Turn Tech

Three turns, taught one at a time across the floor: the chaîné, the piqué turn and the basic pirouette. Each starts in a prep, so stay grounded before you rise.

For the pirouette, put about 60 percent of your weight over the front leg and 40 percent on the back. Press up as if a hook in the top of your head is lifting you, while something pulls down through the foot.

Everything depends on your spot, so the last minutes of the class go on it.
