RPM has quickly become one of my top 3 favorite and go to channels for ballet! Cheryl is an amazing teacher and produces very clear and easy to follow videos!
I always was taught that chaines are done in a small 1st position, while your example shows more of a 5th to 1st transition. Is this dependent on which pedagogy is being followed? I grew up in American ballet style
This is an amazing channel! Can't believe I've just found it. I started an adult ballet class, and I want to have beautiful turns like everyone else, haha.
A soutenu turn can be done as a single turn in fifth position on demi pointe or pointe, if they are done consecutively you would come down off of demi pointe or pointe in between each soutane turn. Chaines turns are a series of turns passing through first then fifth positions on demi pointe or pointe WITHOUT coming down in between each turn. I hope this helps.
Been teaching dance for 30 yrs the whole first fifth thing she said would confuse most students learning this turn I always taught that this turn is done in first position only so I’m not sure what ballet style teaches that way
As you are doing chaines turns (either on demi-pointe or pointe) you actually pass through fifth position, then first position and so on. You won't step out through second position for instance.

What’s the difference between a soutenu and a chaine?
A soutenu turn can be done as a single turn in fifth position on demi pointe or pointe, if they are done consecutively you would come down off of demi pointe or pointe in between each soutane turn. Chaines turns are a series of turns passing through first then fifth positions on demi pointe or pointe WITHOUT coming down in between each turn. I hope this helps.
Fun to watch fun to do (so I would think)
Please make videos for boys.Thank you

Cannot tell first fifth,first fifth, just side by side, side by side...
How can I help you with this ?
I don't understand the 'first, fifth' steps.

Thank you, you are so amazing!!!!!!
