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.
Ronds de jambe par á terre works the rotation of one leg against the other through the first position.
As we let the rotation of the working leg move away and around... we are using different
rondes... in plié, as well as 45 degrees.

We finish with a grand ronde de jambe as an exercise for the hip joints.
Reverse ronds de jambe en dedans, which is an inward movement toward the supporting leg.
Make sure the foot relaxes in the first position.

We use a different speed to be more
challenging on the core stability.
•
And finish with the port de bras, circuit the
port de bras towards the barre... and away...
|
|
Into a slide lunge...
fingertips lead the way...
and lift out to go back.
|
|
Finish with a balance in first arabesque.
In the first arabasque keep shoulders and rib cage square...
And close.
|
Remember
to breath nice and easy.
Around on the other side, sutenu... and prepare. |
