DYING SWAN : VAGANOVA DIARIES : WALKTHROUGH This was such a hard variation. I was very proud of what I did here because I had very little coaching on it. Once a week with my acting teacher and then self practice. I didn’t once practice with my actual ballet teacher. Everyone has their own opinions and especially if my ballet teacher hadn’t seen it I was sure she would have opinions on it but she didn’t say much other than well done so I was happy with that though I was very very nervous to show

STRONGER HIPS FOR EXTENSIONS 🙌✨ Having good extensions goes far beyond being flexible in the lakes. Whilst this is super important, we need a really strong core but also hip flexes. Hip flexes are such a precarious topic because if we overwork them, being weaker in other areas, we can get pain And overuse injuries. However, they need to be very strong at the same time and the hip flexor strength along with the core strength go hand in hand. We can do some drills making sure that all the surroun

DON’T MAKE YOUR FOURTH TOO BIG ✨ it’s very essential with fourth position that it’s not too big. You want it to be about 1 foot width apart. This is because when it’s too large, we often put our weight too much on the back leg, not enough on the front leg which basically means will be in between our two legs almost like a lop sided lunge. You want to think about being more on the front leg, by squeezing your glutes underneath, your hips are nice and flat and having this sensation of being slight

USE YOUR HAMSTRING! LIFT THE KNEE ✨ALWAYS MORE! So easily done. You do a huge Grand Battement derrier and the leg looks amazing then comes crashing down before returning to passé. As you start to bend the knee from either devant or arabesque, alarmist focus on lifting the knee to counteract it from going to low. We must lift and engage the hamstring more as it bends to keep the sensation of lift rather than collapse creating a smooth line of leg! I found this super helpful when executing a stron

We don’t want this… Firstly look at your hand as you go down. The more you go down, the more they come forwards slightly so you can still see them. Then we will have the head in line and the hands still at eye level rather than behind the shoulders. Super important! Although Leonardo DiCaprio is hea

So allow yourself to plié on that leg. You’ll be surprised how “off the leg” you initially will be if you have a habit of falling.

“THAT’s NOT A WHIP” USE YOUR HEAD FOR TURNS 😅✨ Focus on your head. 🌀 A faster spot can dramatically improve your turns—and you’ll realise you don’t need to force that single or double at all. Instead of muscling your way around, it becomes about clean form turnout and back control. When we’re just starting out, it’s easy to lose the shape of the position in the effort to just make it around. But the form must come first—then we layer in spotting and back support. ✨Tip: If you’re brand new to p
