I suppose. Let's just leave it at that's what it's called, because we normally look pretty lame when doing it.
My ballet teacher calls these tombé-piqués or piqués en dehors
Replay Button: 1:32
