Level 2 – Chapter 3

FROM BODY AWARENESS TO BALLET MOVEMENT

What Will I Learn?

Apply the principles developed in Sessions 1 and 2 to fundamental ballet patterns.

Explore turnout, plié, tendu, dégagé, passé, rond de jambe, and grand battement with greater awareness of where each movement begins.

Maintain breath, alignment, stabilization, and muscular connection while moving.

Develop greater awareness of the pathway of movement rather than focusing exclusively on range of motion.

Integrate upper- and lower-body organization into more coordinated movement.

Primary Objective:
To begin transferring the internal organization of the body into conscious, connected, and intentional movement.
