What is a "pirouette"?
A pirouette is a ballet move where the dancer spins on one foot, often with the other foot raised or tucked in close to the body. To perform a pirouette, the dancer typically starts in a specific position, then rises onto the ball of one foot and rotates around in a full circle. The spinning motion is controlled and balanced, requiring strong technique and precision to maintain a smooth and centered turn. Pirouettes are a key element in ballet and are also used in other dance styles to add elegance and flair to the performance.
