The plié/releve circle
In case it hasn’t been clear, the place where I have been teaching in Savannah is Winger contributor Veronica Moretti Niebuhr’s studio (called The Studio).
On Saturday Ms. V, four of our students (Caitlin, Kieran, Michelle, and Siena), Ms. V’s kids Enzo and Sophia, Caitlin’s mom Janie, and I went to the beach to do a little dancing! I gave them a bunch of center work, from tendus and grand battements, to single pirouettes and coupe jetes en menege. It was so much fun!
Pliés in fourth
Rhonds de Jambes
Circles in the sand!
Ballerina tracks… Tendus to the side, coming front and going back.
Caitlin gives the girls an adagio combination when we first got to the beach. I think everyone was so excited and giggly to be there that the penchées got a little out of control. Good times.
