Transitioning from the barre to the center requires a heightened sense of balance, core stability, and spatial awareness. This session focuses specifically on the mechanics of weight transfer and fluid movement, starting with meticulous drills for ballet walks and the essential temps lié. These exercises are the building blocks of graceful movement across the floor, ensuring you maintain a grounded yet lifted presence.
As the class progresses, we dive into the technical nuances of turning. You will study pirouettes en dehors, pivots, and swivels, focusing on how to generate momentum through proper arm placement and a strong, engaged core. We break down the mechanics of the en dehors turn to help you find your axis and improve your consistency on both the right and left sides. The instructor provides detailed corrections on alignment, such as ensuring the back leg remains straight during a tendu back and maintaining an even weight distribution in demi-plié to prepare for powerful movements.
The class culminates in an expressive arabesque waltz combination that integrates the technical elements practiced throughout the session. By combining adagio movements with dynamic turns and quick pas de bourrée, you will work on your musicality and phrasing.
