Beginner Ballet Barre Basics | Learn Balanchine At Home | Guided Dégagés pt. 1/2 | Lessons with Lisa

Welcome to Balanchine technique! This is part 1 of a guided barre for beginning level ballet students of all ages! In this class, we learn about front, side, and back dégagés at the barre, with arms, correct posture and proper placement. We will also learn how to add them to a step. This is also great for intermediate dancers focused on pivoting to Balanchine technique, or dancers who are returning from a long break, or injury. Pay close attention to placement and posture throughout the lesson!
