-Me on the ground, and Rachel
in the back!-
1. Any stretch over with arm one arm in fifth, you should keep your hand in fifth right above you head. For example you are at the barre, Croisé in big lunge you stretch back keeping your arm going back right above the top of your head.(arms fourth position) So if you were to look from the ceiling, you would see that you would be able to bring your arm back to first without moving your arm to place it back where it should be. Also sort of the same thinking when you stretch to the sides. Keep your hand curved and above your head.Also when you stretch back you have the choice of head. Looking back at your hand, or looking out.
2. When you stretch over, then roll up, pull up first from your stomach. This will get your posture back in place so you don't have to do that after you have come up.
3. She had us start in fifth(feet) then relevé and go then go to sus-sou. The point was you should be so lifted that you knee shouldn't bend and place into sus-sou. It should be a strong slide over to sus-sou.
4. (At the Barre) When ever your feet are in fifth and sus-sou (I think), your head is out. When you go to the side you head is forward. To the back your head is out...you can slightly keep it forward or tilt it back toward the working foot.
5. When doing demi plies, relax everything except your stomach. Oh, dear that was new!
6. She told us to lift our sternum. She said that she always thought to lift your sternum that meant your rig cage wasn't closed. But now she knows the it doesn't mean that. I think it is a fine line...but does make a difference.
7. Your spot is your rhythm. So find our how fast the turn is and spot your head, too that. This will helps you get around.
8. When doing an Arabesque, (like in relevé) Think more of making it longer and stretched then pulling upward and scrunching together. I think this helps you get your leg higher!
I think that is all for now!
