Art of Pointework Level 4: Finis Jhung Ballet Technique Video
Reviewing Michele's debut as
the ballerina in Balanchine's Theme & Variations at The Metropolitan Opera
House in New York City, Jennifer Dunning of the New York Times said "Ms.
Wiles tore through the demanding ballet like a colt, newly released and
running free. . . her big open torso and appetite for space were a
pleasure." This DVD shows you the "secrets." You'll be amazed when you see
what Michele does in slow motion, close-up, and freeze frame. The beauty
and precision of her pointe work is riveting and eye-opening. Finis
analyzes all of her movements, so that you can understand and apply what
you see and hear. Exercises on this video: 1. Soutenu, pas de bourrée
suivi en tournant; 2. Pas de bourrée dessus - dessous, simple & en
tournant; 3. Échappé, sous-sus, tombé relevé arabesque; 4. Fondu relevé
développé a la seconde & quatrième devant, pas de bourrée; 5. En de hors
