Flower and Bunny with Footwork

A hands-and-feet exercise that layers flower and bunny gestures over footwork. Start in first position, sink into a plié and shoot one arm to the side, then extend the arms to the front with the wrists crossed.

Flowers and bunnies change quickly, and the bunnies turn upside down. On the relevé jumps, go up on the balls of the toes and drop the heels, so there is a real jump inside the movement. If the hand transitions feel tricky, go back to the earlier flower and bunny exercise first.
