Summary: The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique Level 4 Intermediate Centerwork on Turns Exercise 3. Assemblé soutenu en tournant en dedans, promenade en dedans en attitude, arabesque pose, pas de bourrée en avant Finis shows the exercise step by step and then it is demonstrated and coached with these Teaching Points: This exercise teaches you to begin each movement with the muscles of the supporting foot and leg fully engaged in connecting your body to the floor. In order to turn to a new direction, you reach back with an arm and shoulder. You are always turning your arms and legs out and away from each other. You work from the inside-out, constantly opening from the center of the body. One foot leads so the other will follow naturally. One movement always leads to another. You are in constant motion, sending energy and weight equally in opposite directions. Saige Miller of the JKO School at ABT demonstrates while Finis stands by and coaches.
