4 Walls Direction Changes
Using pas de bourrée and chaîné to travel and change direction, this across-the-floor exercise teaches turns led by the eyes and back. A ball change sends your focus where you want to go, and a chaîné and pas de bourrée carry you around the four walls: half turn, quarter turn, half turn, quarter turn, back to where you started.
Stay a step ahead, or you'll lose where you are facing. Part two takes the ball change away, so the chaîné must do the direction change on its own, and the tempo comes up.
