Summary: The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique Level 3 Centerwork Exercise 1: Tendu plié, pas de bourrée dessous, passé en arrière, port de bras Finis shows the exercise step by step and then it is demonstrated and coached with these Teaching Points: The French terms are defined in English. Finis breaks down the exercise one step at a time. Keep your supporting shoulder placed outside the supporting toe. Press the supporting arm down as you did while working at the barre. Push down in order to come up from the plié. Each step of the pas de bourrée is a piqué balance on one foot—as at the barre, you're always on one leg. Work into the demi-plié slowly so you control the placement of the hips. Roll up through your spine so you stretch your back muscles.
