Experience I have been dancing for 19 years in the styles of jazz, ballet, hip-hop, and contemporary. I studied at a studio rated one of the top 100 studios in the nation, then moved on to The Ohio State University to study dance. I have been teaching summer dance camps for five years. I've been choreographing solos and group routines at a local studio and for groups in my state for three years. I have also attended numerous conventions and workshops throughout the nation. Through the winter I judge for a dance team circuit in the styles of Pom, Jazz, Lyrical, and Hip-Hop.
Education/Credentials I will soon be graduating with a bachelors degree in early childhood development and a minor in dance education.
Awards and Honors This past year I was given one of only twelve scholarships out of four hundred students from Broadway Dance Center's the Pulse.
Question Ok. I'm just now getting the a start on fouette's and axles. but i had a question. Straight leg fouette's.. what are they called.. i saw someone spell it osocones but i don't think that's right so can you tell me?
Answer Hey Jenn!
There are many different things people will call straight leg fouettes. The technical term for them in ballet is a turn a la second. Which obviously just means a turn in second position (where the leg is placed) But in jazz I've heard them called anything from straight legs, to pulls to floaters so there ya go!
