👉Prep: foot planted on yoga brick; 2nd foot in parallel 4th position with knee on floor in forced arch; arms front parallel to floor holding resistance band 👉Action: push to parallel passé and open arms 👉Materials: yoga brick & resistance band 📣Why it works: dancers practice transferring weight quickly to find their center in passé. The added height from the block gives you more room to lunge with that back leg and move through a fuller range of motion. Meanwhile, opening the arms with the resistance band activates those upper back muscles. Focus on active engagement of the upper back, glutes, and core, and you’ll see improvement in pirouettes. 👉If you’re a dance teacher, check out the 🔗 in my bio to join my upcoming dance teacher online workshop: “Bringing Strength & Cond

My students aren’t getting it!  I can say ‘Get over your standing leg’ a million times but nothing works.  Help!”🙏 “My teacher told me I’m sinking into my supporting hip!  I don’t know what that means.  Help!” 🥺 Sinking into your hip means that your weight isn’t properly supported on your standing leg.  This will affect your balance, stability, and turns.

Whether you're aiming for effortless pirouettes onstage or trying not to bump into furniture while training at home, we all want sailing, suspended turns. While many components go into a controlled pirouette—a powerful preparation, a balanced relevé, a stable core and well-placed arms—your whole body must be a strong, solid unit to maintain your position against gravitational and centrifugal forces as you turn.

If there's one thing every dancer is always working on, it's her pirouette. It's no secret that this skill takes years of honing and practice. But in addition to solid technique, perfect pirouettes require a lot of strength. We turned to Roman Zhurbin, soloist with American Ballet Theatre and owner of Roman Empire Fitness, for a breakdown of the best ways to strengthen the muscles used in a pirouette.
