The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique: Art of Pointwork, Level 5
Art of Pointework Level 5Finis shows and explains each exercise, 15-year-old Saige demonstrates  on both sides, Finis comments and analyzes, and then Saige repeats the  exercise. This video is all about the preparations that create the results.  Watch how Saige turns her pliÃ© and rolls through her feet. As she starts  dancing across the floor, notice how Saige places and works her pliÃ© and  pushes with her feet, which results in beautifully placed triple pirouettes  en dehors. Finis and Saige then concentrate on the en dedans pirouette,  showing you how to prepare for these tricky turns so that you will really  get on your leg and turn with ease. Besides giving you technical  instructions and demonstrations on everything from simple pirouettes to  grand pirouettes en dedans, Finis has also choreographed some of the  exercises so that you can work on your dancing skills. And, of course,  Saige works on the ballerina's "bread & butter" steps -- piquÃ© turns and  fouettÃ© turns. After Saige shows her single fouettÃ© turns, she goes on  and does doubles.
