Petit Allegro: How to prepare students for fast jumps

As always, it starts at the barre. I share some of the exercises that I share with my students before doing jumps.

Honest, logical, appropriate, effective - exactly that is what "la barre" work has to be. And thank you for that remark very much!

Thank you for stressing the importance of the toes in petit allegro. I have always stressed this from beginners to advanced. When I ask my elementary students to dissect a sauté they always say “ you must land toe, ball heel”I like the idea of your exercise in centre before doing the first sautés , going through the foot and pushing off the floor with the toes and also the Demi plies. Thank you and I wish you and your loved ones a happy, restful holiday. Until next time...Mimi
