Notes
- Rotate on the ball of the supporting foot, while your other leg is up in a parallel passé.
- Use the opening and closing of your arms from preparation to second to first position.
- Use your head to quickly spot back to your original starting point.
- Keep your hips and shoulders squared off while turning.A pirouette is usually preceded by a preparation.
