Chainés! Nonsense! Flamingo Croquet!

Slow chainés.
Why must you torment me so????!!!!!?????
Gah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Smirnoff tells me the slow chainés are exactly like the soutenu turn we do at the barre.
Dude might as well be telling me why is a raven like a writing desk.
I mean, I get that you do the piqué, and then do a soutenu, and then close fifth, so, like, they’re sorta related in that they both involve a soutenu, but, then there’s the fact that one is a simple supported barre turn and the other involves hurtling across the room on your own on a diagonal while trying to spot and not to fall over.
Otherwise known as Totally Not The Same!
Or, also know as One Is Way Harder Than The Other!
Sometimes when I’m riding my bicycle I think to myself, “Self, how come you can balance on two wheels like this no problem, but you have yet to make it across the room doing a step with both feet?”
Have figured this out: Must be sure to spot an object that really is in the studio with you, not it’s reflection in the studio mirror. If you spot a reflection while you are gyroscope-ing across the room, you may end up through the looking glass.
And the Adult Beginner does not wish to go among the mad.
