RPC is excited to welcome Addison "Addi" Marquette, a former RPC Competition dancer and captain of St. Cloud Huskies Dance team for a high-skill Turns Technique Clinic, designed for dancers ready to take their rotational power, balance, and control to the next level.

Addison is known for her precision, technical consistency, and ability to break down complex turn mechanics into dancer-friendly training methods. Her approach focuses on clean technique, proper alignment, and the confidence dancers need to execute single, double, triple, and specialty turns with ease. 

Beginner - This class focuses on developing basic pirouette technique by building clean rotations with an emphasis on balance, alignment, and control. Dancers will practice consistent preparations and execution while interchanging between both working legs to promote strength, coordination, and symmetry. Ideal for beginners looking to build confidence and consistency in their turns.

Intermediate - Designed for dancers with a strong, consistent pirouettes and solid foundational technique, this class builds beyond the basics through targeted drills to refine control, placement, and endurance. Dancers will be introduced to fundamental a la seconde technique, focusing on proper alignment, timing, and strength-building exercises, while continuing to improve consistency and efficiency in rotations. 

Advanced - For dancers who demonstrate strong, consistent pirouettes and a la secondes, this class focuses on advancing turning skills through floats, spot changing, and directional shifts. Dancers will apply targeted drills and refined technique to develop seamless control, strength, and artistry, ultimately incorporating these skills into dynamic turn sets and combinations.
