[@davidg858]

I don't think there anything out there more thorough than this on the waltz turn-excellent tutorial!

[@BrocheBallet]

David G awesome, so glad to hear you enjoyed it!!

[@josiepalafitness7623]

Omg, thank you so much! I just started taking adult ballet lessons for the first time in my life and we are learning this step. I was so confused with the turn! You explained this step so well and it helped you faced the back of the camera. It finally clicked! Yay! 🤗

[@BrocheBallet]

So happy to help - sometimes a different view is all it takes to help something click! Keep up the great work! Happy dancing ♥️

[@user-jobqyp-0fusnoe-8cocxU]

This is the best! I always get confused with left and right and following from the rearview with simple and clear instruction is so very much helpful. I'm figuring this out because of this video. 🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏

[@BrocheBallet]

I'm so glad to hear that it helped! Happy dancing :)

[@judithmcminn863]

Fabulously explained to cope with the confusion an adult brain has with this. The adult brain learns differently and keeps presenting itself with doubts and questions. It took me ages to grasp this a few years ago and I kept googling for videos to demonstrate, I wish you had been around then, you explained everything so clearly. Thank you. 😀

[@BrocheBallet]

Judith McMinn I’m so glad you figured it out!! It’s such a tricky step in the beginning. Keep us posted if you have any other steps you’d like to be broken down - we love video requests!

[@aboveballetcompany-abc5436]

Amazing! I showed this to my teacher and she says you have very good content. Thank you.

[@jimnorton8861]

Great video and very helpful. Will definitely be practicing this. Happy Holidays Julie!

[@BrocheBallet]

[@tubeur000]

[@natalie8457]

Thank you so much! I finally feel like I can do this step and I love the port de bras😄

[@BrocheBallet]

[@natalie8457]

Broche Ballet I would love a video on balancing in pirouettes/retire

[@BrocheBallet]

@@natalie8457 Wonderful! All of the videos on pirouettes we have are rounded up here: www.brocheballet.com/blog-1/2020/3/24/pirouettes
Plus, we have this video all about balancing! th-cam.com/video/FckkTXD9z9o/w-d-xo.html
Give those a try and let us know about any lingering questions! :)

[@alee3146]

Thanks! The updated waltz turn video with the view shot from behind is great. th-cam.com/video/BZNaVdwdKFI/w-d-xo.html
Given that it’s a waltz step, where the musicality calls for a [STRONG-weak-weak] pattern of emphasis, I found it easier to learn to feel the groove (and thus move in accorDANCE with the pulses of the rhythm) using Counts:
“and_a ONE two three and_a FOUR five six; and_a...” vs [Step-brush Step Step]
where
- count three is an Inward Pivoting Half Turn-while-Stepping
- count four is a brush backward
- counts five and six are Outward Pivoting Quarter Turns-while-Stepping, or
count five is an Outward Pivoting Half Turn-while-Stepping and count four is a forward step

[@LucyHooft]

I wish I'd found this months ago!

[@BrocheBallet]

We're so glad it was helpful! :)

[@reverenceremembrance2994]

0:46 for myself

[@user-dh9kz1ce6t]

Жаль нет перевода. Аналогичного урока на русскои не нашла.

[@goformanisha]

this is hard i wish it was mirrored! :(

[@BrocheBallet]

It is definitely a tricky step! Around 5 minutes in, I do switch to film from the back view so you can follow along from behind me like you would in class!
