The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique Level 5 Intermediate Centerwork on Turns & Jumps

Description

ABOUT THE TEACHER: Finis Jhung performed with the San Francisco, Robert Joffrey, and Harkness ballets, on Broadway, and in film, before founding his own Chamber Ballet U.S.A. Now, he is a master ballet teacher, the creator of more than 50 instructional dance videos, and the author of The Finis Jhung Ballet Technique: A Guide for Teachers & Students. ABOUT THE VIDEO: This Class is so much fun! Finis Jhung shows and explains each exercise, Saige Miller does it, Finis corrects and coaches, Saige does it again. When it's needed, Finis has Saige try a step several times so that it's very clear to the viewer (and Saige) what needs to be done. Besides the technical "how to" information, Finis gives examples of musical and artistic choices that make the difference. With each exercise, it becomes clear that as you learn and perfect your preparations, you'll get the results you're looking for. The centerwork proceeds from working on pirouettes at the barre through grand pirouettes en dedans to new jumps such as balloté, balloné, entrechat royale, grand fouetté en tournant, and grand jeté saut de chat. You're going to watch this one with a smile and hope in your heart! EXERCISES are listed on the back cover of the DVD image above. BONUS SECTIONS: Finis chats with Saige; Saige’s Pre-class Stretches
