Bertha's Intermediate Ballet Class #3
A class for dancers with a good understanding of ballet technique. It starts at the barre with demi-pliés, then moves to tendus with plié in fifth, coup de pied and développé, some of it with music.
Pirouettes come after assemblé and glissade, and then a final jump sequence on the diagonal.
Shoulders and hips stay in a square box while you stand tall. In every plié, little toes stay on the floor and the arches lift. Brush the floor in and out to make your feet stronger.
