What's your ballet kryptonite?

Chaine(sp?) turns. Gah, It would help if I could spot, but alas, I suck at that, leading to my demise in the Chaine turns. D:

For me, it's fuettes en pointe, of course I only started last fall so my ankles aren't strong enough. The other thing I can't do is lame ducks(I know it's a weird name but that's what they're called, at least where I dance that's what they call them) en pointe to the left, to the right they're mediocre at best but to the left I have to stop and think about it and then bumble through, perhaps I should practice them more.

If you just think about placing one foot over the other it will become no problem heart

Changemas (i don't know how to spell it! I don't speak French!!!) on point because we always do them at the end of class and my toes hurt alot by then! Acually now that I think about it hops on point are really hard for me but I did start point in December, though I am improving rapidly.  

[Dreamalongstars]

piroetts (if that is how u spell it) en pointe and fuetas ( if that is how u spell it) flat and en pointe, sorry everybody i don't speak french so I have no idea how to spell any of the words.  

[Irkutsk]

I suck at ANY kind of turn, whether its simple pirouettes, fouettes, or a la seconde turns,

 

[Kelephante]

in jazz we do switch leaps... were you start up leading with one leg, then in the middle of the jump you swing your other leg through without hitting the ground and then land on that leg..

i found one on youtube!

i will die before i ever figure out how to do those.

Oh, you mean scissors? we do those in my jazz class too.I haven't perfected them to the point where I can use them in a performance, but I am fairly decent. I really have trouble with turns of any kind sweatdrop

I have so much trouble doing eleves on pointe (on one leg.) I can do them just fine on flat, but on pointe I just don't seem to have the strength to get past demi-pointe. I'm working on it, though!  

[I AM ALICE!]

i can not do beats very well. My feet just don't seem to understand the consept of what they need to do sweatdrop .  

[BallerinaChcik]

It is sooo hard for me to reverse combinations I have to go threw it over and over in my head. Also I am kinda a slow learner when it comes to compilicated untradional dances.
