Assemblé soutenu en tournant

This video is part of an online video glossary of basic movements for traditional Scottish soft-shoe step dancing. The glossary is based on descriptions published in the St. Andrew’s Step Dance Collection (RSCDS 2009-2013). Voice-over is provided by the book’s editor and RSCDS examiner Helen Russell (Scotland). Assemblé soutenu en tournant, more commonly known as ’pivot turn’ or ’pirouette’, is performed here by Valentina Senko, associate UKA, a Scottish step dance teacher at Shady Glen (Moscow, Russia)
