Positions & Directions

A ballet basics lesson on the five positions, then the directions a leg can travel from them. Each is named in French so the vocabulary builds as you move.

Fourth position can be crossed or open when you come to it from first. Tendus then work through the directions in pairs, front and back, ending in second.
