The foundation of Ballet technique is all about "pulling up" this a term used to describe the posture, turn out and alignment. For my correct alignment I need to scoop my core and be "on" my legs and also to tuck my tail bone under. I find that I am slowly remembering to do all this but only when I think about it. I need to be able to do it with out thinking about it and so it comes naturally to me, lock it into my muscle memory.

This is a position where we have to be able to balance, I feel like I have improved slightly since the beginning of the semester but to enable me to hold this I need to; pull up on my supporting side and on my supporting leg, scoop the core and be on full releve. This will get better through time, I will upload a video shortly to show improvement. |

These are a couple of the stretches that we do in class to improve are flexibility. This will also help the strength when it comes to devlopes and grand battements. I can already see An improvement with grand battments now I have to focus on My devlopes and not holding it from my quadriceps but form underneath my leg. |
 |
The aim for this stretch is to make me more flexible and give me more strength. I want to be able to hold this without holding the bar and pull my leg closer into me. |
Personal Goals- To be more flexible in my legs, this will come from doing the stretches in the above picture everyday
- To be able to throw my legs up in battements and control it down. Using underneath the leg instead of the hip or the quadriceps
- Go through my feet more, more definition in tondus.
