Breathe In/Out
Dynamics set this combination apart: sharp, staccato hits next to breathy, airy phrases. Squeeze your muscles to find different levels, and decide where each step starts, whether in the ribs, the chest or the heels.
The plié stays bent and the body settles into the pocket of the music. Breath carries the long, continual phrases.
The accents get intricate near the end, with pauses between some of them, so listen a few times first. The last move is an actual exhale.
