Pirouettes are one of the most often used turns in ballet. They can be done with several different preparations and can be started from varied positions (fourth, fifth, second). Some ballet dancers can do many turns in a row, while others can only do a few.
Above and below are some pictures showing how to do a pirouette.
Pirouettes can also be done with partners. Often times it is much easier to do several turns in a row when you have a partner. If the ballerina starts slowing down, her partner can keep spinning her around.
It is important to remember that a pirouette only means a turn on one foot. Which implies that it can be done in any position (arabesque, passe, attitude, and so on).
