Right side shown only. Repeat video twice to do left side with music.

This video is a basic pointe class warm up combination at the barre that I would give to my students. A major technique aspect I try to emphasize to my students is "échappé" means "to escape". Thus, both feet have to arrive properly presented at the exact same moment. They arrive together both on the extend out and extent in to each position. Use of a deep plié here as well as rolling through the feet and keeping their pas de bourrée tight and tiny are other main points. No pun intended! :)
