Anh's Advanced Ballet Barre #2

This ballet barre class puts direction changes first and weight changes second. In the dégagés, the pattern stays the same, three and a plié, while the direction moves between effacé, en face and épaulé. The supporting leg starts each change and the working leg follows.

Fondus go up on demi-pointe, combining ronds de jambe with a half turn on the cou-de-pied derrière. Frappés have a flat version and a harder one on demi-pointe with petit battement.

Any exercise can be made simpler or more challenging to fit what you need.
