Ballet Is Fun TurnBoard® – The Original Ballet Turning Board | Improve Balance, Spotting & Confidence | Made in the USA

I got this to see if it did any good with helping with my pupil's turns.. and as a novelty thing for them to practice with. Several of them bought their own and the kids do love having a go (under supervision!) I would not recommend letting a child use this without supervision as it is possible to go flying off it. I have seen progress with the children who own their own one and practice regularly. They can comfortably get more spins in now when not using the turning board.

My daughter is a 9-year-old competitive dancer. She was falling out of her pirouettes, so we got this to help her work on position and balance while turning. It has been so helpful. Her turns are much better as a result. Please note, you cannot go on releve on this board. This is strictly a tool for helping with technique and balance. It also helps with the movement of more revolutions for more advanced turns but is not for work on turns a la seconde. Do not use this board on wood floor. It will slip. This works best on a solid non-slip surface like a dance dot or a piece of Marley. Take it slow to start. Takes a bit to get used to using. Highly recommend for focusing on technique and balance.

My daughter has been struggling with her turns. This product helped us to trouble-shoot her technique and figure out where she was getting off balance. There is a learning curve to using it (but that is half the fun). The main thing we don't like is that you need to stay flat-footed on it, which prohibits practicing turns where you need to raise up on your foot. We have it on a pre-finished hardwood floor, and it has had hundreds of turns made on it, and it does not mark the floor. As much as my daughter likes it, EVERYONE who comes to our house likes it even better. Friends, cousins, uncles, boyfriends . . . everyone wants to try it . . .and I suspect a few will be purchased for the "play" aspect. Some families gather around Wii, or some other game. . . ours has been hanging out watching people try the turning board.

My daughter wanted one of these for Christmas and absolutely loves it! Great price on Amazon- only problem is you have to make sure that it does not mark your floor. If there is anything even the smallest little piece of plastic underneath it, it will scratch your floor. But does work as promised.

After you get over the terror of falling, this is quite helpful and fun. The learning curve is quick, start with parallel jazz turns before trying a turned out ballet turn. Once you realize you can't really fall (you just step off the board if your balance is off), its exciting to try and turn as many times as you can in a row. My student went from 1-6 turns in only a few tries. To be fair, she does 2-3 turns in ballet class regularly. After using the board a few times, she did triple turns with out any hops or insecurity. We hope to pass 4 turns in under a week. Totally worth the price!

My son adores ballet! Practicing pirouettes was going fine but tours à la seconde (pirouette with one leg raised at 90 degrees) were really stumping him. This lets him separate out the different skills so he can focus on getting that leg straight out while turning effortlessly. I make sure he practices without it too so he keeps a good releve but I can definitely see him making better progress at getting that leg up. And honestly, if it didn't help him at all I wouldn't care because it's just so much fun!

I love this thing! I'm 42 and dance for fun and exercise and this is a great tool. It's not only fun, but it works your booty- both the working leg and standing leg- helps you find your center for multiple turns. Also, helps the slow spotter, like me. Do not have cocktails and try/practice unless you enjoy falling on your toukas. Really helps with port-de bras too, you got to keep your back and arms firm and lifted. I can't say enough good things about this, of course, you have to practice relevé and balancé on your own this is not a magic.

I'm a fourteen year old dancer and got this turning board as an early chirstmas gift! It came really quickly like around two working days from the day I ordered it until it delivered to my house! My friend had it before I ordered it and it took a few tries to get used to, it's very slippery! I got received it today and tried turning on it. After a few moments I got 21 turns down!! It felt amazing when I found my center and just kept turning. I suggest avoiding corners or tables because the turning board moves around a lot while you're on it. Right now I'm working on leg hold turns and I'm glad to say that I am improving! I can't wait to practice new tricks!!

My granddaughter was thrilled with the turnboard. She has been spinning and spinning ever since. Great product! Came as described and works extremely well. Just a warning when first using the board it is very slippery.

Wir kennen das Produkt, haben es deshalb bestellt. Es kam schnell und erfüllt unsere Vorstellungen. Für die Ballance und zum Turnen ist es ein schönes Produkt. Eben ein Kinderwunsch.

L’ho comprato per regalarlo ad un’insegnante di danza ed è molto soddisfatta del prodotto ! Lo usa lei è lo fa usare alle sue allieve.Solido e resistente .Io lo consiglio non solo per migliorare la tecnica nella danza ma anche per migliorare la stabilita nel caso di problematiche articolari/muscolari pre e post operatorio per un ballerino (ho avuto modo di testarlo nel recupero di alcuni ballerini e devo dire che aiuta )

Artikel ist das was unsere Enkeltochter zum üben brauchte. Schneller Versand, gut verpackt. Alle sind zufrieden, der Unterricht mit dem Artikel geht in die nächste Ebene. Mal schauen was es uns in nächster Zeit mit dem Sportgerät oder wie immer es eingesetzt wird, uns noch schönes beschert. Es wird für Ballet und Drehübungen eingesetzt. Von uns jetzt erstmals fünf Sterne. Danke

La TurnBoard è un ottimo acquisto per perfezionarsi tecnicamente non solo sotto supervisione di un professionista ma anche nella propria abitazione .
