Cambré with plié and snakes
This exercise is very heavy on cambré, so I would use it as a warmup, a post-plié exercise, or even a stretch at the end of your barre.
From parallel position:
1-8: cambré forward, slowly. Enjoy the stretch. Place the hands on the floor.
1-2: Demi plié and stretch
3-4: come up
5&: demi plié, arch press
6: stretch the legs to relevé
7-8: balance, plié and turn out to 1st.
Repeat in 1st, 2nd, and 5th.
in 4th:
1-8: circular cambré de hors
1: demi plié
2: arch press
3: stretch to relevé
4-6: balance (crossing the front leg over a bit more)
7: detourné
8: plié and tendu to 5th
repeat 5th and 4th on the other side, then face the barre.
from 1st:
1--8: 4 slow elevé, then transfer the weight to sur le coups de pied on the weaker foot
1-8: 4 slow elevé on the weaker foot, and balance in sur le coups de pied until the finish.
