We want the students to really focus on the supporting side during this exercise, this will help build strength and awareness of what the standing leg is doing.

Starting Position: The student will be standing side on at the barre with the outside shin placed on the Pro Ball with the knees side by side in a parallel position.

Steps:

1. The student will stand side to the barre in parallel.
2. They will then bend the right leg (the outside leg) and place the ankle on the Proball behind them.
3. The student will move the right arm through 1st, to 2nd, and then back behind their head.
4. Have the student plié on the left supporting leg while extending the right leg back, sliding the ball slightly. Return.
5. Repeat once again.
6. They will then bend the left leg again and take the torso into a side port de bras toward the barre. Return.
7. Repeat this sequence 2 times.
8.  The student will then roll the ball forward, extending their leg on top, and fold their torso forward, bending the supporting leg.
9. Return upright with the working leg bent.
10. Repeat this forward stretch 4 times.
