To make the completion of the fouette movement easier, a dancer can complete each individual movement to train her body to complete the move. The fouette is made up of the revele developé, ecarte devant, a brush through first position through to a revele fouette in attitude derriere. To complete these moves easily, the dancer can perform them in slow motion to make them simple to perform, according to Isport. If problems persist, the dancer can perform each movement slowly until she can link them all together to perform the full movement.
During the spinning motion of the fouette, a dancer may feel that pulling his shoulders forward would make the movement of the dance easier. However, this is not the case and a forward movement of the body will result in the dancer becoming unbalanced and not performing the movement with the correct posture, and can result in the fouette being incomplete. By stabilizing the shoulders, the dancer can gain control and be able to focus more on completing the movements required of the lower portion of the body. Refocusing the eyes on a spot on the wall as the dancer passes through each 180 degree turn can also assist him in remaining in control as he completes the fouette.
To successfully complete a fouette the dancer should ensure that each separate movement within the fouette is completed successfully. This means that an audience should be able to see the different positions completed within the fouette. The dancer should hold positions of developé and attitude derriere during the completion of the movement to assist in retaining control.
The completion of a large number of fouettes is seen as a challenge that can only be completed by the strongest and most technically proficient dancers. The completion of 32 fouettes en tournant, or 32 turning fouettes was popularized in the 19th century by Pierina Legnani, according to 32 Fouettes. The completion of 32 fouettes is usually only completed by ballerinas on one side of their body, with the right hand side of the body often the strongest and dominant.
