This exercise will build upper body strength while also working batterie, activating the adductors.

Preparation: Start by rolling onto the ball, place the legs in fifth position and the arms in front of the body on the mat.

Steps:

1. Perform 8 beats while lifting into a dolphin-like position, allowing the torso to glide shift as the legs rise.
2. Reverse the action to return to the starting position.
3. Repeat the sequence once more.
4. Perform 4 entrechat trois followed by a sous-sus, alternating sides.
5. Perform 4 entrechat trois devant followed by a sous-sus, alternating sides.
6. Repeat the entire exercise once more.
7. Lower the legs to the mat and rest over the ball to finish.

Focus:

Make sure to work the beats sideways and not parallel.
