The Pirouette Playbook: Unlocking Your Turning Potential 

30 of my most used cues!

  • My unique approach to less dominant sides...
  • My math analogy I use - To me, a pirouette includes all of these three things. Otherwise, dancers get fixated on the turn itself & the rest gets neglected.
  • My favorite posture cues - Things like: core engagement, correcting hip lifting, spotting, and more!
  • My Top technique tips - For correcting common mistakes in pirouettes

What makes us different

What is Dance Science?

"Dance Science is an expanding area of research and study; it aims to investigate dance practice in its broadest sense, to explore areas such as training and performance, dancer health and safe-practice and the impact of dance on areas of health and wellbeing among other populations" (Trinity Laban Website).
It benefits both Dancers & Educators by making the dance world a better place
Dancers have unique needs and execute very specific movement patterns
It examines the science behind the art form so that the health of dancers is optimized
Dancers have high injury risk, so learning about Dance Science is crucial
