A supplemental class for intermediate ballet students, this class leads students to explore the different muscles that enable the body to work properly while standing. Work on placement and alignment is done while lying on the floor, using both turned out and parallel positions. Instruction is given on the proper use of energy as a means to lengthen muscles and freeing the body from improper tension. The last half-hour class is a standing barre that requires students to apply their experiences from the floor-work.
