CLASS EXERCISES

  • Warm Up
  • Pliés: in first, second and third position. We are bouncing at the bottom of the plié, and pushing through the floor – all good strengthening stuff!
  • Tendu: at different tempos in all positions, and we are pointing and flexing the foot.
  • Rond de Jambe & Dégagé: We are building on our Rond de Jambe. Dégagé means to ‘disengage’. The step is a point that then lifts off the floor.
  • Dégagé, Jumps & Arabesque: an arabesque is a classic ballet position where the weight of the body is supported on one leg, while the other leg is extended in back with the knee straight.
  • Port de Bras: we work through all the arm positions.
  • Nutcracker Dance: we learn the end of the dance.
  • Curtsy
