That one time that I didn‘t screw up a quick petit allegro combination with the first try. How lucky it got recorded. Happy belated World Ballet Day from class with @staatsballettberlin on the stage of @staatsoperberlin | Daniil Simkin

During petit allegro, the beauty lies in the precise footwork, tight fifth positions and good use of demi plié. It's in these details that the artistry shines! Artists of The Australian Ballet | The Australian Ballet

Try this petit allegro combination along with our adult dancers! 🩰 PRO TIP: If you ever find the music feels a little slow in your petit allegro jumps, remember to use your plié, pressing your heels into the floor before taking off. Don’t rush the timing... stay just a fraction 🤏 behind in your preparation so you can land exactly on the beat. Remember to have fun with it! If you're enjoying your dancing, your audience will too! 🥰 | City Adult Ballet

🤩 We are over the moon to have the legendary Christina Johnson teaching company class this week. Here is a snippet of one of her petit allegro exercises. We love hearing her advice: “imagine that a photo of you is being taken at the top of that jump!” Johnson’s stellar career includes dancing with Dance Theatre of Harlem, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, and many more including Boston Ballet, Le Ballet du Grand Theatre de Geneve and Ballett Basel. Thank you Christina for being with us in London
