Tiny Tips: Count backwards to increase number of turns



Do you tend to fumble when you attempt multiple turns?  Is it easy enough to crank out a double pirouette, but a triple may or may not make it that third revolution?  Here's an easy tip to help you land multiples:  Count backwards in your head. 

Instead of saying to yourself, "1, 2, 3," as you make your first, second, and third revolutions, decide how many turns you will do before you start and count down as you turn, "3, 2, 1."  This will help you finish the full number of revolutions and land more neatly.  It helps you know when to land, rather than turning indefinitely and then having to scrabble your landing together.
