Can anyone do three full 360° spins in place without losing balance?

[Bricealan]

Try standing on a flat surface, either bare footed or stocking feet, remain vertical and perpendicular to the floor, turning your torso first, then your hips, with your head looking straight ahead. Start the spin with your head hopefully coming around last. If you make the first, try the second and then the third.

If you can do that, come to our Fred Astaire studio and sign up and we will have you competiting in a year!!!

I feel, like I'm on my way, if I can just hold 'frame'

[NathanDavis]

I've done it before... not sure if I can do it today

but I won't try it tonight... lol

way too comfortably lazy on my chair right now

[Bricealan]

@NathanDavis Nathan, are you a dancer?

[NathanDavis]

am I a dancer? no...

do I know how to dance, and can dance... yes, lol

[Iron_Man]

I don’t know about that, but Poppy can do it

[Bricealan]

@Iron_Man I am SURE she can! She is very talented>

[Iron_Man]

Why don’t you tease her a little bit in her questions she likes it

[Bricealan]

@Iron_Man Oh I try to do that, and I know she does entertain that kind of response.

[Iron_Man]

Does she have a boyfriend?

[Bricealan]

@Iron_Man I would guess, and only a guess, that with her attitude, and her sense of humor and approach to sexual things, that she has guys climbing the walls or falling all over her. I think women like her are pretty rare these days, anywhere. Don't you think so?

[Iron_Man]

Yes, but as long as she doesn’t have sex from guy to guy, because then it takes away from her innocent act

[Bricealan]

@Iron_Man I would never question that, as a girl's sexual history is not a concern for me.

[Nikki1989]

Nope. I can feel dizzy simply by standing up too fast.

[Bricealan]

@Nikki1989 I bet anything you can do it!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

@rachel776 If I could do that, I would give just about ANTHING! My pro dance teacher would flip and we would be dancing in the next competition, in Las Vegas. My dance teacher can do just that kind of dance, and spin. I am GREEN with envy!!!

[Bricealan]

P. S. if you watch closely, his head DOES come around last, and that is how he maintains balance and stability. WHO IS HE?

[rachel776]

Baryshnikov

watch the movie White Nights which is on Tubi right now

https://tubitv.com/movies/679207/white-nights

i recently worked with Tiler Peck and she told us a story about when she was 19 and she went into a rehearsal and the director said, “can you do a double pirouette?” and s said, “of course I can” and she was worried that it came out kind of snotty

the director said, “of course you can do a double, because you’re a principal dancer”

Tiler said, “I'm not a principal dancer, I've never been a principal” and the director said, “well you are now, you're a principal dancer at the New York City Ballet,” making her one of the youngest to ever have that position there

[Bricealan]

@rachel776 Thank you for

[Bricealan]

@rachel776 your interest and making such a wonderful, professional, response. I only recently took up ballroom dancing with Fred Astaire and have found a real "home" in that studio. My 'triple' pirouette was not really a 'triple', as I stopped between turns for a brief second before starting the next, but I can see by watching Baryshnikov, just how perfectly posed he is and does the many spins being perfectly vertical and on the ball of his foot. My teacher has coached me on that.

You are a dancer?

[Bricealan]

@rachel776 I will watch "White-nights"

[rachel776]

i think a pirouette in ballroom dancing is different from ballet

i thought i was a good dancer but then i was a violinist for a band that had professional dancers so i learned a lot, now i'm the music director of a band that has a lot of professional dancers at a whole new level. they haven't quite accepted me into their tribe yet though we're getting there and hopefully soon i'll learn some amazing new things

[Bricealan]

@rachel776 I did watch White Nights... and Baryshnikov's 11 pirouettes

[Bricealan]

@rachel776 Yes, you are correct. A pirouette in Ballroom is different than in Ballet. A girl in my class demonstrated the difference.
