About this class
For the first time in my life I am sharing all my personal advice and experience in one full Masterclass.
I created this for students of all skill levels. I’ve included my personal approach and exercises so that everybody can learn to improve.
If you are interested in understanding my technique towards pirouettes, as well as get insights into my career experience, this is for you.
Lessons
included in this class
1. Lesson: Overview
It can be overwhelming to think about everything you need to do at once when you turn. I will explain my approach and how to think about turns.
2. Lesson: What really matters
We as dancers always thrive to push our physical limits, but it’s important to know when to pull back as well. I share a story from my personal experience and what I learned from it.
3. Lesson: Axis & Core
I think about pirouettes in terms of physics. I’ll help you to visualize your axis and integrate your core to maximize your efficiency in turns.
4. Lesson: Balance
I share some exercises to strengthen the ankle and some tips on how to control and stay in balance on demi pointe.
5. Lesson: Learning From Rejection
Rejection hurts. But it’s important to know how to cope with it. I share a story of being rejected and what I learned, as well as another story of how coincidence can lead to opportunities.
6. Lesson: Head & Eyes
There are different techniques in how to use the head while turning.
I will share my approach and how it helps to add more turns.
7. Lesson: Preparation
The preparation decides the fate of the pirouette. I will explain my tips for a solid preparation in order to facilitate a great pirouette.
8. Lesson: Within The Turn
While you are turning you should be able to remain in control.
I explain various techniques to keep your momentum and make adjustments during the turn.
9. Lesson: Into The Finish
It doesn’t count unless you finish well. I share my tips to gain extra momentum at the end of the turn, and arrive at a clean finish to complete the pirouette.
10. Lesson: Advanced Tecnique
Variety is key. Different exercises allow you to practice different coordination. I share some advanced combinations that you can do to improve your pirouette, and explain how you can approach them.
11. Lesson: A La Seconde
I will explain dos and don’ts when you challenge yourself to do tours a la seconde. I share some specific exercises to build your strength so you can conquer this difficult turn.
12. Lesson: Personal Career Advice
For my last lesson, I share my personal advice. Throughout my career I have taken to heart some important concepts that guided me along my path. I offer them now to you.
"Your training and consistency is key!"

Frequently asked questions
General
What is Dance-Masterclass?
Dance Masterclass is an online dance training platform that allows anyone to learn from the best dancers and choreographers in the world.
Each Dance Masterclass teaches a specific, in-demand topic to improve your dance skills.
For example, "PIROUETTES" is taught by Daniil Simkin, one of the best in the world when it comes to turns. The "FLEXIBILITY" class is taught by Anna Ol, who has managed over many years to increase her flexibility and extensions and become a world star ballerina.
These world-renowned masters share their vital knowledge and personal experience in each lesson, along with helpful exercises and practical advice.
The structure and content of the masterclasses are developed together with the masters, professional dance experts and sports physicians to achieve healthy and efficient learning for all skill levels.
Who is this for?
All Dance Masterclass films offer educational and inspirational content for everyone.
However, we consider the content particularly relevant for 3 groups of people:
DANCE STUDENTS - From beginner to advanced, all classes are created in such a way that it has a great learning impact for all skill levels.
PROFESSIONAL DANCERS - The world leading professional dancers give personal advice and tips for young professionals to help them bring out their best and make it to the top.
TEACHERS - The content of the classes is designed to have an educational impact. The lessons are thought out in a didactic way and are already used by many teachers and schools on our platform to pass on this vital knowledge to their students. We have a special offer for people from schools and educational institutions. See here.

Can I do these classes at home?
Our classes are very diverse and suitable for all kinds of locations. For example, the "FLEXIBILITY" class is very suitable for home (simple exercises that you can do regularly at home).
Other classes are better suited in a dance studio (“JUMPS” for example).
However, we always recommend that you watch the Dance Masterclasses at home first, as the content is very packed and it’s best to understand all the information and tips first so that you can apply them to your next training session.
Are the classes “live”?
The classes are recorded videos (not live) so you can watch at your own convenience and pace. You are welcome to simply watch the classes and be inspired to learn. But if you want to actively follow along with a class to do exercises, you can easily do so. Our app (iOS & Android) for on-the-go and in-the-dance-studio learning is very useful for this.
