Bertha's Advanced Ballet Class #1
This one asks for a strong barre from dancers who already know the combinations and their order. Work hard and make it happen.
Pliés open the class, with two grands pliés and big port de bras. Heels rise high and come down slowly in control. Later exercises hold balance with only the head or arm moving. Develop the leg through arabesque and attitude, then find your balance in passé.
Turnout and a lifted body hold it together.
