This 44-minute session moves beyond basic foundations, focusing on how to utilize your body’s mechanics to master height in jumps and stability in rapid turns.

You will explore various exercises including deep grand pliés, sharp dégagés, and sustained arabesques, all designed to build the necessary leg strength and core stability required for advanced work.
