ABOUT THE TEACHER: Finis Jhung performed with the San Francisco, Robert Joffrey, and Harkness ballets, on Broadway, and in film, before founding his own Chamber Ballet U.S.A. Now, he is a master ballet teacher, the creator of more than 50 instructional dance videos, and the author of The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique: A Guide for Teachers & Students. ABOUT THE VIDEO: Here are twelve new lessons which break down the fundamental elements of the pirouette en dehors from fourth position. Instructions about correct muscle usage and the mechanics of movement have been minutely detailed in short segments. As you study each lesson you will discover what you're not doing and how to correct and perfect your preparatory moves. Learn to work your body parts correctly and in the proper sequence so you can get on your leg and turn. This video forges ahead with several new strength-building exercises and explicit "how to" instructions not previously shown on other turning videos. Remember, if we can go to the moon and back, you can turn around twice on the floor.  EXERCISES are listed on the back cover of the DVD image above.
