Weight Transfer into Developpé

Build core strength and higher développés in this stylized exercise of hip rotations and contractions. Rotate the hip and shoulder in, then turn out and rise again through the core. A contraction in passé connects you to the deeper muscles that hold the leg high.

The exercise goes to the front, to the side and finally to arabesque, ending on a balance. Throughout, both legs stay turned out and the ribcage stays stacked over the hips.
