Exercise 9
Ronds de Jambe par á Terre
(Other Side From Fifth Position)
Ronds de Jambe - is the circular movment of the leg.
Par a terre - on the ground.
Preparation from the Fifth Position.
2 x ronds de jambe en dehors and 1 x ronds de jambe en dehors in demi-plié.
2 x ronds de jambe en dehors and 1 x ronds de jambe on 45 degree relevé with arm.
2 x ronds de jambe en dehors and triple ronds de jambe.
1 x ronds de jambe en láir, rond between and 1 x ronds de jambe en láir again, and closh front.
Repeat the whole exercise en dedans.
Finish with circuit ports de bras toward the barre and away from the barre and slide degage down, back bend and finish in First Position arabesque with both arms off the
barre.
| In the ronds de jambe exercise, firmly fix the supporting leg so we can effectively work the working leg away from it, through each position, devant, seconde and
derrier.

|
Support the elbows... and accent the
grand ronde de jambe.
Now reverse the exercise en dedans.
|
|
|
|
While keeping the pelvis nice, and still...
We allow the movement through the
upper body only.
Finish with the port de bras a little faster than we did in the plié exercise which demands more control through the
center.

Adding a slide lunge, keep the weight
forward on the front leg as we take the backwards port de bras on our way to the toe.
