Our last class! I was so happy to watch my students "graduate" today. I feel confident that they can attend one of my Basic Ballet classes (or another Basic Ballet class with someone else) and be absolutely fine. Sure, the next step will be a challenge but they are armed with all they need to get started and feel good.
Here is what we worked on today:
At the barre, with music:
--Plie combinations in 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th, including grand plies and port de bras
--Tendu combinations in 1st and 5th, with port de bras and demi-plie
--Degage combination in 5th with port de bras and plie (assemble)
--Rond de jambe combination with a balance and rond en l'air
--Grand battements with plie (assemble)
--Sousous
--Changements and sautes in 1st
In the center, with music:
--Tendu and degage combinations
--Pirouette prep from 4th position
On the diagonal, with music:
--Chassees efface and croise
--Sautes en arabesque and retire
Reverence to finish the class
I'm so excited for them to move on, wherever it may be. I think I might do another workshop, perhaps an Elementary Ballet II. We'll see! Stay tuned!
