Exercise 21


GRAND ALLEGRO

Sison temps live, glissage and pas de chat, pas de bourré to the Fifth Position and 2 x sison ferme in Third Position arabesque, 2 x sison ferme from side to side, sutenu and sison ferme coupe assemblé to one corner and repeat to the other corner.

 

We conclude with the grand allegro, which is likely the the most fun of the class but requires the most strength and control.

This is where the movements and jumps become a lot bigger
and we travel as much as possible.

Glissade pas de bourre and grand pas de chatte to the right.... and to the left.
Travel as much as you can.
Finish with chenés.
