A personal favourite, this exercise is perfect to get the students activating abdominals, spinal articulation and breath.

Starting Position: Have the student sit in fourth position, arms in demi-seconde, with one hand on the fusion ball.

Steps:

1.  Have the student roll the ball out to the side while performing a port de bras with the opposite arm, following the arm with the head. Return.
2. Repeat 3 times.
3. They will then roll the ball out to the side with the port de bras and extend the back leg.
4.  The student will rotate the body toward the ball and push it forward with both hands.
5. They will then roll the ball in to return, opening the chest.
6. Repeat 3 times.
7. Have the student roll the ball forward once more, bring the back leg in to gather the fusion ball.
8. They will then open both legs to the sides while lifting the arms.
9. Set up to repeat the full sequence on the opposite side.
