Basic ballet movement skills. Sideways, backward, forward, turning. The balancé. Lesson 3
Description
In ballet class, whenever the music is in 3/4, the balancé is frequently used to dance into various poses, turns, and jumps. This quintessential ballet step is usually done quickly without instruction, which can make it a "mystery" step. But not for long, because in this long-awaited video Finis Jhung and NYCB soloist Antonio Carmena show you how to do it, count by count, in various directions, at three speeds: slow, medium, fast. The music that makes you want to dance is by Scott Killian. And dance you will!
