Corrections and Observations:

Here is a lovely example of the beautifully square preparation into the pirouette. Note the placement of the arms, the hips, and strong transference; the speed and placement of the leg into pirouette position co ordinated with the arms, the use of the head; and a strong sense of ‘beginning/middle/end into a firm strong 5 th position.
