    Ok tip: Always concentrate on nailing it, I find when I lose focus I often fall out or start traveling. Focus on both your legs and arms!

    do you have any tips bc i always lose the momentum after the first plié to second position

    • @PAAWales
      @PAAWales  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Keirzlovesugar practise it on the barre first so that you can get a good solid rise and second position. Really get that pulling up and lifting feeling and try to build that speed up on the barre. Also, try putting on some faster music and really try and stay on the beat.
      Let me know how you get on 😊

    I have a question
    Which leg do you use to spin on...the left or right?
    Cause I have been doing it on my right...

    • @PAAWales
      @PAAWales  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Namjoons lost passport most people prefer to turn on their left leg, so that the right leg is up and you are turning to the right. Most find it easier to turn right, but not everyone, some people find it easier to turn left. So, whichever way you find easier 😊

    • @PAAWales
      @PAAWales  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Try and spot something a bit bigger to make it easier to focus on. Something as large as a door can still be a great spot :)

    What do i do? I find it easier to turn left but my right leg is sooo much more flexible than my left leg
    Should i just improve my flexibility on my left leg or should i try to turn right?

    • @tarsile7985
      @tarsile7985 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Improve your left leg flexibility, try to get comfortable, Keep your hips down, make sure your arms follow your legs, ect. Improve your left leg, just some tips! Np

    • @PAAWales
      @PAAWales  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      To be honest, I would try and do both. If you prefer turning left, you will always feel more comfortable that way so improving your left leg flexibility will help but the strength is the most important thing. You may be flexible enough to get your leg up, but you have to have the strength to hold it there.
      With turning right, most choreographers will set turn sequences that way in group dances as that's the way the majority of people prefer, so it's really important to work on your right turns as well :)

      I had this problem and people always told me “push your foot to the ground.” But that made me lose momentum. INSTEAD of doing that practice going from the first position to the second position on the bar about 10-20 times for about 5 days trust me you will see so much improvement and it can help get straighter legs!!

      If you don't have a barre, you could use a kitchen worktop or the back of a chair :)
      Most commonly, if you're travelling it's because you're jumping onto the ball of your foot rather than doing a strong rise. So practising on a 'barre' is a good way to get out of the habit. Also, make sure you have a good spot so your eyeline isn't moving :) Don't give up!! X
