Higher Legs Front and Side - Extensions

Ready to get those legs up to the front (devant) and side (a la seconde)?

Extensions, Level 3 builds on your foundational understanding of hip placement and turnout, shifting focus to achieving and maintaining greater height with strength, control, and precision.

What You’ll Learn

1. Front Extensions: Achieve beautifully aligned développés to the front with increased height and fluidity.
2. Side Extensions: Lift your leg higher to the side while maintaining turnout, stability, and balance.
