What we're going to do and watch is
a lesson with the intermediate students
who're going to take a lesson before the rehearsal.
Probably, after that we'll watch part of the rehearsal.
[Classical music: Overture 1812]
Some girls will be working with
pointes, other not. Some students have
been dancing for a year, others for 3 years.
[Classical music: 1812 Overture]
However, today's lesson
will be slightly short
as it's a lesson before a rehearsal.
In fact, we're going to have a lesson more
to warm up rather than to improve the technique.
[Classical music: 1812 Overture]
The lesson... What I do is...
to make them begin on the floor with a basic stretch.
Don't tension the groin...
Lean far forward.
during all video]
a couple of exercises...
spinals, abductors...
to find some muscle groups
they won't find them...
Or could be loose or they don't have the right posture.
Heels together...
push your abductors forward.
Diagonal... I put my hand on the bottom so it's not going up.
1... the isquion goes downwards. 2...
Half pointe, open the toes...
flex... push the arch forward...
open toes and stretch.
Don't let them crooked.
Big toes outside.
Flex, half...
Far..., each toe on its lane.
Feel that you can open them inside the slippers.
And half pointe...
Very good!
Arms in Fifth... And half...
Makes you laugh? [laughs]... and half...
directly to the barre.
