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: Before you use this DVD, we strongly recommend you first study Pirouette Class 2. We apologize for the confusion with the numbers, but it’s only now we realize that most students need a more detailed breakdown of the preparatory elements for the pirouette en dehors. After you’ve learned the essential elements every turner needs to know Pirouette Class 2, you’ll have fun with this unique video which builds and progresses from adagio to grand allegro in real time, slow motion, and freeze frame. Dance along with Michele Wiles, former principal dancer of The American Ballet Theatre. We’ve also added breakdowns that clear up the difference between the waltz step and the balancé. You’ll be amazed when you see how Michele eats up space and then flies through the air with the pas de bourrée sauté. It’s mind-boggling. EXERCISES are listed on the back cover of the DVD image above.

Many years ago I took ballet classes from Finis Jhung. He is an excellent teacher, and I am so happy to find his instructional videos.

easy to understand and follow lesson in pirouette
I am a non professional adult dancer, dancing 5 days a week. Unlike most ballerinas I came to dance very late in life after retiring at 55. I train extensively and have a ballet room in my home. This DVD provided a clear, easy to understand and follow lesson in pirouette. I recommend it to advanced beginners with the highest of confidence and praise. I use DVD's to supplement my class work and private lesson experience. I do not use it to take the place of group class instruction. I have used his DVD's for 18 months and continue to add to my library.
