Modern Dance Barrel Jump

Hi my name is Chell Garcia-Trias and I'm a modern dance instructor in Austin Texas; I'm going to show you how to do a barrel turn which is actually a jump, the way that I learned how to do it. Plant your front foot and you're going to twist while your jumping; your legs you're going to bring one and bend it, bring one forward and bend it; and then the other forward and bend it while you're turning around yourself, you want to lean back a little bit while you're doing it too. So the way it's going to look is like this; so I really want to throw my upper body up and around as much as possible, and I'm really twisting my legs as much as possible. So I'll show you one more time; I'm going to step, I'm going to; I'll show you in slow motion, I'm going to step; I'm going to jump and turn this way, and then jump to my other foot. So it's a jump; pasha like that so with a little bit of motion it's going to go like this, so that's how I would do a barrel turn jump the way that I learned how to do it in modern dance.
