A teacher's guide to cross-training tendu:
🔍 Muscles Involved:
1️⃣ Quadriceps- Keeps knee engaged.
2️⃣ Glutes complex- Maintains stability of pelvis and hip.
3️⃣ Adductor Muscles- Extremely key in closing.
4️⃣ Hip flexors- Initiates the leg moving devant.
5️⃣ Calf Muscles (Gastrocnemius, Soleus) - Keep bring ankle into our pointed position.
6️⃣ Intrinsic muscles of the feet- To pass through demi to full pointe.
7️⃣ Peroneals- To maintain alignment and stability in eversion.
Tendu devant engages these muscles to extend the leg forward while maintaining alignment and stability through the core and supporting leg. It improves mobility, strength, and control, essential for precision of ALL dance movements!
