Errr ... going off the confusion topic slightly ... my exam is in June, and I'm still struggling with pirouettes. Does anyone have any tips, please? I've been told that the ability to do pirouettes just happens suddenly. Is this true? I do try all the ways I've been told to try to improve, but ...
My allegro isn't too good either :-( I know why my allegro isn't very good - I was cheating for ages before I got my new half-knee, and now I'm trying not to cheat.
My free movement and character are quite nice, so I hope they pull my marks up.
Do you want a silly aside? I was talking to my consultant before my knee replacement, and said that when I took my right leg off the ground: "my left knee bent to protect itself and one just cannot do a pirouette on a bent knee". he replied that I was not normal. Then quickly said that he meant it in the nicest possible way, and "If all my patients were like you, I would get better results". Walking out of the hospital the morning after the operation, with no walking aids, my consultant was looking smug.
Off to practise before my next lesson!
