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:
- Perform 8 beats while lifting into a dolphin-like position, allowing the torso to glide shift as the legs rise.
- Reverse the action to return to the starting position.
- Repeat the sequence once more.
- Perform 4 entrechat trois followed by a sous-sus, alternating sides.
- Perform 4 entrechat trois devant followed by a sous-sus, alternating sides.
- Repeat the entire exercise once more.
- Lower the legs to the mat and rest over the ball to finish.
Focus:
Make sure to work the beats sideways and not parallel.
