We begin by establishing a strong foundation through proper posture and core engagement, which are essential for the complex sequences that follow. The class moves through a full progression of barre exercises, including detailed tendu work, fluid grand rond de jambe, and deep cambré to enhance spinal mobility and lower back flexibility. A major focus of this session is the mechanics of the pirouette en dehors. You will work on maintaining a sharp, high passé and precise arm control to ensure stability and momentum during your turns.
The lesson also emphasizes the development of beautiful lines in extensions.

We also explore the nuances of the arabesque, ensuring that your core remains the anchor for every movement.
Throughout the practice, you are encouraged to maintain intense focus on the standing knee and spinal alignment, fostering the control necessary for advanced center work.
