You will explore the intricacies of the tombé and step-over movements, learning how to shift your center of gravity efficiently to prepare for dynamic turns and sequences. One of the highlights of this session is the technical breakdown of the promenade on a bent leg. This challenging exercise requires immense control and a deep connection to the floor to maintain balance. We also delve into the nuances of the allongé, specifically focusing on forearm rotation and proper hand positioning to add grace and artistry to your port de bras.
