Timing of when the knee comes up and when it comes down. It’s important to have an internal rhythm while doing this. Hope that helps! | Kirov Academy of Washington DC | Facebook

Remember, the energy must go up to allow ourselves to hold that position even if our body wants to come down. | Runqiao Du Ballet Coaching | Facebook
