Lucy Lowndes leads this series of classes with Ivy Aitken-Andrews demonstrating and Nathan Tinker on piano.

In this class you will focus on:

Pliés in first and second position, building alignment and control
Tendu in first position, working front, side and back
Glissé, building speed and rhythm with rises and balance
Rond de jambe, in both held positions and continuous movement
A petit battement preparation, isolating movement from the knee down
Grand battement en croix, learning to keep the pelvis stable, or intentionally shift for height
A closing port de bras and stretch sequence to cool down the body
