Art of Pointework Level 5: Finis Jhung Ballet Technique • Ballet Lessons DVD Video
Finis 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 plié and
rolls through her feet. As she starts dancing across the floor, notice how
Saige places and works her plié 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 — piqué turns and fouetté turns. After Saige shows her
single fouetté turns, she goes on and does doubles. Dance, Ballerina,

As Finis Jhung often says in
class, "you either stand up, or you fall. You either balance, or you

carefully constructed and minutely detailed barre, Finis frequently asks
Kelley Waddell of The American Ballet Theatre (and you) to see if she can
continue doing an exercise with her hand off the barre. Sometimes, he asks
her to check and see that she’s not sitting back on her heel, because he
wants her to feel she’s always ready to move from that position. Exercises
