how to do a tripple piroette?

i am a dancer and i can do a double pirouette but i'm trying to get my tripple. When i'm half way around i end up falling or stopping, do you have any tips on how to get all the way around or to help me stay up??? thanks

  • it's generally accepted that a double is as far as you can get with inadequate technique- anything beyond that requires that the dancers...

    -turn out passe!!

    -stay high up on releve!! (sometimes dancers with low insteps have trouble turning because of this)

    -use arms to turn you!! (the force of your second arm pulling in is where you get your momentum)

    -keep your arms tight!! (close to you, rounded, arms evenly high, and with hands turned toward your face not the ground)

    -spot!!

    -keep weight slightly forward!! (think shoulders over hips)

    -shoulders down!!

    -passe not overcrossed and at the right place down your leg!! (pinch where your foot should go before you turn...i know it sounds weird but it HELPS if this is a problem for you!)

  • You have to just keep on practicing. My dance instructor says a triple is like doing a double, and then another single. It makes it sounds a lot easier.

    Just work on spotting and keeping your center strong. You'll get it eventually!

  • Spotting is definitely the key. =D One question: I assume you are talkign about how to do a triple pirouette on pointe right? lol If so, the only thing is practice, practice practice and..... more practice!

  • well...i would say you have to...

    hold your center

    keep ur leg up in a high posseh

    if ur falling 2 1 side, lean the other way

    no that the worst that can happen is that you can fall

    spott very fast

  • Just keep practicing and remember to hold your center(not wobble around), and to bring your leg in very quickly

  • Here are some tips that help me =)

    Spot, spot, spot!!

    Hold your center.

    Lift up in your rib cage.

    Don't sit back.

    This helps me: Visualize someone pulling you up by a string...that will help you lift.

    Plies help you with momentum.

    Get a good preparation...

    Practice, practice, practice!!!

  • be more confident with your turns... to do this you want to keep your chin up, and shoulder's down. i had the same prob and once i did that i did 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
