Join internationally renowned director, choreographer and master teacher Michèle Assaf as she presents an extensive look into the fundamental techniques of "Turns." This essential "dictionary" is perfect for dance students, Beginner through Advanced. Dance teachers will find this guide a must, as Michèle's unique skills put individual turns together into beautiful, thoughtful combinations emphasizing direction changes as well as a wide variety of preparations and transitions in and out of the turns.  The turns can be used for technique classes as well as in choreography.  Each turn is broken down into three levels, from its basic state to its progression for the more advanced student. Hearing Michèle offer corrections to her diverse group of dancers as well as watching some movement analyzed in slow motion increases the enormous benefits offered in this 60-minute video.
