When doing the Battement…

“work from the back to move your front,” here is another self assist for your clients to get the feeling of this cue in their body. When doing the Battement exercise at the standing Barre, have them raise their arm up into the air and like a pendulum bring the raised arm down to hit the working leg in the back to Battement. This circular action will get the entire leg working and not just the quadriceps. -Michelle DuVall  ]]>
