Hi,
In one of my dances i have a pirouette and nearly every time i do it i fall out of it any tips?
Thanks

Answer
Hi Ellie.

Take a look at this article, which covers the things that can go wrong in a pirouette. You will be able to see why you are tipping out of your pirouette.

Take special of note of how you go into the priouette, which is resulting in an unbalanced position.

Enjoy your performances, and all the best, Dianne.
