hi everybody welcome back to another

installment of the ygp coaching series

today i'm with the beautiful aubrey hi

aubry

i'm aubrey i dance with pavlova

professional coaching

and i'm practicing my variation faquita

lovely

so let's go ahead and i will stop you as

we go

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

um your thing and i remember for viewers

i've

known aubry for a while and seen her

when she was little

your biggest thing i think is

controlling those stunning feet that you

have

yeah so on the each time you step

really place i think what happened on

the attitude that front attitude as you

lower

through stay a little more lifted it

kind of

dropped a little bit and if you stay

lifted in the upper body you'll be able

to control a little bit more of those

feet because

especially when you have long feet which

i feel you

you got to make room for them so if you

stay long and tall they have room if you

don't

they crumble so go back to the

um you do pk attitude and then potter

very fourth

pirouette and stay a little more lifted

on the attitude

see how much you balance yeah like that

and then on the pirouette sort of the

same thing it's almost like

you're anticipating the landing so let

yourself finish

then come down get even taller before

you go to the fourth

better yeah yeah because you've got a

long way to go

and so let it let yourself go up there

the other thing i think for you can you

on the wrong verse say leave the head a

little bit longer that's getting picky

but

yes again because you have these

stunning lines the feet the thing

it's it's letting us see them you know

it's almost like this solo in particular

she's a little bit like

that the aren't i cute

don't you wish you were meat uh to ron

versus you know what i mean so

find those moments of flirtation and

you know don't you wish you were me kind

of thing

and you know you don't have to be

obnoxious about it obviously but

place each foot and that actually will

come into the

staying lifted element of it

um good try that pirouette one more time

stay a little more lifted

yeah good exactly beautiful

beautiful let's go on

[Music]

[Music]

already better already better yeah um

so on the all of the cone and the coupe

watch the sidearm

be careful of it sometimes it gets a

little too high almost think really

reach more of a lengthen

than a than an up and i know the

momentum is going up

yeah yeah and i've said this with a lot

of people and it's sort of a kick i'm on

this year

just happens um reach to your fullest

line

like some time you're again so long so

like

uh as long as possible you know what i

mean just do the

yeah yeah do the do the double pay

and see how long you can possibly be on

that

oh hello yeah do that

do that exactly because you have the

time it's not too fast

and i think maybe on that coupe even

more

show the back if you're not quite there

it's a funny line yeah there you go

there you go um

pk turn as well a little bit more up

it's almost again

like you're worried about the arabesque

finish the turn then go to arabesque

yes yes

exactly exactly one step at a time

because with that particular turn you

you go around well you don't need a lot

of force so just

let it go around and then finish don't

worry so much about double because

you've got it

you've got it flirt

you're good yes yes beautiful better

with placing the feet

much better especially when you have the

pretty feet everybody's attention is

drawn to the feet

so it's like you have to place your feet

even more than most people

so keep placing the feet beautiful let's

do the last

releves last section

[Music]

okay um you were totally solid on the

relevance

totally fine and then you had a moment

of doubt and you pulled slightly off

your hip

when you're over that left hip you're

solid

so it's more of the left hip and

honestly if on those releves instead of

thinking oh my gosh i have to say

think same sort of thing don't you wish

you were me done me

but you know sort of like that it sort

of takes your brain

out of oh my gosh it's a thing and it

just sort of

yeah yeah cause you're solid you were

totally solid and then i saw the doubt

and then you got it back

so just keep keep that on the last

turn it's always tricky to finish solo

with a double

it's like really thanks pedophile um

so sort of the same thing it's almost

like

you were so worried about getting to the

knee finish the turn

then go to the knee see if that helps

just try

hello yeah do you see how he dropped and

it's like whoa

and then if you finish and then go

you're fine

you're totally fine i think for you it's

letting yourself

finish steps let yourself finish

let it be long show us the line and then

move on to the next step give

each step a value um and especially on

stage with lights

up and forward if you go back on a turn

it's gone but you were fine

on that one so really let each turn you

do in this variation

finish it then move on because again

you're strong you're fine

so good get some water and let's run it

so show us each position and flirt

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

good you just ran out of room that was

the only problem yeah

do you see how solid you are you don't

need to worry

you're there like oh my gosh that all is

a cone

like we all wish we looked like that i

wish i looked like that i don't

so you know that was excellent you

finished everything

you know and if you feel on stage that

you're off at the end just

single sail it around down totally fine

see what i mean

that was excellent that was excellent

yeah yeah trust it i feel like sometimes

you get in your head i start

in the competitions i saw you too you

get in your head and you're totally fine

but the doubt kicks in and that's when

it

it loses it you're solid trust it

yeah beautiful bravo
