Shapes and Levels

A progression for detail: levels, shape and shifts between movement qualities. Hit sharp on one, then lift and float to the downstage diagonal.

The contraction sends you into a pivot. Count five asks for three things at once: a push off the right leg to passé, a turned-out left leg, and a small exhale that starts the change of picture.

A radical turned-out fourth gives way to a modified cramp roll that ends low in a deep parallel plié.
