Many people go to amusement parks and go on rides that spin and spin. Ballet dancers experience the enjoyment of spinning by trying to perfect the pirouette. When it is performed correctly it is a thing of pure beauty. Correct body placement
is essential in all kinds of
pirouettes. While repeatedly practicing the turn may improve performance, strengthening the muscles involved in your pirouette is also important.

Choreographers create wonderful combinations of pirouettes for dancers to perform. Learn to turn today -- take a ballet class.
