The Spotting Challenge
An across-the-floor exercise for honing your spot through many direction changes and turns. Travel as far as you can. Your plié and the balls of your feet do the work, and a clear spot finishes each change of direction.
A rond de jambe lands with the hip up. A push off the ball of the foot sends it up again, then the pace jumps. Turns follow, with a hip moment to break up the technique. Let the arms be organic and show who you are.
If you have the space, repeat it down the floor.
