Johanna Sapakie "Stylized Inside Turn into Ball Changes" - Contemporary Online Dance Class/Choreography Tutorial

This exercise works on maintaining your center on your inside turn while coming from an unconventional preparation and utilizing an unconventional turning position.

Notes
  • This exercise also incorporates a style into the movement to explore using your technique away from straight, classical jazz lines.
  • Over cross your working leg (not just a passé) on the inside turn.
  • Challenge yourself to get the lowest, forced arch plié you can without sitting into your supporting hip on the inside turn.
  • Really use the ball changes to travel and remember to stay grounded.
